Just ordered 2 Ballistic SG Maxx cases for the wife and myself. getting tired of the bubble in the screen protector on the Otterbox Defender case.
wondering if anyone has it and whats there take on it.
I paid $68.50 total with one day shipping and will be getting it on Saturday. hopefully im not too dissapointed as i never was with ballistic.
I have their gel case on my vs980 I really like, my girlfriend has one on her HTC one as well. As far as the SG maxx goes. I know people with one for their iphones and its a pretty beefy case but they like it a lot. Let us know how it works out for you!

Post pics if you can, im also thinking about going to the SG Maxx or a Trident case(would like the Kraken just dont have it for the G2) I just dont like the gap between the actual screen and the screen protector.
will upload photos as soon as i get it but usps messed up my order. its stuck in Oklahoma for about 4 days now. its supposed to be here on the 21st. late late late. one-day shipping is bogus with usps, they are garbage deliverers. sorry just frustrated with USPS right now.
will post up pics if i ever get it.
Ballistic case have the same problem with the screen protecter on G2.
I have the case myself, and due to the floop top and buttom, it makes the screenprotectors fall off. Pretty sure otterbox should hold them down better due to not having floppy top/buttom.
But I still love my case. Fixed it with a tiny piece of tape at the top and buttom just on the edge, so the case didn't lift them up!

i will find out if there is any issues with the case tomorrow. hopefully there is none cause i really hate the otterbox case for the g2 cause the built-in screen protector is not flat on the device it has an arch. im giving my otterbox to my wife and ill be using the ballistic.

my case has no issue with the screen protector. make sure you have it on the right way. the soft sides go over the lip of the screen protector. i have no issues with slipping or fall outs. its in there pretty good.
I have the Verizon version and have had no issues with my Obliq screen protector so far. The case is a bit bulky, but that's to be expected when choosing one for higher levels of protection. Normally I would have gone with an Otterbox, but a Verizon version wasn't available until recently, so I went with the Ballistic and have been happy with it. The hard shell has a bit less grip to it than an Otterbox, but it isn't too bad. Also, the Verizon variant has protection for the volume/power buttons on the back, while it looks like the Verizon version of the Otterbox leaves the buttons exposed.

Ballistic is a better option than the otterbox. ballistics's screen protector is flush with the screen as otterbox is arched over leaving an air pocket. i actually find the ballistic thinner than the otterbox. and way nicer.

The Maxx case includes protection flaps that cover the charger and headphone ports kinda like Otterbox Defender cases and comes with a holster. The regular doesn't.

The Maxx case isn't available for the Version version, only the regular Shell Gel case.. not much of a differences unless you really want port covers and a holster. The regular should do fine.

I haven't used the Ballistic case for the G2 but I had one for my Optimus G Pro. It was definitely thick and offered great protection but I never dropped that phone with the case on it before. It should hold up pretty well considering how thick those corners are. I do however have lots of experience with Otterbox cases. I've dropped phones in those cases on concrete a bunch of times and the phone always came out flawless after but they're so ugly for this phone I ended up with a Spigen Slim Armor case. I've dropped it a few times on carpeted floors and it's fine so far but no accidents on concrete yet.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a Maxx version. I have the Verizon version of the regular one without port covers. The bottom edge is a little loose due to the cutouts for the USB, speaker, and headphones, but it isn't too bad. Otherwise, it fits great.

screen protector and holster clip.
today the screen protector is making me mad it is not responding to double tap. so in my experience a few days with the case you start running into issues with screen protector.
Anyone, please post some pics. Hated the otter box air pocket, really interested in this as an option

sorry i havent posted pics yet will do so when my wife gets here tomorrow. i finally got my screen protector working again. i love my case and phone again. dont think about it just get it,it honestly feels a lot better than otterbox. otterbox has more bulk than ballistic. my opinion....buy it, its worth it.

