[AT&T LG Optimus G] mikedenney:
Call Me a Ditz, But...[sic]

Well, add the name 'Diztronic' to the growing list of misogynistically-named tech items I use and--so far, put some faith in.

I like mine...rushed into buying two because my GF and I waited 'til Christmas to buy ourselves a pair of E970's (not our Christmas gifts to each other BTW...I could tell you, but then I'd have to...well...), FROM Best Buy, thus avoiding the 100% mark-up we'd have hit by naively walking into the local AT&T store (you should see the negative reviews--they don't even come up when you plug our zip into AT&T's main phone-buying engine!).

BB did upset me by pushing across a pair of ZAGG 'test strips' (because the 'children' at BB hadn't ever touched an E970--their SIM-copying machine didn't even have a proper firmware upgrade to do the job, so my guess is, these were their first two! AWWWWwww. Oh well--20 bucks wasted, because I walked in late to meet her there, and I was dumb enough to think the $100 deal had been contingent on the stupid ZAGGs.

ANYWAY...

I like these cases--here's 'why':

They were a necessity--I dropped my own phone before I even got out of the damn Best Buy, so I was already asking them if they had any 'Otterboxes' (thank God they didn't, right?)

Anyone else agree you basically should be able to palm a basketball to 'rest easy' you can properly handle one of these LG's? For me--SO!

Within one, solid week...I'd already SCRATCHED THE BACK OF THE PHONE by putting it in my pocket with my keys!

Turns out the Gorilla glass on the back of the phone was not the same 'grade' as the stuff on the front. Of course, this makes sense, but with 'any' talk of 'Gorilla' within the same 'body text' of talking about the 'make-up' of any smartphone, I kinda took it for granted that my keys wouldn't mar the back of the thing, for two big reasons: first, 'a certain other manufacturer's' recent lawsuit, and second...'GORILLA'!!!! Come on--don't Gorilla's 'mock keys'? I mean, wouldn't they eat keys for breakfast? Sure wouldn't scratch a nail on 'em.

<ahem>

Here's what I like about the 'Diztronic' case:

I'm a self-employed PC repairman--I addressed my 'incoming calls' issue years ago, and so I HATE ALL NOTIFICATIONS ('Youmail', 'eMail', my actual ringtone, 'Facebook'--I'm 'notified up' already...SO, I'll never miss that notification LED--EVER! (and yeeeessss, I do hope it burns in hell)

It makes it possible for me to hold the slippery $100 LG 'masterpiece' for the few seconds I need, without the obligatory 'whoopsie' moment (which happened more after I went home)

It looks solid--it doesn't look dumb, 'loud', flamboyant or flashy, glow-in-the-dark, or come in urban camo colors...I like Basic Black--if I could, I'd make it a proper noun.

it was CHEAP! Always a plus.

I found ours easily on Amazon, and shipping was either free, or minimal (I think, 'free', for the dumb 'SuperSaverShipping' crapola they 'pull')

It fits the phone PERFECTLY--I'm streaming stuff like Hulu, watching Youtube, uploading my own vids, and so....

It doesn't block anything else I use--the phone's LED flash works 'good as original' (leaving me still wondering 'why' AT&T dumbs-down every phone they will carry)

the molding, and all cut-outs, are perfect--the texture, perfect as well--I even liked the 'play' of the power and side volume buttons with this case 'on'

So, over all, after all my 'usual *****in', I'm very nearly happy with these cases (and so was my GF).

for the record, the 'other misogynistic names' I've grown to trust, involve PC security software (Who names an ANTIVIRUS after 'something a pirate might say'?)...I'm talking about 'Avast'...and also, 2nd-runner-up--'MalwareBytes' (sure it does, but why not call your stuff 'MalwareKee-ler!)

Spybot wasn't exactly well-named, either--these guys should start looking at investment brokers and Hollywood ('Prudential', 'Paramount'...names that might give you a 'bonner' as you traded your first-born to 'em for either 'stock in Enron' or movie tickets to [insert aptly-named dumb Adam Sandler/Eddie Murphy movie name HERE].

Oh well...I'm dumb--I MEAN, 'done'. I remit the remainder of my time to...[whispering]...oh, never mind, this is still XDA dev forums...I GET IT.

I'm done.
