The red case is really cool, I'd like a black version of it, but only if it would protect the edges.
This version doesn't seem to..

Where did you get the back battery door?
Personally I am getting the Skinomi Carbon Fiber Skin and pimping out my Note 2

eBay. I found it through another GNII post on XDA. But just looking through eBay, you might find it. The white case I showed is very sleek and accentuates the Titanium Note 2.
I use this

* I didnt buy from that vendor, there are several on ebay
* I went over it with black shoe polish and it looks and feels like real leather.

Hi guys,
I am looking for matte skin back protector for G2, do you know where I can buy it?
Xtreemguard is good but it is shiny and fingerprints magnet.
Thanks in advance.

Skinomi has a set that comes with one. Pretty good. Back is a real pain for install because of the long radius on the back.... I ended up having to gently use my heat gun...
I bought an exoskin that came in yesterday. Haven't had a chance to put it on yet but I go the 3M Di-Noc back that looks like carbon fiber. Matte and has some texture for more grippiness.
I got the Poetic Pallette, it's not a skin but it is skinny, about 1.5mm thick. Matte black with rubberized texture,feels really good. J just barely wraps around the front edges and open at the top and bottom.very light.

Me too. The Poetic Pallette is great. Has a great soft touch feel and protects the rear without adding bulk.
I just ordered a carbon skin from Bodygaurdz. Had 1 on my old optimus g.

I put the Zagg full body screen and back protector on my Tmob G2.
It gives a better grip than the polymer back, no fingerprints and has a nice matte finish.
You can see the shiny part near the flash and lens where the Att mic hole would be.
The details of the back with the lines are still there with no shine.
Can't believe anyone hasn't recommended the Diztronic TPU case. It's great. I feel like it would protect from drops very well. Alot better than that of the Poetic Palette anyways.

I have the Exoskins black carbon fiber back and its pretty sweet. Much better than the naked back but it is still a bit slippery but it has some texture for more grippy-ness when you're actually holding the phone.
I did a review with pictures of the black carbon fiber exoskin in this accessories section if anyone is curious. I also have the dizitronic case, but I like the look and feel/texture of the exoskin so much that I'm rocking my g2 with no case. The corners will never line up completely perfectly, but that doesn't bother me personally and other people will not be able to tell unless they are looking for it.

Anyone know of a good horizontal holster case that will also fit a g2 + one of those slim cases like the Insidio feather cases?
I nee to know this too!
so far I found this pricey leather case that fits an S4 with a hard cover. Would probably fit the G2 with a hard case but it's very pricey.

Check out my post. There is a link to eBay. If you look at the pouches he offers. Just about any thing that fits a note 2/3 without a case will fit the G2 with a case I ordered 3 of them. All different. But they work with a ballistic gel case. Which is quite thick. Good luck.

So far the poetic slim hard case is great. Nice feel. Someone thought the case was part of the phone because it was slim and look natural. The case + g2 fit perfectly inside the reiko case. It's not snug and has room to breath and so makes it easy to remove the phone with the case. You could prob add a gel protector and it still fits in the case. Case was made for s3/s4. Best part of the case: the lid magnet is strong enough that the phone will not just fall out if it falls. Love the strong closure. Still waiting on the next "easy to remove" case to arrive.

So I got the second case and I love it better than the first. When I first saw it, I thought it was a weird design to have a middle just missing from the case. But when I got the case I thought it was the perfect design. No more having to push my phone up from the bottom and grabbing a piece of it to pull it out (with the idea that I might drop it one day). With this case, I just get a good grip on the phone and just pull the phone right out. Look at the third picture and you'll see what I mean. The case is built very well and rigid. I have the Poetic Palette slim case that points outwards so my phone is protected on the small piece that is exposed. The magnetic lid is strong enough that a good shake doesn't make the phone fall out. The g2 + slim case fit perfectly in this case. The amount of space available is just right to the point that the phone can freely come out the case when you pull up; now snugness, just the right amount of space. I don't know if a gel tpu case would fit with this case if used with the g2.
This horizontal pouch is my #1 for this phone; the other pouch is a back-up now. Maybe I'll get a gel tpu case to complement the 2nd case and use it when I need extra protection like when hiking or something.
Just my observation, I think any case that fits the Note 2/3 would be a just a little big for this phone. I think cases that fit the S4 would work with this phone.

Hey guys,
Really quick questions that I don't believe have been answered so far on these boards.
Going to put an order in today for a Spigen Slim Armor but have 2 questions for those with the case:
1) Is it difficult to remove the phone from the case? I like to dust my phone off every once in a while.
2) I'm eyeing the shimmering white color. Does anyone know if this is a matte or glossy finish? My initial choice was gunmetal, but my worry is scratches looking like crap on the gunmetal color after some use.
3) I've seen mention of edges being too sharp. Do they make the phone uncomfortable to use for extended periods, or is this just a nitpicky thing?
Thanks in advance!
I have there Neo Hybrid (which I love) and it will take off the back cover each time I remove the case. If the Slim is build the same, I would guess that is going to be your only issue. It does fit very snug though which I like about Spigen cases.
Yeah one youtube review I saw said that the case tends to bring the back cover with it, but this was with the leather back.
As far as I know the leather back is not suppose to be compatible with the case.
I'm still on the fence about it
I m currently using the white case and its not bad at all. It doesn't have the old Glossy finish like the one for S4 did, but its good nonetheless. Its not that hard to take the phone out of the case. And also like mentioned above it does fit pretty snug.
Thanks for the response. So is the finish on the white one semi-gloss? I'm not sure how to interpret your post
I as well have the Neo Hybrid on my G4, and she's a tight fit. i like that, but, for me, getting that last corner of the trim ring on for me was a bear. i havent taken it off since, lol.

