I'm planning on buying a G2 (I have a 4X HD now), but even before buying it I'm more worried about buying a case that will protect the phone against most drops. My first though was Otterbox, but I read here many people saying that the screen still cracks easily in it.
I remember breaking my Galaxy S2 screen before even buying a case, so I didn't took any risks with my 4X HD (unfortunately there aren't that much cases for it). So now I'm asking you, I don't really care If it makes my phone really "bulky". Protection over all.
And that was all mates, I hope you can give me an answer.
What ever case you choose make sure it fits you model, some fit all models while other brands have a case for verizon and a different case for other carriers. I am using a Trident Cyclops (which fits all carriers) and I couldn't be happier, great blend of protection and price. As far as not breaking the screen I haven't found any case for any phone that guarantees that.

I Think this Slima Armor - I'm thinking of buying it:good::good::good:
Diztronic TPU case is pretty good for the amount that you are paying for.

It's a really nice case, but does the silicon layer attract dust? I had once similar kind of case from Seido which attracted a lot of dust on the silicon layer.
Buy a tempered glass protector too i´m using Iloome flex and it works well, i don´t lose sensibility. This one works well to and is a little more thicker .http://www.ebay.es/itm/310822519409?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649

yeah, it's a bit of a dust magnet but tolerable. Besides, its a rugged case so i wouldn't mind some dust on it
D30 in my opinion is the best.

Can I ask if the plastic of the screen protector doesn't give you a bad experience with touch screen ?
Because as I wrote here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446484&page=14
I tried the Trident Cyclops cover but the plastic of the screen protector is so rough that I decided to remove it and use instead another screen protector for LG G2.
Now I have the Trident Cyclops cover in which my LG G2 fits perfectly with not his built in screen protector but another screen protector and it is very good.
It looks like if the Trident cover was built with that screne protector I am very happy with this solution but I wnat to know also your opnion in the use of touch screen for activity like the texzting , surfind, knock on/off etc.
Thanks !

No bad experience. When i switched G2's thats the only time i had problems. But eventually tje protector worked out. Try for yourself its great
I recommend panzer glass screen protector it's a bit expensive but very protective and clear. It can be bought from smartfast.dk and shipped internationally. Event if it's cut a bit smaller than the actual screen it covers the display and doesn't attract lint.

I am using a Otterbox commuter but the defender will have what your looking for I just don't like the sensitivity of the screen protector with the defender so I use commuter with film screen protector I think I'm one of the few people who still like invisashield or xtremegaurd. FYI if you do decide to use a film xtremegaurd coupon right now is 90off2 makes it 2.20 cents for two on there website

I guess we wont be getting a Kraken case. Very disappointing...
https://twitter.com/TridentCase/statuses/459021546175352832
Any ideas on a better case that has as much protection and is as colorful/easy to slide into pocket?
Kinda sad, I had a Kraken on a older phone and love it. I might get the Ageis case for my M8. But I have the Otterbox Defender plain black with a Zagg Glass screen protector and it slides in and out of my pocket no problem. I know on otterboxes website you can choose what colors you want to combine. I kinda like the black inner plastic then the grey looking outer to give it a decent look. Although I do like the Trident Blue color a good bit also the Green color too. But I'm still thinking they will eventually make a Cyclops and Kraken for it over time.

The aegis is still pretty freakin protective. I would say somewhere between a commuter and defender from otterbox. Otherwise, I don't really know of anything that fits the bill. The defenders are not really my favorite, though the newer ones are slimmer and built better. They don't really slide into pockets the easiest, but they do come in some different colors.
I think I might get me a aegis case someday. I like my defender for now though. I'm kinda waiting to see I'd mophie or lifeproff makes a case, I'd be happy with either of them.

I got an aegis case for my HTC Evo 4G LTE and I'll never purchase another.
The case was OK but not worth the $20 (Trident).
What really disappointed me was customer service.
I recieved a screen protector that had a tear in it. I emailed and eventually called the company to try and receive a replacement.
After a week or so I got a response that they would send a replacement but they were currently out of stock but would send one in a couple weeks when they had them again.
That was a year ago.
I emailed and called a few times and was told the same thing... Out of stock.
Guess I'm used to Otterbox customer service where they go out of thier way to help.

