can you use any case on the G2?

with the buttons on the back, is it even possible to protect the phone with Otterbox or something?

I see no problem with making a hole for the buttons. LG already made the QuickWindow case that will be available at start.

There will be a few choices for cases I'm assuming when this phone finally launches. If I end up getting the G2 I'll probably go with Spigen. I mentioned this case in the other accessory thread.

What about Verizon model vs the rest? Keys are much smaller (I'm gonna say shrinking the buttons was equally as lame as the front Verizon logo, hopefully cases will cover that up)
I haven't been able to find anything yet for this other than the Verizon store who said they could order one (Quick view window case) for $50+.

The VZW G2 is thicker than the others and does not work with all the other cases. You need a specific VZW G2 case. I purchased the Poetic case and it does not fit my VZW G2.

I wonder if non-hardshell cases will work... like TPU cases, which are my preference.
So many on eBay from China.
Why do I always get stuck with a phone that never gets any worthwhile accessories? First, the HTC Incredible which was launched and then immediately forgotten about. Then the Galaxy Nexus which suffered the same fate. Now the LG G2 on Verizon with its different dimensions. Makes me want to switch to AT&T before my 14-days is up.

Verizon Holster Shell Combo - Just received

I just received my Verizon holster/shell combo, here are a few first impressions.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...d=15307&accessoryId=66806&initialPhoneId=7091
(no pics yet, as I don't have another camera at the moment...later)
PROS
- Fits well, snug. Cut outs are good.
- Tough, case and holster are not going to break easy
- kickstand, you can prop up side ways or upright
- works fine with wireless charging
- I like having a holster for when Im out and at the gym. Makes it convenient to have 1 case that serves dual purpose
- Not falling out of the holster, TIGHT fit
CONS
- Heavy, adds a bit of weight to the device - not a deal breaker though
- Protects back and sides, bottom and top are left "open"
- bit slippery
- little hard to get out of the holster, snug. A little much I think
The case is $29.99 from VZW. I would recommend it to anyone wanting this style of case. Not for everyone as it adds some bulk overall.

I just got mine today and am very happy with it. I now have all the cases offered by verizon. I do like the incipio feather the best but would like it in black instead of grey. I use the holster with the incipio as well as the window case.

I ordered mine through the mobile store to get my discount. Probably will get tracking number Monday.

Three local corp. stores only had silicone case. I'm going to order the Incipio.

[REVIEW] 4 different G2 cases

I have the AT&T model, so some of the cases my not apply to other variants.
I have bought 4 different TPU cases and finally on my 4th I found a winner.
First:
Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for LG G2 (Sprint / T-Mobile Only) - Retail Packaging
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EZCFT8W/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pros:
Covers the bezel completely.
Plenty of distance between TPU and glass when phone is flipped over.
Matte finish on the entire case, so the grip is nice and doesn't show fingerprints.
Cons:
The bottom of the case doesn't fit snug against the phone.
The thickness of the case makes it hard to keep a head phone jack in.
Raises the edge of a screen protector sometimes, and I tried two different brands of screen protectors.
Second:
TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody Series TPU Protective Case for LG (LG G2 (T-Mobile & Sprint), Black)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F27CY4Q/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pros:
Same as above (Diztronic).
Cons:
Same as above (Diztronic), but fits sung on the bottom.
Side of case is glossy, so it will show fingerprints.
Third:
Cellto Premium LG G2 TPU Flexible Case with HD Screen Protector [Slim Ultra Fit] (Black) Diary Cover w/ ID Pocket Top Quality + 1 Cellto Premium Clear Screen Cover [ AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint Only / Not for Verizon ]
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00EKW33IU/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pros:
Very slim
Fits around the edges well.
Won't raise the edge of a screen protector.
Cons:
Not much distance between the glass and the edge of the case, so leaving it flipped over on a surface is a bad idea.
Doesn't completely cover the bezel.
Comes off to easy because it doesn't cover the bezel.
Too glossy, so fingerprints show up easily
Finally (and my favorite):
Fosmon DURA Frost SLIM-Fit Case Flexible TPU Cover for LG G2 / Optimus G2 (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F0ZQX5G/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
Pros:
Covers the bezel, but ever so slightly.
Plenty of distance between the case and a screen protector, so it won't raise the edge.
Plenty of distance between case and screen, so flipping over phone on a surface is fine.
Matte finish on back.
Slim profile.
Fits snug around the entire phone.
Cons:
The side edge of the case is glossy, so it will show fingerprints.

Thanks for this. I never thought to ask about headphone jack clearance and that's something I use often enough that I should.

I will say this. It depends on your headphone s also. If the rubber or plastic surrounding the plug its' fat', or the jack itself is short, my review may not hold up.

Question for TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody Series TPU Protective Case
Hi,
i just ordered the G2 in germany and i will get the Vodafone Edition.
Now i am confused which version of the Case i have to choose.
I saw a youtube video where a guy compares the Verizon Edition with the AT&T Edition.
He said the AT&T Edition is the international.
Is it true and should i choose the AT&T Edition?
Can someone help me or is it really a fault to choose the wrong size?
I thought, the size should be the same...
Thx!

