I was disappointed when my Otterbox broke after only about 3 months, but all I did was send them an E-mail saying what happened and they sent me a new one with no cost to me.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] d_gkal:
can you post links for the cases?
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kyleds:
I ended up getting the otterbox and i'm lovin' it.

Fishbone case on amazon ftw!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kingston73:
It's all personal preference, but I had the otterbox and didn't like it. The outside is all plastic, makes it slide more and less comfortable to hold. After trying a couple I finally decided I liked the tmobile gel case the best. It's like the otterbox turned inside out, there's a hard rubber on the outside with a rigid plastic frame inside. It actually makes the volume and power buttons easier to use, and covers better than the body glove case you're thinking of. Plus it's cheaper than the otterbox.

I saw the gel cases in the store the other day and was thinking about buying one, but I didn't since I already have an otterbox case
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] shadow run:
I have an otterbox and i like it, but i must be careful while removing the case because it can make my phone scratched
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Mpower3d:
OTTERBOX! I love mine.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] jgummeson:
I got this one from Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0045EI356/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

It's like a rubberized plastic so it has a rugged feel to it and it grips really well. Only complaint is that you don't have as much space around the trackpad so you can't use it as easily. Not bad for 3 bucks though.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Shinfang:
Bought an otterbox awhile ago. The quality is quite nice, but you'll have to be careful if you're removing it from your phone, already got quite big cracks v.v
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] foefur:
I've got the Otterbox and saved my DZ twice now when I dropped it
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] extrahalo:
otterbox really looks nice
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kierren:
Otterbox has superior quality compared to Body Glove. All the Body Glove products I have purchased work well, but fall apart within months. I don't think it's too much to ask that a piece of plastic and rubber hold up in my pocket and on my desk for a couple years. Plus you can get the Commuter series on amazon for $25 right now! You could easily spend $20 on a garbage piece of injection molded hard plastic at a mall kiosk.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] killj0y:
The fishbone Amazon case has held up well for over 6 months and I have dropped it several times. On concrete! Zero damage can't even see damage to the case. It is 3 pieces, silicone inside on the back with rubberized semi hard plastic on the front and a skeleton rubberized plastic on the back. Never comes off except when I want it too. And no broken tabs despite repeated removals. definitely recommend!
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] G1ForFun:
OtterBox Commuter can be had on ebay for $20 - $25 shipped. The warranty is awesome...they sent me a new one no questions asked when my front piece stopped staying on my phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] ohgood:
ebay for cases, after buying 3 cases of 'garbage piece of IM' the wife has trashed two of them, i'm still on my first. $0.99 with shipping each is what it should be.

negatives:

the rubberized coating starts to wear off (wear, not flake) after 6 months or so.

the phone feels big (all cases)

positives:

it's cheap

looks like an ollllld unattractive phone until the screen turns on (thieves)
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] diagramatics:
I have a Capdase clear white case, but I broke the top part so my phone looks like it's wearing only pants.

The body glove one seems nice. Not sure with OtterBox though, it looks kinda bulky.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] papabear:
Otterbox does not make cases for them anymore. Yes, they can be had on amazon, ebay, etc. But since they do not make them anymore, you will have to get a different case if it has to be warranty'd. Great case tho.

How I found out htey do not make the cases anymore is that I bought a used G2 that came with an Otterbox Commuter case and the clips that hold the front of the case on were broken. PO contacted Otterbox about replacement and said they did not make them anymore. So if it breaks you can get any other Otterbox case that costs the same or less (34.95, I believe). I opted for one of the waterproof cases since I travel alot.

Luckily I found someone with a NIB case for cheap so I can rock the complete case .
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nitemare3219:
They do make other cases for the G2 though, correct? I just ordered an Otterbox on eBay the other day and it gets here tomorrow. If it breaks, I don't want to have to replace it with a case for a phone that won't fit mine!

