QuickWindow not working with "NILLKIN LG G2 Fresh Series Leather Case" - G2 Accessories

Hi, i recently bought a "NILLKIN LG G2 Fresh Series Leather Case" from a vendor. Accordin to the pictures and the specs the QuickWindow feature should work, but its not... The feature is acitvated in the phones setttings but theres no reaction to the screen when i swipe in the little window. Does anyone have a suggestion how to solve this? Does only the LG G2 retail accessories work proper with this feature? Are there any custom-rom features that could solve this? Cheers!

I have the LG quick window case and it works perfectly well.
On closer inspection of the case it looks like there is a circular chip embedded within the back of the front case and I guess its that chip which then enables the software on the LG G2 to display the reduced visible window area.
Therefore I guess no other cases will work unless its the official case?

there is a setting for it under general > accessory

Make sure the embedded magnet in the cover is lined up with the left side of the screen about 1/3 of the way down, that's where the sensor is.

It's just a magnet.

BTW, get a better case (other than quick window). Just dropped mine from about 3 feet and it not only bounced, but popped off with no problem. My precious now has battle damage. On top of that, it appears to affect certain screen protectors. Even after cleaning the screen protector, the area of the window has an outline and gathers debris easier.

Well this is 10x cheaper than LGs one, just but it for the heck of it, is it a lot crappier than the original?

It really upsets me that there is no unofficial quick window case for Verizon's version.

Case works well
I picked up one of these cases from Amazon and can confirm it works as intended. The window shows the clock when the case is shut and then again when the power button is hit or a call comes in. The only downside I can see right now if the lack of a hole for the notification light. I plan on making a hole for the light when I get home with a hot nail.

Hi,
Planning to get the same case, but having second thought. Does it bother you that the case does not have hole for the notification? BTW, is the back cover feel nice, and grippy?
Thank you,

The lack of a notification hole was easy to fix, I just expanded the hole for the speaker. The material is vinyl cover cardboard? so it did not melt as expected. I ended up taking a fine blade and cutting the space I wanted. This left ugly white edges so I colored it in with a marker as well as the window edges. If you have a small craft punch it would make a nice, clean hole.
The case is better in the hand than the bare phone. The back is smooth, but seems more grippy than the naked phone. I usually folder over the case when holding it so it helps with the grip as well.

Thanks. I placed my order yesterday. Let's what I will do with LED hole. It is just weird I think that they did not consider that.

Which material is used on the back, it looks kind of grippy like the N5 back, or is it just plastic?
Also, how long did it take to arrive?

Luxury Flip Leather Case Cover Review w/ Video

Hey guys! Made a quick video review of a new case I just got in today. It's like Samsung's Flip Case, but with some added protection and a magnet that keeps it from moving and opening up when you don't want it to. Definitely recommend it!
Sorry for the random black spots during transitions, still new to this! I also need a DSLR camera and better tripod, haha.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RE9uU_tflM&feature=youtu.be
Yes, was thinking about this. Love my current Samsung Flip case but the lack of corner drop protection does make me a bit paranoid. I really wish someone made a case like this with a kickstand.

Does the back feel cheap at all? I'm kind of a branding snob. Does the generic look take away from the quality? How does the hinge hold up when you fold the top back? Does it fold back completely and easily?
Does the magnet cause s pen issues?

Doesn't feel cheap at at all, the phone looks even better in my personal opinion when it's closed, holds up well and doesn't bother me at all either while typing.

Nope, the magnet is to the side of the screen, so no interference at all. And the link to do the case is in the info on youtube. Just click to expand. I'll post it on here soon, too.
One issue, though, is it can be a bit difficult to grab the Spen, so if you use it often, that could be an annoyance.

I have exactly the same case, but I would not call it luxury, either from the price (I paid $7 on ebay) or the quality.
OP's case does looks nicer and more premium than my similar case, mine even has Samsung on the metal magnet clip on the cover, but looks and feels like total crap, tossed it to the trash can as soon as I got it.
I'm currently waiting for Amigo flip case, looks super nice from the pic, no magnet though.

There's a few other listings of "luxury" cases
that look similar but aren't the same. If it I'd the same though, I guess it could be a matter of personal preference? I personally love the soft, textured feel of the case. Feels quite nice to hold.

The only complaint with the magnet I have is that it's blue, lol. Figured it'd match the rest. Luckily it's my favorite color.
Let me know how that case goes! I'm purchasing a couple more myself(different cases).

I have the same case as the OP and didn't notice until watching his video that the blue on the latch is only protective tape. I peeled it off and now it's a nice stainless/chrome look.
I can only grab the S-Pen with my little fingernail, but it should be easy enough to cut/file/Dremel the slot a little bigger if it's enough of a problem.

Useful review. Case looks nice, but sadly, once again they forgot to have a cutout for the notification LED. I'd also prefer cutouts for better access to the volume buttons, as I use those a lot as shortcuts and when playing audio (with cases closed).
Most (or all cases ignore this however, especially the LED hole). And it should have a larger SPen cutout like this one. But looks ok for the price.

