Just received the cheapest possible matte TPU case from ebay, cost me less than 1€ and it's just great! Fits perfectly, there is absolutely no chance the phone will fall off from it. The cutouts are fitting perfectly (the simtray cutout wasn't necesary tho, you don't change sim card too often, or is it just me?) even though they aren't that well detailed, but hey, it cost less than 1€! The material it's made of isn't too jelly or soft, it's pretty solid piece of rubber-plastic and feels nice and not that cheap. I'm very, very pleased with this one!

I have leather flip case over one year now, protection is great but it is annoying to open the case every time I need to use the device. I’ve ordered Spigen Slim Armor this morning.

i got an otterbox commuter case so far it's pretty good. rugged but good looking
[G2 Accessories] lsalamun:
Got surprised with how well this case is made, it's plastic, rigid, and gives a nice sandstone oneplus one like feeling, also got a screen protector free. In my opinion, worth of money, it's slim also and scratch resistant (tried giving it a rub with my keys).

This is mine flip case, made by Teracell. Bought it at local store. Its really beautiful, but it has few bad sides.

- I don't like that it doesn't cover top and bottom edge of the phone

- It doesn't have a magnet for holding cover, so it usually stays open

- Its really small hole around flash and it makes flash bounce of it on pictures, making flash unusable

Cool case but won't work with the Verizon since it is a tad thicker because of the Qi Wireless Charging.

Yup, that's the only drawback, but hey, you have lollipop :D

Boxwave Secondskin in Smoke Grey. Not sure how much protection it affords as I have not dropped it yet, but it fits like a glove and is super thin and minimal.

Incipio $5 case

Newegg has this slim case for only $5.

Feels great and does the job as far as being a nice feeling slim cover. I would not trust it for drop tests, but you aren't looking for good quality drop tests when you are going for a slim cover...

When I ordered it last week they had about 18 of them instock. Seems like quite a few people have ordered this one since then.

I bought a black and a white Spigen Slim Armor case from their eBay store. $17.50 total because they were refurbished but I found no scratches or blemishes at all.

Went back and I only found the black one: eBay link

Looks great on my G2, has no blemishes, and feels pretty tough. So I'd say eBay is your best bet for G2 cases.

*edit*

Sorry I didn't see that they were sold out... but still try checking eBay!
[G2 Accessories] TC93:
It is really annoying the lack of cases for the Verizon version. I just got the diztronic case that so many like, but I don't really care for it, as its even slicker than the phone itself. It doesn't look that attractive either, but thats probably personal opinion.
[G2 Accessories] evilmrt:
Yeah, thanks...see what I mean?

I emailed Spigen's ebay store and they replied back, saying that they wouldn't have anymore G2 cases in the future.

INCIPIO Dual Pro Case is an amazing durable and premium case for At&t/TMobile/Sprint/Verizon etc.. Available in amazon.com. I m using the White color. Though white attracts dusts, it really gives nice protection and awesome feel. I also own a Incipio Feather Shine case.. Also good.

I have the Diztronic cases - they are durable and soft and cheap. Not the best case, but probably one of the best bang for the buck cases out there.

I have the Incipio Feather case, and I love it. Not the best protection out there, but slim and stylish and just grippy enough to feel safe in your hands

+1 to the Incipio Feather, nice and slim.

Slim armor all the way for me. You can find them cheaply as well ;)

I am using this armor case and it really feels secured. I have no worries if i drop it cause i feel it toughness and imo will surpass even a tough drop along with my nilkin tempered glass.

[IMG="Hybrid Armors case dual layer with stand"]http://i61.tinypic.com/2yjr08y.jpg[/IMG]
[G2 Accessories] [] AL []:
Hi there,

I don't even my G2 yet (can't wait!), but I did shop for a case also. So I thought I'd share my finding and ask for your thoughts on it...

I find that case attractive (see spoilers below) for that it seems very sturdy and practical (having a beltclip holder/cover and 2 "quickstands"). I know, it looks thick (having dual layers) and I expect the 2nd layer to feel pretty hard as well, but not as slippery and fingerprints magnet like the G2 backcover is -hopefully...

