There is no case just for the different carrier models as far as I know. All of them have the hole for the ATT mic.
[G2 Accessories] TC93:
The Verizon version of the G2 requires a case made for Verizon, due to its thickness having the built in wireless charging. Its one negative about it, and its annoying trying to find a nice case for it.
[G2 Accessories] Baccaustone:
I have one but I don't like it , it makes the phone very thick.
[G2 Accessories] scandiun:
The case is good because protects all the outline of the phone, however is a little bit thick and doesn't have enough diameter for the flash, so it narrows the flash beam and decreases its intensity.

Slim Armor appears discontinued for G2 on US site

I just bought an AT&T G2 new for $190 off ebay (LINK) and wanted a slim armor case like I have on my G4. Low and behold, I can't find it on Amazon, any US ebay sellers or on Spigen's US site. My guess is they discontinued it. I found a knock off on aliexpress yesterday and ordered it for $5 shipped. Would rather have the authentic one, but I can only find it on their UK site and their official UK ebay store but it would be close to $40 shipped. Like the case, but not that much. Hoping my $5 knockoff will do unless I can find a good deal on an official one.

EDIT: Emailed them and got confirmation...their whole g2 product line is discontinued.
[G2 Accessories] EniGmA1987:
Hopefully I get the new model case then., I ordered a few days ago and got an email this morning saying the case shipped, no mention of anything different about the model being sent to me but since it just shipped today I would assume it should be the new model since everyone else is getting their new model shipped today/tomorrow too.

I got my spigen in the mail today and received an email about an updated case for the ir blaster. They said it would be in the mail soon. Ordered straight from spigen.
[G2 Accessories] ericdabbs:
It surely is the Beast company.
[G2 Accessories] Janax99:
I got the same email and I had ordered directly from Spigen as well. My case (metal slate) doesn't have the hole in the back for the noise-cancelling mic either, so hopefully this newer case will have that in addition to the promised IR blaster hole. Still, very happy with the company for being so proactive!
[G2 Accessories] ericdabbs:
Wow on Amazon, Spigen is delaying the new shipments until October 10th. I guess they are really trying to make sure the new types of cases are being sold from this point forward.
[G2 Accessories] EniGmA1987:
I ordered from Amazon as I said, I received an old version of the case but was told in an email that they will be sending me a new updated version for free soon. I notice my interior rubber has a hole in the back for the noise cancelling mic, but it is just the outer hard shell that does not have this hole. This leads me to believe it is probably a manufacturing defect from the company that manufactures the outer shell for Spigen. Likely this means Spigen is getting proper replacements for free which is why we get the free replacement as well. It is nice of them to do this because most company's would simply say "oh well you can order an "updated version" if you want to new feature we added!" lol. So far though, except for the problem of the noise cancelling mic on the back I am loving this case. it looks and feels nice, is not too big, and protects the phone in all the right ways. IR blaster does take a hit though in reliability, also a feature which was improved on the new case with the bigger hole cutout. Starting from when the new cases hit the market this should be the best case out there, and from a great company as well.
[G2 Accessories] canecbr600:
I have emailed these guys 4 or 5 times over the past week about no back mic hole. I did a pre-order through there website a week before the phone was available. I have not gotten ANY reply to my emails at all! I don't understand why. Seems several people here have heard from them no problem. Very frustrating!!!
[G2 Accessories] EniGmA1987:
Maybe their site is messed up and the email is not going to an active account for some reason. I emailed them through Amazon's contact seller page.
[G2 Accessories] thestrangebrew:
I got mine through amazon on Thursday with no noise canceling hole but I haven't received an email about a replacement yet. Maybe I'll shoot them an email too.
[G2 Accessories] TechSilver13:
So its been 1 business day and you expect an email that fast? Give it a week.
[G2 Accessories] droidiac13:
I purchased mine from their eBay store. Sent them a message informing them of the problem. Took them about a week to get back to me and they refunded my money. They told me that they didn't know about the issue, that the eBay store is separated from the corporate people, but that they did confirm the issue with the corporate people.

I took out the smallest drill bit I had and drilled two holes on high speed and now I have my mic holes :)
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
Is there any difference between the at&t and the international version ? verizon and korean version are confirmed different but any news on this ?
[G2 Accessories] ericdabbs:
The international, AT&T, Tmobile and Sprint versions are all the same and the Slim Armor case will work for it. You can see that when you look at the Amazon page for this product.

anyone know which US version of G2 is identical with korean version?
[G2 Accessories] m3lover1:
Three posts above ya...
[G2 Accessories] deathbytalkshow:
It's a shame, but I guess it makes sense if the G3 and G4 are the new kids in town they'll be pushing for more production of accessories for those than a phone that's two years old which in the tech world it's already becoming obsolete.

