Here's an interesting story:

I stopped by a local VZW dealer and asked to try out the VZW G2 cases. They only had the Incipio ones in stock and put it on my phone. I asked about cases with strong drop protection and he said to wait for the Otterbox or Ballistic. He told me he just cracked his G2's screen when it fell to the ground. His phone was in his shirt pocket, dropped down to tie his shoes and now 3/4's of his G2's screen is cracked and unusable (but the portion below it is). So apparently the screen is easily cracked when on hard surfaces like a driveway.

So what's the best case for drop protection? Also screen protector that DOES NOT damage the screen? I'm leaning towards the Ballistic right now ($25 on Amazon atm). Any other thoughts?

Throwing in some more support for the Incipio Feather. Got a gray one and it's exactly what I wanted. Anti smudge and a clean look with minimal bulk added. It's grippier certainly than going caseless which some would prefer but I find slightly annoying when pulling out of and putting in pockets. Otherwise a perfect case for my needs.
[G2 Accessories] Vakharn:
So I just got back from the Verizon store and I can say that despite the protestations from the employees that it wouldn't fit, the Verizon kick stand case and holster fits the G2 in a Diztronic TPU case PERFECTLY. The only downside is it is a little tight and hard to pull out, but that'll loosen up over time.
[G2 Accessories] WPWoodJr:
I switched from the Incipio to the Zagg InvisibleShield that Verizon carries. Its great, grippy without any bulk.

Thats kind of the setup I was looking for. I tried the Incipio feather and it was a perfect fit in the case but not much more protection than the shell that came with the case. I wanted to try the Dual Pro ( which I think will be too big) but can't locate it in a retail store.
[G2 Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
I absolutely hate the corporate store. I bought my wife's G2 on-line and when I got the text that it was ready to pick up, I went in and even THEN those idiots first told me that there is no such device, and when they found their stock they tried to get me to change to something else.

On my way out of the corporate store, I was followed by another angry customer who was upset over something completely trivial that her sales person was unable to accommodate.

These Verizon stores are absolutely terrible. Terrible! And the "fake" corporate stores are even WORSE...

I hear you there, I waited 45 mins to have my phone activated... I finally asked if I could take it, I have activated hundreds of phones. Thankfully I was able to take it.

You'd think with ordering online they would have some sort of express checkout type thing.

Yea i have the dual pro from incipio also. I approve #TeamVerizonG2 #WeAllWeGot
[G2 Accessories] Vakharn:
It's funny, I actually haven't had a lot of problems with my local verizon store. When I went in to purchase my last two phones I wound up chatting with the sales guy about the advantages and disadvantages of various current models, they were generally fairly quick, and it was an all around good experience. It probably helps that I generally go there after 8pm though so it's not busy.
[G2 Accessories] zathus:
Just got my duel pro today. What a nice case! Perfect fit.
[G2 Accessories] Sushiglobster:
I'd love to see a thin, sleek type of case that covers the verizon buttons in the back. Imagine a rubberized type feel to the buttons because the case is protecting them.

I'm hoping Sedio can do something like this.

The Ballistic rep just told me flat out, they are waiting to see if they get enough requests before making Aspira for Verizon G2. Told me to email interest. I like the aspira better than the sg, it's slimmer
[G2 Accessories] ecksreturns:
I am unsure if anyone here is into pouches, but I have a Spigen GS4 Crumena pouch and I put my VZW G2 into it and it fit perfectly well, with the top *just* about peeping a bit , but not enough to cause any concern for me. I will work with this till SGP or other manufacturers come out with Vzw G2 specific stuff.
[G2 Accessories] Beaumac:
That carbon fiber skin is very intriguing. Does it offer any protection against accidental drops? Or does it just keep materials from touching the phone.

I personally just got this sticker because it looks cool: http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/lg/exoskin-0

Of course I have the phone in the quickwindow case so you cant really appreciate it. Lol.

I'm waiting for quickwindow in more colors.

Just bought an Incipio Feather on the VZW website (only in blue and gray). Hopefully it won't show unavailable as they say coming soon on the Incipio website...

Mine is showing it at like $38 on Verizon's website (25% off?)