But given the G2 body characteristics: narrow side bezels, no buttons on the sides and flared back cover [thanks the the Li-Polymer battery shaped to use as much internal space as possible: LG promo claims here] - LOL, I think that this case could be fitting very nicely. And its toughness will definitely come handy with 2 young kids around (and for mountain biking rides).

I had a (3 in fact) Moto Defy before and it was though, thick, waterproof and all, but all it took was one 3-4ft drop flat on a ceramic floor to mess up the display. I had a Moto Atrix HD in which I fitted a thicker extended battery and using a thick soft gel case to hold everything in place: yada, yada ... : I'm not afraid of thick cases!!

So I first thought of getting this one:

Because it would nicely match my homemade CM11 theme (quick pic editing from the phone here: so actual display size might be off a little):

The blue accent also makes it easy to find if misplaced... But then after further looking at scenshots edits, I found that the black middle clamps of the second layer would get too distractive when watching a movie (or all the time -really):

So finally, I'm thinking the black version:

I think that there's no way that I can pass on this one - especially at a whopping 4$

(Chinese site online - I can give link later if it's OK with xda rules)

What do you think?

edit:

- sorry the long post (please dont full-quote it);

- I forgot to ask my question:

could the extra thickness of such a case affect the wireless charging in any way?

Thanks + cheers

[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Any updates?

Would love to hear how it went once you have your phone
[G2 Accessories] [] AL []:
Unfortunately no update to give you. I was waiting on my ordering ordeal wifh the phone to end before getting that case. I just got my replacement G2 a couple hours ago and it is actually worst than the previous one...

Some areas its display are not responding to touch - at least two separate zones/stripes are dead. I can't use the letter n and j on the keyboard and can barely get TWRP's bottom swiping thing to work w/o trying 10x... And there are a few dead pixels as well (an actual short line of them).

I could go on and on with this story, but let's say that I'm seriously re-evaluating my purchase now.

I love the G2's screen size and most of its characteristics, but now after seeing 3 out of 3 of those refurbished G2s with display issues (getting worst each time), I have real doubts on the touch panel design and reliability.

And for the short time I've used it again today, I still have found that the display dims too much at low brightness levels and that the phone is almost unusable under 35%(indoors). Granted that the backlight is the single most battery drain on a phone, I don't really want to have to use my phone like so (or to watch full length movies at 50% brightness). As a comparison, my Motorola barely ever sees anything above 15% brightness for perfectly clarity ondoors...

I could (will) give a link to a video review where this "little" color tweak that LG has pulled is well explained. Saying that their color saturation and gamma level dims all shadows and dark parts of the picture... and I couldn't agree more with it.

Anyhow, sorry for venting a bit here; is not the place really and I realize it. But it's been 3 weeks now since the day I should have received a working phone and I can't believe all the headaches this has brought me...

Peace out.
[G2 Accessories] tiguy99:
Trust me...I share your pain in re: the the G2's digitizer design being its Achilles heal.

I basically taught myself how to fix the screen and swapped a few different screens after dealing with warranty issues.

Long story short, when this phone works 100%, there's nothing like it.

Its fast, lasts at least 2 full days on a good battery with moderate use 1.5 to 1 full day on super heavy use (all radios active etc)

Now with that said, its your call if you want to continue on.

If you search my threads you can read my full story of how I ended up in your shoes and why I kept my phone.

For the money, the G2 still can't be beat.
[G2 Accessories] tekweezle:
i bought a cheap case with a built in battery backup and faux leather protective flap from one of those eBay sellers in Hong Kong. Took about 5-7 days to get here in NYC and cost about 15$.

the good is that the plastic cutout on the faux leather flap matches up perfectly with the clock display. it also protects me from inadvertent screen touches when talking on the phone. Also, it doesn;t take long to charge it but that might also be a bad thing. it wasn;t too expensive either. It also gives your phone some heft to it and makes it feel more solid in the hand. the on off and volume buttons were a little sticky but have loosened up with use.

the bad is that even with a reported 3800 Mah battery, it only charges my internal 3000 mah battery to about 55%. So it;s only useful for giving me a few extra hours of emergency use but doesn;t cure me of wall outlet dependency.

