[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
Does the case elevate the screen if you place it upside down? And think this case would handle semi frequent drops? ( I don't drop it often but, I prefer to be ready for worst case scenarios.)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdock:
Yes, there is a small lip that protrudes around the front.

There doesn't seem to be much protection against drops with this case. The most I would say for it in that respect is it'll keep the edges from getting scratched up in case of minor drops that wouldn't crack the glass to begin with. But if nothing else the case will give you a really good grip so you're less likely to drop it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
Well I know that my current body glove case he gives my phone just enough "lift" that if I drop it onto a flat surface with no rocks, it'll land fairly safely.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jriv:
The body glove case is really good it's the one I sick with the most
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I've been using these cases for months now. I really like them. I've dropped my phone a few times since then and the case has proven itself worthy. I switch up between teal, white, and smoke. I like teal the most.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] anro15:
As said above, yes it does. But only on a very flat surface, as the lip is probably only 1mm above the surround. The minimal feel is one the reasons that I really like this case.

One thing I didn't say, I do not use a screen protector. Therefore I'm not sure how well the case would interface one.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] westshotgun:
I got this too from amazon (black one, although I don't see black one on amazon anymore)

It's the best case I have used so far.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] MoFoQ:
any brick & mortar stores carry it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] hydrogen3:
The corporate AT&T store carries this case. With not so many choices, I picked one up yesterday.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Snow_fox:
I'd probably be OK. My body glove doesn't give a lot of lift but, it is just enough so that if it lands face down my screen won't scrape the floor.

I may pick one up just to have a change of case since my brother and I currently both use the body glove. And my zagg is on pretty solid so I'm not too worried about it coming off.

Seidio Cases for the AT&T LG Optimus G

If you are a fan of Seidio cases like I am then you're probably pissed about the face that they show no love AT ALL for the AT&T LG Optimus G. Not even one case! Well, I sent an email to the company asking why they don't have cases for either the AT&T LG Optimus G or the LG Optimus G Pro, and if they could start making them. They replied with the expected response that they didn't get enough request for cases for these phones. I loved the ones they made for my previous three phones, the, Apple iPhone 3GS, Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket.

Therefore, I'm asking all of you here that do love the cases that Seidio makes, to officially send them an email requesting them to start making cases for these two excellent LG phones. Personally I've requested that they make the Surface case with kickstand and matching holster.

So please everyone, start bombarding them with request and we just might start getting more cases made for these two LG phones. If you like a particular type of case made by other brands,that you wished had a version for the LG Optimus G line, let us know and let's start hitting those companies up too! :)

Together we can make things happen!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
There is no way they would make a case now. The phone is already too old.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
Too Old? Far From It!

The phone is less than a year old, is still being sold by all major AT&T retailers, and still has better specs then most phones out there on any American carrier, especially when you take into account the great value you get at it's current price point. The fact that I just bought it is at least one more reason that this phone still has plenty of current life left. The only problem with this phone is that LG didn't spend any major marketing to help make it a more popular phone. The more you request/demand something, the more likely you are to get it. Saying that it's too old is the problem with consumers today. Yes, new phones come out roughly every 3 months, yet that doesn't make a great 9 month old phone any less relevant. I'm just saying. :)
[AT&T LG Optimus G] plaster:
The problem isn't the age of the phone. The problem lies in the installed user base. The phone is a poor seller.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Joecascio2000:
This +1. If they didn't make a case several months ago they won't do it now. We are already on the 3rd generation (LGOG, LGOG Pro, LG G2). Plus the issue with our phone is, AT&T is the only different version. That literally cuts down all LGOG owners to a small percentage. If they make any LGOG case, it will be for the LS/International version.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] onyxwavex:
The Phone Isn't A Poor Seller...It's Just Not a Great Seller

I'm mos def not disagreeing with your logic since what you're saying is common sense. I will say though that this generation of the series sold over a million phones collectively by January after just 3 months of sales, thus I think it's safe to assume that by now it isn't farfetched to say they they could have sold at least a total of 2 million by now. Then, with the E970 model maybe making up to about 10% to 20% of those sales, that could be up to almost a half million units. I wouldn't call that a poor seller or user base. Either way though, that doesn't make the attempt to try and get them to produce a case for this phone any less unworthy. They have made cases for low sales models before. Even the Galaxy series at one point early on, including many of its one off carrier models, didn't have the sales numbers that the GS3 and GS4 have today, and yet even they had great cases made for them. You have to start somewhere. If you don't like their cases or believe it's a futile attempt, then, more power to you. However, I posted this for those that do love their cases & holsters to the point where doing whatever we can to get them to seriously consider making it a great idea. It's always better to try then to come up with excuses to not try.

Do you still need back cover when using th emetal bumper? I am in searching a case for my new note 2. Thx.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rawdikrik:
I have a review for one coming up, but the one I had didn't protect the back at all.

How did this one fair?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gray-Lux...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item484e8524a7&_uhb=1

i've got this bumper as well as the bumper previously posted. i find this one to be more durable and study and it also goes over the back which stops your back cover and camera lens from touching whatever surface you put it on.

both can limit your options with accessories though since the ports for the headphones jack and microusb port are quite small and can block some accessories (it blocks my htc car charger and asus n7 2A charger so i ended up using a saw to cut a bit off the microusb area. still sturdy and durable.

the only thing i didnt like was that these cases arent grippy, so im just using an xtremeguard skin on the battery door since it adds a lot more grip.

if i remember correctly, on the note 2, according to the samsung tear down, the antenna isnt in the top corner, its on the lower part of the backside of the device (next to the speaker). signal on my device has not been affected.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dthadamaja:
I've been loving mines. Debating to grab other colors. As you see I replaced my back with a leather one just do to the oem cover being too slippery. I haven't noticed any loss in reception.

Has anyone tried this PDair Al bumper?

http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smar...or-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-gt-n7100-black.html
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
its pretty much the same as the ebay one. same cutouts, same dimensions and all.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Lord Sekhmet:
The PDair one has finger grooves on the sides. It should make it easier to hold.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tdrussell:
Also the pdair one does not have its own buttons, rather large contoured cutouts for the existing buttons.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Souai:
which, in other words, means its exactly the same as this ebay case that i bought.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Al.../160898550396?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160

the cutouts are small and prevent you from using some accessories (some car chargers and headphones wont connect fully). its also only protecting the sides and the screen, it doesnt go over the back part at all so offers no back protection.

thats the reason why i ditched it for this one instead.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310537377953&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123

this one has bigger cutouts, is slightly thicker (read sturdier and more durable) and goes over the back a bit as well to reduce the risk of grains of sand rubbing against your camera glass when you lay it on a table.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tdrussell:
Ended up ordering this one.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1xMetal-Alu.../271113513041?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160

The back is pennies to replace and I've put a small piece of screen protector over the camera, so I'm not too concerned about those two factors.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SweetRedVoice:
I have the gold push button aluminum bumper and the rounded silver zomgo bumper. Of the two I prefer the look of the zomgo however the opening for the usb port is way to small. I got a discount from the seller and dremeled the opening and the usb seats perfect now.

Originally I paired them with the matching aluminum battery cover however after trial and error I found the metal battery cover (not the bumper) was causing pretty serious the signal degradation. So I got the carbon fiber battery covers which work great without degrading the Wifi or LTE signal.

If you worried about the screen and the back cover. Buy the Buff Zagg ivisible cover is a protective screen. On the Zagg page are a full protection film. This cover the front, back, sides, botton , and top with a Military gradeprotective film.

Use the Aluminum Bumper Cover to obtain extra protection. Doesn't affect the signal...

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
I went ahead and ordered a silver carbon fiber battery door (same one in the quote) and an aluminum bumper after seeing your pictures. I went with the bumper that had cutouts instead of buttons (not the rounded one) since its slimmer. I would have gone with the Zomgo but I couldn't find a US seller. Thank you for the pictures that convinced me to order.

Both items were purchased on ebay and from U.S. shippers.

Battery door (11.99 free shipping) LINK

Bumper (12.49 free shipping) LINK

I will post pictures when the items arrive.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] superchi:
Careful with some of these bumpers.

I did a review of the Zomgo and the eBay special with the ridges on the side. As mentioned in the posts above, the Zomgo will NOT fit the factory micro USB cable out of the box. The cutouts are a bit small for the buttons but work well enough.

The ridged case BARELY fits the micro USB cable, and even then it requires you to force the phone at an angle in order to jam the plug in. Also, the factory headphone plug will NOT fit; the cutout is square for some reason and does not line up well and will not allow the plug to seat at all.

I believe there is a post somewhere here that tested whether or not these cases affected signal, and the results show that it did. Personally, I did not notice a major impact on signal, but YMMV.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
So I received my bumper and door today, and i love the bumper. It fits well, it slides on and off without scratching the phone and it has a nice finish to it. I will order 3 more colors when I get home tonight.

