I've been looking all over for the Belkin Surround bumper case and have not found a single retailer who has one. Does anyone know where I can get one or where I can get a similar bumper-style case? I can't believe they are this hard to find.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yewai:
try to set alert on eBay, that is how I found mine, it is on the way, very exciting!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dcarr622:
What's weird is eBay won't let me save the search unless I go to the Completed Listings view...but I don't want that :/
[AT&T LG Optimus G] yewai:
looks like it is in stock now on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Surround-Layer-Bumper-Optimus/dp/B00AAZ7O3Q/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
It won't, but to be realistic, no case will protect your phone from a screen drop. You either have to be lucky or learn to use your foot.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
No it doesn't have a large lip. Generally speaking most TPU cases don't. I recommend the Ventev or Amzer case in the OP if you want Otterbox type of protection.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
It has a lip. If the phone fell flat onto a flat surface, the screen won't hit that surface. You can also set the phone face down and not worry about the screen making contact. The lip seems just small enough to not interfere with edge to edge touch screen control. It's just small enough to not push up screen protectors.

On an aside, I tried my phone with no case for a few hours last night. It's far too slippery. It wouldn't survive a single work day.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Wolfman88:
Hey all im looking for a decent heavy duty case for my e970.. and i was looking for some feed back i currently have reiko dual layer case for it but its very squished and it really looks poorly... i was hoping some of the more knowledgeable folks here could point me in the right direction... btw im a heavy truck mechanic might be useful info for recommendations.. Thanks :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hydrogen3:
A rep at my local AT&T corporate store told me. New cases were being released August 1st.

I hope there good protection cases.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] xbutchx:
Just bought this case off Amazon. Didn't see it listed anywhere in this thread so I thought I'd share.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EQ9Y1WE/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1378601917&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

Have to say I'm extremely impressed. Build quality is excellent, ships from TX and arrived in 3 days after order to East Coast. Best off all, with the orange rubber piece, the notification light is usable. It even has a built in kick stand without being bulky.

I'm not sure what all styles are available outside of camo, but this is a very well constructed case...worth looking at if you're after a good hybrid case.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] shag04:
Cool thanks
[AT&T LG Optimus G] pcexpress:
I have this case its great dixtronic got it on amazon 9.00 fits really good the only problem is it covers the notification light

Sent from my Optimus G using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Here is that picture. I'm sure it's more visible on the clear version.

The case is very nice quality for the price. The back is kinda easily scratched and it doesn't play well with Zagg full bodies. However, I am surprised by the button covers. They are very nice and easy to push.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
Are the patterns (on the back mostly) really obvious or subtle?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
On the smoke version because it's about the same color as the back of the phone its kinda hard to see. It's more visible in direct light. I imagine other colors are more visible.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] m2xtreme:
Thanks for the pic! The LED is suprisingly visible, I think I may have to buy one of these until the otterbox comes out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] moon_walker333:
Thanks for the review. I have found the same case selling for $6.95 from a different seller. Ordered one for me.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Optimus-...840024?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d37209258
[AT&T LG Optimus G] willtoskie:
I ordered one of these too. It looks like it has a decent lip on the front to protect from a front fall. Do you think it's a big enough gap to place upside down on a table?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Yeah there is a pretty good lip on the front. Not sure about fall protection but you can put it down on the table face down and not worry.

Well, it's supposedly available and in-stock, but they give no dimensions for it or mention if it'll fit the AT&T version. I submitted a Q&A to see if they have a version specific to the AT&T OG dimensions or if it's just the generic one that fits every OG BUT the AT&T one. I guess I'm not feeling the case love or optimism from anyone yet. :(
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Check the page again. It specifically states that it won't fit the AT&T version.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] WA_Bob:
I saw that this morning - They must have updated the page last night. It sounds like they got a bunch of calls from folks here and on other forums and realized they needed to update their page.

