I am happy with both
Bonus: Apple USB C headphones adapter
I took just bough this bumper earlier this week... its not so bad. I thought it wouldn't look good, but it's alright, definitely great protection!
I did an Aliexpress impulse buy. Bought an unmarked black wood moto shell and a red anodized aluminum bumper. Cut me some slack, I was drunk, it was after midnight and I was warn raw from previous PH activities. The next morning I was like, wtf. Well it was only $8, not a big loss. I got them today, put the shell and bumper on, kind of like my little frankenstien. The bumper seems to fit the folds of my hand nicely. Think its a keeper.

Has anyone purchased this silicone case from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/iShoppingdeal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317307713&sr=1-2
I ordered one yesterday and I'm hoping it's better than the silicone case I got from China. It's ok but just a little loose. The picture of the case on Amazon looks different so I figured I'd give it a shot since the price was reasonable.
No, but thanks just ordered it. The targus portfolio case is nice for most of the time, but I'm looking for something for around the house.
It's already sold out.
I thought it might go out of stock after people realized it was on Amazon. As stated in my op - the one I ordered from China off ebay is a little to loose. The cutouts are great but I'm looking for something a little tighter.
I can't see the price since it's unavailable. How much did you guys buy it for? Was it better than Sikai's price of $17.00?
I'm not so sure on the design. Back looks kind of weird, Sikai has a grippy texture like micro-cobblestone. Also the Sikai case comes up around the trim of the screen farther than this one. This one looks like an iPad silicone case I bought a year ago that had this thin lip where the edges are and it would fall out extremely easily.
The Sikai case isn't loose at all, it might be based on when you bought it or what color but the clear one I bought is tight as a glove with literally no probability of falling out even holding it one handed. It's very well made.
Case is $10.95 and I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free for me. Maybe I should have phrased my comments regarding the Sikai case differently. I do like the texture of the Sikai case and how much of the TF it actually covers but when I go to pull it out of my bag the edge along the face moves way too easily. Granted it isn't loose to the point of it falling off on its own but it also shouldn't come out with a minor movement - only if I'm trying to remove it intentionally.

Added by edit.
The good thing about this silicone case is it also fits the keyboard dock, given you're willing to do some cutting. So, I got 2 pieces, one covering the tablet and one covering the keyboard dock. I'll post a picture tomorrow as I'm too lazy now.
Iso, when you get it can you do a review side by side with the Sikai case and point out the differences and faults?
Just got this Aluminum Stand from them for $9.99.
Pretty pleased with it. It's got a solid construction. One grip is that the silicone material won't stick properly to my Bear Motion case but that is most likely because of the texture of the Bear Motion case. Without the case it works great.
For $9.99 it's a pretty good deal. I also bought their tablet holder for the same price on their site. Here's the link to both:

Good morning everybody.
So about a month ago (20 February) I ordered an 'LG G3 Aluminium metal bumper' from seller galaxyshoppingcn on eBay.co.uk. At a purchase price of £6, I thought nothing much could be lost here.
So after a very long shipping time of just under a month from China (arrived 12 March), I took it out of its box. Immediately I noticed how flimsy the bumper itself was. Rather than deciding against using it, I decided to fit it to my G3 which has a black titanium dbrand skin affixed to the back and Nilkin tempered glass screen protector on the front. As I put it on, it started to puncture the screen protector, forming a chip on the bottom left corner of the screen protector and a hairline crack extending from that right to the top right where a similar chip had formed.
Consequently I removed this glass screen protector and replaced it with a plastic one. The bumper still would not fit. I had to remove the thin protective bits of paper from along the inside of the bumper and I finally got it to fit. Much to my disappointment however, I could still see the deformation of the bumper; the top and right gold edges of my G3 were still visible with the bumper on, i.e. it was bent outwards at these points. I continued to use it, but my annoyances continued to grow. My charger would not fit in the small port hole provided in the bumper, and neither would my headphones. This led me to remove the bumper and apply a new glass screen protector.
What annoyed me the most is that it did not just cost me £6, it cost me the additional £10 I had to spend on a new glass screen protector. If it had not been there the first time, I reckon that it would have punctured the screen itself, or at least have given it a deep scratch. I threw this piece of garbage out. I advise you to stay clear of these. Buy cases from reputable sellers and companies.
Just a heads up
I purchased one of the LoveMEI aluminum bumpers from someone on Amazon marketplace. It took a bit of time to arrive, but it was expected.
I have a dBrand Carbon Fiber back skin, and a Zagg HD screen protected (plastic). The bumper fit fine, although it was a two person job to put the darn thing on.
After using it for maybe 3 days, I noticed just how horrible my cell/data speeds were. As soon as I took off the case, the problems went away.
Metal and radiowaves dont mix you know!