Has anyone found a place to buy a good case for this phone yet?
Also, I sent an email to ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD) to see if they will be getting screen protectors for the vivid...I hope the respond soon...
I got the Moshi Protector and the AGF case from ATT when I picked up the vivid, case is fine, HATE the protector, makes the screen feel and react like the old resistive screens since it by design, doesn't lay flat on the screen.
I ordered a cheapo clear on ebay(prefer the clear ones) as soon as it comes in I am returning the moshi

I had a few leftovers from SGS2, and you wont believe how perfectly they fit on my Vivid. As if they were custom made for this phone.

Not sure how they are going to work out, but I bought some yesterday.. Ill letcha know.
When i picked up the phone i got a speck case and moshi screen protector. Reason i like the moshi is because its bubble free and reusable and anti-glare. The speck case is bulky but i had one on my inspire and i dropped that phone like 20 times and not a scratch or dent
could you take some shots of the phone with the speck case. I ordered 2 white phones with the white cases and i'm hoping they are going to make the phone too big.

Do you think you might be able to post your thoughts on the speck case? I got the white phone, and was contemplating the white case, too, but was afraid it would be too thick and make the phone a bit bulky. Thanks!
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case from AT&T when I picked up the phone on Sunday. I really wish they had the black plastic case with black rubber case versus the black plastic with gray rubber case. But it is protected for now.
Still looking for a good screen protector for this though.
I got the white and black speck case its not that bulky as i recently stated but its not flimsy either like some of those ebay ones. Its rubber on the inside and a smooth hard plastic on the outside. the phone is very snug in the case you dont have to worry about over time the case looses its shape or gets looser. And not to mention if you do drop the phone at least you know they phone wont fall out of it or the back plate coming off.

I'm almost certain they will be, no worries. They've made screen protectors for far less popular phones.

How are the buttons on this case? I had Candyshell for Inspire and hated it becasue buttons were extremely stiff
just got comfirmation that my two white speck cases shipped through AT&T. Should be here tomorrow, now just have to wait for the phones to ship.
Cases and screen protector
I live in canada and really wanted to get the white speck case but when I contacted them about it they said they didn't know if they had any plans to make them, I replied with the link to the att website where its for sale and they replied with a link to the smartphone cases on their website. So helpful!
So going with the otterbox commuter and gonna get the ghost armour screen protector put on at my local mall. So far its the best I have used.

I wouldn't mind getting one of these if it were less expensive. I've looked online for about a total of 4 hours today and only found the Otter Box cases to my desire. That being said, I can't stand how bulky they make the phone feel.

compared to the otterbox case's prices to this one they are fair the only reason i dont like otterbox cases is because you have to take them apart.

I don't have nails... Bite them. (hey don't judge, it stops me from smoking )
When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...
I'll likely just cut it off.
I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)
Just thought I'd give my 2 cents on these.. I just applied the Ultra Crystal Spigen screen protector and yes they are ultra clear.. other than barely being able to see the edges around the perimeter they are undetectable. Exactly what I was looking for.. I stopped using screen protectors because they always compromised in some way the quality of the screen and I've tried a few of the most popular.. these are fantastic.. 2 for $13 and pretty darn easy to apply. The only down side from the reviews I had watched was they are harder to clean off fingerprints than the glass.
Also I received the Diztronic matte finish super thin case.. it's slightly soft and has the matte finish. I believe this is the thinnest best case that will give a decent amount of drop protection.. definitely not the greatest protection but way better than a naked phone. $9 on amazon. It seems really good quality .. the cutouts are bevelled smooth . I really like the feel of it and it barely wraps around the bezel.. so it doesn't mess with the screen protector.. which I was slightly worried about.
i concur with your feedback on the Diztronic case... i will always use a case and this one has the right balance of protection, thinness and coverage.
Just uploaded a video of a kickstand I added to the case.. it's pretty cool and cheap.. and somewhat ghetto but very functional.
>>>>>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyUyy8_mOA0
I have had a diztronic case of the same type on my Galaxy Nexus for the past year and a half and I love it. I'm dying here waiting for the Verizon G2 version to release.
I have the same brand on my current phone and love it.
I'm considering this case but I'm a bit skeptical. It appears to have a thicker area around the edges... Kinda like a bumper. Is this true? Does the front of the case cover any of the screen?
As far as the back.. It looks like the buttons are a bit deeper down because of the case. Does this make the buttons any harder to push while holding with 1 hand?
Thanks for posting this BTW

