Now that we have have all of our own forums I figured we'd get this one started.

The cases showed up for my fones the other day, the phone yesterday, but I'm still 800 miles away.

The phone in the picture is my wifes T Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in a Seidio case.

IMO the spigen slim armor case is probably the nicest, slimmest, case there is while still protecting your phone... I love mine. I bought a white phone and wanted to stay with white
[Verizon LG G3] goodfella44:
Is there a difference between international versions and the US versions with theses cases? Like not having certain holes cut out for antennae placement
[Verizon LG G3] kpantz:
Agreed. I bought the gunmetal one for my black G3 and couldn't be happier. True to form, I dropped it last night (grumble grumble) and though the case got a tiny bit scuffed on the tumble/slide across the concrete, the phone is unaffected.
[Verizon LG G3] hoola20055:
Gun metal one here too. Looks great. I still can't believe how light this phone is even with a case
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
And THIN! My G3 doesn't feel any thicker than without it, and didn't lose that great stock feel the G3 has.

I'm really REALLy digging these Hyperion Titan cases. I'll have to do a review on one in a few days. Really great fit.
[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
How much bulk does that hyperion add?
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Almost none. Let me get my calipers...
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
According to my digital calipers, the stock devices 9.76 mm. With the case it is 13 mm.

3.24mm thicker with the case. The front lip that protects the face is probably half of that.

Here's more pics...
[Verizon LG G3] aypeeootrek:
I just ordered the spigon hybrid case with the clear back. I'm pretty careful with my phone do don't really need a super bulky one. Here's 2 links for sites with various case for people that are interested.

[Verizon LG G3] bobbarker2:
Thank you for the extensive pictures. I'm debating between this one and the Spigen Slim Armor. Main thing I like in the Spigen is the little bit of plastic it puts between the volume up and the camera lens, I find myself hitting the lens by mistake a lot and I think this would help me find the volume better.
[Verizon LG G3] hawkswind1:
LG shows a nice looking Slim leather case but I don't see it for sale anywhere.

http://www.lg.com/uk/lg-g3/e_accessories
[Verizon LG G3] postal302:
This might be an unanswerable question, but how sturdy is the color on the hard frame? A long time ago I had a case like this for my S3 and within a month the color on the corners of the hard plastic was starting to wear off. I've since then only used cases where the soft portion has color and the hard part is black or white.

Otherwise I've been eyeballing the Hyperion cases since they started showing up online. I like how slim they are and how they maintain the back curve of the phone.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Thanks button is for thanks man. Not an issue, folks here help me all the time, I like to help back.

I can see a thin part like that being helpful, but this looks great. BTW, I JUST noticed there is a plastic cover on the power button and volume buttons I didn't peel off. How did they ever expect anyone to notice that? Much better now!

To find the volume button I put my finger on the power button and slide up.

Seems pretty frigging sturdy. I don't think it is painted, I think thats actually colored plastic. I've got mine in a cheap holster (see the nasty red case in my first post) and no issues at all yet. I'll keep you all up to date though.
[Verizon LG G3] truent:
Juswanted to say, I got the Spigen Slim Armor in gunmetal from amazon for 17.99 i think? came fast.. and its been great. I'm not a fan of big cases.. and this one stays pretty true to form.. I wish i could bareback it with nothing cuz the thing looks great by itself.. but, ya know :p

[Verizon LG G3] dr0id99:
So far I've tested the Spigen Slim Armour and the Cruzerlite TPU. The slim amour does do a better job of protecting the phone but I'm finding the plastic back to be to slippery for my taste one handed, where the cruzerlite doesn't slip at all but also doesn't protect as we'll.

Does no one like Incipio anymore? I can't even find a mention of them on any of the G3 subforums.
[Verizon LG G3] rhydian:
In would have gotten the duo whatever, but they weren't released when I got my phone. I got the Spigen Slim Armor and am pretty happy with it. It fits really nice and seems like good protection.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
I've always loved them, great cases. Some times they are too slick, depending on the model, but really good. I prefer Seidio cases these days, but the silicone inner on them is getting too soft these days and starts to sag, and the holsters are made of cardboard and break REALLY easily (I use a holster).

Not just that, but Seidio refuses to put the kickstand in a good place. Where they put them now it puts the bottom of your phone higher than the top, so it always rotates to landscape accidentally if you lay it flat. ANNOYING, and myself/others have contacted them dozens of times asking them to put it somewhere else.

