[T-Mobile LG G2x] TechFu:
Horizontal leather carrying case for Skinned G2x

My 2 cents... this is definitely a cheap case at $2.40 - $4. (it costs more for shipping via USPS LOL )it seems well built and should hold any G2x that has a TPU or Silicone skin on it. Heck for this price it was worth the gamble... size wise and build quality.

It has elastic on the sides so it should fit a larger skin like the Speck candy shell or whatever they will finally make from Seidio With the TPU skin i bought (see below) it fits just right and needed no “break in” period.

A major plus for those who will ask.... “Does it activate the Car mode when you take it out?” the answer is NO :) but only if you put it in face first...face out will activate it....every time. I tested it without the skin i got just to make sure.... and if you have it face first...no car mode activation. yeah i know one of the most annoying conveniences..that ends up being very inconvenient. LOL

White TPU skin-

My 2 cents...

It fits ok and is not too tight. easily slips on and off if you need a battery pull. Yeah i know it makes it look more Iphoneish...but i like the look of it and the white contrast very well with the black front. i live in South Florida and was looking for a white tpu skin to help reflect the Suns rays. i originally bought the Black “flex skin” from Tmobile, just to get something on it. lst Sat. at about 2pm (Sun at or almost the highest in the sky..so yes it was a hot time of the day) i was using my Gmaps with Nav and within 10 minutes (i am not exaggerating & i was running the A/C cold) i got a pop up saying something like “ battery to hot, shut down phone” (similar window you get when it says you have a 100% charge and too unplug phone) i did not hit ok, since i did not know where i was going.... so i just backed out of it and it seemed ok. I have used my N1 with Gmaps Nav about 75 times including long summer road trips about 4hrs at a time and it did get hot...but i have never seen that msg. before. Perhaps the N1 housing acted like a heat sink to deflect heat away from the device...where as most of the G2x is plastic.

Anyway, i am hoping the white case will help deflect some of the heat instead of absorb it, lke a black case would. I have only had it a few days, so we will see. Either way, it looks great. the “tread like”pattern of boxes makes it easy to grip. That one opening by the power button had me a little worried, but the the edges have a reinforced area so it would be very hard to drop it directly on that spot. All the opening s are fine. the Volume buttons, and power button are not covered like with most TPU skins. I fnd it much easier to use the volume and power button than the Tmo flex skin i had been using. No issues using micro usb or plugging in headset like i have heard compaints about the Speck Candyshell. However it does not have “super” drop protection other than that it fits well in the hand so it should not slip out too easily.