I agree, having that would be very nice. I may have my dad just got one out himself, actually. I mean sometimes its nice cause I don't always like to see if I have a notification, but for that I could just turn the case over. And with the cover I wouldn't have to worry about getting any scratches.

Quick question to the OP and the other person who owns this case. What type of corner protection does this offer? What material is used for the part that holds onto the phone? Is it a hard plastic like PC or is it a softer Silicone/TPU type material?

Mine is plain hard plastic. Part of one corner is gone due to a drop from less than two feet.
Owned this for 2 weeks until it started affecting the spen area around the magnet. no biggie if you dont use the spen just something to consider.

D802 intl + incipio dual pro

I bought this case for my LG D802 Asian, and fits perfect, the size is like my Galaxy S2 + Otterbox, less bulky than an Otter.
I like the black mate and the phone doesn´t slip so easy like when it doesn´t have the case

The second picture is with the phone near the cover, to have an idea, the G2 with this cover is near the same width of my Galaxy S2 with Otter Box and the depth is exactly the same as my S2 with Otter, the lenght is larger because the phone is larger

I bought it at ebay at this dealer:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/cellcase4u
My experience was great, my cover arrived to Mexico in 6 days, very fast.
Personally I think that any cover that fits G2 T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint will fit D802.
The customer support of INCIPIO is horrible, I dont understand why because the case is nice, not bulky like Otterbox, I think is enough to protect the phone.
Try to check at ebay or ask directly to INCIPIO where to buy the DUALPRO T- MOBILE variant, the models I saw are colored, personally I prefer black, but is matter of taste!
Okay... thanks.. will contact the seller then

Yikes, seems like the rubber portion attracts lots of dust/lint (top/bottom) of your pics. Maybe I should get the Spigen instead to avoid that.

It attacts not lot of dust, in the picture seems worse than really it is, if you pass your hand you will clean it easy.
Personally I dont like the Spigen because its bigger and the hole in the flash is so small that could affect the beam and personally I like more the black mate back of Incipio.

Good point about the flash. I read about it earlier somewhere on this forum, but I didn't think much of it. If the flash isn't properly dispersed, it may very well affect picture quality.
I'm planning on getting the white dual pro to match my white G2 that I'll be ordering soon. Hopefully the grey rubber bottom doesn't show dust/lint as much. I'm mainly concerned not with it being there, but that it might constantly be getting on my hands and may make the case slightly difficult to hold (I had a TPU silicon case for an iPod Touch one time and it was terrible with lint).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered glass screen protector there without experiencing any lifting?

Most of the case is plastic and from my point of view this case is optimal because it does not slip from my hands.
About tempered glass, totally useless in phones with Gorilla Glass and total waste of money, for one side, this type of screen (Gorilla glass) never get an scratch with normal use, for the other this kind of screen degrades the clarity of the G2's wonderfull screen.
I have a Galaxy S2 for two year and still I see one scratch, of course maybe you will found something if you look at the microscope hehehe.... but from the normal eye sight, there is nothing and this is what matter most.

Yea, most likely one doesn't need a screen protector, but even with gorilla glass, I would feel more comfortable with one on there. Never know when I may drop the phone by accident and any additional protection helps. I don't particularly like to see any scratches on my screens, so I know it would bother me if there was on there.
Also, I'd probably get a higher resale value for keeping it in better condition!

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case (all variants)

Thinking of getting this case when I get my G2 for Xmas I love the Minion and circuit board design on the back panel.
All colors available here ↓
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/lg-g2-at-t/cruzerlite-bugdroid-circuit-case-for-lg-g2-at-t
Sorry if this has been posted already.
Great case for the G2. Perfect fit, cutouts nicely beveled and smoothed. Great look. Comfortable in hand. Still slender enough to slide the phone easily into your pocket. It also looks great -- I've got the Smoke (transparent) over a white G2. Probably going to order up one of the transparent green ones, and maybe orange. Excellent design and execution -- good value.
Nice color combo you have. :good:
& for 13 bucks its a must try.

Covered buttons?
I just ordered the Verizon version of this case and like the slim fit and grippy, matte back. However, in the descriptions on Amazon and their website it says buttons are covered. I was a little bummed to find the rear buttons weren't covered like on the DualPro - makes them easier to press. Is this the way the case is supposed to be?