I thought the T-Mobile USA was the international? The att one has the extra Mic on back.
I could be wrong.
LG G2

Is there a really size difference between Verizon, Tmobile and AT&T Edition?
I have seen the Verizon Edition looks an the back different.
Can you maybe post a pic of your Edition so i can compare it with the vodafone edition or can you maybe show me the length, width and thickness?
I don't want to buy the wrong Case =/

Fosman not compatible with VZW. Coincidentally, I have the Tudia case coming, but probably would have shelled out 3 or 4 bucks for a quick alternative. Thanks anyway for the review.

I just got the same phone and I ordered the Diztronic one, but your comment about it lifting edges of protector made me worried, so I am going to order Fosmon too. Actually this thing, especially the S variant looks exactly like what I got for my wife's T679 from newegg. I can definitely vouch for this case on its durability, although I don't think she ever dropped it on concrete to test it, but overall it seems to do a good job keeping its color without any fades or chips or cracks.

Also looks very simliar to what eForCity is selling. I wonder if it is one manufacturer with sellers rebranding them, or if they are all ripoff of Fosmon. Also the S variant does not show fingerprint since it has a textured (like brushed) matte finish on most of the back, and it also has a grip on sides which makes it easy to hold, more firm, but a little uncomfortable if you hold too tight.

Case with a Built In Screen Protector?

Hi, I am getting the G2 for Sprint in about a week, and I was wondering if anyone has seen a case with a built in screen protector, and if so how they like it? If not, what's the best accessory you've seen?

The only two cases that I know of that have "built-in" screen protectors is either the Otterbox Defender or Ballistic SG MAXX. Both of these cases are for heavy duty protection and so they will add bulk. These are NOT slim cases.

my friend had a waterproof case for his iphone. Ill try to find the brand of that. Its not bulky too.

I was not able to find one of these that will fit the Verizon model. I like the looks of the case, at least the one that has the belt clip with it.

Otterbox Defender is available for all LG G2 variants including the Verizon model. Go onto Otterbox's website and you will see a separate link that redirects you to the Verizon variant page.
Both the SG Maxx and Otterbox come with belt clips. However, I think you can only get the SG and not the SG Maxx for the Verizon model.

Yes I have the Otter Box Defender for my G2. I am just not happy with the issues with the Defender Screen protector. I have removed the screen protector and put a new one over my screen.

On the Ballistic SG Maxx, the screen protection sucks.. The touchscreen is just UNUSABLE.
Is the Otter Box Defender have a Built-in screen protection, or is it a film to stick on the screen?

Droid Turbo cases

Starting the thread as we find Droid turbo cases. Case-mate already has their site up.
http://www.case-mate.com/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases/Motorola-DROID-Turbo-Cases.asp

Lol can't see the capacitive keys in the front-facting picture of the case. Wish it really looked like that

With the bulk of this phone and the kevlar back I'm hoping someone simply makes a bumper. Give the screen a slight raise from a fall as well as the camera.
Cheers to hoping!

I already found quite a few more yesterday. My thread is in the General section.

Seidio if you see this, make a CONVERT case! Please! Incipio Feather too.
The casemate cases have coating that peels.

Yeah, I too am wondering how they are going to handle that. I fondled both the "MFG" and the ballistic nylon-backed phones briefly today and they didn't feel any different. I can't imagine four different Moto flipcase SKU's between the two phone sizes and the two case materials, but I might not be trying hard enough.
-e- I looked at some of the press photos and I now see the the cloth-backed phone's camera lens is definitely set further back in. Less than 1mm difference between the two, according to Moto's spec sheet. it doesn't seem like enough to justify how deep the camera appears in some of the photos.

Otterbox has Lifeproof fre, Defender, and Commutter cases posted... along with 32 NFL team logo Defender cases. Can be found on motorola, lifeproof, and otterbox websites. Sorry I can't post links yet.

Yes, I'm very excited about the Lifeproof case. They've never done a case for any phone besides the iPhone and Galaxy S series.

I hate Vzw and Otterbox for bringing out the droid turbo case for day 1 (for a phone on a single carrier) and refusing to bring one out for the Nexus 6 (on all carriers). Sadly, this does make me more likely to get a droid turbo even though I think it's kinda ugly.

That's the advantage of real carrier support. Verizon is probably Otterbox's biggest customer so they have the leverage to get Otterbox to make a case for their beloved Droid series. Obviously, they're more interested in getting accessories for an exclusive before another device.

I've used several otterboxes in the past on various devices and I'm just bored of their styling now. A case is a case, but be a bit more innovative with the design in my opinion. I'm currently still digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid in blue I've got for my Note 3, might lean towards spigen again if they come out with something for the turbo. The lifeproof is okay, but the screen smears would bug me too much and I much prefer a glass screen protector so that's also out of the question then. Decisions....

I was actually surprised how many cases they had available. I went ahead and ordered a incipio dual pro case with the phone. It is nice having choices at launch.

Did anyone grab the Incipio DualPro case from Verizon? If so does it fit the Ballistic Nylon version and how is it?
Thanks

I'm using the case from verizon with the kickstand and belt clip. Never use the belt clip but its a thin case and the kickstand is really handy. Had the same styled case for my MaxxHD and loved it

I bought the incipio dual pro with my Ballistic Nylon. Fits great, not to tight and not to loose. I have used multiple dual pros before but usally return because they atract lint like no other. It seems like they changed the composition of the soft rubber and it no longer atracts lint. Over all Iike it and its a good heavy duty case.
