i need something to protect my phone until my Slim Armor arrive so i bought the Nillkin Frosted Shield for ~$12 from a friend..
i've been using Nillkin products for my devices since the last 2 years and IMO it doesn't disappoint..
fits really well on my Int. D802.. it shares a similarity with Poetic Palette Slim Hard Case, but the main difference here is that the Frosted Shield had a rough textured back.
it really helps keeping the phone from sliding off and providing better grip..
also worth mentioning is a slightly raised lip along the side of the case that grips on the edge of the screen.. so it's safe to place the phone face down on a flat surface
all the ports are accessible and it doesn't interferes with the LED flash..
and don't forget, just like other Nillkin cases, it comes with a free clear screen protector (it's a bit too wide so it must be installed dead center)
i got the red version of the case.. it looks really good on my black G2 (pics are below)

the main benefits of this case are it's textured back and the price (you got a case and a screen protector for <$10)
you can find a bunch of this on amazon/ebay/etc as low as $7
but keep in mind that this thing won't make your G2 defy gravity..
Ordered a brown one for my D803.

Scary that bottom and top is exposed. Reminds me of the pictures of the dude who dropped it and cracked right at the bottom corner with feather case.
Just got my red one today. Looks pretty cool,but it's far from protective. I bought this one just for looks and scratch protection though. It's a bit slicker than I prefer though.

What I meant by that, is that it's not going to offer much protection in a drop. It's very slim and sleek and is a nice looking case. The grip on it improves over time. But the exposed corners offer no protection. I still use it quite often though.

I've bought Nillkin products and recommended them for some time, they offer the best bang for buck around when it comes to cases. I've bought this specific model, the rubbery hard plastic case, for the Oppo Find5, HTC One (M7), Galaxy S4, Xperia S and the G2. I always went with the black one and it was good. With the G2 I went with the white one to match my phone's color. Big mistake as a few weeks later it started to pick up color and eventually it turned pink. Nothing to complain on the fitting and build of the case. It is sturdy but it's not the best protection you can get.
I hope my insight can help you opt for other color besides the white case

Well as luck would have it....I dropped my phone today with the Nillkin case on. I flung my back pack overt my shoulder and forgot I had the phone in the side pocket. It flew out and slammed flat against the concrete edge.
I thought for sure it shattered my screen. It hit the ground and made a loud smack! I picked it up and cringed.
Just a few scuffs! Obviously they're where it smacked the concrete edge. The phone functions perfectly and had no marks at all. I got very lucky. Phew.

How it looks
I am a big fan of red and black so i want to get the red one but one question how red it is? Is it bright red or it is like pinkish looking? In the first photos with the black G2 it looks really red but in other photos is like pink...maybe depends on camera.
Can you help me with this? Thnks!

I really like these cases.
Here are some pictures (sorry, I took them in low light with the Galaxy S3):
I got the black and white cases, I personally like the white one more, but the black is also nice.

The case is very sturdy and very nice to the touch. It's kind of slippery, but it feels fine in the hand.
It doesn't hinder the Spen. I've had other cases for this note, and the original, and the Spen on some cases were impossible to take out
Buttons are easily accessible and they're raised! FINALLY! They're easy and clicky! Also, it has a charm loop or a lanyard loop.
Here are some pics of the black one
The cases are easy to apply and the phone basically snaps on, it's not a tight tight fit, but it's not going to come out on its own. It's snug in there, but you don't feel bad having to press really hard or anything like that to get the case off. It basically just comes out with ease.
These cases are going to be my daily drivers for a while, until something better comes along. I usually like Samsung cases. I love the S3 cases and now the Note 2 cases. The only thing I wish it had was the silicon flap to cover the USB or the headphone jack (or both!) to not let any dust in.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading!

