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.
Click Here For The Ebay Link
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.

I got a Terrapin leather case - very good quality but it's a little wider than it needs to be but only just deep enough. £9.99 from Amazon UK.

I just ordered one! Thanks for posting this. I was using this cheap Nokia knock-off pouch with a tab pull that was the only thing I could find at the time.
Cheers for the info. At that price cannot go wrong. No way am i meeting this baby get knocked about!!

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.

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.

I'm using one of those:
Very happy with it, especially the micro fabric cloth on the inside helps keeping smudges away
I'm using LG official plastic case with kickstand on the back.. really sexy..
I picked up a RAZR M yesterday at my local Verizon store. The case selection was mediocre at best. I purchased the matte silicone case, but I've been looking around elsewhere hoping 3rd parties will make cases for this device.
I briefly owned both a HTC One S and One X and I can say that I really liked the TPU cases Diztronic makes. I sent out an email to them asking them if they're going to add the RAZR M to their product line-up.
I've seen a few TPU cases on eBay and Amazon all by the same seller, but they don't look very good in my opinion.
Has anyone seen or heard or any other cases available?
Please share if you have!
Hopefully in the coming weeks us early adopters will have some better options.
Update: Just wanted to let you guys know that Diztronic says they have "no plans" to make cases for the RAZR M.

I did get this for my charge (slightly bigger than the M):
http://www.wirelessemporium.com/p-5...et-carrying-case-for-htc-droid-incredible.asp
although the case was not designed for my charge, it does fit snugly. so I'll assume that the smaller M will fit even better.
I found these, I've never used these sites before though:

Are the Razr M and the Photon esentially the same phone?
Edit: Nevermind that whole keyboard thing is a big difference.
Otterbox has there cases up though

Definitely strange. I called Case-Mate and they said they do manufacturer cases that they do not sell on the website. Again strange. But the customer service rep told me that it's normal and the ones on other sites are legit and authentic. Either way, I ordered one from Tessco. I'd recommend ordering it from there instead of yourwirelesssource.com. It appears they are the same company with the Tessco being the business support division and yourwirelesssource.com being the general consumer division. Better overall price from Tessco.

Here's another option:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UWAIEC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A19R3BN6ZSO9A1
Much cheaper and more readily available, although I'm sure that Case-Mate case is probably better built and stronger.
american sites are a joke,they charge us in UK over $25 for shipment and if you in USA want to buy anything from UK shops it will cost you only £3.50,stuppid,i would never recommend anyone get from them is a rip off

Looks like a nice case, but unfortunately the kickstand appears to be landscape only.

Found this:
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.php?skuno=94947
The Amzer from Fommy is generic and is tough to find at the moment. Was thinking of purchasing 30 or 50 for around $5 and reselling. Make around $5-6 a pop and it'd be worthwhile to throw a mailing label on it and give to the postman. Could do some of them as a group buy on here for cost if there was enough interest. I really want the one I link to in the bottom paragraph.
I have a similar one that has a jointed kickstand on the case itself which serves as a great fingerhold to make the phone more one hand-able. Though you could do the same with the Amzer one if you left it in the holster, screen out. It just adds to the bulk. I just had this one ship which is the same as the other amazon link, but actually in stock. Not sure how that stand will work as a finger hold, but we'll see.
This is the one I have for the S3, and I hope they make it for the Note 2 as that will definitely be my go to case with it. I get the tips of my fingers resting comfortable at the far edge of the case. Raise my hand higher and allows my thumb to easily extend to every part of the phone. It's the gripping of the far edge that makes the larger phones less one handed.
I found this one. It's not a name brand that I've heard of but it's a dual layer case with a kickstand.

If you don't need the case and are only looking for the kickstand, try FlyGrip. Mine got mailed out today, so I can't say how they work on the Note 2 yet.
However, he made videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/FLYGRIPinc
He also gives away a gel case if you want one.
These guys make great cases.

Well I'll find out by the end of the week. I just bought 100 of them. Get the itch to resell once in a while. If they're loose, I'll let you know. They've had good reviews in general. I'm using the tpu kickstand one now because it was cheap. The standard is okay. Have to trim down another invisible shield because they cut them too big and it's peeling around some of the edges. If any one throws on a protector, make sure it's cut small enough to come inside that raised glass edge.

Thanks for pics,its standard plastic case as @cickova says,I bought something similiar and its weird feeling holding in hands,I had it on 4X and I dont recommend it,its not good feeling in my hands as TPU case.
And what I meant by thin case its this and I dont think there is for our LG something like this...
I have it and i don't like it. I know that if I was to drop my phone with that thing on it would not do anything to protect it and easily break the screen by the looks of it.
If you are not interested in an useless cosmetic case then I'd recommend you this one.

I have Empire rugged case with kickstand,and i really like it,but...its fat and thick (it makes the phone 100x times more durable though),and it turns a classy phone to a sport/teen phone,if that thing even exists.Kickstand thing looks like its gonna break every time i pop it but i rarely use it so its ok.I bought it so it can protect my phone,and it does that part very well.Other parts - not so much.

I bought one for my previous phone, I thought I had bought a screen protector but when I opened the box I had a bunch of little plastic pieces. The screen protector worked but I did not cover my phone in plastic, I doubt it would protect the phone when I drop it.

4X case
I bought a Nilkin plastic case and screen protector for my 4X, found it on ebay at a good price.
Ulitmately it is down to personal choice but I wouldn't feel secure without a case of some description and a screen protector; even the most basic and flimsy models are better than none at all....:good:
