Spigen slim armor

I hate Verizon for always making manufactures make their phones different!!! No radio (not that big of a deal) but why change the freaking design for one carrier..lg should have had a backbone and told vzw to eff off...I want this freaking SPIGEN CASE!!!! The case selection sucks because vzw are a bunch of idiots. my rant is done..with that said..i guess I will keep using this stupid flip window case from lg :(

Slim Armor case for LG G2 is NOT COMPATIBLE with Verizon version.

Oh and btw I tried the att version of this case..it fits but the phone pops out, I almost considered taking my dremel to the phone and forcing it to fit.

There's a white and clear version for Verizon now.

There was a reason

Yes, I do hate how Verizon makes their own changes, and splash their logo all over the phone. But there was a legitimate reason why the buttons and shape were changed out on the Verizon version. It was to make room for the wireless charging. And although it doesn't look as streamlined as the other versions, I'm happy to have the change in order to inclusively have wireless charging on the Verizon variant.

THIS!!!!!! I'm happy to trade case selection for a killer feature like wireless charging..... :good:

That said, I'm e-mailing seidio because their holster cases are great.

The Diztronic TPU Case. Provides just enough texture to take away the slippery feel of the G2 without adding a lot of bulk.

I got the Ballistic gel case in a couple of days ago, and I love the case. Its seems that the majority of cases in this thread are looking towards the slimmer side of things, but I just can't have a slim case. I broke 2 og razrs in a month and having to cough up a c-note for each killed me. anyway -->

The case doesn't add that much bulk to the phone (in comparison to something like the otterbox defender). And the raised edges around the screen, and the nice silicone bumpers on the edge make me feel so much safer in case of a fall. I'd highly recommend this to anyone that is either accident prone to destruction like I am, or just likes having the extra security.

P.S. I've gotten numerous comments from people thinking that the case is pretty sexy!

[G2 Accessories] srath16:
Hello all, I wanted to jump in here and say a few things about the cases you find out there, most of which are mentioned in this thread. I sell and distribute some LG G2 cases from some of the more renowned manufacturers and include SEIDIO, Otterbox, and LG's Quickwindow cases. From personally testing I can somewhat confirm that the otterbox defender series for the LG G2 does in fact work with the Verizon version however it is a tight fit, as in dont try to fit it if you are worried about your phone "tight". If you need the added protection then it might be worth a shot. Through using the otterbox the buttons on the back had a little more feedback to them but the power button required a bit more of a push than the volume buttons due to the sloped design on the rocker. Also, beware SEIDIO cases for now as when speaking with them I was told they have not even considered there may be a difference between the variants, especially Verizon. I used to have the VZW Galaxy Nexus back in the day (in fact still do) and vaguely remember a post in that forum that involved modifying some of the TPU and matte plastic cases by heating them and then placing it on the phone because the cases were different for the international versions. Im sure the same would work for the VZW G2, but have yet to test it. Happy holidays everyone, hope this was somewhat helpful.
[G2 Accessories] scrubasarus:
I bought a defender for mine and it didn't seem too tight. The extra screen cover that congress with the defender is loose-ish and makes the phone a pain to use.
[G2 Accessories] vader540is:
I have tried the Verizon incipeo feather light, puregear, & tuda case; IMO I like my case Tobe very thin..and that it does not make the phone wider; the feather lite from Verizon is the thinnest and lightest case I have tried; and unlike the gel cases; it will not interfere with your screen protector IMO

element case

Coming from an s3 i had the element eclipse and loved all $65 of it. I like having the aluminum bezel and carbon fiber on the back. The kickstand was an afterthought but i never used it. It woukd be nice if something like this would pop up. I am interested in the trident cyclops though if anyone has tested it let me know!
[G2 Accessories] bberryhill0:
I searched but it doesn't look like anyone has gotten the EXOSkin. That looks ideal for me if it is non-slip. I'm using friction tape for now. Their website annoyingly doesn't tell you the shipping cost until you put in all your information.

* Should have searched further.

I got the ghost armour. It actually isn't for the verizon phone but it still works. The back button cutout is a little bigger to accommodate the bigger buttons. And the corners look a lot better than the exo skin.

I wonder which finish provides the best grip. Does it have front skins too? Bare, the phone slides on the slightest slope when face down.

The Incipio Feather case looks good too.

[G2 Accessories] rip9150:
I got mine on Amazon for $13 free shipping. Granted it is for a diff model, but I can deal. Although it says carbon fiber it is more of a textured vinyl, but I think the exoskin is also a vinyl 3m type. There isn't anything's on the front of mine and I prefer it th at way. I got a tpu bumper that also isn't for the verizon but I am hoping that it fits well enough. It was only 3.99. Maybe since the ghost armour has a lifetime warranty I will send it back when it's worn out and trade fir the verizon model. Still wish element would make a case though, I've never had a better care than the eclipse. And they are local from the San Fran bay area so I like to represent.