Incipio though, yeah, great cases, unique color combos.
[Verizon LG G3] Freshgeardude:
I'm just looking for a simple jelly silicone case in black. nothing fancy. Not a TPU case either, like a soft silicone jelly case. I picked up a TPU case and its too slippery in my hand. My Galaxy S3 has had the black gel case on it since I got it and has had no scuffs on it at all.

If anyone finds it anywhere on the internet, please link it here haha I have searched amazon and ebay and all I can find are TPU cases.

This is what I had before: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00824HVNK/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm gonna go ahead an email them right now and see if they are going to make it for the phone
[Verizon LG G3] dr0id99:
Not exactly what your looking for but it is decent and doesn't slip thanks to the design on the back.

[Verizon LG G3] Freshgeardude:
Its still TPU which is what I have on the phone. I just bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KFWC2AO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for now so its a bit grippy I hope. Hopefully in the next few weeks someone in china will make what I'm looking for
[Verizon LG G3] WhiteEVO:
ZMAN, I had a Seidio for my note2, wont get another Seidio product, same issues with too soft silicone snagging on the holster clip and the kickstand being useless. 2 very important things that, if their engineers even used or tested their products, would have fixed/updated before production.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
If you need a holster, if you get a slim case, like the one I posted, it fits really well in the nice holster that came with the super cheap/red case in the same post.

Like it was made for it.

I can get some pics if you want. My total setup was under $20.
[Verizon LG G3] WhiteEVO:
Thanks, but I just ordered this. Should wk for now.

[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Ooooooooohhhhhh... Thats purdy. Exact same kind of holster though, so you get the drift.

When should that one show up? I want to know how it is (similar to a Seidio). If it is good, I may buy one of each so me and my wife can mix and match. I've never seen this brand before.
[Verizon LG G3] WhiteEVO:
Just ordered it today, so 3-5 days. I'll give a review in this thread when I get it. I wanted white/blk but I'll wait to see if I like the case before I get the blk one and mix and match.
[Verizon LG G3] Foxgguy2001:
Got me a SUPCASE LG G3 Case - Premium Hybrid Protective Bumper Case (Frost Clear/Black).

Really wanted the transparency on the back so I could insert my own graphic. Here's a quick proof of concept.
[Verizon LG G3] postal302:
Has anyone here noticed that TPU cases will still cause scratches around the edges of a phone where softer cases like silicone won't? Way back when I had my Droid Incredible, I had a TPU case on it all the time, but when I took it off I noticed a lot of scratches around the edges specifically where the TPU case made contact. You can actually see the areas where there was contact vs. none because the contact areas looked pretty scuffed up while the areas with no contact were clean and shiny.

That said, I like how slim many of the TPU cases are, but I've only put silicone cases on my phones since the Dinc (despite the extra bulk) and my phones stay pretty preserved.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

Another question about your Hyperion cases, is the inner piece soft flexible silicone or tougher TPU? Their website says both, one description says "silicone inner core" while the "About the Item" section says "2-piece plastic and TPU." Those are two very different things in my mind!
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
They are 100% not silicone. I've always liked using two piece cases with a silicon inside but it seems like everyone is making them so soft now they start gapping out like crazy after minimal use. I've had this on for weeks, no scratches.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
I've never had this problem and I've been using TPU cases and specifically Diztronic for the past ~3 years...
[Verizon LG G3] SSnova72:
The hard plastic is actually painted/coated. I used a drill bit to open up the headphone cutout and it revealed white material on the inside edge. The hard piece still feels "rubbery" to the touch however so I don't think the coating will wear off as quickly as paint on a truly "hard plastic" surface would.

Seidio surface Case & Holster

I've been using a Seidio Surface case for the last 5 yrs. I am very happy with the quality and look of these cases. They are pricy, but IMO they are worth the price. I have dropped my devices many times while using them and have never had any damage. Color options are black, red, purple and blue. It happens to have a metal kickstand for this phone.
[Verizon LG G3] phobos512:
What a useful post with pictures of your specific device. :silly:
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
If you've been using their cases for 5 years, a metal kickstand shouldn't be surprising to anyone...
[Verizon LG G3] JesseMT4G:
Currently have a Supacase Beetle Unicorn on mine with the built in screen protector that I loathe. Looks like it has water under it at all times and is impossible not to get dust in it when putting the phone in there=annoying!

