I ordered a silicone gel rubber case from eBay seller case_ology yesterday, & awoke this morning to find a message from them. The message explained that the case I'd bought had been a part of a shipment that had been mislabeled by the manufacturer, & were in fact cases for the Sprint version. Sounds familiar, right? Well, the seller, instead of just sending me a Sprint case, offered an immediate refund, or that I could wait until the correct cases arrived early next week.
I was just impressed with the professionalism & thought I'd pass on the info.
Any chance there's any in white? Kinda tired of having a dark phone when my jackets and purses are dark toned and I can't find it.

..what? They're the same damn phone. The only difference is the size of the camera lens assembly, apparently the 13mp camera isn't flush with the body. Or does the LS970 case not have a cutout for the SD/SIM sockets on the left side? .. and why would you WANT one?
I've had the E970 and E971 in my hands side-by-side, that's the only external difference between those two.
No, they are not the same phone. The Sprint version is longer and rounded corners while the AT&T version is wider and has squared corners. And Sprint does not have a SIM/SD card slot. Calm your rampage and do research lol.

Yeah - The AT&T version must be an AT&T exclusive. The Sprint version is the same as the international one externally from what I see. So I guess we're very much a niche market unless LG releases the E970 version internationally also. Or, to put it another way, we're probably going to be waiting a bit for some more case love.
All I want is a silicone case. ): boo for at&t wanting to be different.

Its a good thing as you get MicroSD card or you would of had none.
SD card actually isn't important to me considering 16gb internal.
I'm not even using the SD card yet and I've only used 2 of the internal.

I bought the black one earlier this morning, as well as an Xtremeguard protector.
I tried checking a few places and haven't seen anything. I'd prefer a bumper case so I can preserve the beauty of the back of the phone. What are our chances of getting some?

Here is one; It's really expensive for what it is. Hopefully some cheaper ones will pop up on amazon soon.
Yea, that's unnecessarily expensive. Do these cases cover the LED light on the power button?

Bumper case with a glass-back phone..
Why not just get one with a handle across the top, they you could actually use it as a curling rock.
I'm totally with you on the bumper case. Want want WANT. I've also seen some cases that are silicone with a clear plastic backing... might do in a pinch. Still much prefer a bumper (that's not $35... yeesh).
I have Belkin Bumper and I'm happy with it.. The only Con I have is the Headphone Jack/Port.. I have the Cassette Adapter in my car and it does not fit as the hole on the top is small. For that reason I might want to sell this case. If I can and get a new simple one.

Yes they cover the LED. (As its 2 layer case)
I hate the bumper case. So ugly and bulky. You can remove the rubber part from the outer shell and that's the size I wish it was. But you can't use it that way since it is loose and looks unfinished.

I agree that the bumper is too expensive for what it is. I spent $35 on a bumper I used for 3 days, and stopped because it was much bulkier than it needed to be and ugly to boot. My LG's naked now and I feel fine.

I found this bumper for the E971 on a Canadian retailer's website. Seems like the E971 and the At&t E970 are the same size so it should fit:
gocellular.ca/?item=lg3005 (new member so wont let me post direct link)
Part number for this is CCH180AGCABK and seems to be manufactured directly by LG. Looks much slimmer than the Belkin version.
According to Rogers website, it's the same size as the 973, not 970

Yep your right wasn't paying close enough attention, site I was using to compare sizes showed the E970 at 5.15 x 2.82 x 0.33 (131 x 72 x 8 mm) and the E971 at 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.5 mm (5.15 X 2.82. X 0.33). I looked at it in inches got excited and then failed to see that it is actually a different size.
lady at puremobile.com said this was for the AT&T version and would not fit the Sprint version. I ordered it via Amazon...we'll see.

edit: just got the case...it does not fit. it's just a smidgen too narrow for the phone.
this is my main gripe with LG at the moment...to sell a device under one name yet with multiple sizes. that was stoopid.

Keep us posted guys. The Belkin bumper from AT&T is decent but the ports are too small and you can't plug in the usb cable at the bottom to charge it.

After looking at the picture it says 13.0 MP right next to the camera. If that's on the case, and not just Photoshop, then it most likely not for our phones.

I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

Thanks, saw that one already though. Only seller available is charging $15 (after shipping) which is more than I'm willing to spend compared to $4 for the others. I ended up just ordering a clear one.
Is anyone willing to sell me their Flex mini suit case? They are no longer available online but I really want this case.
This case is the best in "slim" class. My recommendations.

I was actually referring to the Flex Minisuit case but thanks anyways.
Why has otter box, balistic and Trident decided to ignore the E970? I mean hell the Atrix HD at least got an otter box. I figured when I got this phone that I could get an otter box for it since it was glass on both sides. But good lord this is horrible. I'm using a snap around plastic case that came with my order thats better than nothing, but still... Do we need to start a petition or somting?

I couldn't find a Slim flip case fo OG like the ones available for S3/S4 and note.
However I had seen something resemling a case similiar to that.
BTW , the cases generally available and the ones which I was talking about were the poetic flip cases , which add a lot of bulk , or as it appears from the pics. But it feels like this will protect it from serious damage.
Some of the goo cases I found :
1. Expensive one . : http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Optimus-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3a89128e21

The second link actually looks good, ill probably get a white one.
The iMak cases are... Very foreign. And your phone attaches to it with adhesive instead of any clips. I used one for awhile and the case started breaking apart after a few months.

Honestly, just curious because there were already a couple with similar cases mentioned.
Not that I could find. Just had another scan through some older threads and couldn't find any. Plenty case discussions, just not of the type I'm after. Hence asking.

The Ginmic is high quality, and will moderately protect the sides from damage. However, it doesn't have much of a lip at the front, and the back lip is very slightly more lifted than the camera hump. I'd pair this with a screen protector and/or a back skin.