I'm looking for a good case for the Note 4 I am waiting for to arrive.
As of now I have a Note 2 using the UAG hard case.. What are some suggestions y'all have for a case for the Note 4?? I prefer a "slimmer" design, but one with good protection. OtterBox is just too big and bulky for my taste.. I would also like to know what y'all think about screen protection.. We all know the DIY screen protection film, but what's everyone's opinion and experience with the "adhered" glass protectors, a stand alone or included with a case... Hope this makes sense.. Also hope this is in the right section, I tried "Accessories" but the forum was blank and gave me a error.

Hey Birdman. I've tried a few cases for my N4. I LOVE my current case. It's the Spigen Neo-Hybrid Metal. It's slim, while providing adequate protection and yet... looks slick as hell.
Here's the amazon link...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MA...&dpID=517hJeLjbsL&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40
as far a screen protection? I've got the Zagg Mirror Glass. It'd a Best Buy exclusive. So far... it's slick. I'm not a fan of the standard films.
Hope this helps ... and enjoy your N4!
I have the speck candyshell on mine and love it. Tech 21 are also great cases as far as being very slim but great protection. Also highly recommend a tempered glass screen protector. I got mine on Amazon for like $15 and has a lifetime warranty.
I spent a whole 7.55 each off 2 cases with swivel belt clips off ebay. Anyone who pays more than $20 for a case just isnt very bright. I dont need slim or flashy, i need protection and durability. Did the same with my nexus 5, never cracked a screen. I dont use a protector. If i drop my phone, it bounces. This case is gantastic. Its a generic 3 piece hybrid with belt clip. Purchased in 2 colors for 16.05 delivered, free shippi g, 2 cases

Yeah, I ended up buying a Caseology and the tempered glass screen protector.. The tempered glass should do me great, working on cars day in and day out really takes a toll on the flimsy screen protectors. With everyday use it gets pretty dull quickly since I can't always wash and sanitize my hands before responding to a text, etc.. My past 2 phones I've used the UAG cases and they're great, but I'm ready for a change in look. Thought about getting one if the cases (forgot which one exactly) that the guy Flossy on YouTube reviews. It was all aluminum, gold finish, bezel and back for the phone, looked so damn nice. Where he lost me though was when he said he lost a bar or 2 of reception. Still might buy one also anyway cuz it was pimpin LOL.

Flossy is great!! I always check his reviews before I buy. Thats how I got turned onto the Spigen cases.
What cases do you guys have on your G4's? I'm yet to buy one and unsure which to buy.
I was looking at this one, anyone else got it? Any good?

There is no "best case". The best case is the one YOU like. You might want to look in the accessories section theres a ton of threads already http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories
That case is great. I got a spigen crystal clear slim case. Before phones were even officially announced. Fits over leather. And you can still see it.
Checked other forums but didn't see the Accessories forum, my bad. Thanks both!!
Ive got the cruzerlite in black and i love it...Had it on a few other phones as well and i love the design and tight fit. Not sure if it works with the leather version tho

Caseology Envoy Series here
I don't usually keep a case on but felt the need to since I have no warranty nor can get insurance.
I have the black plastic back G4 BTW. It's sturdy, not heavy and believe it will protect from a drop. Fits my tempered glass screen protector. Leather feels premium, hopefully it lasts lol. Raised front lip is minimal and is a soft rubber, to hold in place when face down I guess?
I was gonna get the carbon fiber one but this red looked too much fun, like iron man lol

That's the case I have for my G4. Doesn't add much bulk and the back has a nice texture that adds some grip. I posted some pics of it on my G4 here on imgur.
Cae that fits leather back
I just received this case and it's awesome. Fits with leather back also (T-Mobile, Brown)

I have yet to encounter this issue so I can't say there's a trick to removing. I usually just start pulling it off from one of the corners and working my way to the next corner. Are you using a leather back?
Sent from my LG G4
I have the Spigen case that the OP linked to. Great case. Most Spigen's are. The only drawback to that case is that it takes the sexy back of the G4 and just makes it black. I currently have this one on my phone.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Verus®-V...d=1434571696&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g4+verus+case
Looks and protects great but the hole for the buttons on the back is pretty deep so you really have to press your finger in there to get to the buttons.
Incipio DualPro here. Had one on my G2, figured just stick with the same here.
I just picked up a Case-Mate Naked Tough for my leather backed T-Mobile version. It seems durable and I like that it is transparent.

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.