The battery door is mediocre at best, but that's okay. The door is just a misaligned sticker on top of a piece of plastic that doesn't snap in to the phone housing snugly.

I decided to buy some skins for the original battery doors in different finishes and see if I can get a look that I like. I tried some skinguardz a few weeks back, and they are nice and fit near perfectly.

Here are some pictures as promised.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] imiller913:
That looks good
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
I purchased 4 skins to try out and I liked the first one I applied. I wont actually keep the front skin on since I rather have a screen protector, but I just wanted to show that top of the bumper case doesn't actually touch the screen when you slide it into place and these skins are pretty thick.

I like using the official Samsung battery door.

EDIT: Another shot of the 3M skins
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] whitlecj:
That looks great! Have you noticed any affects on signal with the bumper? I live in a low signal area and don't want to sacrifice any signal if possible. The note 2 has much better signal than my s3 but still can't stand to reduce it any.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
I haven't noticed any drop yet, but places I use 4g are max bars anyway. At home I get 2-3 bars and I still do. Haven't felt the need to monitor dbm. I'm guessing any drop I may be getting is negligible. On the other hand My aluminum battery cover made 5 bars drop to 3 bars
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vagelis:
What you may notice dropping more significantly with the aluminum bumpers is GPS sensitivity and the time it takes to acquire a GPS signal lock. I had purchased 4 aluminum bumpers to use with Mugen extended battery, only to find them all ending up in my drawer because the GPS was unacceptable to me.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Kokanee483:
Here is a screenshot of my signal strength with and without an aluminum bumper case which just arrived today;

The case I purchased is this one;

http://www.ebay.com/itm/11098957906...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
It would be cool if there was a aluminum bumper that had a cutout on the left to work with the Samsung flip cover.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vagelis:
Given the fact that the dB scale is logarithmic and not linear, a -6 dB drop is quite significant. What this also means is that you're using more battery to maintain a radio connection, as radio output ramps up as the signal attenuates.

And that is not considering the GPS signal loss, which is also significant.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
At the same spot on my desk, I'm getting the same signal strength with case on and off. plus or minus -2dBm 16 asu since it fluctuates with case or no case.

I'm on Verzion 4G . I get lock instantly every time for GPS at my desk. Plus i never have problems playing Ingress. I'm laying my phone flat on the desk.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that my case is more shallow, meaning the battery door protrudes pretty far past the metal bumper. Or perhaps the fact that the cut outs are large for the volume etc.

EDIT: I've recently found that from time to time, my GPS will lock, but it will report my position a few streets away from my real location with the bumper on. So the bumper does impede GPS performance for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Anyone know which screen protector will work with the aluminum bumpers? One that wont peel when sliding in the top cover?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
Otterbox, spigen protectors, JLG, extreme guard, fosmon, iSmooth (my favorite).

Just about every protector works with the two metal bumpers I have except for tempered glass protectors.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AznDud333:
the to get one with screws, the slide ones bend very easily.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

i thought 75dbm was perfect? seems like your case made signal better looool
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] AndroidStephen:
In signal terms, -86 dBm would be a stronger receive signal than -92 dBm. So, if you labeled your pics correctly, it did indeed improve as long as it's a clean signal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JuliskaCat:
I am currently using SUPERLITE CM10 JELLY BEAN RoM and I "LOVE" the music quality mostly using winamp and Pandora.

I tried out [UCLL3] SUPERLITE UNOFFICIAL SAMSUNG JB 4.1.2 >> 202mb << ROOTED - INSECURE KERNEL - INIT.D and it is just not the same. I really like this one and was hoping to switch to it, bu the music quality is not even close to the CM10 version.

All I use is volume+ on both of them and no matter how high I turn up the volume or bass or adjust the eq in volume+, I can't get the great sound as I get in the CM10 version. The only difference I noticed was that dspmanager was on the CM10 but not the leaked JB version. Not sure if that even affects the sound, but thought I would mention it.

I am staying on the CM10 version for now solely because of the music, but I really want to switch.

Lastly vincom is my hero on the superlite cm10 jb rom. I had tried so many jb roms a while back to get flash to work and I discovered this rom and the AWESOME sound it gets playing music, the bass especially. It just sounds so much more full and deep. Like I mentioned before, I can adjust the bass, etc on the the leaked jb version and it is so not there.
