I just recently bought this same case, and it's excellent. Outstanding quality, looks and feels great, fits perfectly (many TPU cases I tried have really lousy fit), comes with a decent screen protector, and is very inexpensive ("cheap" usually has a bad connotation that doesn't apply here). :) Highly recommended!

Too bad I won't be using it, as I am putting my phone up for sale after buying SGS2 today...
[LG Optimus 2x] Hotmixtech:
Oops. Nvm.
[LG Optimus 2x] ciarpame:
Well, I was going to write about I'm satisfied of my TPU case and then I just bought the Momax case described few posts ago, it's gorgeous! It's no more shown on Momax site but it can be easily found on ebay for $10 free shipping
[LG Optimus 2x] blackinblue:

[LG Optimus 2x] ahnuc:
Very nice. :good:

Where you bay ?? ebay
[LG Optimus 2x] anthany11:
I have exact same case in navy blue, very nice case, love it.

search mercury optimus 2x on ebay.

If you buy it make sure you send the seller a message with what color you want. I forgot; luckily I ended up with blue
[LG Optimus 2x] michiel1995:
I have this really simple case, I'm happy with it, it is a bit anti slip, so it won't slip out of my hand easily, only con is it feels quite thick.
[LG Optimus 2x] M3n0:

I have now bought four of these from ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LG-OPTIMUS-2X...asesPouches&hash=item1c1a1f8735#ht_4096wt_905

They are absolutely great. And shipping is very fast from South Korea, around 5-6 days.
[LG Optimus 2x] SquiZoNes:
and where do I find that one for the LG 2X?

Edit: just looked on their website, sadly there is no case for the 2X yet -.-
[LG Optimus 2x] c19932:
it is only available from the sgpstore.co.kr. (korean website) I got one from a seller from korea, and I think he will start selling it soon in ebay
[LG Optimus 2x] SquiZoNes:
thanks a lot for that info. Cant wait to see that one pop up on ebay, thats exactly what I am searching for!
[LG Optimus 2x] baz2point0:
I have the official LG one - bought from Expansys - £20 is perhaps a little steep, but it's nice to to have something that's genuinely made for the phone. I don't like the slip case types, as I inevitabely end up losing them or missing calls as I faff about trying to get the phone out or not having the phone in them at the critical moment. The kick stand is also sweet, although the one negative I'd say about the case is that it's made of a glossy plastic, which is actually rather more slippery than the phone. If you have butterfingers it might actually make you drop your phone! At least it should protect it once it reaches the floor though!

Funny story (for you guys, not me) - I only got my case yesterday - I got my 02X last Thursday... guess what I managed to do on Friday night? Yup, got out of car, didn't realize phone was in lap, woosh-bang... oh-no! Anyway, it survived, but an interesting bit of info for you all - the metalic band that runs round the phone is not very hard. It landed on one corner and sort of dented/deformed. It left little sharp bits sticking up which I had to file down with a nail file to stop it feeling horrible. And yes, taking a nail file to my less-than 36 hour old phone was just as painful as it sounds. Oh well, at least now I have an easy way to differentiate it from my GFs one, which arived today!

Moral of the story - get a case - doesn't matter which one, as soon as you get the phone!!!!
[LG Optimus 2x] c19932:
so sorry to hear that :( I would've been depressed for a week.

but hey, now that you've got a case. you can't see the dents/scratches anymore :)

think about it this way. a month or 2 later, you probably won't even care how your phone looks.
[LG Optimus 2x] Higgsy:
Ordered one of these as there is no sign of these TPU Gel cases from uk sellers as of yet, I had ordered one from G5-online.co.uk only to be told a week later they weren't in stock (rubbish!). Out of interest did you choose the express shipping or standard shipping option to get in in 5-6 days? They want £15 p+p for express shipping! So I have chosen standard (cheapskate lol)
[LG Optimus 2x] ritdaw:
I was actually looking at one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-LG-OPTIMU..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3a647a0438