ZKYEVOLVED
Update: I have been getting a lot of PMs about where I got the case. I finally ordered it from here: CLICK, 15 euros.
On another thread (this thread) I had found some ebay links, and then I found some stores
All you need to do is search for the model number of the one you're looking for:
Black case: EFC-1J9BBEG
White case: EFC-1J9BWE
Pink case: I don't remember sorry!
Hope I've helped!
UPDATE: Today is my birthday, and last night I went out with some friends and I used this case. Oh my... The dark photos were ... let's just say that they could be used for Paranormal Activity 10! The white case gives off a reflection! Check this out. I don't recommend the white case if you're going to take night time pictures with flash. Without flash the pictures were fine, but the white edges of the case reflect and kind of destroyed the pictures. The reflection kind of threw off the rest of the picture (exposure, white balance, not to mention the spirit appearing at the bottom of my picture)!
Thanks for posting so many pics. I just ordered one of the white ones today and feel more secure in my decision after seeing your post. I'm currently using one of the generic "folio" type cases off of Amazon and was looking for something that was less awkward to use while I wait for Otterbox to release the Commuter/Defender cases.
It's disappointing to hear the cases are a little slippery. I was hoping for quite a bit of grip improvement.

The back plate is a slippery (and on the black, it's a fingerprint magnet, as you can see!) but the sides are rubber, and it won't slide out of your hand if you're holding the sides. But the back itself is slippery. It's plastic... Of course it is! It's SAMSUNG!

I'm glad to have helped! I'm really content with the cases. You can tell that they've been made specifically for this phone. All the details are there for the ports and buttons. It is actually slimmer than my other TPU cases.
I'm not a fan of folio cases because I don't want to cover the LED Notification light, or when it's open cover the camera! They're probably two of the most important features about this phone for me.

Looks like a winner so far.. still waiting for one to arrive. For now using the body glove case

I ordered mine on the 25th and shipped out on the 27th. I'm in SoCal USA and it shipped from Dallas, TX.
Received and agree on all points. Fit is superb. Yeah, it's a little slippery on that glossy back piece but you're going to be gripping the rubbery sides so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Those raised plastic button covers on the sides for the volume and power are indeed nice and very assuring to the touch. It's not as thick as I thought it would be from seeing the pics.
Only con is it does add more weight than I would prefer but I feel more secure with the phone inside so I can deal with it.
My new favorite case over the Nilkin that exposed the top and bottom of the phone. :victory:
mine shipped today. I usually dont use cases, but i gotta say i loved the way the samsung cases looked on the GS3, looking so thin, i barely even noticed people had cases on them when i saw people pull them out. gotta love the samsung 50% off coupon too, ordered the tectiles and charging dock and battery. ( rE155266e coupon code)
I've received some PMs about where I got my cases from. It's a company here in Madrid. Their website is www.Octilus.com, they had the cheapest price I could find and their shipping was only 1€. I'm enjoying the cases highly recommended.

I was concerned about adding bulk to this sexy device, but I can safely say its a non-issue with this..
I got my black case yesterday and I'm very pleased with fit and finish. I don't think it's possible for a case to add less bulk and provide similar protection. The hard back does show finger prints and finger oil smears very clearly but no big deal and overall looks better than the T-mobile logo IMHO. Soft sides provide good grip and the charcoal gray color looks very good with the front bezels of titanium model. It didn't seem like a tight fit going on but doesn't seem loose in use. I imagine a little looseness is a good thing when it comes to shock adsorption and I believe the rubber sides will grip well enough to prevent the phone from separating during most falls. The edge surrounding the screen is raised enough to keep it from touching a flat surface when face down but just barely. I expect the screen could make contact if the phone is dropped on an irregular surface. I have a Spigen SGP Ultra Clear screen protector for that situation and highly recommend it as well. I can't even tell it's there from looks or function. Invisible to the eye and S-pen with cut outs for camera, proximity and light sensors as well as the speaker and home button. Feels like the native glass to finger and pen might actually feel better with a very very slight and benefitial increase in drag. So slight it may be imaginary.