[G2 Accessories] rip9150:
So I received my you bumper from China in the mail today. The one on ebay for like $3. It isn't made for the vs980 but it sooorta fits. Bottom cutout for the speaker doesn't line up but can be dremmeled to fit. And overall the bumper is a little small, a little smaller than normal on my phone because I also have the armor suit skin. Buuuuttt it will work. I did a couple drop tests on carpet and the phone stayed in the case. I'll take some pictures with my wife's phone and upload them in a bit

Anyone see Puregear Fabfolio Wallet Case for LG G2 - Verizon?

Unhappy with Puregear Fabfolio

I purchased this one a bit ago and ended up returning it. (I did post some photos of it in another thread). There was SO much slop in the hinge that I felt it would eventually find a piece of dirt to rub into the screen. It also would NOT automatically engage the quick cover feature so I could skip the knock on/off.

I have since repurchased the Poetic Case's Flipbook (I also have photos of this on another thread). This is of course after I left my phone in a Cab :(
[G2 Accessories] IamPro:
The hinge was a concern of mine, glad it was confirmed. How is the Poetic holding up? How is the build quality, design, functionality? Sorry to hear :(
[G2 Accessories] maniac3221:
I am enjoying it (for the second time) :D. One thing I did notice that after a month the front flap does start to bow a bit between the hinge and the two suction cups from pressure on the front (phone normally lives in my pocket). Other than that I love not having to deal with the Knock On/Off.

As for the design, it does not have hole for the notification light, but does engage the quickview window. The plastic case is like most of the slim cases for the LG G2 just with a kind of faux velvet (has an interesting texture) flap attached.

My only true concern is that the suction cups could come loose as I believe they are just being held on by adhesive. But only time will tell :)

My finace has the VZW Quickview case which is thinner than the Poetic flipbook, but it doesn't have a way to keep it closed. She has since purchased a wristlet wallet/purse off of Amazon which can accommodate the Quickview case plus a bunch of cards.

Ok finally made it so I can post links lol

I tried out the incipio feather case for a week, wasn't much of a fan.. it looked good, but wow when trying to text, that thing just dug into my fingers while holding the phone... returned it and picked up a basic cruzerlite TPU case and haven't looked back... Those just feel really good in my hands
[G2 Accessories] IamPro:
Yea thats one of the problems with the Feather, great (cover imo) but does have its flaws; pointy edges, odd wrapping (prob G2's shape), doesn't cover full top or bottom.

Thinking about getting the Diztronic matte TPU, how is the grip? Any wraps that give a good grip? Would love to have the phone case-less but getting tiny scratches on back and the fingerprints.
[G2 Accessories] themikeyan:
I returned my feather for a diztronic matte black TPU, i like that case a lot more than the incipio... thicker yes, but also feels like it will protect better.... grip is good as well.
[G2 Accessories] jayochs:
I've got both the incipio feather and diztronic.. they're both cool. I like the feather a lot though because it retains its thinness, but the diztronic does a good job of keeping it around the same size. they're both good for gripping.
[G2 Accessories] wm388:
Bout to order the Simple Cell LG G2 Case. It advertises being compatible with the Verizon VS980, and some Amazon reviews concur, but others say it sucks with a screen protector.

Will update with pictures.
[G2 Accessories] blueis300:
For $20 that looks like a nice case. I have just the basic rubber one that I got when I bought the phone of of swappa. Really was looking for a Ballistic or from a previous phone I liked it. I lie the hard/soft protection as you would say I guess. Seems like I cant find the Ballistic Tough Jacket for Verizon. Dont remember if I like the clip or if it was too bulky. I know i want the hard/soft combo

I previously had a Diztronic case for my Sprint Optimus G and it would peel the screen protector up. Does the Verizon G2 version do that? Or does the Tudia one do that?

No it doesn't. I just got the diztronic and I honestly love it the best. I own the dual pro and the poetic flip cover. This is by far the nicest.

I had the DualPro, but had issues with it peeling up the screen protector on my Verizon version. Moved to the Belkin wallet folio, really like the design. Allows me to carry my phone, drivers license, credit card and a debit card.

An added two bonus points for me that I hadn't thought so much about before buying this case...

1. Can conveniently be used to prop the phone for extended video viewing, etc.

2. Fits great in my car mount, no need to remove the case to use in the car.

Edit: Car mount is the Bracketron universal dash mount, may help someone down the road.

[G2 Accessories] dakster111:
Didn't like the quickwindow case since my phone popped out the one time it had a light drop. Use the incipio dual pro now and It's perfect!
[G2 Accessories] renawld:
had this for bout 2 days now so here are some notes. Pictures on the bottom of the post, but I forgot to take pictures of the holster :silly:

Pros

-Good for it''s price ($11 when i bought it. free shipping)

-Has a nice grip, the cross pattern helps. Has a rubberized hard plastic that is harder to flex than others.

