You have lots of good covers on ebay, personally i rather

gel than silicone covers, a bit more rough that's a fact,

but real protective. The cut is impressive and you have

in various colors.

P.S Zagg is on sales on their page :D
[LG Optimus 2x] erups:
Here is mine from ebay.

It's nice, not silicone: it's sturdier and smoother, doesn't stick to fabric like silicon does.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Gel/TPU cases are the way forward IMO
[LG Optimus 2x] Piter1225:
Got this one few weeks ago:
[LG Optimus 2x] Balano:
How is the grip on the more expensive versus the cheap cases? Any feedback?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Mine cost three quid, and although it's quite shiny, it's not particularly slippery.
[LG Optimus 2x] Aricci:
I'm still looking for a nice looking carrying case.
[LG Optimus 2x] omiblack:

LG CCH-120 Kick Stand Hard Case - LG Optimus 2X

Very robust!
[LG Optimus 2x] torespen:
Haha... luckily my "thanks button" is not broken :)

One thanks to You for making me laugh realy hard with that comment :D

*applause*

[LG Optimus 2x] blindpet:
If this had a kickstand I'd def grab it, I'm guessing the belt thing is removable but does it leave a big nub on the case?

Edit: I read in the comments it has a different back if you don't want to use the clip thing and that it has a kickstand, nice.
[LG Optimus 2x] yoavtabakman:
i'm using that:

cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200607694005&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

pros:

good protection.

nice feeling in the hand.

cons:

battery hall harder to reach.

power button harder to press.
[LG Optimus 2x] rockerduck:
Nice one Piter, where did you buy it?
[LG Optimus 2x] Kag:
The body glove looks good especially with the clip

Anyone Singaporeans know any shop selling it?

Or wants to share some shipping from fomma.co.uk? >.<
[LG Optimus 2x] reverendhtc:
I'm using a silicone case produced by Momax. I bought it locally in Thailland at the same store I bought the phone. Cost 590Baht .. so thats about 12 GBP.

Had it for about a week and the case has not stretched and is good quality. It has nice molded side and power buttons rather than just a hole. Comes with a screen protector.

Looks like they have an online shop at momax dot net
[LG Optimus 2x] waynefox:
Ordered this one. Just waiting for it to arrive

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ph...us-s-accessories/buy/TECH21-NEXUS-S-SLIP-CASE

Ok it's for the Nexus S but every site i've looked on states there is only 0.2mm difference in size between that and the O2X

[Edit]

Received the case this morning and it's pretty good. Nice tight fit on the phone but not too tight

The top corners of the phone are Just slightly visible over the top of the case due to it being rounded off at the sides (probably to match the shape of the Nexus S), it's not enough to worry about though. Probably less than 0.5mm

I haven't tested the Impact protection side of it (don't fancy throwing my phone arround even if it does sometimes piss me off :-) )
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
anyone knows if this case is any good?

http://www.ricardo.ch/kaufen/handy-...mus-2x-p990-verschiedene-farben/v/an649008548
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
the black one seems just like the case im using, its not bad since it offers very good protection but the silicon is not enough tight on the edges on the front side, which makes the phone look a bit fatty - i mean the edges are not straight lines but with a small curve in them like () instead of II

well it was worth the 2 pounds i payed for it on ebay, it came with 5 screen protectors also

last weekend i came home drunk and i have ordered this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260791734147&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

it was only by next day afternoon i realised its fake aluminium and it wasnt even looking as good as it did while i was drunk :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
thanks a lot, i will buy a other case since i want it to really fit.
[LG Optimus 2x] meagain121:
After reading the whole thread and looking at all recommendations, I have decided to get this one:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/140565347242

Rubber and plastic combination, all corners covered, buttons for power and volume, screen protector and quite cheap (compared to the speccy brand).
[LG Optimus 2x] topanyel:
Avoid this product at all cost, I just received it yesterday and its extremely weak quality: the volume buttons are almost impossibile to press and the case is like cracking-rasping while using the phone..

Oh and dont shop on ebay after Saturday's parties.. ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Thanks for the warning. :D

I have one of those jelly cases by the way, and it kinda traps heat inside the phone. When playing games or charging on a warm day, the phone goes up to 41C to 44C. Is it the same for everyone? :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
I experienced the same. Now I use my fancy Mofi sleeve (lion). Looks real nice.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
Thanks for mentioning that. Kept checking case-mate.com every now and then, but didn't know case-mate.eu.com were the better place to look :)

I love the BarelyThere cases from Case-Mate and love it on my Nexus One.

You definitely saved me from buying some crap cases for my O2X as I did with my N1 before I found the BarelyThere case.
[LG Optimus 2x] m0bster:
I use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Golla-Mobile-Devices-Players-Cameras/dp/B0037CDRY4/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1310468766&sr=1-2

Bought it in pcworld sale, similar price to amazon. I actually like it, it has two pockets for my cread cards and headphones.
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
NP

Its been in "coming soon" mode for a while though, I wonder how they define "soon" at casemate. Until theyre ready for release I bought some cheap case from ebay. Not really comparable to casemates, but cheap - and better than no protection.
[LG Optimus 2x] Kelvino9:
Found it on Amazon Germany and UK, but haven't bought it yet as I couldn't wait and bought a cheap case from eBay too and still waiting for it.

I'm sure I will getr the Case-Mate very soon after the eBay case has arrived ;)

Here is the link

"Leather" Flip Case

I bought the Spider-Foot slim "leather" flip case.

Very happy with it.

Sorry I can't post the link, but as a noob, I am not allowed to post external links.

Just Google "Spider-Foot".
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
Just got my TPU case! One of the cheapest on eBay, only 3,99$ and free shipping :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/Soft-TPU-Gel-Ca...949660?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4158ef439c

Not bad and not too flashy! I like back of the phone, brown and metal and Google logo :) so wanted a simple and transparent one. This was as good as it gets, all of them have some textures.

Power button is a bit harder to press (maybe it will give with time) and sides are a bit flappy in the middle but so was on my ex phone. But it bulges above camera and screen so no more worries when putting it on table. Also got screen protector and small cleaning cloth. Cool.

Inviato dal mio Optimus 2X usando Tapatalk
[LG Optimus 2x] komedol:
Noob wants to share. I own three cases: original hard case O2X, transparent TPU case and silicon case, and I use the silicon case because it offers more protection than others (I put O2X on the pocket of my shirt, and both the hard case and TPU slide out of my pocket too easily when I bent down). Also, the silicon case protects all the buttons and side areas, whereas the hard case leaves the power button and volume button exposed and the TPU case, for a strange reason unknown to me, leaves top left part of the phone open so that area's exposed too.
[LG Optimus 2x] Dac0908:
That is for korean version with TV tuner, antenna is placed there.

Well my TPU is ok, can't complain really. Edges don't slip, everything is protected. There are numerous models and manufacturers, maybe you could try another cheap one :-)

[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Can someone recommend some case from ebay, please?

I have bought this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/270757387048?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp5197.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D270757387048%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 It looks nice, it fits nice, but when first time my phone was fall off the table the cogs who keeps two pieces of case together was broke. Sellers comment "You'll get the Quality you paid for." is not not so true obviously, lmao. So, now the case is in garbage.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I've had this one for five months roughly: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-GEL-CASE-LG-OPTIMUS-2X-/190525064366

It's cheap, good fit & looks pretty good, so yeah, I'd recommend it.
[LG Optimus 2x] MikuSE610:
Where can I find premium cases for the 2X?

The S2 has lots of cases. Like the MOMAX, SGP and such. While our 2x only has the generic ones *cheap but strong tpus*.
[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
Bought it, will see next week how it fits.

---------- Post added at 03:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

Quick search on ebay gave this:

Momax

SGP

Kick Stand

Case Mate

And I am sure, that there is others, too...

If they are original and worth that money, I don`t know, little expensive to me.
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
I've got the SGP Ultra Silke. It's nice, but saw that there is a little 'hole' in it right now. It's not thát good and I'm thinking about switching to a TPU. The cover is nice (no fingerprints and a good feel). It only isn't that sturdy!
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommmii:
These are my experiences sofar:

about 4 months ago I couldn't chose between Speck Candyhshell and Body Glove Flex. There was no Case-mate at the time.

I switched from 1 to the other every few days, to find out which one suits me best. After a week or so, the Body Glove turned out to be the nicer case.

Unfortunately it has a giant weakness. To pull the battery, you need to remove the front bezel of the 2-part case, not an easy procedure. Running Cyanogenmod on the phone, battery-pulls are necessary quite regularly. After about 3 months, removing the case twice per week (guesstimate), the front bezel finally cracked rendering the entire case useless.

I've now been using the Speck for a month. It adds too much bulk to the phone for my liking. The glossy hard shell collects micro-scratches and now nearly looks matte. But it is easier to remove from the phone. It is also sturdier, to render the case useless you'd need to run over it with a car :)

A broken pretty case (Body Glove) and a tough ugly mofo (Speck). Now there's finally a Case-Mate available, I 'm placing an order online hoping this will turn out to be the one!

To be continued...
[LG Optimus 2x] berni66:
Same for me... for the same reason...
[LG Optimus 2x] enigma00:
There are a few brand name (I guess you'd call them "premium") cases made for the OX2/GX2:

- Seidio Surface

- Trident Aegis

- Body Glove Snap-On

- Case Mate Barely There

- Speck CandyShell

My favorite is the Seidio Surface. It's fairly slim and provides good protection. It also looks good and doesn't get scratched like some of the cases.

You can buy most of them (maybe with the exception of the Case Mate) from amazon.com.
[LG Optimus 2x] huibuh0815:
Hi there,

I bought the following: LG-CCH-120 (Hard Case) by LG

Link: - can't post links through restriction - (pls look at amazon or ebay)

It's protecting the chassis very well - i accidentally dropped my phone out of 1 meter height to a concrete bottom and it still works :-)

Ok, the case has some scratches and now makes some noices when holding it tighter but the p990 still works and has no damage, *yay*

Cheers,

I've bought a Sena leather case. A friend is using one for his iPhone, and I'd like the idea to have a leather case, which fits exactly your phone. And hurray, they made one specially for the Optimus 2x !

http://www.senacases.com/lg-cases/optimus-2x/ultraslim/

It's a little expensive (30$ without shipping) but I had the chance to buy it with a promotion (24 bucks or something like that).

Again, really nice sleeve, very durable (2 years for my friend, and still as new looking). If you want photo or video, just call the shot !

I've bought a basic black gel case too on ebay for 2 or 3€, does the work great. But not as nice as the Sena, and you need to wear it everytime you're using your phone :p

Agreed! Mine has been case-less for a few days and I much prefer the weight and feel. I have nothing to worry about because I have never dropped a phone.

Well, OK; once or twice :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] alpha112:
I'm getting the same problem I think a lot of you are on CM7 with keyboards and menus being transparent after having the device on for a while. I fully expect it to be buggy so this isn't a complaint, just something I've noticed that's possibly useful.

I use Torrent-Fu to manage torrents and for some reason half of the time when I use the search featurethe keyboard will be transparent and half the time not. This isn't the unusual part.

The unusual part is that when the keyboard is transparent and I try to turn off the Hero the shutdown menu is also transparent. Then I can quit the program and everything is fine and dandy again. Of course after about 12 hours everything else starts to go transparent of its own accord and I have to reboot.

I just thought that may be of interest to someone and if someone else could verify then that would be awesome.