nope.. the lip where it comes over the front of the screen doesn't cover any of the screen.. it only covers the very tiny bezel surrounding the screen. As far as the buttons on the back.. they are a bit deeper down because of the case but it actually makes it easier to find them.. your fingers just drop right down in where they are and it doesn't effect pushing them at all that I've noticed. After a couple days with the phone and a day with case and screen protector I'm feeling pretty darn good about the whole deal... like I'm done. Well.. till the lg g3 comes out :good:
will this fit the AT&T version of the LG G2? mine is in the mail right now.

I believe this is different. AT&T has a microphone near the camera and this case doesn't have the cut out. I believe they are making one for AT&T.

Yeah you can see from the OP's pics that it doesn't have a cutout of the tiny mic hole on the rear casing of the AT&T version. This case is definitely on my watch list, although I have a Poetic Palette on it right now and really appreciate the minimal bulk it adds while offering basic scratch/ding protection and a better grip. So right now it's either keep the Poetic, an Incipio Feather once they're available, or this case once it's available for AT&T. That's where my thoughts are right now anyways.
For the verizon model.
First I tried the Incipio Feather. LOVED it. The slim profile, the rubbery grip, the clean look. But, it didn't offer enough protection around the ends or screen edges for me.
Cheapie on ebay as seen here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-LG-G2-V...DA_Cases&var=580258822391&hash=item4179df7db7 This one was actually surprisingly nice and one I'd used for the past 3 weeks. But....the white discolored insanely fast, it turned orange from just skin oils and such. Plus getting the top piece off if you need to remove the phone for some reason is nearly impossible without cracking it.
Enter the Incipio Dual Pro. Ding ding ding we have a winner. This thing is perfect IMO. Just enough rubber liner to cover the entire phone, and the combination around the edge of the phone screen is thin and not bulky yet plenty to offer great protection. Really really great case IMO. Think I'm done searching at this point.
Thanks! I just ordered the incipio dual pro. I was using the quick window case but I slowly began to dislike it.

Do a face drop test and let me know how it turns out. Dropped mine a few times and phone is perfect in my ballistic sg maxx. I wanted another case, one for work and one for outtings. Does it come with a holster?

The AT&T version of the DualPro is rather thin: I wouldn't have felt comfortable dropping it in that case - it didn't feel much more substantial than the Feather. nor does it have much lip to protect the front. And the AT&T one didn't come with a holster; I don't see one listed on the Incipio site for the Verizon version, so I feel confident saying that it doesn't.
Not going to drop it on it's face for no good reason. Anything can happen and I'd rather not take that risk intentionally.
The lip is rather thin, the case isn't that thick, but I don't plan to be dropping it off a balcony either. I wanted a slim profile but full coverage case for the short drops, bumps and scrapes protection. If I was truly worried about a LONG drop with screen shattering potential, then I'd definitely have considered a larger case for sure. But for my needs, the DualPro was perfect.
And it's definitely a verizon version.

I have owned both the case and phone for about 2 months. Got the case for the same reasons as Fastbird. I can also confirms the cases durability.Used by 3, 5, and 9 yo and a clumsy owner. It has been dropped on tile, hardwood, concrete including face down and both case and phone are holding up with not scratches or damage.