it's not a gloss finish, it's a smooth matte finish, almost pearlescent
Thanks for all the responses guys. I went ahead and ordered the shimmery white one.
To be honest I love my diztronic TPU but for some odd reason it collects lint like no tomorrow, much more than the diztronic TPU I had for my G3.
I'm guessing it's due to the complete matte finish on the edges for the G4, whereas the G3 had glossy edges that didn't "grip" my pocket lining as much. I know it's just dust, but it's super annoying to bring your phone out to check something and be greeted with abnormal dust build up
What would you say is a good SLIM cover that will keep the footprint to minimum but will also provide solid protection?
There are so many on ebay and I can't decide.
I really liked the bumper cases by Luphie or other variants on my note 7. Its slim, protects the edges, and leaves the back bare showing gloss black or dbrand skins. I'd do the same set up if I havent invested in spigen screen protector/case combo.

I'am rocking the Spigen Liquid Armor atm. Over feel is rly good, looks are very good to, simple black texture, will fit everyone.
But kinda not liking that edges are covered too much for my taste (maybe this way they are more protected) ofc screen is not covered in any way, precision is rly good. I was used to UAG cases, they had a very minimal edge protection imo but you still kept that edge screen feeling with Liquid Armor it's gone at least for me. That's why I might get UAG Plasma some day.

Any one tried this case with Samsung Dex? Is this work8ng with dex? Thanks.
I owned a Nokia 8 a couple of years back and one of my favourite things about it was the CC-801 case - a bit like the OnePlus Sandstone case but even more minimalist with exposed sides and just a back and corner protection.
Was never able to find anything similar for my OnePlus 6 so settled on the Sandstone and was generally pretty happy with it.
However, I purchased an OP7T a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised when I came across the following on Amazon UK
OnePlus 7T Case, Ultra Slim Frosted Transparent
It arrived this afternoon and whilst it may not be quite as slim as the CC-801 or the Sandstone, I think I am going to like it a lot.
The sides are not covered but the top and the corners get decent chunky protection - much more than a Sandstone.
The black disc on the back is my own magnetic one...
Got a similar case with black edges. Feels like holding the phone naked. Btw - Where did you get your tempered glass from?
The SP is Omoton glass from Amazon UK. It is 1-2mm too wide. I complained to them and they promised to offer a smaller version in the next few days on Amazon UK.
Where did you get your case - does the back offer great grip?

Update: they have now added a newer slightly narrower version which should no longer have the halo effect.
I have ordered the newer one - and will let you know if they fixed the size issue once I receive it.
I have GESMA from amazon and it looks and feels so good. The buttons also feels nice and are well marked. The corners look like they can survive drops, but will see about that. The rear camera is also nicely protruded by a milimeter
how is the case holding up?
I recommend Caseology Vault. Perfect minimalist case that provides very good protection both front and camera cutout, looks so elegant as well

Hi, I am guessing the question was directed at me.
I did use the case for a few weeks - but I missed the OnePlus Sandstone case that I had used with my previous OP6.
So, when I managed to get hold of a Sandstone case cheap I switched to that.
Still happy with the case and it does provide more protection than the Sandstone - but I had used the Sandstone for so long I just ended up switching back.

I agree. Excellent balance of form and function and very good camera protection, yet not at all bulky. Overall, I think it's the best of the three cases I've tried.

I know this thread is dead but for future people looking for a super solid and sexy option for a minimalist 7T case that also is built from some of the strongest material on Earth we have this:
It's a full Kevlar minimalist case. Comes in two color patterns, black and gray twill and this red and black twill. I think the red and black looks amazing. It's obviously not the most protective case but when paired with a shatterproof screen protector such as the rhino shield impact skin, your phone is in good hands. Since it's kevlar, it can take some pretty devastating hits and keep your phone safe. I highly recommend, I have two of them for a backup when my first one gets too ugly from abuse.
This one:

www.amazon.com
May not be compatible with the 7t variant. I don't know this phone's product line specs. One may be released for your phone in the future if this one doesn't work for your model.
The Bolt is the only case I use on my Note 10+.
Thin, easy to hold and it has soaked up repeated falls onto concrete with zero damage.
I use Gorilla IQ Sheild for a screen protector; easy to apply, inexpensive and long lived.
Both have done well keeping my 10+ from harm without spending more than $30*.
*on my 2nd Bolt case because of repeated hard drops. No visible damage to the case but out of an abundance of caution about possible corner fatigue retired the first one. Better safe than sorry.
At $20 a pop it's a no brainer.
