I ordered both skins the same night, the 29th. The ExoSkin arrived much earlier so...:

The ExoSkin arrived in 2 days, one earlier that the estimated date.

I thought I ordered a wood but black carbon arrived. (I did NOT check before finalizing the order). Something that's not unheard of apparently.

The return process is straight forward BUT, a 10 day turn around plus shipping was too much so I just sucked it up and installed it.

The rear cover has an "elaborate" cut. Installation was incredibly easy, and it goes on dry. Directions say to use a heat gun or hair dryer.

Once installed, using the hair dryer to warm the skin around the edges, the rear is covered very well. *One note: the cut-outs for the camera LED and "LG" and logo are very precise. They are lined up perfectly. So is the IR and both microphone holes BUT the skin is a tad off. About 1mm.

I'm happy with it but there's no screen protector which is going to add to the total cost.

Now the XtremeGuard. I just checked the website and the protector that is installed to my wife's phone is still listed as "pending".

it was shipped on the 30th so it probably arrived and have been in my mail box since the 2nd.

The XtremeGuard seems simpler. It comes with a small microfiber cloth, which I'll keep for quick wipes of my lens before photos, a cardboard squeegee, rear protector, screen cover and instructions. It goes on wet.

I've been installing protectors before hardened glass so I hit the protectors lightli with Windex, apply, then squeegee. I also used the hair dryer to get the edges to stick faster. There' was no issues at all, besides me placing the front slightly off. About that screen protector, the entire area left of and including the ear the ear speaker is one cut-out.

The material is grippy but not tacky. it's about the same as Ghost Armor and that's good.

I know I said in the title "vs" but there's no vs. Both are incredibly nice, I'm happy with both, I'd use either again. It's a Win/Win!

Edit: while typing i got an email from XgearLive customer support saying they'd give 50% off on my next skin. Which will be soon!

Sorry to barge in but I thought this is pretty revelant.

Anyone tried BodyGuardz yet?

http://www.bodyguardz.com/armor-carbon-fiber-skin-lg-optimus-g2.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority

I like how the edges are wide cut to prevent any wired folding.

It's just sad that shipping is pretty pricey...
[G2 Accessories] fr4nk1yn:
I've tried numerous times and the site will not let me for one reason or another.

Just follow this link as i've now officially given up trying: https://plus.google.com/115616267169800778234/posts/4UDkLRceU7M
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
I'm looking into this option as well since they cover the edges unlike xtremeguard
[G2 Accessories] fr4nk1yn:
While the bodyguard covers better than the xtremeguard it doesn't cover as well as the ExoSkin.

I just ordered 3 more cases and another xtremeguard screen protector for my phone, (the wifes' is getting the pink skin and I'm changing to the wood).
[G2 Accessories] fr4nk1yn:
Guess what arrived tonight. There's also a white carbon that looks incredible.

My initial conclusion seems correct. The skins are tad off on the left.
[G2 Accessories] artounet:
Buy the xtremguard carbon fiber red but not perfect fit on my D802 EUR (unfortunately) but very beautiful! Bye bye glossy!

I have a white version too but for later :p
[G2 Accessories] custo:
I really like the look of the Exoskin but they only carry a Verizon version...
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Nice! Just got my bodyguardz & will do a full review in a separate thread. How is the texture on the red carbon fiber? Is it slippery or a good grip like surface?

Had one from Bestskinever on my Galaxy S2 2 years ago. Loved it but it was sort of slippery & the white got dirty fast
[G2 Accessories] fr4nk1yn:
The wood is incredible. Not only does my wife keep mentioning it I've gotten 3 separate compliments today.
[G2 Accessories] puch0021:
Damn that does look good. I wish they offered skins for the non-verizon variants.
[G2 Accessories] MasK:
My BodyGuardz armor white arrived today.

Overall I'm pleased and I like the white with the all-black face. Makes the device look slimmer. However, I feel that the edges may not last with rough usage.. in and out of pocket. I can feel the edges pretty well..

I've ordered a clear case to go round it.. that should make it last.. hopefully.
[G2 Accessories] puch0021:
I emailed them about this and I got this response today.

"Thank you for contacting us, our LG rep is currently in as we write this email to you and we are creating skins for the other G2 models. They should be available within the next 24 hours!

Thank you,

Looks like Exoskins will be available for non-verizon models soon!!
[G2 Accessories] pmoradi2002:

Don't be too depressed, some people don't have clean water to drink and make only 1USD from a full day of work.

You can get a screen assembly for $108 on ebay and replace it yourself, or give the broken phone to me for free, I could make use of it.

If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, buy a case or tempered glass screen protector next time.

Anybody having an issue of the stock email app not syncing?

I have tried clearing data and cache of the app multiple times and re-setting up my account.

The app will download my emails the first time round after setting up.

However after that, new emails won't show up even when pressing the manual sync.

I am very sure my settings are correct as the stock email app on my S4 with the same settings are working fine.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dehaani:
I had a similar problem, I couldn't get push email to maintain a connection so I only got mail when I opened the app. I had initially configured it for timed sync then changed it to push only. No amount of messing with the settings would fix it!

I wiped my phone to get the MJ1 update and now my push email works, so maybe the update or maybe freshly inputting the settings did the trick?

It's only "very simple" if it actually works, which in this case, it doesn't, necessarily. The settings on my device were correct, but that didn't stop push email from being completely unreliable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkSlatt:
Same on EE Note 3 (UK)

I have the same issue with my Note 3 stock email - multiple IMAP accounts, and only the default account syncs properly, despite ensuring all of the settings are the same for each account (I have 'push' enabled for all of them, with phone set to sync, obviously it's not THAT simple...).