-feels bulkier than it looks, but it's not super bulky

-kickstand and holster, but i don't use it unless i toss my phone into my backpack.

-free, open space for ports, so im pretty sure it can fit all headphone jacks.

-really nice tight fit

Cons

-the kickstand is difficult to open, may be an issue for some people.

-after snapping the phone into the case, it is VERY difficult to take it back out, i have yet to take it out because it's so difficult. As i said above it is harder to flex compared to other rubberized plastic cases.

-if you have dust on your screen and attempt to wipe it off, some can get stuck around the bezel protectors and it's somewhat difficult to blow/sweep it off because the plastic is hard to lift.

-wish the cutout on the back for the camera and two buttons were much smaller. But it's a personal thing.

I bought this case and returned my diztronic because it felt REALLY slippery in my hand and I would think I would drop my phone sooner if I kept it instead of buying this one. To be honest, i think it's better than the popular INCIPIO Feather because this case protects the top and bottom a tad better, slightly bulkier, and it's several dollars cheaper. Even better if you use the holster.

If you are looking for a rubberized plastic case that doesn't make the phone too bulky but offers decent amount of protection then I'd recommend you to buy this.

DO NOT purchase this at the verizon store, it's around 30 bucks there.

Instead, buy it from here.

Hoped my review helped.
[G2 Accessories] dddjames:
Just got myself the Incipio Dual Pro (Verizon) after going commando for the first 4 days of my life with the G2. It just felt so delicate without a case, so I felt like I had to try something, even though I'm generally a no-case kind of guy.

Looks and feels really great, and really makes the phone feel a little more substantial and safe in the hand when you're picking it up and setting it down. I like that the outside of the shell has a little bit of slickness, but a little bit of grippiness too. It goes in and out of my pants pockets fairly easily, although the silicone top and bottom do provide a bit of resistance. I absolutely LOVE the way it covers the buttons on my Verizon version, and makes them feel so much better to find and touch.

As far as bulkiness, it makes the G2 a little thicker than I'd hoped, but that's the price I'll have to pay for having a better tactile feel in the hand, and a bit of security, especially from random bumps and bruises. Will it survive a fall? I'd say may I increased my chances of surviving a fall by 50%, but still don't have high hopes if I drop it on concrete or anything. There's just a lot of screen on the G2 to potentially not shatter it to death in the event of a fall.

I ordered it on Staples online for $22 shipped. Arrived in less than 2 days with their standing shipping method. I'm still considering picking up the Incipio Feather to see if it feels better to me, but I'm gonna ride with the Dual Pro for a while first.

I'm running with the ballistic shell gel and it has definitely saved my phone's life a couple times. The gel sleeve has thicker bumpers on the corners and is raised above the screen for added protection. The TPC wraparound cover keeps everything nice and tight. The rear buttons also make it easier to differentiate between the vol down, pwr and vol up versus the stock. I have a Monoy tempered glass protector coming in for the screen to compliment the case.

I have two case for my VS980...when I am in a less bulky mood, I use the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody Series TPU Protective Case. When I want more protection, I change to the Ballistic SG1233-A065 Shell Gel for LG G2 - VZW. Bought both on Amazon.

1 more question, does it feel rubberized as if it felt like it would stretch after using it for a long time? or is this case more TPU-like (plasticky)?
[G2 Accessories] IamPro:
I am only concerned about the middle parts, they are thin (yes plasticity) and not hard but think the case will shrink down overtime. If you have to take off the case all the time then I probably would not recommend it otherwise I think its a great case (so far).

[MENTION=5725662]renawld[/MENTION]

I just got the same case. It's TPU like the Diztronic or Tudia. I also have the Diztronic and the Body Glove is twice as thick or appears to be on the sides and back. It's not noticeable in the hand but you can see that it's thicker when you look at the access ports.

Sitting the cases side by side they are both the same depth and width but the BG is a little longer. Overall any size difference is negligible even though the sides and back of the BG are thicker.

The BG has more separation between it and the screen, meaning the lip that wraps up around the phone doesn't go all the way to the edge of the screen. The lip on the screen side appears to be a little smaller on the BG.

Aesthetically, I like the Diztronic more because it's sterile or plain. The BG looks more industrial. The faux brushed aluminum looks OK but looks more like paint brush streaks.

I like the overall feel and texture of the BG better than the Diztronic. It's courser. Overall build quality is better too but I have one of the first Diztronic cases so that may be a factor. The access ports on the BG are cut more cleanly and the USB port access is larger, which I like. It feels more secure in my hands than the Diztronic but it never felt like I would drop it.

I think drop protection is the same as other TPU cases.

This will be my daily case for a while unless something else catches my eye.