Have a Spigen case on the way now. Love my wife's on her g2, so this should suffice for now.
[Verizon LG G3] mrpickem:
Otterbox Symmetry - First one piece Otter I've came across. Gives good protection but adds to much thickness for my liking. Also one of the tightest fitting cases I've ever had...a real bear getting this on or off.
[Verizon LG G3] faded03cobra:
I really like my otter box symmetry. I have a spigen as well, but had to send it back, was defective.
[Verizon LG G3] twtcad:
I have this one coming as well, I should have it tomorrow. I also ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KB8ROAU/ref=pe_385040_30332200_TE_item it looks promosing, we shall see!
[Verizon LG G3] postal302:
So I'm finally getting around to posting back in here. Here's a picture of my old dinc showing the scratches from the TPU case. The shiny spot by the power button is where the cutout was, everything else where there's scratch marks is where the case was making contact with the body of the phone.

I'm sure TPU manufacturing has come a long way since then, but I guess I'm just supersticious.

Another thing I'm considering (and wanting a silicone case for) is I will be putting it on and taking it off every day. My workplace prohibits ANY cameras and therefore camera phones are not allowed, so my old S3 still gets used every day since I've pulled the cameras from it. I pull the case off, and swap the SIM and MicroSD card every morning when I power up my S3 for work, then in the evening and weekends when I return to using my G3. It's much easier to remove a silicone case that often.

I've found and ordered one of these from Amazon. It's made in the good old USA which I strongly support! I'll post pictures when it comes in.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Thanks for sharing with us. I'd say it looks like you had a TPU case with some gaps on it and some dust or fine sand got in there and caused the abrasion you see there.

I've not had that happen on the devices I've used TPU cases on.

BTW, ordered a yellow and pink Hyperdrive case now too, as me and the wife love these cases. Will post pics soon.
[Verizon LG G3] Solar257:
I received my Symmetry case and I have to say it's like a Speck Candyshell but the rubber material seems stronger. In this way it gives me confidence it'll last down the road. One of the issues my Candyshell had, while on my GS3, were that it developed cracks around certain stress points on the case, i.e. the logo in the back and by the volume buttons. Also since the silicone portion of the Candyshell was softer, it wore away. I don't think the Symmetry is going to crack on certain parts of the case or have its silicone portion wear away... to a noticeable extent. On top of that this case is about the same thickness as my GS3 + Candyshell.

And yeah I wasn't too fond of Otter Boxes because of their unnecessary bulk, but the Symmetry is just fine in that recard. It is a tight fit but the overhanging lips around the front fit well with Verizon's tempered glass screen protector. I don't see any lifting from the protector as a result of the silicone edges digging in.
[Verizon LG G3] twtcad:
That Trident case is a pretty nice looking case.....please let us know what you think after you get it!
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
I just got the official Slim Guard case with wireless charging and it is hands down the best case out of the 3 I have (Spigen Slim Armor and Spigen Ultra Fit). Obviously it fits perfectly and since it replaces the back cover, it's super thin. The texture is different than the original cover but the rubber sides help protect the corners. I'm pairing this with a 0.3mm glass protector.

Of course this doesn't have as much padding as the Slim Armor but I think it's worth the $39.99 I paid at expansys-usa. And yes the wireless charging works. I'm not a case person so I wanted to find one where I wouldn't notice it as much. The Slim Armor case wasn't allowing my G3 to charge to 100% wirelessly (charges from 10% to 73% in 7 hours) and it just felt bulky.
[Verizon LG G3] mrpickem:
Can you poist link to the Slim Guard case with wireless charging. I'm having trouble finding it.
[Verizon LG G3] taihard:
This was posted in the LG G3 general accessories forum for anyone who likes the spigen slim armor. Probably a knock off but maybe just marked down cause it has the cut out for the korean version's antenna near the IR blaster but either way people in that other forum are saying it's nearly identical to an original spigen and fits just as great... only $3 might be worth it. I want to get it but i'm worried about how slippery it is compared to the stock back. The main reason I want a case is just because stock feels too slippery so I want a really thin case that will let me grip better while trying to stay around $5.