It's definitely the stock email - I installed K9 and it works fine, but as mentioned above looks cack. When I re-set account settings on the stock email, it syncs properly initially, but doesn't continue to do so. I really hope this doesn't need a factory reset, just spent 2 weeks getting it set up how I like... Disappointed that something so fundamental doesn't work on a supposed business-oriented phone, not to mention continuing lack of Google Tasks integration on S-planner...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbkihong:
Any updates or did the latest FW update change anything? It didn't for me.

I have the same issue with manual refreshes on my IMAP email account. Was about to post a thread but apparently I am not alone. I have another Hotmail account on the stock mail app that have been sync'ing fine nevertheless. I don't have any problem with the Gmail app either.

For me I found 2 really dirty ways to get it to manually refresh. May not work for others.

(1) Scroll to the bottom of the mail list and drag upwards. I have a lot of residue email in my mailbox upstream so when I do that it loads more email, and by doing so it seems to get a chance to synchronize with the IMAP account. Of course, I will get more and more old email on the phone.

(2) Change the number of email to download in settings and then hit the refresh icon seems to work for me.

Both are bad. Or should we just use another email app? Any good ones to recommend?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akarora121:
Should set d email manually or should try with other account
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbkihong:
No, the problem is not with push email or automatic refresh. It's even manual refresh with the button click that is not working. And since I can get it to refresh by using dirty tricks without touching account credentials, it's not account misconfiguration either.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sodaman:
i have the same problem! :(
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SieRaybould:

Tried this, it makes no difference, IMAP is still not working.

Not quite sure why you wrote this four times, it doesn't make it any more correct or helpful.

I'm having trouble typing on my LG phone. Whenever I hit a key, it registers the key press, but the letters don't appear on screen. I have to keep closing and restarting my apps to get it to type. I did a complete factory reset and it still does it. It runs Gingerbread 2.3.6 This is a replacement phone because my last one broke and it's been doing this ever since I got it no matter which keyboard I use and it does it in any app that requires typing. I also tried clearing the data and cache. Can anyone help me with this?

Dear sir

I has android but just use vpn , so i try to set my office VPN up on it. I have the Cisco VPN client set up on my laptop, and here are the settings from it:

Host: vpn.amc.com

Group Authentication

-- Name: AMC

-- Password:xxxxxxx

Transport: Enable Transport Tunneling

-- IPSec over UDP (IPsec/UDP)

Those are really the only options there. Obviously when i connect it has a popup asking for my username and password, and once i enter those, i'm in.

Now on my Droid phone, there are 4 VPN options - PPTP VPN, L2TP VPN, L2TP/IPSEC PSK VPN, and L2TP/IPSEC CRT VPN. i'm pretty sure mine's the PSK (Pre-shared key), so i pick that, and these are the options i have:

VPN Server: (i set this as the host - vpn.amc.com)

Set IPSec Pre-Shared key: (would this be... the password? i thought so, but why does the cisco client have 'name' too?)

Enable L2TP Secret (if checked, it has the option of entering the secret)

and that's it.

I've tried everything, but can't get it to work.

best regards

It depends on what you want.. If you travel a lot or go to places that doesn't have wifi and want to use the tablet.. Then get the lte.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] fuusuke:
Exactly, it all depends on what you are going to use it for, im mostly ever going to use it whilst im in my home with WiFi, so i went went that model.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Spyr0s:
You can easilly tether you smartphone with the tablet, via BT or WiFi. I prefer BT because it's battery efficient and more discreet, so for me LTE version is just a waste of money.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] killall:
If you live in the UK, it will be long time before LTE is countrywide, so far it's only the big city's. I agree with the above posts, waste of money buying any LTE at the moment.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gorgtech:
I also own a Wifi only Tablet and don´t miss the 3G option. I bet most of you guys already own a decent smartphone and use it for tethering purposes ;) On the other hand, if you intend to use your Tablet most the time with eg. google Maps as a navigation device, a built in SIM might be more comfortable instead of having to use your smartphone for tethering ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] he_stheone64:
Sure you can easily tether with your smartphone, but that sucks battery out of your phone pretty fast, if you use that feature often. So it all comes down to the usage pattern. I travel a lot and as a result I use my Nexus 7 long periods without WiFi access, so the LTE version offers me the freedom to be online without sucking precious juice from my phone. It`s like always a matter of usage and preference. What`s a waste of money for some is freedom and comfort for other`s.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Bob Smith42:
I have one LTE and one wifi version of the tablet.

If you can afford the LTE I think you should get it. Practically, the other features of the tablet are the same so you can only benefit with LTE over wifi. The only reason I would get only wifi is if you can get it very cheap and your mobile (e.g. LTE) needs are 100% met by something else (like smartphone). If you have a big discount coupon or similar you may get the wifi version very cheap. I got $60 off my wifi version, and you might get an even better deal.

The LTE version has lots of flexibility, even if you do not use LTE now you may in another year. The LTE bands covered by the tablet are very good. If you have this version you can get a prepaid account for 30 days or longer, and stop paying if no longer needed. You can get 2GB to 4GB prepaid data plan for about $25 to $40 a month if you have no other plan sharing. With plan sharing you might add it for as little as $10 a month.

I use the LTE version for maps, quick email reading and response, and web browser search. There is no time wasted on tether configuration, management, and setup. Also, I limit LTE data over-use with airplane mode, by allowing wifi to download large files.

My wifi only tablet is best used at home where I have constant wifi available. Configuring wifi tethering while mobile is not convenient for me.

If you typically upgrade in a few years, then when selling the tablet later you will recover a higher price for the LTE version, so that offsets some initial price too.

Good luck