I've had the clear plastic $3 or so case from eBay on my phone for about a year now. It's scratched to hell and there are a few clips broken, but it stays on just fine. I had the black one too and I was going to throw it on instead, but it's gone. I ended up getting the Otterbox because of this. If I remember to, I'll post back later telling of my thoughts between the two and whether or not it was worth the $23 I spent on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Update:

I got my Otterbox today. It definitely offers a much higher level of protection than my last case (it was 10x more expensive! I'd hope it would :D). The overall build quality is amazing, and it could not have been engineered any more perfect for the phone. Since I was using the clear plastic case before, this one is actually less slippery. As an added plus, it even still fits inside my G1 body glove (barely :o).

I did not use their screen protector though. I bought a $15 one from Germany (protectionfilms24) several months ago that I feel fits the screen better. I'll save the other one as a backup. Though, this screen protector I have on now has several large scratch blemishes that just randomly appeared one day, so that is a bit disappointing. I may end up replacing it soon because of that.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] kuroshiox:
I have gone through 2 body glove cases for my G2. The little clips on the sides constantly break.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rmcsc:
Same happens with the Otterbox. Sadly.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Lookin4Trouble:
Absolutely no question for _me_ - Otterbox. Recently upgraded to a Captivate Glide but no Otterbox for that yet.

However, the question really is up to you - do you want something that gives your phone the best protection against drops/etc? Or do you not want to add much bulk? Body Glove cases tend to be slimmer/smaller/less bulk added, but I wouldn't dream of dropping my shiney new precious if it was in one of their cases...

HTH
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] mputtr:
i had the otterbox and those damn clips broke off after removing it about 8 or 10 times....

i just said screw it and got the sticker/skin thing and kept it at the smaller size
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] rmcsc:
I actually had three Otterbox cases (one bought, two warranty) for that same reason. I've also had two Body Glove cases and a clear case (the one with stand from T-Mobile). I can't find any more cases locally, so phone is now on the nude. I had forgotten how incredibly thin it feels compared to having the Defender!
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jteee:
Back in April when I got my Shift, there were two ways to root, Visionary and Z4 Root. Both were able to temp root my phone, but couldn't perm root it.

Read the multiple ways to root through the guides in this forum and still had problems perm rooting due to mismatched md5 sums, I guess.

After looking around I was able to find a computer program that rooted my phone with 1 click, and I've been playing with everything and learning a bunch of new stuff everyday.

My question is, recently I've been introduced to this forum again, and I haven't seen any references to this 1 click program. Now I wish I remembered what it called.

Has anyone else used a 1 click program to root thier phones?

Thanks.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
Install a diffrent browser.

I prefer miren browser. It has a option to apear as a desktop and loads everything you throw at it.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I will try it. I was hoping to keep the stock and fix this stupid problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
You can still keep the stock browser. Just have a second one for those times when you need to appear as a desktop. In the end though, the stock browser sucks :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ranger093:
The stock browser is GPU accelerated, so is opera mobile. No other browser is GPU accelerated and sites like XDA absolutely CHUG on Miren/Dolphin........
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skandranon314:
I don't know if this is true or not. I looked around the market for a bit and found no info.

It has been awhile, but I tried all the major browsers. I found Dolphin, Opera, and most others to be sub par. Miren is the fastest one I have used. It is easily as fast as any other, or faster in my personal experience. Added to that, almost every flash based site I find myself visiting, works. Win in my book.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Vegasrich:
Opera is the fastest for me as well
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdszoke:
According to anandtech the stock browser on the epic touch is optimized on the back end. It uses the same tricks that safari uses on the ipad 2. But, Samsung found a way to do it better. So technically the stock browser on the epic touch is way better than the stock browser on other Android phone. Anandtech got real technical with their in depth review. I suggest you check it out.

Note: I'm not 100% sure if the review I refer to was anandtech.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jmlott:
Weird. I've always done it through about:debug and then the settings menu but I just tried and the user agent option is missing. I can't imagine why they would have removed it entirely.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dschachm:
I tried some of the other browsers and the stock is just better. It is faster, more responsive, smoother with scrolling and zooming. I just wish there was a way to get it to go non-mobile!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] njfoses:
Its not removed, you have to type about:useragent to change it. It will not stick though once you exit the browser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
This is a Touchwiz thing. G-Tab 10.1 had the same problem after TW update. There's a mod in the G-Tab forum that allows about:useragent desktop mode to stick. Hopefully we can get some love....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Ran a ton of site download tests and boat browser mini was fastest of all of them....including stock...(actually it virtually tied stock on the 15 site test I did).

