Nexus 7 3G wont fit WIFI case?

I noticed that the Google store now labels the Nexus 7 cases as "wifi only". So I only imagine, they need a thicker case for the 3G version. Hopefully they come out with all the colors today with the unit instead of months afterwards.

I'm not sure if it will be thicker or not. They could have just said it's wifi only as the SIM slot would be inaccessible with the wifi's case.

I sure hope you're right. Don't want to have to buy another case for my car mount hack job.

Specs are identical 198.5 x 120 x 10.45mm for sizes so unless the back has a slightly different curve to it (Google seem to use the same images for both types so probably not) I can't see a problem getting it to fit even a clip-in case. If you have one of the slip in leather type ones then it 'will' fit fine. As said above you 'might' have to remove it to access the sim slot.

For the nexus 7 3G, they also moved the location of the rear side speaker.

Does the microphone still work?

I'd like to know as well since I bought a Speck fitfolio case for my N7 3G

So the 3g version does fit in the wifi versions case?
suprised because it says wifi only case...

is the reason that the official nexus case wont fit 3g is coz it will block the signal/antenna?

Speck will be releasing a "universal" FitFolio that will fit both the Wi-Fi only and the 3G version. No current ETA on the new case.

Wifi and 3g versions are identical with the exception of the microphone placement. That's the only reason for them being labeled WiFi only.
I have a speck fitfolio and I'm just going to drill a small hole. The worst thing that could happen is that I ruin a case that's pretty much useless anyways...

I have a TPU case from amzn which is WiFi-only, and indeed, does fit fine, except for the mic holes.
I'm trying to drill out the TPU but it is not cutting - it just wraps around every drill bit i put in there and seals the hole up again when I pull the bit out!
Any tips on drilling out TPU?
or I'll return this to Amazon (heck, it only has one small self-sealed hole) and find the right case when they come out. Still haven't found an 3G specific TPU case.

I would use a belt hole punch That is what I am going to use on my seidio case.

Make sure the tip of the bit is sharp. And I would say drill at a low speed so that the bit can catch in the TPU.

Anyone have any luck finding a good portfolio case for the GSM version?

can you use any case on the G2?

with the buttons on the back, is it even possible to protect the phone with Otterbox or something?

I see no problem with making a hole for the buttons. LG already made the QuickWindow case that will be available at start.

There will be a few choices for cases I'm assuming when this phone finally launches. If I end up getting the G2 I'll probably go with Spigen. I mentioned this case in the other accessory thread.

What about Verizon model vs the rest? Keys are much smaller (I'm gonna say shrinking the buttons was equally as lame as the front Verizon logo, hopefully cases will cover that up)
I haven't been able to find anything yet for this other than the Verizon store who said they could order one (Quick view window case) for $50+.

The VZW G2 is thicker than the others and does not work with all the other cases. You need a specific VZW G2 case. I purchased the Poetic case and it does not fit my VZW G2.

I wonder if non-hardshell cases will work... like TPU cases, which are my preference.
So many on eBay from China.
Why do I always get stuck with a phone that never gets any worthwhile accessories? First, the HTC Incredible which was launched and then immediately forgotten about. Then the Galaxy Nexus which suffered the same fate. Now the LG G2 on Verizon with its different dimensions. Makes me want to switch to AT&T before my 14-days is up.

Case that holds credit cards? (FOUND ONE!)

UPDATE!
Ordered the TUDIA case from Amazon. It does the trick. It's not the same as her old soft silicon case for the S3, but she can fit her ID and credit card under the back and removing them is not much of a hassle. Great case for $7 btw...

Hi all,
My fiance LOVES the cheap jelly, silicone case on her S3 because she can put her ID and credit card behind it and leave her purse at home. It's an ill-fitting, crappy case, but it does the trick. It's loose enough that she can just take off the top bit and remove/insert her cards.
We now both have the VZW G2 and I'm looking for something similar in use. I'd prefer she had a real, fitted case that had a CC slot or pouch on the back, but I don't know if the weird camera/button layout will allow for it. Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks!

I love this wallet case so far, but limited space
Was pretty hopeless like most Verizon LG G2 owners because most wallet cases available on online were for international, att, etc versions - other words anything than ours.
A week ago curious about what verizon stores offered and found....
BELKIN wallet case- smells like real leather, holds cards, can fold into a horizontal stand and has proper cutouts in back. And it is NOT bulky- Price was $29.99 but used company discount 20%. Love it so far but fear that the plastic tab that holds the case close may break with repetitive use but supposedly the case has a lifetime warranty. We shall see how the tab holds up.
Here are some pics.
I keep a small screen cloth in between leather back and case that holds phone.
Also able to stuff 3 cards in holder with no problem.
And the notches where the card holder is located is a notch holder for three different angles for horizontal viewing.

Just bumping the thread as I found the case that works for this. Updated original post too.

I'm looking for exactly the same thing as you... I might end up getting the same one as you. I wish the case was solid matte black. If I can't find one I'll just order this. My Sprint G2 won't get here until Nov 8 anyways.

Thank you, I have been waiting for this to come out. Price is a little high, but I still ordered one. I will post back once I get it just to let others know that if it fits the VZW G2 or not.

Shocked a little bit that more people have not been waiting/looking for this to come out. It does cost a little bit more, but I just really feel it is worth the protection of my phone.

definitely getting one! it's about damn time!