I'm on Nightly 36 without any overclock.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Papuass:
Actually, this should go to development forum, but YES, this is THE PROBLEM with CM7 on Hero - we need to wait forr Google guys or CM guys to fix it. It is actual on other devices, too, but our Hero has less graphics memory, so it suffers more often.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dmestriner:
I also have this bug from time to time. I thought it was a bug in android 2.3? Or was that the black-screen bug? (running elelinux ROM, which uses CM).
[Android Apps and Games] david1171:
Credits

CyanogenMod Team - Source for Protips

Despair, Inc. - All of the Demotivators in this mod.

Insomnia - Making me bored enough to do this.

Requirements

Possibly Root - I assume you have to be rooted since this is replacing a system app.

HDPI/MDPI Compatible

Android 1.5+ - I assume this because minSDKversion is set to 3 by default in AndroidManifest.xml.

Only supports English (res/values/arrays.xml).

About

Basically, I couldn't sleep and was bored and was thinking about how unused/useless the Protips widget is and wanted to make it a little bit more usable. I like to laugh; I like sarcasm and bad humor; I like Demotivators, so all this just sort of came together. I take no credit at all for these; I just put them into this mod. I included all of the Demotivators that I could; there were 7/8 that would not fit because of the length of them; they are pretty easy to find if you go to the site and look through them. Also, there are no pictures included with this because it would have decreased the amount of text I could include. If you have never seen/read any of the Demotivators, then I suggest you go to the site and at least look through all of them because some of them don't make a ton of sense without the picture, but I included those anyways because they make me laugh, and I know what the picture looks like regardless.

Screenshot

The app uses the stock images, this is just using my theme engine theme. Mainly just to give an idea of text.

Installation

ADB Install

adb install -r Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk

ADB Push

adb remount
adb push Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/Protips.apk

Install like a normal APK file (untested)

I changed the versionCode and versionName, so this should in theory be able to be installed from the sdcard like any other app, but is untested.

Place APK on sdcard, and install with file browser of choice.

ZIP File

Place file on sdcard and flash in recovery.

Usage

Longpress on homescreen, select widgets, select Demotivators, press widget to cycle, enjoy.

Download

HDPI APK File - http://bit.ly/gkuscw

HDPI ZIP File - http://bit.ly/igdKqO

Flash in recovery.

MDPI APK File - http://bit.ly/hZRNdl

MDPI ZIP File - http://bit.ly/i5YMdj

Flash in recovery.

Ending Notes

I hope you enjoy this and get some laughter out of it. I know I do, and it's much needed sometimes.

[Android Apps and Games] Jerommeke:

Anyone else having this issue?

[Android Apps and Games] mwaters33:
install failed

I tried to install using RootExplorer but was denied. Failed to install. Am going to continue trying and will edit post after I succeed.

EDIT: I finally got a free minute to try again and have successfully installed using terminal emulator and jrummy's Roottools market app. I had to use Roottools to mount system bc I can never remember the correct way to type it in terminal emulator. Here's my method :

1. Mount system with Roottools

2. Open Terminal Emulator and type the following:

su
cp /mnt/sdcard/download/Demotivators_HDPI-signed.apk /system/app/protips.apk
reboot

The widget will be in the list after booting back up.

NOTE: Your file may be in a different location and you will need to modify the command accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] JohnnyEpic:
Its not allowing me to install. Tells me to 'upgrade'. Its confusing it with protips. Rooted Epic, stock using Astro.
[Android Apps and Games] david1171:
After you install, does it have a widget named Demotivators in the widget selection menu or is it still home screen tips?

I put a .zip file to flash in recovery in the OP that you can try instead trying to install like a normal apk. I'm not sure of what the issue is.

This is just a modified version of Protips which is why it's trying to make you "upgrade" it.
[Android Apps and Games] zsld0423:
funny app

great way to replace that horrible Protips app lol. I just used Root Explorer, and went to the System/Apps folder. Just rename Protips.apk to Protips.bak (so you still have it) then just move the Demotivational app to System/Apps and rename it to Protips.apk. Then I just rebooted my phone, went to my widgets, and added it easily