I figured out how to get your Verizon discount applied to the G2 Feather case (or any other G2 case) on checkout, use the mobile site thru your phone

Worked no problem on grey feather

Ok, here goes - pics of the Skinomi® TechSkin - LG G2 (Verizon ONLY) Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield + Black Carbon Fiber Full Body Protective Skin + Lifetime Warranty.

I think the skin is vinyl and its made by 3M. There is a definite texture to it which does make the phone easier to hold and it does not attract fingerprints. I'm letting the adhesive set in overnight so I haven't really tried the phone with it yet.

It took about an hour to apply. Don't get this if you have OCD; while it's not too difficult to get it looking good, little imperfections do happen (which most people would never notice). The skin comes with one big piece for the back and 4 strips for the sides. The strips don't quite reach all the way around the phone so there will be a small gap (or gaps). Be sure to have a hair dryer handy to warm up the adhesive and press down the parts that stick up.

Here's some pictures of the big back piece being applied to the back of the phone:

Here's the finished product:

Sorry for the Mr Blurry Cam on the last one. You can see where I left a gap when putting down the last piece of side stripping.

I'll be trying the phone out tomorrow and will report back. I am concerned that the vinyl may get caught and peel but we will see. I already tried putting the Verizon silicone case on over the skin but it was tight and a piece of edge stripping caught in it and moved. I fixed it with the hair dryer. So you probably won't be able to use a case over this.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

Does the EXOSkin have any texture? Which one did you get? What does it feel like?

I like the way the EXOSkin wraps all the way around the sides. The Skinomi has separate decals for the sides (see my pix above) which creates a gap. You can see the silver strip on the side of the phone through the gap, but it doesn't feel great... the gap is too deep.
[G2 Accessories] Gasaraki-:
Pro tip. I have the carbon fiber Skinomi back. Forget the hair dryer, use an iron. Power up the iron to 3 heat, make sure it's in the dry zone, After you put the skin on, for all the edges and curves, rub it on the iron for 2 secs, take it off, etc. This gets the skin and the glue going and my phone doesn't have any raised edges and doesn't peel when I put it in my pocket everyday.
[G2 Accessories] WPWoodJr:
So far so good today. No peeling but I've just started using it. The phone weighs 148 grams with the skin on.

[G2 Accessories] IamPro:
After using the VZN G2 for a few days, I am beginning to use the back buttons more often. I am tending to notice that they are hard to tell the difference btwn each one (thanks Verizon!) so I was thinking maybe if there might be some sort of thing we could put on top of the buttons like Spigen has done for the Galaxy Note 2 and S4 home buttons?
[G2 Accessories] DeaconBoogie:
I am quite happy with the Verizon black TPU case that I got when I bought it. I would have liked a blue TPU case more (which is what I had on my GNex for nearly two years). Regardless, TPU cases are my hands-down favorite cases, and the Verizon branded ones have always been significantly better quality than the Chinese flotsam you'll find on eBay/Amazon.
[G2 Accessories] WPWoodJr:
Which case is that? Is it the one with the holster?
[G2 Accessories] Silvaire:
If I get a Skinomi Carbon Fiber skin for my VZW G2, will it still be able to charge wirelessly?

It's funny, I pointed out on verizon tweet account and LG how Verizon stores were trying to t as 'll customers out of this phone, denying its existence,etc., they both played dumb. It's sad. LG must not have greased the right pockets
[G2 Accessories] jesssiii:
My local corporate store wouldn't sell me one, said their stock was for customers who were "upgrading" their plan (I was paying full price to keep unlimited data). I had to go to a non-corporate store and buy the phone. I hate my local store!

[G2 Accessories] firestonebeer:
than ntociai

I have the quick window case. I will be returning it for a refund (14 days to return). It is pricey but I just wanted to try it and now that I have, I do not think it is worth it. It really does not do much. I thought it would do more, but basically just changing the clocks. Just not worth $50 (or even $40 which I paid with my discount.)
[G2 Accessories] hd-renegade:
I too seen this on the VZW web site too, but what I do not understand is why it does not show up on the Otter Box web site??
[G2 Accessories] leocal79:
The defender is way too bulky and the screen protector that's always on these destroys the look of the screen and attracts tons of dust plus it makes the screen unresponsive. I will be returning it soon as I get my dual pro and my trident case.
[G2 Accessories] hd-renegade:
I happen to like the Otter Box for protection for my phone. It was a positive protection for my Razr Maxx to the point where it look like new. We all have out opinions of how things work out, and with that, I look forward to protecting my G2 with Otter Box.