Nope, got black/black. Going to eventually Di-Noc in white the hard piece and see if I can wrap it tight enough around the edges to not cause installation issues, but fine with the dual black right now.
Well, mine just got a face down drop on to the wood floor from about 3 feet up, courtesy of my son who knocked if off the shelf I had it on. It's fine I'm happy to report!
Ok, for those of you who wanted a drop test, my phone got one today. From about 7 feet off the ground. I was at work at my plant, had my phone on top of my lunch bag on top of a large metal computer station next to our break area. Someone called me and the phone vibrated it's way down the bag and off the top of the work station, and according to a co-worker who was sitting there, it smacked off the corner of the keyboard drawer that was open on the way down.
I figured it fell when I walked up and saw my lunch bag half flat (it was empty, one of those soft cooler bags), and I feared the worst because it was straight down to cement.
Both the phone and Incipio Dual Pro case are absolutely unscathed. I'm sold.
so i got the Incipio hybrid one, the one you guys are talking about it, and it fell on its face.. noo problem.
i love the case but it fell off from my desk the other day and it cracked from a corner towards the buttons
honestly that's all that was, hope it'll take more accidental beatings and survive.
i really dig the case regardless.. just don't chuck it.
May I make a suggestion I hate plastic or Rubber and I love Leather and glass. For work I need to look great (I need to look money lol) and I found this company Verus from South Korea and then I found they had cases on eBay. Pros: all leather, Holds my ID and Credit Card and very well made, like VERY well made. Cons: took 3 weeks to get it.
Anyway I bought the Black and red leather one to match my watch and bought a black tempered glass screen protector they look Awesome

Hey can you post a photo or two of the Verus case that you got?
I was looking at ordering it, but was not sure if the edges came up to protect the screen if the screen is flat on a table?
thank you

Lol. Get your post count up yet? Just kidding. Welcome to the forum.
I am partial to the otterbox I modified myself
LG made my favorite case for the N5 and it looks like they've made something similar for the 5x as well.
+The official LG Snap On case is hard, thin plastic with no lip and no button coverings. With my N5, it was nearly impossible to tell there was even a case on: it's just that thin.
-The only downside was due to not having a lip, the phone can shift around a tiny bit inside the case as the lip tends to hold the phone in place. It's also a bit expensive ($20-25).
I'll post some links I've found to buy the product here but most of mine are from sites that sell to Canada. Feel free to share any links you've found to buy the case in the US or other countries as well.

It does have a small front lip, but is also ultra thin, fits tight as a drum, and at $7 delivered is dirt cheap. Nice texture for better grip as well.

For a super-thin case I picked up this one (I'd had one of these imak cases for a Razr Maxx a long time ago as well): http://www.ebay.com/itm/11181578731...49&var=410801075038&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
It does have a small front lip, but is also ultra thin, fits tight as a drum, and at $7 delivered is dirt cheap. Nice texture for better grip as well.

Nice find. Looks like one of the "quick sand" type cases. Those are great too (I had one for my N5) though the official LG case was noticeably thinner and with no lip felt like there wasn't even a case on the device.
On the up side the quicksand cases have unparalleled grip, though some people might be thrown off by the rough texture.

Interesting looking case, I think this'll be #3 or 4 i've bought, I tend to accumulate cases until I find one I like. It's certainly cheap enough to be disposable if I don't like it.
Sweet. I remember this case well (in N5 forums) but never got one they were a pita to find for me So I got the ringke slim for the N5 still have it and phone. I've gone caseless on the 5X so far I really like it but my OCD makes me buy cases....
Does it scratch the phone in any way?
I used similar case for my n5 and I remember it scratches corners when I try to put it on/off

I actually never took that case off my N5 since it was easy to forget it had one on lol. I suspect the same will be true for this version. However I could imagine scratches being a possibility since thin hard cases tend to be quite tight and and difficult to remove.
There is a techniques I've seen used to help remove those types of cases safely using a taped credit card.
Any idea where can I get this in the UK? I got the official one from google but it's just too bulky for my liking...
EDIT: Just found it on amazon UK. Here's the link for anyone interested (white version also available!):

Is this case as slippery as the phone? I normally have my phones naked but for the 5x it is slipping out of my fingers when trying to pick it up on the sides specifically and it has slid out of my pocket a few times.

