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.

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.

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.

I bought in local store 8€ Hama universal case, which suits O2X perfectly

Do you have a product number of the Hama case?

Hey piter glad to see u here too. The issue with your cover is that it doesn't protect the upper edges.

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..

All i see from them are TPU cases... i prefer silicone. This silicone case was perfect for the tf101.... sold it to get the nexus 7. Front cover a little more of the glass so less wiggle of the case... nice and thick but not bulky. cut out were BIG cutouts so no matter what connector or adapter was used... it was sure to fit with the case not being in the way

There are a bunch of silicone cases here. Hope this helps!

Ic. For me they are too covered. Nillkin is perfect for me as I don't take my N7 out at all. But I can see the benefits of the fosman.

Tpu cases on ebay

Just found out that there are a few cheap TPU cases on ebay now for the Note 2. They are top quality but should protect my baby for a few weeks before other ones come out

Yeah I saw a few on there the other day. What kind of case do you really want? I've been a big fan of TPU as they have protected my EVO and EVO3d very well.

I have bought these 3 cases so far to go with my WHITE note2:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261102219336?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20082258...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251150214926?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
But ultimately I will get a dual layer case such as Otterbox .....although I have taken off Otterbox on my Note 1 recently and replaced it with a TPU which makes the phone much thinner
Hopefully Otterbox and other dual layer case makers will make WHITE colour cases to go with my white note 2 :fingers-crossed:

I love tpu cases, it's all I've ever used with my n7000.
I like the Mercury brand of cases, they have a glossy and non rubbery texture.

It does come with screen protector, but because of the S-pen , I wonder how will it react.

What Kind of protection would you Choose...??

Hi guys
i am starting this thread to find out what most people prefer for protecting their precious...:fingers-crossed:
All of you could post on what reason you choose the kind of protection they prefer, so that others would have an insight on how to choose for themselves...:angel:
don't post about magnet cases/covers then ruin the s pen experience..

You could just use the Screenguard/Full cover option..
@all please do post te reason why you the specific type of case/cover..

I really hope Samsung comes out with this awesome case they have for the S3. My partner has one, and it covers the ports with a little plug and it's a very snug TPU case.

I'm waiting for the TMOUS version of the Note II to become available. If I could, I'd choose an Otterbox case for it. I've gotten great protection for my HTC HD2 using their Defender case. However, Otterbox has said they have no plans to introduce a case for the Note II "in the near future."

I promised myself that my next phone from my current s2 will be bare (caseless) besides a skin, such as Spigen steinheil glas and back protector.
On a side question, is the camera on the note 2 recessed? Ie. Not sticking out from the back cover?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Nothing at all. It's big enough as it is, but I do want an aluminium or carbon fiber rear replacement. Anyone know where I can get one?

Well I went with the book case from Samsung.
I thought it looked pretty good without adding hardly anything to the dimensions plus this way I have the screen protected and when I go to sell it for the next super smartphone, I put the original back price on and any scratches or hits on the back are instantly gone.
To be fair I don't normally like cases but this does not get in the way to much and when folded back on itself it makes a very good horizontal stand for watching videos.
Hope whatever you chooses works for you but imho whilst Otter boxes are without a doubt solid protection they just ruin the pleasure in having a slim phone.

Was waiting for that one! :cyclops:

Is there any case that is fixed on the phone only from up and down? Like this Ringke case for Galaxy Nexus? My only problem with cases for Note II is that the phone is already wide, so a case with sides fixing, make it wider.

Hard Plastic or Silicone Cases?

Most of the cases I see available for the Nexus 10 are some kind of leather, which isn't really my style
I would be interested in a hard-book like case, similar to the case that Google was going to offer, but I guess scrapped for re-design. A silicone case might also be nice too.
Something like a silicone bumper (like the Nexus 4 has) would also be very interesting imo
Perhaps we can use this thread to share links for such cases

Amazon has silicone cases here...

I used one like this when I had the Galaxy tab 10.1. I liked it a lot it provided a lot of cushion and it felt pretty nice and the tablet was very secure fitting.

I had this same silicone case but with the Galaxy tab 10.1 and the silicone covers the majority of the bezel. I'm assuming it is the same for the N10 model.

I really want a tpu case for this or some other minimal case. Leather types are fine but a tpu or seidio type would be more ideal for me. Only problem with this device is that it has those speaker grills in the way... Which creates a small problem with silicone and tpu

Maybe they look like grills. Tiny holes instead of cut out strip for the speakers. It would still retain the stability of it I think.