[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
just wanted to chime in and say you're wrong about fake corporate stores. they're called authorized retailers, and they tend to have more knowledgeable people behind the helm.

i ran a "fake" corporate store for 2 years, and i had hundreds of people switch to my store over the 2 local corporate stores because of how much better our customer service was, and how knowledgeable we were. it was a small family business; my boss was 2 or 3 years older than me (i'm 26) and he was the owner of the store. the two of us knew a hell of a lot about phones (mainly android) and people loved the personable atmosphere when they came into our store.

i've gone to corporate stores before, and after working there, and i can say it's nothing but a headache. corporate stores hire anybody who can add 2+2, whereas my boss, when hiring me, made sure i knew wtf i was talking about when it came to phones.

lesson here: authorized retailers are typically much better than any corporate store.
[G2 Accessories] wizzcap:
Another +1 for the dualpro case. It feels very premium with the soft touch plastic. I ordered it from shopblt, it arrived in about 4 days.

Anyone have the trident aegis? It's supposed to fit all models, but I'm skeptical.

They're releasing the cyclops model in a few weeks which should fit our phones, so I want to know if their aegis case fits our model

Yes. There is a thread about it. I was skeptical too
[G2 Accessories] ericerk:

Don't be.. 1/3 of the back is cutout to ensure that every model g2 fits in it.

I bet it will fit any phone with its design. Yeah, universal cases are now a reality!

[G2 Accessories] Vysin:
Yeah but our phone is thicker due to wireless charging

[G2 Accessories] Bigralphn:
I am not digging my Ballistic case. It is well made and sturdy but it messes up every screen protector I put on the phone. It makes the edges peel.
[G2 Accessories] marleyinoc:
I think the edges peel because the edges of the glass is curved. If you have an extra maybe you can trim ever so slightly to avoid the curve. I've heard some screen protectors are even slightly smaller to compensate for the curve (and some cases manage to hide the fact they didn't cover full screen...
[G2 Accessories] Bigralphn:
I had a couple that were smaller for this. But the edges still wouldn't stay. Skinomi replaced my first before I realized it may be the case. I tried the others I mentioned prior to the replacement coming. I went through two. I put my replacement Skinomi on a couple days ago as I really like them. I used my hair dryer. I gave it several hours to set before putting the Ballistic on. The Skinomi by design should conform to the screen. Especially with the dryer. I over the first 24 hours a couple spots on the edge started to work up into bubbles. Each time I smoothed it out and hit it with the hair dryer. Eventually it seemed to work. Today I have had zero issues. I had already planned on an Otterbox when Verizon models hit eBay. I pop out the Otterbox screens. I think some of it is the fact there is nothing to secure the rubber on the top and bottom edges. I find that a very odd design. . You wife got the Trident which has a similar design, but has a little plastic there to secure all the rubber. I have always went to Trident or Otterbox. I have had zero issues with Trident. Both my son and I broke our Galaxy Nexus Otterbox in drops. The plastic broke off around the Jacks. I had a Trident literally fly out of my pocket in a Walmart parking lot and bounce across the lot end of end over end then slide under a parked car. I was certain my phone was done. The Trident had one tiny scratch. The phone was untouched.

[G2 Accessories] GlassForest:
The Incipio Dual Pro is so wonderful, awesome soft touch finish on the outer shell and it's clear with the second layer of soft rubber that it really will offer some protection and shock absorption if dropped. I would have gone with Cruzerlite because I like their TPU designs but they took so long to get the VZW versions out (there is finally ONE design available from them) that I went with Incipio. It's also a huuuuuge benefit that unlike most other cases, the rear buttons are covered by the rubber inside layer and do a better job at differentiating the buttons so you can really be confident to figure out which button you're pressing by touch alone, whereas the regular Verizon buttons are a pain to tell apart.