Aluminum Frame Review (Fits ALL VARIANTS)

So I took the plunge and purchased the aluminum frame found here:
I just got it in the mail and fitted it to my Verizon G2. Here's what I found:
1) As it's a bumper frame it doesn't cover the whole phone (duh) but the frame interior is fitted with a thin foam material to absorb shock and help with the fit. padding is found on the sides and corners of the frame's interior.
2) It comes with a screen protector. (dry apply 4h hardness aka throw away protector)
3) the lip on the front of the phone gives plenty of allowance for screen protectors but is so thin I'm afraid it may eliminate any glass screen protectors except for maybe the iLoome flex which is .12mm thick.
4) As the back is exposed I'm also investing in a body film like this.
5) Shipment was much faster than projected which is nice since it arrived on my doorstep from mainland China in only 2 weeks.
6) The fit on the front is great, but there are gaps between the back of the frame and battery plate. I was surprised by this since the VS980 is supposed to be the thickest G2.
7) as the back is open the aluminum does not interfere with my signal at all- not wifi, not 4g, nothing.
8) There is a cut out to access the Sim tray, but got to really want it out. Otherwise, you'll need to take the bumper off.
9) My phone can now stand on it's own! May come in handy every once and awhile.
Here's some pictures I'll answer any other questions you guys may have.
this is exactly what i was looking for.
Awesome! Thanks! just what I needed.

Do you screw it in?
yeah, there are 2 tiny screws at the bottom where you secure everything together. I should also mention how it actually ships with spare screws and a driver.
Bought this with a brushed steel wrap from slickwraps. Lets see how well it turns out on my black G2
Thanks for the review! Do you think you could take a picture of it standing up and also a picture detailing what you said for #6?
I bought a metal case for my last phone (Note 2) and it made reception worse. Maybe you guys will have better luck with this one
I ordered this in Champagne and the IQ Shield for my white LG G2... I hope it works out. Thanks for the review, I'll post back when I get mine (2 weeks shipping on the case)

Nice write up man.
How's your signal?

I've had it on my phone since the write up and signal is going strong. Both wifi and 4G. I'd notice a drop because I'm on this beast phone all day.

Rock on thanks bud!
thanks for taking the plunge buddy! ive had my eye on this one for a while but since i too have the vs980 i was weary of getting it as most cases stated they were compatible with the verizon model but in reality arent. i like bumpers and have a tpu that isnt made for the vs but it works. i ordered one of these and am excited to get it now. thanks!
Has anyone tried a case like this?

Although that looks nice, I believe you'll have problems with signal and GPS, etc. Maybe wireless charging too if you have the VZW one.
Good to see people are giving this bumper a try. I've bought 4 cases for the vs980. This one finally adds a premium feel to the phone. And now I have some wet apply clear body film on it I think it's protected enough.
Whoever requested pics of it standing up I haven't forgotten about you. They're coming!
I would buy this in an instant if it wasn't for the bottom right corner. That eyesore should have been smoothed off like the other 3 corners

I think it was meant to be there because that's what holds the phone up if you're setting it on a flat surface, so you can watch videos or w/e. at least, that's what makes the most sense.

I think it's where the actual screws for the bumpers go

Yup! If you look real close at my pic of the bottom of your phone you can see the screw holes.

Looking for the thinnest (ultra-thin) transparent case

I am currently using the orzly FlexiCase, but I am looking for something even thinner, and especially with a lower profile on the front bezel that protects the screen.
Think Spigen’s AirSkin for the iPhone. Does anyone know of such a case for the OnePlus 3?
I guess my ideal case would be thick enough on the back to perhaps cover the camera bump, but really thin on the sides and front.
I would be interested in the same thing.
I have bought some no-name cheap case with those attributes, but I'm willing to invest in a more expensive one as long as it is tiny.

btw, what's the dimension of OP3 in your current case (Orzly FlexiCase)?
Try the Nillkin 0.6mm Nature, i love it.

I love too but they have a too lower profile on the front bezel so doesn't protects the screen.
Do you have any picture of the nillkin nature case on the OP3? I might be interested, is it comfortable?

Really comfortable to me and it fits my needs
Pleson clear case is the thinnest I've tried, from amazon
do the buttons have 'cut outs' or are they covered with plastic?
pleson clear slim case has button covers, which are also very slim and pretty effective

so, it does not go over the screen on the front side at all?

No, It keeps below of the screen, It fails to protect if the phone rests on the side screen. You can see what I mean in the pic.

Can you post some pictures with the case on your phone for us? does it protrude in the front to protect the screen? does it cover the camera?

From what I am seeing up till now, I think the nillkin might be exactly what I am looking for. Can I ask where did you order it from?
Another question I have is for that "watermark" on the back. Is that a print or is it carved/embossed?
I really would have prefered no logos at all as I find they ruin the looks of the phone.

I bought it on the website of nillkin, but can also be purchased at Amazon.
About the "watermark" on the back, it's a print not a carved/embossed, really don't stand out too much.

Ah that's great!
i got the spigen one for approx $13 in India.
It might not be the thinnest but it unique. This is why:
It has hard plastic on the back with softer TPU on the sides and is completely transparent. It also air cushions in the corners for bump protection.
The lips on the front are adequate for the screen and on the back are enough to protect the camera bump.
I was using an Orzly FlexiCase.
I have just received another transparent flexi case bought on ebay and it is great!!
Slimmer than Orzly, it protects both camera and screen.
This is the link:

I really recommend this product!!
can you measure the phone in it?