http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_82&products_id=325

Pictures are up for the diztronic. Sadly it's not like the Sprint case where you can see the notification light. Not sure why they copied the design of the nexus 4 instead. Design does look better though IMO.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] m2xtreme:
That kinda sucks. I bought this thinking I would be able to see the notification light. Oh well, it already shipped and isn't very expensive. Maybe I'll see if I can poke some holes around the power button to let the light shine through. I was planning to do this with the otterbox anyways, at least this is cheaper to experiment with. I suppose it makes more sense to have the button cover there...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] HyDRo1X:
Any silicone or tpus with the volume and power button cut out?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
I wish. I'm not sure why they all cover the buttons. Maybe they are easier to manufacture? Either way I'm on the look out too so I'll post if I find one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] streetsmart999:
I Ordered Diztronic TPU Case and it will be delivered today. I will post back how it feels etc tomorrow.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mittenman:
I should see mine mid-week, I hope. Hoping it's very slim and snug. I really don't like cases, but I think LG got it wrong when they heard "project butter". The butter is supposed to go on the inside, not the outside....
[AT&T LG Optimus G] streetsmart999:
Lol.. true.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MNDZA:
I just received my diztronic case. Perfect! Very good fit and nice and thin.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] tony_b1:
Got mine to and love it.... only thing I wish they would of left the power button open like they did on the sprint one but other than that it's a nice slim case and all the buttons work great.:)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Yeah I just got mine today and it's amazing. It's has a really smooth back that doesn't show any fingerprints. It has a thin profile but is still very protective. The buttons are easy to push and it's ZAGG friendly.

Only negative is, there is no way to see the notification light. I have given up on the LED though. Even when you can see it, with the delay and the angle it's like a solar eclipse. I just keep it off now.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] streetsmart999:
I got mine yesterday... and I like it. This is the only case which I liked as its slimfit. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] argolfermd:
Just ordered a Diztronic. Thanks for all of the info OP, and for the redemption code.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] m2xtreme:
Just got my Diztronic case today and I'm happy with it despite not being able to see the notification LED anymore. If only Diztronic would make a case for my Nexus 7 I'd be all set :fingers-crossed:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
No problem. Glad to help.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fun498:
Is there a way to cut out the part that covers the notification LED? Or would it wreck the case? I can't tell from any pictures. I'd like to buy this, but I still would like to see the LED.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
If you're careful you could cut out the power button and it probably wouldn't look bad. With that said, the power button still looks too small that if you cut it out it may still cover up the LED around the actual button. I'll attach a pic and you can check it out. You may be able to make it work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] m2xtreme:
I have been thinking about drilling a coupon of small holes around the power button, maybe 4-6 of them. I haven't gotten up the courage to try it yet tho.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Bababooey:
I want a flip cover case like the S3 has for when I go out and about,I found one a LG OEM Folio Case (CCF140AGCABK) for Optimus G.

However I can only find it on canadian sites,nothing in the states ?

Looks like a nice black minimal case from the one pic I have seen so far today.

Check it.

I hate covering this beauty up but do not want a re-run of my GS3 accident ...

;)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mbonus:
I saw that too, but I think it is only for the Canadian varieties. Not a fan of gorilla glass 2, I just broke my back glass. I went case-less on my captivate for over two years with multiple drops and no breakage. In fact one of those was a panic stop in my car and the face of the phone contacted my shifter directly with the glass and only resulted in a scuff. Gorilla glass 1 > gorilla glass 2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] 903tex:
I'm just going have to be extra careful cause I haven't found a case that doesn't look akward
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
I can confirm that the diztronic case on amazon is for the AT&T version. Fits perfect, much better than the silicone one I have been using for about a week.

Just received the diztronic and I'm very pleased with it, it feels really good.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jophess:
I've also got the Diztronic case and it feels very nice so far. I originally got for use with the universal GameKlip, but may have to buy another for every day use. I might try cutting the power button off of this one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Mramos860:
Looking For A Wallet Case

Anyone know of a Wallet case for the LG E970? I want to stop carrying my wallet cause all I use is 2 cards (ID & Debit). A Folio case like the one on the Canadian website r super nice and sexy but they dont have the card slots, and they only fit the International model ( I hate ATT for ****ing with the dimensions they ruin phones.) Even a TPU case with slots on the back would be awesome. U think we will ever get cool cases for this phone? I doubt it cause ATT had to make their model different. The worst part is ATT messed with he dimensions and had only 2 cases when the phone releases an ugly bumbper and a lame Body Glove which I bought and it looks like my phone is old and beat up because the case scratches easier than a bar of soap.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Fun498:
I got a blue body globe from AT&T and I cannot regiment it more. I'll post pictures if anybody is interesting. It makes the phone feel smooth and I actually prefer it to the naked phone. Only downside is I had to buy it along with a pink one for $35.

