Seidio Surface Case on Amazon

They have these on Amazon for $10 less than the Seidio site. The case and clip combo, edited cause I didn't know if people may have thought it was just the case. Just ordered the black one. I was going to wait for the cheaper platinum branded one from Best Buy but it still shows backordered on their site. I had the same case for my Captivate and Inspire and really liked it. If you need a belt clip this is a great option.

My seidio active just came in from amazon, love it, although I had to pay the full 30.

pics/review/thoughts of your active and surface cases?
I'm looking for something with at least decent drop protection. Looks like Otterbox commuter fits the bill but I thought the active looked a little snazzier.

Here's the best photos I could manage with my old LG Optimus Get ready for the long blocks of text.
Lots of pros: Case fits perfectly along with exoskeleton, no need to worry about it being loose. Makes the phone a lot easier to grip. I no longer have problems gripping the phone, in whatever position I may be standing/lying. Case made of top notch material. Exoskeleton is made to absorb shock when the phone is dropped on its corners and it seems like it does just that.
Camera is not impacted by the case at all, or at least to the point where I cant tell. Everything is cut perfectly, both on the inner shell and outer shell. Doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone itself.
Have a problem with accidently pushing the volume buttons? Not anymore. The soft inner case is solid enough so that the volume buttons/power button (which are covered) only get pressed when you want to.
Loved the kickstand the first time I tried it. I believe it was made to lock in one position. At first, I thought it was dumb that they made the kickstand open so that the charger port was pointed down towards the table but you can just flip the phone 180 degrees and use the kickstand that way too! Should be all the viewing angles you need.
Cons: The hard exterior exoskeleton does not cover the top and bottom of the soft case. I did not get the holster with it so I do not know how the holster will affect the softer plastic but it seems extremely durable. Not sure how long the kickstand will last but seems well built so hopefully the entire lifespan of my phone. Another con is that the kickstand juts out of the case a millimeter or two so that when you have the phone flat on a table, it doesnt sit flat on its back.
Does attract a bit of lint but hardly noticeable unless under bright lights, which is how I took the pictures
Overall, very nice and durable case. Wish it was a bit cheaper than 30 dollars so if you can snag a sale, good for you! Highly recommended it. I didnt even know seidio existed before reading through these forums and looking at the opinions others gave them and I am glad I went with it! Let me know if you have any other questions.

I just got my surface case in today and it is exactly what I expected. I've had the same case on my Captivate and Inspire. There are other cases I like better but the clip is a necessity for me. Fits like a glove and doesn't add much bulk at all.
It adds a decent amount of protection but don't expect Otterbox Defender kind of protection. Though I have dropped my Captivate and Inspire numerous times with this case on and never had any damage.
Pics later when I get a chance.

FYI I've had Seido Surface cases cause micro scratches on the plastic of phones before. Little pieces of dust/debris get stuck inside and the hard plastic of the phone causes it to scratch the plastic of the phone.
You can have this issue with any type of hard plastic case. I've seen it happen personally on the cheap generic Ebay cases and expensive Surface cases.

I've seen the build up but not scratches in the 3 that I have owned. But I'm also not looking for it either as I don't care if the plastic gets scratched up. I just need something with a belt clip that doesn't add much bulk and gives some protection in case of a drop.

Case Suggestions

Just got my phone back from getting the screen replaced and need to find something to put it in to keep it safe! Any Suggestions?

The Incipio Feather Case is nice. It doesnt add much bulk, but still protects well.

Why not get a good screen protector and then run without a case. When the battery door gets to the point that its no longer attractive or you want to sell the phone buy a new battery door cover. A new battery door will cost you $7-$12 on eBay.

My Nexus has survived wars and it still looks good w/o a case. Like ^ this guy said, screen protector would suffice. I hate that extra bulk in my pocket.

I've got the trident aegis black-on-black for my NS4G (which I've had since last august) and think it's great. I had never been a "case" guy, and always kept my phones bare, but this phone was just waaaaaay too slippery. The smooth plastic back is one of the worst features of this phone and makes it really hard to hold on to if you're constantly juggling stuff in your hands and on the move. I dropped it a bunch of times in the first few days I had it before I just caved and ordered this case.
It's a two-piece case with a silicone full body case that covers the whole phone, and then a hard plastic outer shell that kind of clamps around the silicone.
The silicone part is supposed to absorb shock when you drop it, I guess. It has tabs that cover the headphone and usb ports, cutouts that are perfect for the camera and speaker, and mic, and is a bit thicker on the corners, which gives me some confidence and makes me think that they thought the design through well. I've dropped it a bunch, and watched my 1.5yr old son throw it to the ground, and no probs.
The plastic part wraps around that and is supposed to be good at reducing risk of damage during "crushing" impact. All I can say is that I actually shut my car's trunk on this phone accidentally and it was absolutely fine. It gives it gives it a sleeker feel and minimizes the "ruberry-ness", too.
It also comes with a clear screen protector that is fine, and I don't even notice. Since the screen is curved most people complain about the fact that screen protectors don't stick well on the edges, which is true, but the lip of the silicone case on the front covers this area, so you don't even notice it. I also don't notice a difference when using the touchscreen.
The silicone part does collect lint, so if you're OCD about that, it'll be annoying, but the protection makes it totally worth it for me. I'll gladly pay $30 for a rock solid case that collects a little lint rather than get insurance at $7.99 x 24 months = $192 over the contract. The one thing that's important to know if you use multiple batteries like I do, is that you have to put the silicon section into the hard plastic section first, pop all the buttons out of their holes on the hard plastic case, and then push the phone into the case. If you try to put the rubber part on the phone first, and then put the hard plastic on, the fit is so tight, it's tough to get the buttons to pop out. It was pretty frustrating before I figured this out, but now it only takes me a few seconds to do a battery swap. Finally, the case does add some bulk to the phone, but I personally don't think it's all that bad. The phone feels more solid in my hand and is much less slippery.
I've been meaning to write a review for this phone in the proper thread, but I don't like to review stuff unless I've really used it. So I pretty much forgot till I saw this post. Maybe I'll go link to this post in that thread too, but if you want pics, I remember seeing them in that thread, and in threads over on androidcentral or androidforums or something. Good luck with the case search.