As far as the thickness goes, I removed the hard plastic backing and just use the rubber casing and it feels a lot less thick. I know it's only like millimeters difference but it's pretty significant.
[G2 Accessories] nnorton44:
Yeah I liked my Slim Armor case on my M8 but can't find anything close on the G2 oh well
[G2 Accessories] Blackwolf14:
Is there any effect to signal (signal drop etc.) with this case?

[G2 Accessories] Kokovitch:
I have one but it make the G2 very Thick. I think it protects the phone very well, and looks nice, but as I said the G2 become much bigger. I prefer the quickwindow case over than slim armor.
[G2 Accessories] Dark_Az_:
I hope you have a screen protector, as that case tends to scratch the hell out of the screen. Not my image, though I did get that case for a couple of months and noticed the same thing. Fortunately I had a protector at the time which looked like it was in the war.
[G2 Accessories] FiendFyre:
I have three of these cases right now, USED (Red - some paint chips in the paint/plastic, Black - a couple scratches but mostly ok, Metal Slate - lots of fine scratches), if anyone wants to buy them. Just make me an offer, I'm thinking 5$ plus shipping. I have some pictures of them also, just pm me if you're interested.
[G2 Accessories] LitrosNub:
I've been looking for these, some pics maybe? Maybe I'll buy.

Refresher.

In my case Slim Armor on a slightly newer Samsung S22 sits well, it's really slim and has cutouts for the speaker, microphone, soft buttons - not a bad product
[G2 Accessories] Ray3rd:
Have never tried their cases, but I always use the Spigen / Steinheil screen protectors.
[G2 Accessories] cruzargel:
This case is ultra nice! Very snug fit and at the same time it is not hard to remove the case. Only negative for me is the reduced LED flash radius. Approx 10-20%
[G2 Accessories] ribby18:
Does anyone know why the top corner (right side, opposite the front camera) of the inner layer has a cut out? There is no sensor or mic there.... it just leaves a corner off the phone exposed. I want to love this case, and I mostly do.... that detail is just really bugging me. Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? Thanks!
[G2 Accessories] azelaya:
I believe the att version of the phone has a cut out for a second mic.
[G2 Accessories] canecbr600:
No.... no mic on the corner ..... my understanding Korean version has a telescopic TV antenna there...
[G2 Accessories] ribby18:
That has to be it! Thanks for clearing it up! But man, what a bummer... I love the case, but that stupid corner is driving me nuts
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
I bet 90% of the sales of this case would be for non-korean versions.

Black G2, White Case? Black Base? or Metal Slate?

Hi everyone, I just had a few questions regarding the white, black, or metal slate variants of the Spigen Slim Armor case. Can anyone confirm if the white case gets dirty easily? Or if the black case is glossy and therefore a fingerprint magnet? And how well does the metal slate color go with a black G2? Thanks in advance :)
[G2 Accessories] vuhien:
I think the glossy plastic so no dirty. Black ones look better than others
[G2 Accessories] sweets55:
I had a Neo Hybrid for S4. Wondering if Spigen will carry that for the G2? Slim Armor case is nice but seems to add just a little more bulk. Not sure if I'll get it or not.
[G2 Accessories] izzuedotcom:
Do you happen to have pics for the metal slate case? :)
[G2 Accessories] Semantics:
I will take some later. I honestly don't use the case, it just makes the phone too wide. I use the Diztronic TPU, but I can take some pictures of the metal slate later when I get home.
[G2 Accessories] aknbad23:
I just ordered this case off Amazon. Hope I get the one with the proper cutouts for the AT&T version.
[G2 Accessories] jusatin:
So, the pictures? ;)
[G2 Accessories] cosine83:
Got the Soul Black one. Not really liking it a whole lot. Really bulks the phone up and the plastic in the middle is a bit on the slippery side. I wish they'd do the Neo Hybrid case for this phone. I loved that case on my GS4.

- The glossy plastic piece in the middle is cheap looking, collects fingerprints, and just doesn't look good at all.

- The glossy plastic is also very slippery and lends itself easily to launching out of your hand or sliding out.

- The case itself bulks the phone up by a lot but in a way that doesn't feel effective and makes using the buttons a bit harder.

- The case is hard to remove and requires a lot of force to pull off no matter how you go about it.

- The case just doesn't feel good in hand as the Neo Hybrid case and doesn't look like it'll protect the screen on minor drops (no lip).
[G2 Accessories] El Che:
Got it in the mail today...white one looks good. :)
[G2 Accessories] Nickel Dime Bay:
Could you post a pic with the phone inside? ^
[G2 Accessories] lexi250:

[G2 Accessories] te5ter:
I'll go ahead and post my blue one for reference
[G2 Accessories] shook187:
Isn't the case $20 already?
[G2 Accessories] zPacKRat:
The whole corner cut out ruins this and other cases.
[G2 Accessories] EniGmA1987:
if you say so. I dont even notice it at all.

