Good cases for the VS980. - G2 Accessories

There are tons of cases out there, but the Verizon variant requires a different one. What cases are you vzw peeps using, and would you recommend it?

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for LG G2 (Verizon) highly recommended! Fits great and doesn't interfere with my screen protector.

And nope, I don't work for them, just really like this case!

I have to agree. I've gotten the "smoke" transparent gray Bugdroid Circuit on my white VS980 and it's perfect.

I actually wound up with both this week: the transparent "smoke" Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit, and the black Diztronic. The Diztronic has slight larger cutouts for the small round openings at the bottom, but otherwise the fit is nearly identical. The Diztronic is flat black, except for the lip that retains the phone - that part is glossy. I'll keep the Diztronic and probably use it when out and about on business...it looks the part. But for everyday use, I like the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit more. It's a great look on the phone, feels great to hold. You really can't go wrong with either. Just that one is a more formal, conservative look.

I just ordered the new PURE GEAR SLIMCASE. It looks promising. It's supposed to be the type of case I like. Two layers fused to make a one piece case. Like the speck and body glove cases. I'm curious to see it. I'll post pics. If someone else gets this sooner please post

I have the Diztronic and the Poetic black cases.
I like the Poetic much much more. It doesn't cheapen the look of the phone and actually enhances the look.
It doesn't cover the top & bottom but that makes it looks better.
The material is great and luxurious. I think LG should use such material in the 1st place.
My wife&daughter are using the Diztronic. Will change them out to Poetic or something better yet.

I have the incipio feather shine for mine and really like it.

Still waiting for Seidio to make a VS980 variant of their Surface case. Using the Incipio Feather until then.

Incipio Feather is awesome. Great quality. Great feel. Great durability. I won't buy another case. After going through tons and tons of cases for all my devices, I landed on Incipio being the best.

Diztronic TPU case

Anyone try this case yet? I've used them on my last 2-3 devices and I like how simple and thin they are but they do the job when I drop my phone

Your guess is right on as I searched for TPU being my preferred type of case.
Does this brand fit with the G2's international version?

I have one of these on my Verizon LG G2. The case adds just enough texture to take the slipperyness of the G2 away without being big bulky and obtrusive. You also cannot beat the price.

Same here, hoping to like it better than the Spigen Slim Armor. Less protection I assume but we'll see. May also try out the Ballistic

Just got one today also.... Replaced my Spigen slim armor. The case fits well but it's slightly loose on the bottom part. I've written to Diztronic to see if I got one that was defective. Keeping it on our mow... The Slim Armor was too bulky and heavy for me

I am on my second phone (diff phones) and have stuck with these cases (2nd case). Just had the scariest drop over the weekend was drunk and bored flipping my phone in the air, bounced off my motorcycles gas tank and onto the concrete in the garage...
pulled off the case, not a dent/scratch on her..
mine also has a slight bend at the bottom.. but no biggy.
This is currently the case I'm using now. I started with Diztronic tpu cases on my galaxy nexus and it always did well. Was never afraid to drop my phone. Decided to go with it again on my g2 . You can't go wrong with this slim case, especially for the price.

Searching for the thinnest case for Verizon G2.

Ok so I absolutely cannot stand the glossy back on this phone. I mean, it looks nice... if you never touch it. But man the smudges... its just terrible. That being said I am looking for a case, but only to get rid of that. I usually don't get cases because they add bulk, that is why I am in search of a super thin one. So, case suggestions for Verizon G2, hit me!

The Incipio Feather Shine is also great. I have been using it for almost a week now and have had multiple people tell me that they didn't even know a case was on the phone!
I like the diztronic case. It's probably not as thin as the feather, but it's really close plus it covers the top and the bottom. Fits really nice.

Can always sand the back cover (there's a thread somewhere) or get a skin if you don't want a case.
I have both the incipio feather and diztronic and the incipio is the better of the 2 imo but the diztronic will offer alittle more protection.

I just got the Incipio Feather Shine and it's too slippery for me. I had a Feather before and I liked the tackiness. I can't stand the Feather Shine. What's the best case that's tacky like the Feather and is slim and just barely covers the phone.
I just got my matte black Diztronic. I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's pretty grippy, too.

Poetic sand or poetic softouch. Makes the incision feather look like an otterbox. The sand is the perfect grip adder

Is there one that fits the international version (or Sprint/T-mobile version). Only see ones for AT&T on amazon?

I had a matte black TPU case for my HTC Inspire back in the day that I really liked, it was only like $5 too! I could never remember what brand it was though. I know it wasn't Diztronic (they have their logo on all their stuff right?), but when I searched for TPU cases for my GNex they looked closest to it.
Anyways yeah the TPU case I had was pretty thin, I think I am gonna try the Feather though and see how that goes. :fingers-crossed:

I have one, too. It covers the back and sides quite well, and easily slides in/out of my front pocket.

The Diztronic cases are TPU cases and like all TPU cases, adds a decent lip around the edges of the screen = nasty.
The Incipio Feather is the best slim case around. I have a feather case on my wife's iPhone, my old Gnex, and new G2. It is made up of top notch material that won't flake off the coating and is very durable.
I honestly can't recommend any other slim cases. And don't go for the Feather Shine or whatever... just the plain jane Feather. I got the Blue one from Verizon. They are like $18 on Amazon. Walmart also carries them. Pretty popular cases.

Also have the Matte Black for the VS980. I usually hate cases but this one is pretty thin and has a slight lip on the front to help keep the screen from resting on anything. I love the grip and the way the case feels and like most says it easily slides in/out of pockets.