I grabbed the Ballistic case for my Nexus. It's pretty rugged, stays on very well, and comes off easily when you want it too. Feels very solid in your hands.

Dou you have i9020 or i9023 version?

Apex case

I purchased the Apex Hybrid Gel hard case off of Ebay for $9.95. I thought it was a neat design. By Gel, I was expecting a TPU type case with a hard plastic clip on back. Well the Gel is a soft, floppy rubber. It holds it shape but is very easily deformed when on the phone. The plastic clip on back firms it up but it is still on a little floppy in between the clips. I think it will do a great job protecting the phone but I'm concerned that the rubber will get floppier over time. The lip around the glass is a little high but it does not interfere with my thumb when I single hand the phone. I will continue to use it a few weeks an see it I like it. So far I'm about 70% satisfied with it.

I have ordered this as well. It's in transit.

Review: Rhino Holster Combo Gel/Hard Case

I purchased this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A4251PI/
Very similar to, if not the exact same case as the ones on eBay being purchased until Seidio cases come down in price. I would've preferred black, of course, but I'll settle for garish red for a few bucks less. I'm only intending to use it until the Seidio Active combo shows up at Best Buy, or pops up on Amazon for $35-40. At that point, I'll switch to black or Seidio's darker red color.
The case feels surprisingly solid for a $10 affair, with hard-shell protection on the corners and a bezel raised a little bit more than a TPU or mesh hybrid case would have. I'd still have reservations about dropping it from any significant height, but I try to avoid doing that to phones in general. The kickstand looks flimsy, but I left it down when I set the phone on my nightstand last night, and it made it through the night without falling. You do have to reach behind and snap the bar holding the nightstand out into place, or it's liable to collapse. All buttons are covered, as well as the micro USB port and the headphone jack. The S Pen and mic are left open for obvious reasons. The buttons are very easy to press, and the S Pen is easy to access, despite have the case around it raised significantly. Camera and speaker are also recessed by a good amount.
The holster is similar to the Amzer holster, one that I have serious problems with. Hint: don't waste your money on the Amzer case. It's junk, and they charge you for shipping both ways. I've paid a total of $10 in shipping to return an item I paid $15 for, as it says on Amzer's website to use a trackable method, as they're not liable for packages lost in the mail. Every time I've seen a company post that on their website, I've discovered that shipping without tracking means they mysterious never receive the package. But enough about that Amzer piece of crap.
The holster has 180-degree rotation, from sideways facing forward to upright to sideways facing back. Unlike the idiotically-designed Amzer holster, this one does not cover the home button. The phone is secured by two side clips and two clips that wrap from the side onto the bottom, giving--you guessed it--corner protection. The S Pen is largely covered by hard plastic, as opposed to the Amzer holster, which left it completely (and I mean completely, as it's not covered by the case on that model) exposed. The holster belt clip does double as a kickstand, but that's a useless feature on this case. The case does not fit into the holster facing forward, only facing in. The screen rests against a soft-lined surface inside of the holster. It's a very snug fit, and the phone is almost hard to get in and out. Pretty confident that will change as the case is broken in. Of course, my biggest issue with the Amzer holster is that it took all of three days to break. Hopefully this is not going to be a case of history repeating itself.
Long story short, it's a decent-enough case to hold you over until the Seidio cases show up at Best Buy. If that opinion changes during usage, I'll update. For $10-12, though, you can't really go too wrong with this one.

I liked the hard/gel hybrid case from this in conjunction with the Seidio active holster. It is a little thicker that the the seidio active case and has flaps to cover the usb and phono plugs. It fits like a glove in to Seidio Holster as well. Might be a good in between combo for others.

Isn't this the same case as the ones in these threads?

[REVIEW]Artech-21 Leather Case LG G4

This is my review of this case:
http://www.amazon.com/Artech-21-Pre...pebp=1434509354305&perid=0DNW5VXVBZBQGB76YN49
Build:
This case has a build quality when it comes to leather that surpasses most of the other $10 "Leather" cases you find, this is like buying a Leather Couch from a leather only store vs buying a leather couch from your big box store. Alot of leather now days is just leather with plastic backing. This is 100% Leather and can tell by the way it smells, and if water gets on its the spot gets a little darker but than goes away.
Design:
My only design flaw I could find with this case is that it doesn't hold a full size bill, and no front speaker cutout. I love that it has a thumb hole for your DL our ID, plus I have found since the G4 is curved you can really throw 2 cards in every slot and it still sits flat. This was my biggest issue with my Note 4 when I tried a wallet case it could never really sit flat, with the LG G4 most of your cards just sit in the contour of the screen. It also makes texting on a desk easy if you flip the back over, no more rocky phone.
Protection:
All in all I haven thrown my phone with this case but I do notice with the two magnet clasps it stays shut a lot better than most wallet cases I have used in the past. I would say it should protect your phone pretty decent unless you run over it with a car.
All in all I would give it a 9.5/10 with half a star missing for the no front speaker cutout.

thanks , did you leave us amazon review yet ? and any photo to amazon ?