Ive yet to receive mine but if it's the same as with the N5 case, the matte plastic will be almost identical to the 5x plastic.
For something with more grip check out that quicksand case linked earlier in this thread. Or if you don't mind a bulkier case I quite like the Diztonic matte texture I've been using for the last couple weeks. It's your standard case size but very easy to pick up and put down, has a better texture for gripping, and no doubt will protect well in a fall.
This thin hardshell is more just to protect from scratches and minor bumps while not noticeably enlarging the size of the device.
I got my case yesterday and finally have a chance to upload some pics. It's a little bit thicker than the original but I enjoy it just as much. The caliper I used may need slight adjustments and the bottom edges gave me the best reading but you get the idea. I really like how there's no lip on this one either.

Thank you. LG Logo looks removable. Is it?
Yes it is, doesn't look like it'll come out accidentally. It's a nice little accent that goes well with the imprint ring.

It's enough to be removable. I'll consider to buy this one. Maybe the ice one. I don't know.
Has anyone found this in white for sale in the US?

Is the official one scratching phone in anyway when you remove the case?

No scratches yet. I have a way of removing the case, same way with the old N5, hold phone with top end pressing into my waist and pry the bottom edges with my thumbnails. Slides off pretty easy. I recommend sitting down while doing it.

is imak thinner than spigen one?
i have spigen case installed. but the spigen's lower left corner has space with phone... too bad....
btw imak is really cheap... only $3 in china, so i am afraid of the protection when phone fall from hands....

None of the thin cases are really designed to protect in a drop. More just for scratches and minor bumps.
They might help a bit but even a thick case is no guarantee to protect the device in a drop.
I've personally tried the Diztronic case which is less than $10. It's made from thicker TPU material with a lip that would offer more drop protection than these thin cases.
"My hand is pretty small - but the phone is very comfortable to hold. :3 ( with and without the fusion case. )
The case made the phone less slippery though. ( which is a good thing - as it is less likely to slip out of my hand, lol. )"
I haven't seen that many cases for this phone even on ebay or amazon. Just a handful... Which ones are you using? And how do you like them? Protection and appearance...
Havent found any good on amaxon either but if u like incepio u can check out there site they got like 4 available might be getting one.

Ive moved from a z3 compact and I had the same leather case for 2 years. Great quality and decent leather. Afte comparing lots of phone sizes I took a slight risk getting this iPhone6 plus sized one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NKFZYW6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only point is I slide my Z play in downwards so it's easier to grasp when pulling it out.
I like that pouch man. Super classy. How's the fit? Is it too tight or loose?
I was expecting it to be slightly too long as the iPhone6 plus is bigger but it's perfect. After having one for my old phone the pouch never gets loose enough for it to fall out. Prefer these cases to open ones so the screen is protected as well.
Looks good man. I may pick one up! It's perfect for the off hours... I also need something for work tho.. I work in an industrial setting and while I'd love to have the phone naked I need something hardcore in case I drop it. I've seen the Incipio ones, I may get one of those I guess... You'd think with the battery life this phone has it would have been a more popular model. But it seems like not too many people are picking it up
Had to order a Nillkin case of Aliexpress, as decent cases arent available yet on local sites.
Recently ordered mine shock proof case in Ali Express
-----------------------
-UPDATE-
This is the case: https://m.pt.aliexpress.com/item/32745245264.html
It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it's pretty neat, the phone seems to fit right into the case, so it doesn't make it that extra bulky, but it doesn't also fit a Mod back there.
I don't use a case. I use protector from the Gadgetshieldz. They act as my primary protection.
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/moto-z-play-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
didn't use case only screen protector
Ended up picking this one up for now. Protects the camera well has a decent lip over the screen for a slim case and it's a sticky kinda rubbery plastic so it won't fly out of my hands at work. It was also nice and cheap with prime shipping.

Are the leds in your flash of the same color/tone?
No they aren't. One is orange the other pale yellow...
Looks the same in the pics
You can see a slight difference in the first one. Color reproduction accuracy wasn't really a concern there haha

Nillkin hard shell. Protects everything except the forehead and chin edges.

Ordered it but it hasnt arrived yet, but from the looks of it there seems to be a lip around the camera bump so should offer some protection.