Per the Otter Box web site under Tech Specs "NOT compatible with the LG G2 (Verizon)"
I still have mine on order, so I will see if it will work on the VZW G2 and post back if it fits.

Turns your smartphone into a phablet size device!

My otterbox defender case for my T-Mobile G2 has arrived. Fully assembled and ready for anything, except a dip in the pool lol. Ill post pics when i get home from work, if anyone is interested.

My Otter Box Defender came yesterday. It does not work for the Verizon G2. The problem is with the Screen Protection on the Case. There is space in between the G2 screen and the Screen protector of the Case.
Someone else did tell me to remove the screen protector from the Defender Series Case, I did that and I am using my own screen protector and the case will work.

One more new case for LG G2, Slimmest case out there, almost no lip, rubbery coating.

I am a case hater(screen protectors too). I never had a case on any of my 50+ smartphones for the past 4 years. Every case I buy will have something that turns me off or disappoints me. After several days of use. I take it off and never put it on. It is clearly waste of money and no protection at all for the phone. Recently I cracked 2 of my phones(Note2 and G2). And decided that I will have a case. I got quick window which is ok but adds some bulk and not comfortable to use.(flip part gets in a way)
For the past several years 1 case got my attention. Ringke slim for iphone 5. http://www.amazon.com/Release-Premi...ie=UTF8&qid=1385245025&sr=1-1&keywords=ringke it was for my wife's iPhone5. (i am an iphone hater too ) it is the slimmest and most comfortable case I have ever used on any phone.(dont bring out your pitch forks and torches, it is my personal opinion)
Now that company started making cases for LG G2. http://www.amazon.com/RINGKE-PERFEC...UTF8&qid=1385245039&sr=1-1&keywords=ringke+g2
I just ordered mine and will wait to see how the quality and the comfort is.
I wanted to ask if anyone has used this case for G2 and how is the experience?
I hope somebody will benefit from this post.

Looks like that particular one only works the international variant.
I wonder how much protection it actually provides in a fall. Looks pretty sweet, though.

I had one for my g-nex and I loved it. It is very slim. It stinks they don't have a version for the Verizon g2 or I would get one.

Yeah I had case from Ringke for my Galaxy Nexus too...So I email Ringke...and they told me right now they have no interest on making a Verizon Variant for the G2 case...Sad.

Ah that sucks I would have really liked one for my g2. I remember with the g-nex enough people emailed them for a extended battery version and they actually made one. I guess that was a little different though. G-nex was a much bigger community though.

Yeah...If Verizon just kept the original model then it would been better. More choices for accessories..

I had a Ringke Slim on my Galaxy Nexus. Loved the slim profile BUT the plastic is cheap, on my GNex model, it started getting hairline cracks on all 4 corners. This was common. Ringke shipped out replacements but the replacements did the same thing.
Since them I moved on to CaseMate Barely There and the Incipio Feather.
Out of the CaseMate and Incipio, I found the Incipio to have the overall high quality award with it's super slim profile, nice soft matte feel, and super high durable plastic that is solid all the way though (not painted like Ringke).
I put an Incipio on my womans iPhone 4 and fell in love with it. Since then I've ordered me one for my old Galaxy Nexus and have a new one on my G2.
Thats my personally recommendation of all time favorite slim cases, and I've probably been there and tried them all.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will have to try one out!

I got the Poetic Palette case. It just like the Incipio Feather but I got it cause of the 3yr warranty and it cost less. Nice rubber-like feel to the back. People that see the phone think the case is the official back of the phone and love it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E5NP1KC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Better reviews than what the OP posted, if anyone wanted something to compare to.

Poetics 3yr warranty is freaking awesome but I've found their cases on the cheap side. The good side is you just email them and they send you a new one.
I haven't tried the poetic palette. Looks good. Hopefully its isn't painted like most.
-sent from my LG G2 using XDA Premium 4

The Poetic Palette case seems pretty hard for a slim case. It feels just a few mm thinner then a credit card but really hard. Not that it bothers me, but the case is hard to take off once you get it off. You have to take one corner off first, then the rest; I like that. Makes me feel that a fall won't just make the case come right off. Oh and it has that low profile when face down that you can barely see the glass isn't resting on the surface. Also gives you just enough clearance that the camera lens and power button aren't touching the surface too. Over all just happy with it so far

The palette case is either the soft touch feel (which i personally hate) or the "quiksand" texture. I would recommend the sand one personally.

I want the Feather for my Sprint variant but all they "officially" have is the Feather Shine, which is too slippery for me. I see that they make a Feather for AT&T and Verizon. I'm assuming that I can't use the VZ, but can I buy the AT&T version for my phone.
By the way, +1 on the Ringke cheap plastic. I had the exact same case for my Gnex and while I liked it, I got the four corners cracking too.

Yea you CAN'T use the Verizon one because the Verizon one has smaller buttons. I can CONFIRM that my Verizon one, the button cut out is curved for the smaller buttons.
You CAN use the one for the AT&T version or other. I'd probably just pick them on from Amazon. All the G2's are exactly the same with the exception of the Verizon buttons. Verizon really screwed up changing those. I not only like the look of the standard buttons better but I also think it would be easier to use. Different topic though.

So I ordered the Feather AT&T version for my Sprint version and it's not a great fit. It's loose in there. I have the Feather Shine made for Sprint and it's a snug fit. The Feather is a bit wobbly. So, the search continues.....