They look exactly the same as the Feather (but cheaper).
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-case-Sand-Black/dp/B00ED2DVZ2
Poetic also uses cheaper chinese plastics compared to Incipio, so you get what you pay for.
Also that case is not specific to the Verizon model. It appears to a be overall generic LG G2 case because of the additional unused microphone hole found only on the AT&T. Also the cutouts won't match the Verizon's smaller buttons.

Incipio Dualpro Shine for the Flex

This is the case that I recommend to anyone with the Lg G Flex. Its the Dualpro Shine by incipio. This case fits so perfect on the flex. The curve is perfect, the cutouts are very precise and the case as a whole feels solid. The dualpro offers 2 layers of protection with the soft touch silicon insert and then the hard outer shell looks amazing with the brushed aluminum look. Well here are the pics enjoy!
I've got one coming from Amazon soon; thanks for the pix!:good:

Looks nice. Probably takes away the sexiness of the curve too. hehe I kind of like when people ask me is your phone curved. I'm like no I got mad and bent it. lol
Yup..... that's the one just about every at&t store carries. Got it for like 22bux after discount. Gr8 case, but I find myself using my amzer tpu case most, cause it (amzer) adds almost no bulk....
amazon had it for 16 bux, no tax and free shipping; glad I checked them first!
I dont get a discount at ATT, so I try to avoid them..

Slimmest case that protects

Hi, I'm buying a G2 and was browsing the cases that are available for it. I don't like any of them - they make the phone extremely ugly and bulky IMO. I like spigen cases, but they only have the slim armor, which is maybe the least ugly of all, but still would love to see something similar to the Hybrid Neo. Any idea if such a case actually exists (stylish and protective). I really like cases that provide good grip too.
Incipio Feather Shine?
Doubt it'll offer much protection though.
Have you seen the ringke slim yet? It's, like it's name implies, super slim, and has a nexus 5 feel.

5$ eBay leather pouch. Slim, protective, hassle free, still makes your phone not look like a 400$ brick. Take it out, use it, put it back in.
Most of the slim cases will give you protection to the back side at best, while screen, the most important part, stays unprotected.

Honestly, the dual pro as a pretty thin profile considering how much protection it offers. Slight increase in size but not an uncomfortable increase

After trying a few of the most popular cases on Amazon I ended on the Spigen SlimArmor. It's by far my favorite case for the G2 I've found. It's pretty slim, makes it feel and look premium with the metalish back, and protects the front with the little lip. I've dropped the phone a few times to and it seems to be doing a great job protecting it and the screen. Plus I really like the color. Everything I want and needed.
Only con I have found is the head phone port is really small and most plugs do not fit.
Still has my vote!

It' s gonna be the melody or dual pro. The spigen is interesting too, but i heard it won't help if you drop it on the front
How wide and thick is the slim armor ?

I cant find this case for the verzion version do u have a link?
I was huntig a slim case. And I mean slim like ultra super so I looked at skins and remembered that I had a roll of vinyl veneer lying around.
It is protective, not adding any bulk at all and looks quite good according to all who sees it.
Had a quickviewcase but its like dragging around a flappy brick and it´s not preserving the slim design of the phone.
The veneer is not lasercut with precision (used a sharp blade and a hairdryer) and it is a first attempt with what I had at home.
I cannot add links to pics
I use Poetic Palette. Real slim.First time holding it. Its so smooth, could slide of my hand, but overtime is good. I guess, i got used to it.:fingers-crossed:

The slim armor doesn't add much, but it is noticeable. I recently purchased the diztronic and while it is very slim, it's a complete POS. It doesn't even fit the phone properly, I can literally jiggle the phone around inside of the diztronic.
I like the Speck Candyshell. It's a little pricey but it fits great, has a nice low profile and makes the phone feel protected. I'm also rockin the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. It's very low profile & fits like a glove.

I would recommend to have a look at the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case. It protects the phone fantastic and and has a nice grip to hold the phone. Also there is a nice Android art at the back of the case.
Phone with that case doesn't look too bulky at all. For me it looks slim enough.

The cruizerlite is a safe bet I guess. What do you think about color - I have a white G2, so maybe the clear case will be the best.
Oh, and one more thing - I have the D802, but don't know what the differences are between sprint/t-mobile, AT&T and D802. I understand that Verizon version is completely different, but how about the others. What model sold in the US us similar to my D802

What cases do you guys have on your G4's? I'm yet to buy one and unsure which to buy.
I was looking at this one, anyone else got it? Any good?

There is no "best case". The best case is the one YOU like. You might want to look in the accessories section theres a ton of threads already http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories
That case is great. I got a spigen crystal clear slim case. Before phones were even officially announced. Fits over leather. And you can still see it.
Checked other forums but didn't see the Accessories forum, my bad. Thanks both!!

I don't usually keep a case on but felt the need to since I have no warranty nor can get insurance.
I have the black plastic back G4 BTW. It's sturdy, not heavy and believe it will protect from a drop. Fits my tempered glass screen protector. Leather feels premium, hopefully it lasts lol. Raised front lip is minimal and is a soft rubber, to hold in place when face down I guess?
I was gonna get the carbon fiber one but this red looked too much fun, like iron man lol

I have yet to encounter this issue so I can't say there's a trick to removing. I usually just start pulling it off from one of the corners and working my way to the next corner. Are you using a leather back?

I have the Spigen case that the OP linked to. Great case. Most Spigen's are. The only drawback to that case is that it takes the sexy back of the G4 and just makes it black. I currently have this one on my phone.

Looks and protects great but the hole for the buttons on the back is pretty deep so you really have to press your finger in there to get to the buttons.
Incipio DualPro here. Had one on my G2, figured just stick with the same here.
I just picked up a Case-Mate Naked Tough for my leather backed T-Mobile version. It seems durable and I like that it is transparent.