This Ghostek Blitz looks pretty cool but it's double what I wanted to pay. Has a built in screen protector though. Has anyone tried it? If so, how's the visibility and touch responsiveness through the built in screen protector?

I got the Incipio DualPro. I actually compared it to the OtterBox Symettry at the Verizon store, and liked the Incipio better. Somewhat smaller footprint, and feels very nice. I like it a lot. Here is the link:

[Verizon LG G3] taihard:
I ended up ordering This one which is essentially the same knock off Spigen Slim Armor but it was a few cents cheaper and comes with a free screen protector (a crappy screen protector I'm sure but a screen protector none the less). I'll report back when I get it.. I'm hoping that cut out for the antenna won't bother me too much, but for < $3.00 I have to try it.
[Verizon LG G3] mrpickem:
Thanks

$46 for black / $40 for white

Does this have the wireless charging built in. I thought so, but see no mention on their site. Is it Qi or PMA?
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
My white one shipped last week. Will know in a couple days if it has Qi a advertised.
[Verizon LG G3] bkrickles:
Just received this case yesterday and it's awesome.

It fits great, will give average protection as that's all I need and keeps the slimness of the phone intact.

Check it out, it's really very nice and only $10

The only other case I've ordered and I'm excited to receive is the verus iron shield. The reviews are pretty terrific on it and I should be receiving it on Monday. Love the phone too.

[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
I have that supcase too. Pretty happy with it so far. Not that it's bulky at all, but I'd really like something even a little thinner, I think. Good quality case and doesn't really add too much bulk.
[Verizon LG G3] oo3:
Yes, all official Slim Guard cases should have wireless charging. As long as you get the UK version, then it's Qi compatible. The Korean version has a different charging sticker (and a cutout for their TV antenna). The Expansys-usa site I linked is the one I bought.
[Verizon LG G3] JasonJoel:
I just received my white one from expansys today. Both NFC and Qi charging work perfectly on it. I don't have any PMA chargers, so no idea there.

I might pick one up too because I don't see the point in putting a protective shell over the replaceable back.

Does the frost back look good or kinda cheesy ?

I have the white g3 and that case comes in a black back too and I was thinking that might be better than frost
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
I don't think it looks cheesy. You can definitely see the back of the phone through it. Not as nice as no case would look, but think it still looks good.
[Verizon LG G3] bkrickles:
I have the black g3 and the frost looks great.

I don't know if it would look as good on a white phone. I guess that would be personal preference.

I just received the verus iron shield and have been using that for the last 2 days and it's great, but I think I might like the look and feel of the supcase better. That's why I have 2 so I can change them up.

[Verizon LG G3] bkrickles:
I just received the verus iron shield the other day and I love the look and feel.

On this thread, I believe, and elsewhere I read some people were seeing some signal degradation due to the metal frame.

This made me sensitive to this and I've been trying to see if that's the case. I was testing two nights ago in my basement and it appeared that I was getting one less bar of signal. I was pretty tired and bleary eyed so I need to try this again hopefully this weekend.

I was wondering if anyone else has checked this out and what their results were?

The case is beautiful and gives above average protection, which is more than enough for me, but if the signal is being affected that would be a dealbreaker.

On another note, I have the supcase frost/clear back case and I love that too. It's thin, light and looks terrific. It offers no better than average protection but that's ok with me too.

These 2 cases give me everything that I personally look for in phone cases.

Thanks in advance

I'm loving the Spigen Slim Armor - Clear Case. First white phone I've ever had so it's cool to actually see it.

The clear back is solid and doesn't scratch easily, very rugged. Typical Spigen quality. I'd recommend it to anyone

[Verizon LG G3] jfriend33:
Huge Incipio fan here. Generally use Feather. This time I got the cyan smoke octane. It's pretty cool. Easy to install and remove. Good grip too.

I wish we had a Seidio Convert case. They are awesome.

I was doing some browsing on Amazon. Quite a few cases have extra holes for the TV antenna. It's not always visible but make sure you read the reviews and zoom in.

I prefer to use my phones 3 ways. Always with screen protector. 1. In Incipio case. 2. For long trips or camping, a otterbox defender. That way I can clip my phone on my messenger bag strap and check in to flights quickly. Or 3. If I'm in bed, naked.

This phone is very very slippery which was why I decided a case with grips was the better option.

I do think it would be cool if they made a smart cover that was bendable like a moko or iPad smart case.
