Bye
I bought their screen only protector and loving it! The first screen protector out of several dozen I used in the past 5 years that installed easily and without any bubbles! It was scary at first to use the "wet application" procedure but, hey, it worked like a charm! Highly recommended!
I should try their full body option...
This looks good, but I'm looking forward to some cases being designed specifically for the Optimus 7. Has anyone seen these around? My carrier, Telus (Canada), hasn't gotten any yet and I already got a scratch on my phone's screen!
What are you talking about? My Optimus 7 from Telus came with a screen protector, which I have yet to take off...it is working well so far, and I am waiting until bestskinsever has a skin for this phone.
ordered...
I ordered the devdef full body kit from the UK... it was like $15 ... I'll give a review when I get it.
I've ordered mine on Dec.28 and received it today. Fast shipment considering it's free and I'm a few thousand miles far.
But I didn't like it at first. The cut is not so perfect, and at least until now (after 1 hour installed), the display's image is not so good. I'll wait the first 24~48h before made a "final judgement" about DevDef for Optimus 7.
I cant find a better one. I want a leather one but there is no

My LG is open-market, and it had original foil protectors on the screen and on the back-cover. I have been using my phone for 6 months, and on LCD protection foil there are no any signs of scratch. On a foil protecting back cover there are only two small places where air entered between foil and cover. I am not intending to use any kind of additional protectors as long as is possible to user original foils.
I bought a screen protector from a random store and a Gelaskin full body protector skin against scratches & it looks awesome, take a look in Gelaskins Website with lots of choices for the LG Optimus 7. Probobly you will find something you like.
I made my own design with Linkin Park ^^
I got pics but since I only got 2 post I cant link or upload them yet...
Are this type of cover better than a rigid case? They only provide scratch protection not shock protection?
http://list.qoo10.sg/gmkt.inc/Goods/Goods.aspx?goodscode=412947105 if any of you guys is interested in this kind of casing looks similar to the one for the iphone. Not sure whether they ship international across the globe.
Interesting, and not too pricey either. Wonder if its actually quality though.

according to what i've read is an exact OEM version from the iphone. was wondering too. guess i should buy and try it out soon.
Id be a little worried about a case like this. If anyone gets it please review it casue it is definitely intriguing. How would the capacitive buttons work though?

well I look forward to your review. I don't plan on dunking the guy in water, but it could come handy when I know I'll be in some harsher environments I.E. camping, skiing, etc.
edit: according to some ebay sellers, it's not waterproof. Just very water resistant, but would still serve my needs.
I really liked the concept, right up until I realized it looks like there is no way to remove the stylus, which I understand but not for me if thats the case.

yeah. it's the same brand as the one i posted
found it for $29 shipped on ebay so I will report back what I think once I get it
even if not water proof it might not be hard to "finish" the deal and make it actually waterproof. I wonder if we can get a IR remote to "control" the phone (IE turn screen on and off and start camera and start stop recording. ie the basics.
4k underwater should be neat!
Looking forward to your review of the case. I am really looking for a waterproof case and Lifeproof doesn't have any plans of making one. Let me know what you think. We can always use the camera underwater when you change the setting to use the Volume up to take a photo or start the recording for a movie.
I'd be interested in participating in a petition for a LifeProof case I'd pledge to purchase one for sure. Especially the Nuud one so that I can still feel my lovely TG protector
Please do post a review of this. One way to test the waterproofing is to fold up tissue paper or kleenex inside the assembled case and submerge it overnight. It's not a guarantee that it's solid, but it'd be some reassurance.
hmmm I was thinking then how do you turn it on and off you could always disable the lock screen all together (I think you can do that ???)
but if the camera does not stay loaded..... then you have to surface to do it since the touch screen won't work underwater
an IR remote simplifies things. because then we only need a water proof ir remote. we can then BUILD our own bullet proof 100% water proof cases no problem. since we won't have to interact and we can "BOLT" the phone into the case.
its one of the reasons I am excited about the IR blaster. my concern is that the IR blaster might be one way IE can transmit but not receive.
I wonder. will bluetooth work underwater if the two devices are "touching" each other?