Cellairis Case with Kickstand

So, I had a Seidio Active Case with a Kickstand and loved the thing. Used the kickstand more than I had thought I would. I have been looking or another for my LGOG and today, a friend of mine at Cellairis at Perimeter Mall hooked me up. It's the first that I know of and here are a few pictures. Tight fit and not the Seidio quality bit it works and it protects the phone.

Looking to buy a case for my E970.

I am considering getting a case for my phone, and from the bunch of cases that you guys have listed I am sort of between the Blue Body Glove and the Smoke colored TPU Checkered case.

Has anyone tried or done a comparison the quality of them?

I seldom ever drop phones but I'd rather completely avoid the one off shot that the original poster had with his S3.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
My Diztronic came from amazon prime, and I like it. However, I have serious reservations about it's ability to protect the phone from a drop of 4-5 feet onto pavement. Does anyone have any experience in dropping it onto concrete, asphalt, hardwood floors, tile, ceramic tile, and things of that nature?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
Nope, I haven't dropped my phone once yet. *Knocks on wood*

The way I see it is, no matter what case you have, a drop onto hard floors is a death sentence for this phone. And if you get lucky and the front or back glass doesn't shatter, or the CPU breaks from impact, the cases job is just to make sure there are no scratches or dings on the back and corners. Most cases offer very little impact protection and since the glass is so fragile it doesn't really matter what case you have. My suggestion: Grip it like your life depends on it. If you see you phone heading towards the floor, use your foot. ;)

Heavy Duty Cover with Kickstand

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-LG-Opti...item5d3808f733 $16 - Unconfirmed

I Like the look of this case, because of the kick stand but dam it looks very very bulky! Im rocking the Body Glove Blue/Grey case from AT&T and it works great i have dropped it a few times and the case has gotten dinged up but the phone is fine. The Body Glvoe case provided excellent protection but I would like a case with a stand or a wallet case where i can store atleast 2 cards like my I.D. and Credit Card.

The e-bay seller, hc-power - multiple colors should be changed to confirmed.

This should be changed to confirmed - been following this thread for some time now & registered to let y'all know that I've ordered all of the translucent checkered colors & everyone of them fits perfectly. I get bored & like to change out the clothes on my phone, therefore I got all the colors. For the guys - you might like the blue, black, or red. I think they all look great. Have not ordered any of the solid colors but am sure that they will fit because the clearer ones do. On all of mine, the notification light can be seen which is nice so you can check to see when the phone is fully charged as the light goes out then.:)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
Dropped 3ft onto hardwood, no damage. It also has front and back realook protectors.

Just recieved the body glove hybrid case. It fits very nicely, the ports are cut perfectly, and it appears to very sturdy should I drop my phone. Came with pink and blue inserts for the inside, and the outside is all silver. Very nice compared to the ugly multi-colored ones I have seen.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rmreid12:
How bulky is the phone with that case?

I had looked at it previously but ended up with the Belkin bumper case which I returned (too bulky) and went with the Diztronic until something else comes out ......
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
It adds a little bit of bulk, but honestly it isn't uncomfortable.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DonMarek:
My White hc-power case just came in and it can now be confirmed to fit the e970!

All in all, a decent cheap case. Has openings for the camera and speaker in back, aswell as the micro-usb port and headphone jack. The best thing in my opinion though is that they left room for the micro-sd and sim which allows it to open perfectly fine. I'm always popping out the sd, so this is great. The Volume rocker feels nice, the only downside I have is that the lock screen button is very difficult to push, mainly because it isn't so much a button on the case as it is a nub sticking out, but I've gotten used to it. The front also has a decent lip, allowing you to put the phone down face first. All in all a good case for $7.

Pictures are attached aswell, but sorry for the terrible quality, had to use my old phones camera.