I opted for the official one in the end (waiting for it to arrive) as the eBay one looks a bit odd :s Not many hard cases around at the moment.
[LG Optimus 2x] c19932:
good choice lol
[LG Optimus 2x] ozivillan:
i got one of the bumper cases Ritdaw posted the link to, it's on but as you can see in the ebay pictures it does not fit that well, tends to flare out a bit at the corners both top and bottom of the phone, not as snug a fit as i was hoping for, will do for now as it gives the phone a bit of bulk and makes handling the phone a bit safe, love the phone without a case but just need a bit of protection in case of mishaps
[LG Optimus 2x] olasz:
Would u believe me if i say that it happened the same to me???? a little dent on the bottom..just i had mine for less the 12 hours
[LG Optimus 2x] ilanad:
I'm holding out for an Otterbox, had one on our Nexus One's and personally don't think any better out there. Talked to Otterbox yesterday and they're working on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] chong81:
I've received the yellow TPU case from shimshop ebay. Using rubbing alcohol (70%), I managed to remove a large amount of the yellow paint from the inside of the case, exposing the underlying white color in some areas.

A friend of mine had a DesireHD stained permanently by a TPU case within a month, so I'm worried the same will happen to the O2X which also has the soft touch rubbery coating.

There's this other "Mercury" branded silicone case on ebay which looks similar to the simshop's version, but with more colors. Anyone tried them before?

[LG Optimus 2x] dk.z:
I got one of those:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Black-Silicon..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item5d2e3f1dc2

Not bad quality actually but a bit on the thick side. If you're after a pouch these are quite nice:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Deluxe-LG-Opt...ckets_Accessories_RL&var=&hash=item92afb35f0d

there's also the "Kangaroo" version where you can slip in your earphones.
[LG Optimus 2x] ritdaw:
Got my official case through today, it fits very nicely. My only criticism is that the back is a bit slippery, the back of the actual phone was always easy to hold onto.
[LG Optimus 2x] naszero:
Where can you get one of these Official cases in the US?
[LG Optimus 2x] ritdaw:
No idea, mine came from an Amazon seller.
[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
Just ordered the leather case from pdair.com. I really like the look on that case.

At least this enables me to keep the backplate removed so that I can pull the battery out easily when I need to.
[LG Optimus 2x] rori~:
Like this case very much..too bad it changes color after some time..
[LG Optimus 2x] emprize:
any unofficial case with kick stand been released?
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
Well, its so cheap that we can always order another one! Haha.

I have another in opaque white on the way.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
I'm currently waiting for this to turn up: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190525064366
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
Wow nice! Does it come in white?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Dunno, ask the seller ;)

Looking at their shop, they (TPU cases) come in translucent black, pink and purple.

There is this, though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CLEAR-SILICONE-CASE-LG-OPTIMUS-2X-LCD-GUARD-/190523475702
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
Nah, don't really like silicone. Kinda sticks to the insides of the pocket making it hard to pull out.

Anyway, some of the casings comes with an opening on the top left corner. Anyone knows what is it for?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
No idea, there is nothing there on the phone. However, looking closer at some of the pics on eBay, I reckon some are designed with removing a stylus in mind. A stylus that isn't there on retail models, but in their pictures, you can make out the lines where it is.

Don't blame you for not wanting silicon. Horrible, sticky, floppy crap :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Higgsy:
as mentioned earlier in the thread I ordered one of these:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/120697358133

Came in 5 days from Korea (to UK), and is nice/fits well, I've attached a couple of pics
[LG Optimus 2x] andeelym:
I am waiting for the exact same one, in white!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Looks like a decent one, shame it hides the spine though.

Yeah, those sub 0.5mm thick bits of film provide epic impact protection
[LG Optimus 2x] tamere22:
Got mine yesterday.

Seller said 2 or 3 weeks but got it in 5 days.

It's very nice, fits well. I'm a bit disappointed as I thought it would be more "gel" (not sure how to say it).

It's more rigid than what I thought.

But still, I think it's a good case.

Also I tried to remove the inside sticker, but it went very bad so I let it in. Then I saw on the ebay item that they say to NOT remove it :D
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
And here it is:

I like.

I really like the mesh type cases but this is as close as I could find... I can't stand those rubbery gel type cases, I find them too thick and too "grippy" on my pant pockets, etc..
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
@nathsgames looks cool, I'm a clumsy fool so probably doesnt give enough corner coverage for me.

I've just found and ordered this from amazon. On play.com as well but cheaper here. Will post pics once it has arrived

[LG Optimus 2x] mintjustin:
Just received my leather case in the mail. And what a case it is! It is really well made with lovely new leather smell to it :D

It was quite tight at first but after a few insert my phone now fits perfectly with no chance of slipping out.