I got my updated version a while ago, which was shipped to me for free. It has the additional rear mic cutout in the case. After having used the new case for a week I am liking it a lot. The case feels solid and looks nice, I went with the metal slate color. I also accidentally dropped my phone this weekend when getting out of my car. The phone dropped from about 4 feet high and landed right on a corner :crying: Thankfully nothing was broken and no marks were left on the phone. It sounded like a really solid hit to the phone too and I was really worried I broke my new phone. That sort of thing has never really happened to me before, and thankfully there is not a single problem with it after the drop. This case seems to protect the phone really well with its rubber cushion inside and hard shell outside.
[G2 Accessories] bassically:
Those of you you have the metal slate color, does it look navy like the picture? Or gunmetal color?

Thanks:fingers-crossed:
[G2 Accessories] EniGmA1987:
It is not quite as dark and as blue to be considered "navy blue", but it is a dark blue color. It is more of a dark slate color. hence the name :p

Metal Slate Case Images

Here are some images I took of the metal slate case, sorry for the image quality I had to take the pics with an older phone. Hope it helps!
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
What kind of screen protector is on it? Is it a plastic type or a tempered glass type? Looking to get this case and pair it with a tempered glass protector, but worried it wont fit properly.
[G2 Accessories] goalie25560:
I have a plastic one, Zagg invisibleSHIELD, not the tempered glass one. However I don't have any issues with it. The case really doesn't overlap the phone very much, just barely around the edges.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Good to know. I may have to just bite the bullet and get the case bought then.
[G2 Accessories] xketch:
I've had the case for about a week thus far. I don't think it's terrible but admittedly, I'm scared of dropping my phone. It feels a bit heavy and makes me think the phone will shatter if dropped.
[G2 Accessories] mgolder:
Why would you think the phone will shatter if dropped? Unless you have a tempered gkass screen protector or a flip cover, the screen is always at risk. The rest of the phone should be perfectly safe from normal drops really, that case has 2 layers pretty much.
[G2 Accessories] i.PEAK:
Look great.
[G2 Accessories] xketch:
Mindset, it's a bit heavier than my incipio, it's like my laptop stand, every night I'm on it, I think it is going to fail on me with its tiny two legs, but never does. Annnnd jinxed.
[G2 Accessories] rkaria1970:
I just got mine today, looks good, yeah the phone feels big on your hand, just a bit, but i guess one gets used to it after some time. For those using the spigen, i bought the International version, there's a huge cut out above & on back of the top right screen. The Korean version has a slide out antenna over there, is this for the same, else i don't see any logic of it having there.
[G2 Accessories] izzuedotcom:
Does anyone else have a cut out over the headphone jack that kind of blocks the headphone insertion? I can put my earphones in a bit but it doesn't press all the way to the back since the case is in the way.
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
I've never owned any cases for my phones since I'm usually very good with my devices.

But after watching the drop test videos from Android Authority, I decided that a case would be necessary since I never thought that the G2 would fare so poorly in a drop. I just ordered one in the Metal Slate colour and I hope the added bulk is minimal otherwise it would defeat the purpose of having a slim bezel phone which to me was one of the selling points.
[G2 Accessories] jfiveeight:
I made a drop test with this case. The phone broke prior to having the case (it was in the mail).

link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyI0Ge9cnqI

The phone does still power on and the camera, rear buttons, and digitizer work (where there isn't cracking).
[G2 Accessories] The_D_R_E:
Just got my metal slate slim armor in the mail. Friggin love this case. Even fits comfortably in my leather hip holster which is a huge win and doesn't push up my zagg dry protector.
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
Here's pictures of the my Sigen Slim Armor that I just got today.

Photos were taken with the stock camera app in my G2 in "Intelligent Auto" mode and are unedited/uncropped. Keep in mind that there was a noticeable loss of quality after uploading though.
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
Seriously.. how bulky does it make the device feel with this on?
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
To me, the LG G2 feels like a really big phone, especially coming from a 4" phone. After about a week of having the phone, I got used to the size of it in my hand.

When I put on the Spigen case yesterday, I barely noticed the change in size. I think part if it is because although it may be larger, the phone is much easier to hold in my hand due to the shape (angled cuts around the sides of the body vs. curved stock body) and has better grip.