I'm just liking the feel of the G3 caseless with a glass screen protector and my dbrand skin now. Would be perfection if the screen colours weren't so washed out!
IDK why you have that problem with the metal bumper. But I go ahead and ordered these from Amazon VWTECH Aluminum Metal Frame Bumper Skin Cover Case for LG G3 (Champaign Gold).
Uses it for a few days . No WiFi, Data, NFC and Cell Signal whatever problems. Its easy to install with the clip.
Thank you for that bumper for lg g3... i have being looking for one. Had an N4 nexus and loved the bumper
Ohh, i just noticed that yours have the cut out for the antenna. Do you know if they make the case without the cut out?
Ordered this first day this phone pre released through eBay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/322563385450
Just got it in today. Expected it a lot earlier as the seller was supposedly in California but it seems to have been drop shipped through DHL.
Now, review. The case actually fits nice. It's nice and thin and really fits snugly with the phone. Cut outs seem to be properly placed though really look a bit cheaply made. Has a two hole cut out on the left side which looks to be for a lanyard or a phone trinket. Case itself has a small lip to safely be placed on it's face and the camera cut out looks to have some protection. Power and volume work nicely.
The tempered glass is a big small on the sides. Since the note 4 and these curved screens this has just been how it's done and I'm not a fan. I've lined this up and just see too much cut off from the edges that it would drive me nuts.
For the price it's decent enough. Waiting on another Chinese case and a orzly to come in. Hopefully those are a step up.
Just a heads up everyone, I tried the Razer Word Case and was unhappy with the coverage/protection so I switched to the Tudia Merge. Better case all around, but it prevented the Razer Wireless Charger from quick charging. It would still charge (usually slowly), but I wanted good protection and quick wireless charging.
The Spigen delivered! Quick charging, good grip, full coverage, and it was a dollar cheaper on Amazon!
This will be what I'm sticking with.
I am not using the wireless charger, but I am also using the liquid air armor case and enjoy it quite well. I was hoping Spigen would release their "rugged armor" style series for this phone (I have used this style on several phones in the past), but I spoke with a rep at Spigen and they indicated they do not have plans to make that series for the RP2 at this time

I'm rocking the same case now. It's kinda great but it didn't stop me from denting the speaker grills but overall protection, it delivers.
Mine is arriving tomorrow.
I have always had spigen cases on my phones ad even after many drops from my daughter no phone has ever been damaged from a fall.
I expect this case to be as good!

I have one. Love it!
Is this bulkier or same size as the Tudia Merge case?
I got this case as well and it's awesome.
Initially I bought the Razer carbon fiber case, despite many reviews saying not to, and that thing was awful! It felt like paper, not very protective, and was more slippery than the phone!
Got this case as well. Not bulky at all in my opinion, and the case feels solidly good. the buttons are easy to press. would have liked to see a kickstand. no regrets!

+1.. I originally wanted the Razer case, but at ~$45, I wasn't about to spend that much. Went with the Spigen (looks exactly the same), and haven't looked back. I got it on Amazon for around $14 (IIRC), and it is perfect. Good texture for grip, doesn't impeded button usage at all, and looks really good. I've been kicking around getting the slate grey one on Amazon, but haven't really decided yet.
I had bought some cheap glass for the front and it flexed with the case on the sides, so I ordered a better glass. I ended up using the old glass on the back (in between the back and case) to cover the circle hole to keep the glass from getting etched. Wireless charging still works I think adds some rigidity. The super shieldz glass works best with the case for the front. It butts right up against the sides of the case with, no lifting or flexing of the glass.

If i put the spigen liquid air case on, i don't get fast charging. When i put the phone on the Razer wireless charger with the case on, it first indicates "charging slowly" and then it switches to "charging" but no "charging rapidly" anymore.
I know 40 is alot to spend on a case these days for sure. I do have to say though, that I shelled it out, got the Razer brand case and I honestly think it was well worth it. By far the most protective case you can get for this phone so if peace of mind is big for anyone I def recommend getting that case.