[URL=http://img717.imageshack.us/i/img0007resizeresize.jpg/] [/URL]

It is a PDair Vertical Pouch Type. Costs 28 dollar so it's a bit on the expensive side compared to other cases out there. Worth every penny, though. Makes me really appreciate the phone more.

I found this case on amazon but ended up order directly from pdair.com for their free world wide shipping offer.
[LG Optimus 2x] rQvsnaps:
Just received one myself, fits nicely and seems good overall. Not the same quality as the casemate I had on my HD2, but considering that the total cost was £4.99 including delivery it is surprisingly good.
[LG Optimus 2x] Higgsy:
I removed mine used wd40 to get the sticky off, its kind of weird underneath, there is a bit thats like bare matt plastic, doesn't matter tho as this is covered by the phone

clear protective case

i also bought clear plastic one from amazon u.s.a. (ASIN: B004WG4WMK)

screen protector, on the other hand, i will have to look for another one, because it is damn hard to get rid of all the bubbles. i regret peeling off the one that phone came with. :confused:

I'm looking for a case made in neoprene (like wetsuit) for the O2X but I didn't anything yet.

Something like the one that was offered with the nexus one would be perfect ? Any idea :confused:

I purchased the one with additional screen protectors (only 1$ extra), I hope it will fit well because I didn't find any other neoprene case for this phone.

Perfect leather case for a perfect price!
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
That's not silicon, that's gel/TPU is a cross between silicon and hard plastic, basically.

Best of both worlds... I use a smoke grey one in that material (as shown in this thread).

I ordered this one since i didn't want to have a pouch:

ebay search: 330556122200

Still waiting for the product, but will post feedback here as soon as I get it :)

Nothing to lose with that price though...
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
That's the one I've got. You wont be disappointed :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Omega89:
Sweet that i chose correctly :) So much cheaper online than in Finland. Could easily pay up to 30€ when it evetually comes here...
[LG Optimus 2x] Televinken:
I'm also looking for a neoprene pouch för my wife's 2X. She wants it to have

a belt/waistband clip, and to cover all of the phone. I haven't been able to

find it yet, on eBay or elseware. They all come with one end open, & without

any clip at all. Anyone stumblin' over a good pouch, please give a heads-up.
[LG Optimus 2x] Omega89:
Could some Nokias beltpouch be fitting?

I mean they are more business oriented an thus may have more pouches of that kind. Just a suggestion...

Im still waiting for my phone to arrive but im looking to get something to protect my phone as well i ended up smashing the top part of my HD2 after 16months(so unlucky... 18month contract rofl) at the minute im actually thinking of a leather case with the flip part so i dont have to take it out but that depends on how much it adds to the overall size!

Can anyone recommend some leather ones? Im looking at this one at the minute http://www.amazon.co.uk/PDair-Black...OS/ref=sr_1_37?ie=UTF8&qid=1305509854&sr=8-37

Also ive had a look at the Hard LG case with kick stand, theres hardly any pictures of it and i dont want to pay £15+ to find it looks horrid so id appreciate if anyone who has that case would post some photos of it on its own and on the device? Any shots are appreciated!
[LG Optimus 2x] Televinken:
I have a Dell Streak myself, & I purchased from here.

You design the case, and they manufacture it.

I'm totally satisfied. Strong but soft leather,

perfect snug fit, & very elegant looks.

Costs a few bucks, but worth it.
[LG Optimus 2x] Triage1:
Im using this bag:
[LG Optimus 2x] JoyBoy06:
The price is okay but the shipping fees are really high if you don't live in US... 35$ :(
[LG Optimus 2x] Televinken:
What do you mean??? Shipping is included in the sale price....:confused:

At least I paid nuthin' at all, and I live in Sweden....

:eek:
[LG Optimus 2x] Omega89:
The verdict: In general I'm very satisfied.

The cover feels and looks like high quality. The only complaint I have is that the inside edges are sharp and because the edges give a bit this results in my screenprotector pealing off. And if you decide to get this case get it as clear, not "black" which is in reality grey...
[LG Optimus 2x] jivemaster:
I got the official case for the 2x yesterday and I must say I am very disappointed.