No way I would ever intentionally submerge my baby in water, but if one wanted to they could possibly set up a tasker profile: Context: camera on, Action: display timeout (whatever length you want) for example +other goodies: brightness etc., and do some button remapping i.e. triple click home/whatever (open camera app), volume up/down (record/take picture). Probably need to get rid of that time limit for 4k as well -- thread floating around here somewhere. Just some ideas. Would love to see some videos if you ever end up doing it.
I would rather say after reading reviews off other sites on google the case is more or less likely water resistant and there is too much opening on the case for it to be 100% waterproofing cases. Will update with pictures soon as i have just ordered mine recently.

this case is NOT water proof. but I think I can MAKE it temporarily water proof. Fill in the mic holes plate that proximity sensor hole (and disable the proximity sensor) Fill in the speaker hole etc.. etc.. (use an ear piece)
go diving? NO but shove 12 inches under water to snap a pic or short video? maybe.
the point of external control is that it is then VERY easy to make a TRULY water proof case. think pelican box with a clear window for the screen and camera lens?
the MOMENT you need to access buttons you either need to use a weak flexible membrane OR you need to "compromise" the case and add water proof mechanical buttons.
eliminate ALL of that and suddenly interesting things are possible and at a price us SCHLEPS down here can afford !!!
have you SEEN how much money truly good quality water proof housings go for. $2500 for a good housing for my camera (good not the best just good!!)
if their were no buttons.... easy and cheap
As a buyer trying to decide between a LG G3 or LG G4 or Samsung S5, I have been reading online that the LG G3 has a defective case design that results in cracks that are not a result of drops and abuse.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/lg-replacing-g3s-cracks-microphone-t2875512
Has LG re-engineered and redesigned upgraded NEW parts that will NOT crack once the fix has been applied?
Or, is LG just replacing defective cases with the same defective parts that will eventually crack again?
What is LG's current process and timeline and customer costs associated with this repair?
If taken to a Sprint corporate store, what is Sprint's current process and timeline and customer costs associated with this repair?
Thank you.
PS
I refuse to use a case with the G3 because it is already TOO WIDE from left to right.
70mm or less should be the max width of these phones.
I just took my thin case of today to clean under it. I found a few cracks in the back cover as well. Also, the stock blueish camera lens scratch real easy. I have replaced lens a few times already with aftermarket ones, that don't scratch near as easy.

What color is your LG G3?
Please let us know the how your repair works out.
Thanks.
I had cracks in my Sprint G3 and sent it in to LG and they fixed it free of charge. At first they said I had to pay for shipping there, but then I sent them pictures and the they sent me a shipping label. Phone came back in a little over a week crack free and charged nothing.
Hello everyone,
I have cracked the v30 screen after a 1.5 meters fall on the sidewalk, had a case and all.
Looking online I have found screen glass only (without the oled display and digitizer) for about 5$ and a full screen with digitizer for about 150$.
Could not find any replacement guide for glass only, is it even possible?
I also have checked with a few labs regarding replacement work and as I understand the phone will not be water resistant after the replacement,
LG labs included (at least in my country).
If I decide to do it on my own, does anyone have info on how to restore water resistant after a screen replacement.
Happy to finally join the community,
Thank you

One of the tear down videos on YouTube says water resistance should be almost like factory if done right.
Can't think of the name, but it's the famous guy. Jerry Rig?

What screen protector were you using? Any decent protector would not only protect from direct impacts, but buffer from stresses. (Please don't tell us, with all the discussion of them, that you got a case and not a screen protector!)
Larger cities, such as NYC, tend to have cell phone repair places. They probably don't stock the LG screens - Samsung and Apple mostly - but you could probably make an appointment and have them do it.
I'm going to guess that replacing just the glass isn't a viable option. Just like the samsung edge devices t2je curved screen will prove to be very difficult to deal with.
Replacing the whole screen looks extremely easy from a video I watched a whilw back. Nearly anyone can do it.
I can't find any guides for replacing a cracked screen either.
My phone screen still works fine but just doesn't look great with all the cracks I have in it now after an unfortunate drop.
From watching tear down videos, it seems impossible to replace just the glass and so the parts needed to fix it are about $200... and even if I bought them, I wouldn't know how to do it myself.
LG won't even give me a price estimate or time estimate if I send it to them to fix. They charge $20 just to diagnose it after you send it to them before they'll give you any price to fix or time to fix estimates.
I'll probably just sell this phone as is and get what little I can out of it and move on to a newer phone like the Galaxy S9+.
I've decided it is cheaper to have LG fix a cracked screen. The cost is $146 (you pay the shipping to them, they cover the cost of shipping the phone back to you).
The only downside is the time it takes (up to 2 weeks)... but it's cheaper than all the kits I've found to do it yourself plus you know it'll be done right and your phone will still be under warranty.
Glass only repair is a very tough work, especially for LG V30 with curved screen, you could possibly ruin the whole screen. I think it's better to change a whole new display, there's a screen completely repair tutorial on Youtube, made by Wit Rigs, you could take that as a reference.
Hi,
I have been reading about how to fix the GPS hardware problem which seems to be a cmmon problem with the LG G5. My first approach is to try a new back cover. I have found a "new" one for sale on popular auction site, but the case doesn't have the small wire gauze/mesh piece in the top right hand corner. Is it correct to say that this piece should be part of the rear cover?
Thanks in advance!
