I'd love to have a bumper for my gt540 but i fear there's no such thing.. i'm keeping my optimus in a "softbag" in order to protect the display.

I'm using a leather flip case for mine that I bought from ebay

Does any one use those plastic rubber coated hard covers (like those in the picture)?
And are they any good?

i am using it...the black one...its very good. But, it's not particularly good, because if I want to put it in my pocket, it just does not go particularly smoothly, it is still silicone.But otherwise, quite good.

you can find LG cases from ebay. There are plenty of types and all optimized for our model.
just look for LGT GT540 + type of case you are looking for.

Over the years have used lots of different cases and pouches, silicon, leather, velvet, hardplastic, and rubber had them all, and most where pretty crappy. But now bought a tpu (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes) case from ebay, and its just great makes the phone much more solid without loss of usability. doesnt protect the screen when in my pocket. but have a screenprotector for that. Only had to cut out a little piece around usbport so original usb cable would fit

leather type flap screen cover from Amazon two pounds seventy nine pence. Bargain...d
MY ANDROIDSKY

TPU covers are by far the best. Silicone are rubbish.

I bought a rubber/silicone one off ebay, for $5. Absolutely awesome. Covers everything that needs to be covered, and nothing that doesn't. It covers everything but screen, buttons, speaker and usb port. It has raised bumps where the volume, camera, and search buttons are so you can find them under the cover. I also got a nice thick screen protector. I can drop my phone from 10ft without any problems. Also, I live in China where there are a lot of pickpockets. The rubber case provides some resistance when it is in my pocket, which makes it alot more difficult to steal.

Got a leather case off ebay.

This is kinda a unless post!!!

What case is everyone using?

Hey all,
I'm struggling to find a good case for my optimus 2x here in the UK.
Currently have it in an IPODy type sock but would rather something with rubber edges that can be on the phone 24-7 rather than a leather case (though not completely opposed to this).
Seen the official LG case / kickstand isn't due out till November on play.com which is a bit cruddy.
Any option greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Really sorry, I did not buy this from Amazon, I purchased it from ebay.

It's £2.90 which includes postage and packaging.
Again, really sorry if you have already ordered from Amazon.
But to be honest, they look EXACTLY the same.
Search this on Amazon:
Brand New Black Leather Pouch Case Cover with Pull Up Cord: for the LG Optimus 2X (P990) Mobile Phone. Part of the XYLO ACCESSORIES RANGE.
Its £3.65 it's bloody amazing. Trust me. The pull out cord is ultra smooth. Its tight at first but like all leather it molds to fit after a few days.

Just remember when you get it put the HDMI side in first (it deserves more protection LOL) and give it a push with your palm. Until the phone lines up with the leather case.

Yep, but overall I'm satisfied with the quality.
I don't have detailed informations about this case, I got rid of packaging quickly, so can't provide any informations.
Is there going to be a good hardcase for the Optimus 2X/G2X sort of like the otterbox for the iPhone 4? So far I've seen plenty of fancy leather cases and gel-molds, but no actual functional hard cases that look like they're really protect the investment.
Thanks.
There is an official hard case by LG but only exspansys have it at £20. I've bought a leather case for the mean time as ill either buy the LG one from play (its 9.99 but not in stock yet) or I'm sure unofficial ones will come out soon.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Those look pretty weak, I was thinking more along the lines of something that would protect it if dropped like the ballistic-hc iphone4 case (can't use an external link yet ><)
Don't use a case. Just have an empty pocket for my phone all the time.
@Taknek I'm like you and have it as the only thing in my pocket. Problem is i know it just takes 1 twonk to knock me at the bar and its gone and will prob smash. So temp measure is the leather pouch but would prefer a 24-7 case that would absorb some shock if droped.

Pop Case and Seidio Clip
Does anyone know if the POP kickstand case will fit into the Seidio Surface holster clip??
$35 at the AT&T shop when I got mine. Seemed way too pricey so I skipped on it. Turns out they're still pretty expensive on eBay. That's too bad. I'll probably end up getting a gel case like I did for my Captivate.
Currently using this CaseMate case.
Very large case, but once I got used to it, the Optimus 3D felt too small
I like how it feels in the hand and the stand is a plus. Helps a lot, but the stand is made completely out of plastic and feels very flimsy. Always worried it might snap off if used too much.

It's bulky but it still fits in my front pocket. With my Infuse, I had a leather flip case (that the Thrill also fits in very well), I couldn't put it in my front pocket, had to go in the back.
I like the added corner protection.

I am not sure if the kickstand is made out of metal or plastic though, the picture is horrible. For people who want a more thinner case.

Same here. Also, the power button is a bit harder to push than the other case, but I like this case.
The real down side is that the kickstand makes the phone stand where the power plug is, so you can not have it plugged in to power when watching a video on it unless you hang that part over the edge of the counter\table.

What Is the Best (nice) Protectors?

I have one that's not bad and its basic rubber like, its back makes it look like the Sensation :thumbdown:lol so any opinions also if there is a great thread on this a link would be good?

Similar here, using S CURVED GEL CASE COVER FOR HTC Incredible S. Looks, feels nice and it doesn't make phone bulky. For screen I went with cheapest Matte Anti Glare protector. Survived a couple of drops (~2m) on tiles and still works like new (so I guess this would rate as Good )
Ive got the S one too, its got good grip, the sides are a bit rough so theres great grip.
It kind of breaks it up on the back too, I think it looks a bit weird without the case
It adds better feedback for the buttons too
I had This, very nice
I have the case mate barely there,I guess it won't protect very much, but it came with my phone when I bought it (used).
For screen protectors I use HTC Original ones bought on ebay.de (about 3eur 2protectors) they are nice.

It funny because I can't use the phone without it, I think it's too thin/slippery maybe because I had the phone with the cover since I bought it...
Otterbox defender.
Next best thing to Nintenium. Not cheap though.
I use the casemate barely there cover and a HTC original screen protector too. Reasonably good protection against scrapes and scratches, no extra bulk but won't protect against a hard knock or a drop I reckon.

For prospective buyers from England, I got me a" iGadgitz Dual Tone Black Durable Crystal Gel Skin" from Amazon
Cheap cheerful, pretty solid and has a screen protector included. Great!

I am using an Otterbox Commuter case.. The back is very similar to the device itself, but it adds a little bit of bulk to it.. (not much though). This case protects your phone against pretty much everything except for water (offcourse). I even dropped my phone once of the stairs and you couldn't even see it. Another good thing about this case is the fact it has two layers: rubber and a plastic case around it. The positive thing about this: the rubber also protects the earphone jacket and micro USB-plug against dust etc.. That was one of my main reasons to go with this case.. not the cheapest though, but it is excellent! Also comes with a screenprotecter btw..

Diztronic, love it!

I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.

Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

Best "grippy" case???

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...
No rush I'm just a case hoarder lol. If you find something else hit me up.

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...
I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..

That looks pretty good.. may have to get one if that one from Ebay turns out to be crap..

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to it...lol.

I actually meant (egrips) since I had seen it recommended in another thread here
Hopefully this might be some help