It's black and glossy, so gets grubby extremely easy. The kick stand is nice, but the case is so glossy that you cannot use the phone without it skating around your table or desk. There is no grip in the case or the kickstand. Really puzzling. The only thing it would be any good for is watching movies. Any time you reach for the phone to push volume or power, it'll skate.

If you want to use this on your desk to keep your phone in an accessible position, forget it, unless you have it wedged up against another object to stop it skating.

Lastly, the plastic seam which circles the entire outside of the case connecting the pieces of plastic together slightly protrude, making the case slightly sharp to touch and making it uncomfortable to hold. The cutout for the volume buttons is sharp and uncomfortable as well. It should have had a silicone interior covering the buttons and a seamless finish.

I was way excited about this case but after using it, overall it's a total let down. If you're considering a case I recommend looking elsewhere. Considering the build quality of the phone is excellent, I can't understand why an official case from the same manufacturer isn't equally as good.

Krusell hector black negro XL :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
This turned up, but I got a refund.

The colour was more pink than red, it fit poorly and was made of an extremely slippery surface that was very hard to hold.

$18 on Ebay is premium money and it was not a premium product sadly enough.

Does anyone else know of any hard back clip on type case? I especially love the mesh type back covers.

Thanks.

brown leather wallet

Hello, I'm new here. Which means I have yet to gain permission to give you a link to my phone case.

I bought it on Ebay and paid £27.60 plus £3.01 postage. It took a fortnight to arrive from South Korea.

It is the "Pleomax Bery.N Optimus 2x Leather Case" (yes, made by Samsung).

Lovely looking warm brown leather opens like a book revealing the screen and half a wallet. Three credit card slots and another couple of slim pockets, one of which is transparent thus ideal for a photo, form the cover-inner. Therefore a fairly tough screen protection - against knocks (I use a Zagg screen and body film as well).

Workmanship is superb. Remarkably precise stitching and glued panels truly impress.

Protection/accessibility-compromise, I think, leaves only the top of the phone a little too exposed but allows all handset functions to be used.

The Ebay listing is titled: "NEW BROWN LG OPTIMUS 2X P990 LEATHER WALLET CASE COVER"
[LG Optimus 2x] cagra:
Just received them. It's not a high end case, but that was not to be expected. You can feel a slight ridge were the two parts are joined, and some small imperfections in the color. Nothing bad though.

Protection seems okay, but top and bottom can be damaged, if it lands in a few unlucky angles.

But for the prices it is a great choice

After less than 24 hours though, the silky finish on the blue case is starting to peel at the corners. The white seems to be made from solid white plastic, so I guess it's not prone to that problem.
[LG Optimus 2x] IversGarn:
Just got a momax icase pro for my o2x, fully covers and protects the phone and fits the device perfectly, comes with a premium price tag though.

momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1436&T=1

Pros:

Full protection

Fits perfectly

Looks good

Covers all 3 buttons and retains or even enhances the tactile feel of pressing

Combination of TPU(sides) and PC(base) plastic feels good when held in hand.

Cons:

Glossy TPU plastic sides acts as fingerprint magnet

Matt hard PC plastic base reduces friction and slides of hard surfaces easily.

Unable to connect well to stock LG USB cable, though it can still be done.(easily disconnects due to the extra thickness now in between the phone and the connector's plastic housing)

Premium price tag - SGD 30+

just my $0.02
[LG Optimus 2x] RichJo86:
How good is the screenprotector you got with the momax icase pro? Does it stick on the curved edges?
[LG Optimus 2x] Escobarretje:
Just got my SGP Ultra Silke case ( http://www.sgpstore.co.kr/shop/deta...ttp://www.sgpstore.co.kr/shop/big_section.php ) it's looking good!!

Ordered it via a ebay member called 'sgpcraft' for $12 including shiipping to the netherlands. Pro is that it also includes a screen protector :) It's Matte black, with an anti-fingerprint coating!
[LG Optimus 2x] IversGarn:
I have seen numerous protectors matt or glossy all, all does not cover the curved sides of the phone. Fits nicely up to the band of the curve though.

Was told that its almost impossible to make them stick well if they include the curved sides area.
[LG Optimus 2x] nathsgames:
I just got my 8 cases for $13 and I'm very happy with them. Good build quality, great fit and nice hard protection.