However: NONE of the browsers display desktop pages on key sites (nytimes, engadget,gizmodo etc) regardless of the useragent setting on the Epic Touch.

Stupidass Sprint-Samsung.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 12MaNy:
Yes they do...if you set useragent to desktop. However, it reverts back to mobile when you close browser.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rockky:
Yeah that's what I meant...close browser: have to keep entering. Nobody for me. Hoping for a good hack!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sheek360:
I recently purchased the nexus s 4g and I'm still within my 30 days. I'd like to swap it for the photon but I've been reading up on this sleep of death thing. My question is, before I make the plunge; did the last update fix the sleep of death? Also hows battery life compared to the nexus s 4g? Finally, Motorola has always been known to produce strong internal attenaes, how'd they do on the photon? Particularly the wimax radio.

Its either the photon or the galaxy epic touch. I like it epic touch but it feels so cheap!!!

I mean really blue? you cant make an element on the UI a dominant color like that lol. I am running Alien and dealing with the annoying update window for now. I love the service with this phone. 3G Data is actually worth something. Instead of the crappy antennas used in the Epic. My data speeds went from 200kbps to 600-700kbps in the same location. AWESOME!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Larbo:
As for the 4G- I've seen the highest download bandwidth on any phone I owned, in my area, with the Photon.

I've got close to 12mb, where as my other phones, including the E3D, couldn't touch double digits. (Outdoors of course.)

Working well on the X10 and I gotta say I like it.

Something new to play with so have fun!:D

Information from Sydicateapps:

"

We built this launcher based off the leaked screen shots of 2.4.

But unfortunately there is not enough information or leaks about ICS, so you may find the launcher incomplete or empty!

BUT don't worry, as more info and screenshots come out we will update the launcher to make it feel more like the real ICS. But in till then, this is maybe as close as you will get!

You may notice in the launcher that some of it feels like Honeycomb, but that is because we built the launcher from our Honeycomb Launcher. We used the Running Apps menu for the launcher since we don't know what the ICS running apps menu really looks like."

They gave an "update" and now they've washed their hands of it. Don't expect anything further.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xenolance:
I hate to admit it, but yeah. Not a peep has been said about this thing since then. It's about 85% as good as it should be though. not sure how comfortable people are when asked to live with something that is only 85% there... I have one of the "good ones" and get decent battery life of over 24Hr and only the occasional instance where it shuts down and needs a battery pull.

The Stock tweaked OTA is pretty nice though and with some more tweaking it ends up being, at least for me, the most stable and reliable Rom.

dang you get that much battery life?? im on evil's and i could barley hit 6.4 hours without it dying if im doing anything on the phone besides texting .. if just texting all day n lil things like calls (no games or websites or nothing) i get a good 15 hours .. is that my phone issue or software or usage cause my phones doesn't do anything bad like shut off n stuff after like 150 hours of uptime it starts lagging so i just restart it but thats it . . . .but yea i guess i shouldn't expect much but thats a real ****ty way to conduct business =/

I have to say i've been pretty pleased with this phone. The first smartphone I had was the Blackberry Curve 8900...TERRIBLE experience. I walked into the T-Mobile store just to see how much longer I had left on my contract before I could upgrade. The rep looked at my contract and said "how does today sound?" I turned toward the G2x and said "...that one."

Being the tech guy I am (mainly computers) I had obviously done extensive research and already had the G2x in mind, but wasn't expecting to walk out the store with it. Despite hearing the negative reviews about boot looping, I took and chance.....and glad I did.

I've had this phone for a couple days now and I gotta say...I love it. Gonna root it tonight (fingers crossed...never rooted a phone before) but if I end up not being able to do it, it'll be ok. It's still a kick-ass phone :P
