[LG V20 Accessories] synmag:
Thanks! I didn't know these cases existed

As a preface to the preface I just created an account to say thank you for this post. I am not a developer, therefore, this will probably be my first and last post :(

As a preface, I must say that I am very careful with my phones and I have never had a case or a screen protector. During my blackberry days I had a holster and since then I have had a pouch holster for one phone but only because the place where I bought the phone threw it in for free. I really appreciate nicely designed phones that look great and once I buy the one I really like (yes, looks is a big part of my purchase decision) and I would hate to cover it up in a bulky case, slim transparent cases notwithstanding. No matter how slim the case, by definition most grab the phone on the front taking away from the looks.

I am sorry about the lengthy preface(s) and you must be wondering how long the rest will be (if you don't have a big enough screen to capture the entire post on one screen) however going by the length of the original post I thought I'd take the liberty if anyone cares to read on....

I picked up my LG V20 about a week go, which by the way is the most underrated phone IMHO, and while it is a sleek and beautiful phone it is extremely slippery and does not sit in my hand securely as previous phones including my G3 which had the best feel in hand of all my phones. Therefore I had decided that it would be a good idea to protect my V20 not because I am afraid it will shatter, as drop tests show it will survive a fall from a normal height, but because I would hate the resulting scratches on the corners. Even though I am careful with my phones, I do average about one drop per year that left scuff marks which bothered me. But this is such a nice phone and the metal case is more prone to scratches that I have to do something. I did like my pouch holster however due to the slipperiness of the phone I should really find a case for it. Therein lies my dilemma. How do I protect the phone corners without covering up the face? I didn't think such a case existed. I actually ordered an encased holster for a naked V20 just before I came across your post. You kept me in suspense until I checked your linked gallery about how the face of the phone looked in the case and to my surprise, it doesn't obscure the face at all which makes me wonder what magic was employed to keep the phone in the case. In any event, when I read that you only paid $25 for it I decided to get it as that is a great price for such a nice genuine leather case.

Now here is the kicker: I am in Canada and while I knew it would cost me a bit more, as most things do, however, I was not prepared for the price tag in CAD on amazon.ca: CAD$89! Goes off to paste link....... however this seems to be an evolving story. Now when I went back, and I had to search for it again, low and behold it was CAD$29.99 with free shipping. I have noticed Amazon plays games like that in the past. I guess they bet on impulse shoppers and charge them triple.

Based on that experience I looked up the Pierre Cardin leather pouch holster which I ignored after it came up as CAD$79 alas it was still the same price. That is also a very nice case.

Anyhow, thanks again for the post as I am off to order the new dark brown case.....

WTF, when I went to check out the price again shows $88.72. Before it was $89.99. When I looked the second time it was $29.99 and I know it was the Canadian site as the US site had it for $21.99. ......sometime later after deleting it from the cart at $88.72 and searching for it again and finding it again at $29.99 I was able to add it to the cart and place the order without the price changing.

While I have seen Amazon change prices to a lower amount on subsequent searches I have never seen a price change after it had been added to my cart i.e. revert back to the higher price. :rolleyes:

Does Amazon play these tricks in the US as well or do they just think that Canadians are stupid?