Also, when charging your phone battery, it doesn;t shut itself off when it;s completed or depleted so if you leave it plugged into the wall and charging your phone, it will not recharge itself so not useful if you are charging overnight and expecting to have 2 batteries charged by tomorrow morning. would have been nice if it was smarter. so i find that I have to slide the phone in and out of the case and that;s not as easy as popping the cover off a phone designed with removable battery.

Does anyone else have a better battery case like this that works differently or better?
[G2 Accessories] [] AL []:
I finally received that case a few hours ago, so I thought that I'd give an update on it. So here's my review on it keeping in mind that I had relatively limited hands on experience time.

Pros:

- The look: it fits nicely and the narrower back buttons of the VS980 makes it particularly sexy;

- The feel: I'm still not quite fully aclimated to the G2 back buttons placement, but the case actually makes it easier for me to adjust volume. The opening is narrow but fine woth my finger size at least;

- The finish: no more smudges on the back cover! Still look like out of the box after holding it while eating and all;

- The extra protection: the "super ball" principle (use in the Casio G-Shock watches for example) of multiple density/layers should definitely add shock protection and the elevated soft surroundings on the front face, should save the screen from laying flat on surfaces (and getting scratched);

- the openings: I did not test the IR remote yer, but the wholes at the bottom are well sized and placed. No problem with USB or headsets plugs and it feels that tge cade actually make the phone speaker a tiny bit louder.

Cons:

- the articulated back stand is worthless. They make this case for a variety of phones and they clearly did not test their G2 design before production. Because of the back button, that "rail" is shorter and the two parts are too short. End result: even on a flat surface, you can use it: the phone will drop with the blink of an eye;

- a little on the slippery side: the finish is very smooth and even the soft rubbery parts from the inner shell are slippery to hold;

- that back stand "rail" mentioned above is thicker than the rest, so when you lay your phone on it, it feels unstable since it now lays on a fraction of the whole phone surface. It is almost impossible to type something with one hand if your phone rest on a hard surface;

- it is not easy to slide (in/out) the phone from the belt clip holder. The screen soft surrounding parts stick to it and then move/bend the vwhole assembly (mainly the soft part surrounding the screen - but considering the G2 thin side bezels, it is understandable that the soft shell will have to be readjusted once if in while...);

- Not specific to this case only, but for sure that it is harder to clean your display and that dirt will get squeezed all around the screen. Also will get some getting used to having a thick surrounding around the display for buttons close to the sides (keyboard backspace for example).

Well, that's about all I can remember at the moment and food's ready... Feel free to ask any clarifications/further comments.

Cheers.

Hi

So I really like android, used it for about 2 years. However, I never got a chance to see how CWM worked. I did see some videos, and they went into recovery (which i know about), and selected "CWM.zip". Does just booting/selecting this affect my android device? Also, if I use "Backup and Restore", would that affect my device, if I just backup, not restore? Does it need root? Sorry I just wanted to know

Also, I looked on the fourms but could not find anything with my search. Please tell me if something like this exists Also, I already saw http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587607, but that did not answer my question. (Srry I am new the the fourms so....)

Can someone comment on the music player audio quality and how it compares to viperaudio mod? If it is subpar, what music player are you using? I'm on verizon so viperaudio is not an option until/if we get root. Thanks in advance.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobloblawsum:
My experience so far has been good. Through the 3.5mm headphone jack it plays really well through my car stereo, nice dynamic sound with pretty low distortion. More base heavy than I would go for but definitely well rounded. The phone speaker itself I find a little distorted due to the big base but it depends on your style of music and volume levels. The volume goes quite high also.

I'm comparing this to my last phone which was the nexus 5, personally I felt the nexus 5 volume was too low and lacked any base and made it sound tinny because of it. Even with viper audio I was never satisfied with it. The Moto x on the other hand got a few smiles from me with how it handled some of my favorite tracks on my commute.

The last phone I can remember really enjoying my music on was the galaxy s1 international version with voodoo music mod. That was quite a while though and honestly can't remember it enough to compare. Still, maybe that gives you some indication to what I would be looking for audio wise