I am definitely less afraid of having the phone slip out of my hands now with this case on. I would consider myself to have medium-sized hands and for one-handed use, I don't feel that the case affects the usability much. Although technically I guess your fingers won't reach as far, it feels easier to use one-handed due to the improved level of grip vs stock body which I find quite slippery.
[G2 Accessories] bps119:
I also have this case and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't make the phone feel too bulky. I'd highly recommend this case to anyone.
[G2 Accessories] nbunn:
I was so close to buying this case but the video that was put up showing that it didn't help much in screen first falls steered me away. With my other phone currently on the 4th week in the shop getting a screen fixed I can't afford for the screen on my G2 to get broken. I had to go with the DualPro even though I like this one better
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
Thanks for the reply.

How about the front lip that raises above the screen edges.. does it make it harder to swipe to/from the edges of the screen?

The thing is, I'm using a BodyGuardz white skin on my black G2 and it looks great (color-wise). However, having something sticking on your phone always make the phone feel more fragile (afraid of the skin peeling off the edges). And yea when you hold it, the skin edges does hit your fingers quite a fair bit.

To counter that, I got an IMAK clear case. Due to the increased thickness with the skin, the case could barely fit, but it did. I don't have any slippery issues.. but then.. this Spigen Slim Armor looks pretty darn good!

Besides the looks, my screen has some very minor scratches already.. but I still like it naked. G2 seems like a keeper for a while and I'm thinking the added protection could help.

ps: wonder why they missed out on orange. It would have looked good! :D
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
I guess if you're swiping to/from the edges of the screen often you would feel the raised edge from the case.

I never noticed it though until you mentioned it probably because I don't usually swipe around the edges of the phone.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
How is swiping from the sides of the phone on the DualPro working out for you? Poster below said that the case gets in the way for the Spigen. Is the DualPro supposed to offer more protection than the Spigen?
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
I haven't seen the product first-hand but from the pictures and materials, I would expect it to provide at least the same amount of protection (but maybe more) than the Spigen case. Silicone generally does a good job absorbing impacts. The raised edges that go around the face of the phone with the DualPro also look larger so it may help protect the phone better on corner/face drops.

If you really want a case that protects all around though, I think you need one like the Spigen Slim Armor View. They don't make one for the G2 but I don't think I'd be interested anyways since I don't like flip-open cases. To me, the Spigen Spigen Slim Armor is a good blend of function and protection.
[G2 Accessories] rebelx:
Do you think that tempered glass screen protectors can fit on the screen with the DualPro? Can't tell from the pictures if there's enough room on the bezels with the DualPro on there (seems like with the Spigen, they do seem compatible).
[G2 Accessories] fma965:
Can any one tell me the measurements of the phone with the case on please, thanks.

[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
Haha, not sure. Maybe it's better to go ask in the DualPro thread to see which screen protectors they're using with that case.

I don't have my digital caliper with me but I got the following measurements using a ruler.

Length: 144.5mm

Width: 77.8mm

Height (thickness): 12.5mm

Which screen protector do you have that your Incipio case is lifting it (is the the DualPro)? I literally just got that case in the mail today and was going to also buy a tempered glass screen protector.
[G2 Accessories] jsanta11:
Am not sure the name but it's the version T-Mobile sells at the store but from the reviews I read about the incipio after I got it bc of the soft shell everyone was complaining about lifting at the bottom of the screen protector..

Is the headphone port on the bottom perfect? Mine is way off-center to the point that anymore and it would become hard to plug in headphones.

Hello G2 friends ;)

Where to buy in Europe for the best price and the latest revision in the cut outs?

One question ... you guys talk about a microphone hole near the flash ... but I don't see that hole in the D802 model??! Is it here?
[G2 Accessories] jellybear456:
I have had the SlimArmor case in red for almost a month now and i have to say I love it. All cutouts are perfect, meaning PERFECT, and is still in great condition. Have it matched with Spigen UltraClear Screen Protector(only ones i use) and its amazing.

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:53 AM ----------

The hole near the flash is a noise canceling mic i believe, but it is on all the US variants i also believe? I read somewhere that the D802 didnt have the noise canceling mic. But i bought mine on amazon and all of the holes were cut flawlessly.
[G2 Accessories] :
Does this case have a lanyard hole?

Does anyone know if there's going to be a View edition of this case?
[G2 Accessories] Ferio12:
Hi All!

I'm thinking about buying the case but i'm wondering as there are different colors, which one would be the best fit for a white G2?
[G2 Accessories] yyz123:
The case I got does have a 3rd hole for the audio zoom by the flash/camera.

But in regards to the D802, I'm not sure if you have that mic. The Canadian D803 and D801 variants don't have it. :(

Nope, no lanyard hole. No clue on the view edition, Spigen is developing one for the Note 3 but no word on the LG G2.

Here's the thread for the Spigen Slim Armor View: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2533534

Since the case completely wraps the phone other than the screen, I don't think you really need to take the colour of your phone into consideration when choosing the case.
