Hmmmm. Very interesting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pierre-Card...1&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=171853986960&rt=nc
Nice comparable price if they are any good.

it wouldn't surprise me if it was real leather. It's not going to be high grade leather at all.
And that's a case that fits over an existing plastic back?
They should make a slightly bigger case that fits over the leather back, so you can have leather on your leather when you want to lather your leather.
I just got one last week. The leather looks pretty real to me. The one BIG problem with it is that it only covers the sides of the phone and not the top and bottom. But beyond that, it doesn't maintain a very good grip on the phone. That is to say, it's way too easy to take the cover off by just tugging on a side ever so slightly. I dropped the phone once (on a mat at the gym) and cover basically flew right off. Had it been concrete, my phone would be a mess. With that said, it does feel good in the hand, and with the exception of the loose grip on the phone, I think it's pretty well made.
Using it. Not as slick looking as the original leather back, but provides quite a nice and good grip.

So it looks and feels good, but not very functional (since it flies off the phone with low height drop)
Thats too bad, the brown one looks real slick versus the overpriced stock backing from LG

Not real leather but just fantastic for the price. Functionwise it is similar with yours. BTW I was also looking for yours but I dont like the red stitching.

Very very cheap that is. Good deal.
I liked the orange stitching. It was slightly different.
It's a bit like the stitching on jeans
They both look nice but I don't like the minimum protection on any of the sides. My Zenus case covers all the sides more, although not completely.

True
90 % of drops will be on the corners or the face I reckon.
Advantage of the OP style is that there is limited bulk added on the side.
After musing over the various cases available for the G2, I finally settled for the Body Glove DropSuit phone case. Ordered mine over eBay and after using it for a bit - here's my brief review. The case feels like hard rubber and is odorless. The black on black really gives my G2 a sleek-cool-edgy look, which was what I was looking for.
The front of the case is only slightly raised without covering the phone's bezel so as to maintain the G2's gorgeous screen area. It allows me to place the phone face down without resting on the screen.

The Body Glove case fits snugly and doesn't add too much weight or bulk considering the protection it offers. If you're one who likes to use the phone with one hand - like me - the case bumper's provides a great grippy feel.
The case gave some decent protection when I accidentally knocked my phone to the hard tiles from my workstation. I think the corner bumpers really helped cushion the impact. Overall, for the price I paid, its really a great value product.
This is my favorite case. I buy it for every phone I get. I'm dying on the inside because they are not making this for the Verizon version

How does the Body Glove Dropsuit's weight compare to that of the TPU cases (e.g. Diztronic, TUDIA)?
Thanks
with this case phone looks is realy ugly))
how does the natural leather feel? does it scratch easy? i heard the natural is most prone to scratching compared to cognac, black, and the other leathers. does the natural scratch as bad as this?

My back is black leather, not natural, it came from the box already scratched but that's the beauty of leather, especially natural leather that scratches give it character, not ugliness
btw we can't see your image
If your worried about imperfections then don't get leather. I have navy blue leather and it had little nicks right out of the box. Scratches and nicks are going to happen unless you use a case.
My natural leather back is beautiful. If there are scratches or flaws, I don't notice them, and I'm not the type to obsess over it and scrutinize it closely looking for normal wear signs.
No case on mine.

i've had my black leather back for as long as the phones been out and its pretty much in pristine condition. There have been a few times where I've scratched it but all i did was condition it, add black leather polish, and polish it as i would for a shoe and it is about as good as new. I'd imagine that for the natural leather back you could apply some oils to it to give it a nice color and mask some scratches. It is grippy enough for me and definitely more grippy than metal
Over time you see only the most recent scuffs. The older scuffs just get buffed out over time.
I got the Verus LG G4 Case Verge Extra Slim Hybrid Case with same day shipping on Amazon to have it ready for my G4.
Goods: Case fit really good and the gold one I got look really nice and elegant. Comes in other styles too.
Cons: For me, it was somewhat slippery and I almost dropped the G4 a few times. Not as slippery probably as a gell back though. But too risky for my liking with such a big and expensive phone. I'm exploring other options now.
But overall its a great looking case if you want something that looks stylish.

Nice case and thanks for the pictures.
I almost opted for the case when it was on slickdeals but decided against the bulk. Phone barely fits in my work slacks as it is. I may still grab one though since they look so good.

The case looks way better in person and it did fit in my pocket ok.
Melko KUBALT Double Layer Pro Case
Polycarbonate plus Silicon
Just got the case. It feels good and sturdy. Surprising slim. I think it will protect my phone well. I love the look, it goes beautifully with my LG G4. The case is sturdy, fits like a glove, never loosens up or becomes all crappy looking. The texture on the back is very grippy but not abrasive.
I used this with a tempered glass screen protector and the fit is very nice. And most importantly its wireless qi charging compatible. Its charging nicely on my LG WCD-100.
Installation: lt easy to install and remove.
Grip or Feel:* Its has nice polycarbonate material touch and very grippy.
Protections: Double layer protection. Made of durable & advanced material. Help to prevent scratches. It comes with screen protector.
Appearance:
Stylish finishing,making this case look more beautiful. Many colors combination to choose from.

Thanks for the review. Nice looking case. How long have you had it? Living in Canada, I find it difficult to find sources for things like this unless it's on Amazon, but I'll certainly consider it. I notice most places I've found say it's for the Optimus LG G4. Wonder if that, in fact, is the same as the plain LG G4. Have not heard it called "Optimus".
