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.

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.

My camera has some AF issues.

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..
Guys,
Just wanted to share this experience with you. I purchased the Scosche case for my SGT and LOVED IT (initially). This tablet held the tablet securely (initially) and the ability to mount it at different angles was GREAT for me, considering I travel a lot and spend way too much time on airplanes.
Anyway...after having this case for 3 months (the amount of time I've had the tablet)...the case grips end up stretching out and loosing their grip on the unit.
I saw other similar reviews (that the case grips didn't hold up), but ignored them, now I wish I didn't...
First, the tablet ended up slipping out of the case in my laptop bag, and being unprotected, the screen ended up scratched against the end of a power cord...
Today my SGT fell out of my hands and while the case protected it when it hit the rug (initially) the SGT popped out of the case on impact and ended up on tile, cracking the screen. Being that I purchased the unit as a 'refurb' I don't have any coverage on the unit and am now out $250.
I would recommend anyone considering purchasing this case for it's form factor/convenience SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER.
Don't be like me and think "I'm sure that won't happen to me" and end up owning at $300+ paperweight.
The purpose of purchasing a case is 1) protection and 2) convenience...and you can't have #2 w/o #1...
DO NOT BUY SCOSCHE.
just ordered the scosche foldio case a few days ago
Using a Zenus color edge case since launch and my only complaint is that I am growing tired of the color that I picked. I did use a speck candy shell for a few months but I ended up breaking part of it so I went naked for a month and eventually ended up back in the zenus...fit is still as snug as ever.

Were you talking to me? I can post pics of the 3 month old/worn out case....actually I will soon, to prove this is a terrible quality item and hopefully no-one else buys it and the same happens to them.
I just ordered a replacement touchscreen from ebay, hopefully I can repair my 'baby'...the replacement screen was $25, which seems low to me, but we'll see???
For the Zenus case, looks very nice, what is the outer border made of? rubber? plastic? I purchased the HP OEM Touchpad case for my new touchpad and aside from not liking the viewing angles or not being able to secure the flap to the device, I really do like the outer material and rubber border around the TP, hopefully this is the same type of thing?
zenus is full leather. not sure what is inside the rigid elements but it is very sturdy and covered with high quality leather.

received my scosche foldio case today. looks real nice, fits good, but i doubt it will have enough grip in a few months to hold it in the different angles.
but for now it is okay. hope i will never drop my tab as i have no warranty for it.

Mine is about 6 months old and still grips like day 1. Maybe give them a call?
Had my Targus Truss Case/Stand for 11 months now with no issues, I travel alot with it as well.

Anyone try it? is that really about to put Nexus 7 to sleep?
I ordered a blue one on the 10th and it is still showing "shipping soon." may want to try another cover or color if you need it sooner rather than later.
I ordered black and blue case too!

Waiting on the official one to be available again. I can't spend money to put my precious tablet in a case that looks like it was made for cell phones in the 90's. I don't know what it is but all leather cases just look cheap and crappy to me.

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.
Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

So you would prefer one that seems to be all plastic?

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.
I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.
+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...
I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.
Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

I actually owned the Playbook and the Convertible case from Blackberry. It was an awesome case and very well made. That's the reason why I prefer OEM. It's always better.
How are you guys protecting your screen during transportation if you don't have a cover. I agree with the comments about all the ugly cases...wow.

I am still using the plastic wrap the tablet came in when I bought the Nex7. But just ordered up a screen protector and will use that soon and no case.

As the title says, I'm looking for a bumper case, somewhat like the cases for the nobi tablet.
Any other kid proof case would do, as the tablet is dedicated to my children and I'd prefer something that will keep them from ruining it.

That's almost it, it's just the price and the lack of shipment to Israel that make it not perfect.

I recently purchased this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exact-Design-Google-Android-Tablet/dp/B008LJKTGC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_ce_2
have to say I am very pleased with it, the fit is superb, cutouts are all easily accessed. the cover is probably 1.2mm thick across the back and a little less around the edges. its edges lips aroubd the screen really well, my only concern is that it may lift a screen saver ? will find out soon enough in hand it feels similar to the textured back of the 7 itself. having had many cheapo silicon cases for phones and tabs I can highly recommend this cover :good:
If you're like me, I wanted a great rubber case plus something to store the tablet in that would be tough enough to throw around in a backpack or get wet and still keep my Nexus alive. Came up with this combo and it works great!

Pelican Products 1055CC HardBack Case with Computer Liner
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006FR1KHE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You have to take the liners out of the Pelican case to make room (they are just taped in), but in the end the tablet with the silicone case fits nicely in the Pelican, taking up minimal room and is literally bomb proof. The Bob J Gear case is by far the best silicone case I've seen. Not a cheap piece of crap. Very thick, PERFECT fit, etc. And Pelican products, if you're not familiar with them, are some of the best of their kind that money can buy.
Anyways, just wanted to post this up real quick for those that might have been looking for the same thing I was.
Let me know if you guys want me to post pics. :good:
Very nice, but you do know that BobjGear also makes tablet bags :

Yeah I saw his bag. Looks very nice, but I wanted a more compact and hard case that was waterproof that I can just toss in my backpack or luggage.
Can you take some pictures of your setup???

That would be nice, I quite fancy the pelican case for extra protection at certain times but I'm trying to work out if my Speck Fitfolio would fit in the pelican.

Just a heads up; BobjGear posted a YouTube video....
It's a drop test, admittedly not using a Nexus 7 (it's an ASUS TF300-bigger and heavier), but those of us owning his cases won't be too surprised at the results...
i really like that pelican, does it fit the nexus 7 with no case and the liners still in?