Ordered the black for myself and white for the wife. Still waiting on them to get here, we usually only use Speck cases but since Speck has not came out with one yet These will have to do. Plus we got each of them for 50% off for registering our phones on the Samsung site.

Anyone have any experience with this line of cases? I've used incipio products in the past and have been pleased with the quality. I'm thinking the protection level offered from the dual pro would be somewhere between a tpu case and the otterbox commuter.
I cant stand cases that have soft silicone covering the bottom where the charging port is

Silver and white shine looks great on pics. I wonder if the silicone atracts lint, I know they have two types of silicone that they use, one that attracts a loooot of lint, dermashot for iphone 5 and the one that doesnt and is tick silicone that they use on ngp line up. going to check with their customer service which one is it as I am Thinking of ordering one as well. Incipio cases are great quality.

Was looking at these last night, surprised I havent heard more of this company. The dual pro looks like a quality case. Wish they had other colors but prob gonna order one anyway
This I'll just get it from the site though, this one looks a lil pricey

The concern I have is that the polycarbonate part is not grippy enough. That seems to be the issue with both the Commuter and Ballistic. I'm still waiting Case Mate's Tough Case for the Note 2. Love the textured back that's very grippy. I do like the look of the Incipio case though!
There's a thread on this case!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051175
I have the incipio dual pro shine and I also have a seidi case with kickstand not the extreme case but the Smooth I also have a Mercury tpu and a cruzerlite of all these I like the seido for the kickstand but I will say ive seen one particular negative review on Amazon for the pink one and she rants about how difficult it is to get on lol she was doing it right it clearly states in the instructions insert the right corners first it is a lil bit weird the very first time to put on but now I take the cover off and on in no time at all I have the white note 2 and I went with the silver case with black rubber and I like this case the most its not the thinnest case but it does fit in and out of the pocket and its def not as large as the otterbox defender or the other one I forgot the name ...So yes its a great case that offers just as much protection as my cruzerlite which gets great reviews and is about as thick maybe a little thicker than the cruzerlite but not by much if your going to spend so much money on a phone wouldn't you want it protected that's why you get a few for looks one for heavier usage when your active and that's what this is im an active guy and I feel secure knowing if I drop this case my phone will def be protected sure the case will have scratches because of the metal finish but this is the best looking slightly a lil more heavy duty case ...I love it at first after one bad review I was real sceptical but now I'm very happy I purchased it .. Its my daily case unless im hanging home watching movies than I use seido for kick stand I will probably get the seido xtreme or the new cruzerlite with kickstand on Amazon for about $15 it looks great and affordable

Sorry for bad grammer its late but I was talking about the incipio dual pro shine I have it in silver and like it very much I feel the most secure and sleek at the same time ... The only down fall is your first time putting on the case but I promise its easier than putting on a speigen or inbishield screen protector which requires alot more patience the first time ...Okay so the only negative I have is the rubber part picks up pocket lint from being in my pocket but its easy to wipe off just don't wear super linty ass jeans lol

Hey guys. Been going back & fourth on whether I would fully skin my phone or go with a case. Last week I ordered the Bodyguardz full body clear skin.
Installed it last nigt
First Impressions....
You don't see the full benefit until a day or so later however my skin is already clear with no defects.
Previously had Xtremeguard which I did not like. Tried 4 of them & saw rainbow line defects on all of the screen protectors I ordered. Bodyguardz is clear & visible 8 hours after I installed with no water residue.
Texture:
The skin is smoother vs the Xtremeguard skin. Less orange peel for sure
Conclusion:
I'm satisfied with it & may leave it on for now. I do not like that the sides are not protected which you will see in the pic.
At this time, I don't think any company is making a full body skin that covers the sides from scratches. Kinda defeats the purpose huh?
Here are some pics
And some shots of the screen while on
Found out this skin can scratch. I've been using a small stylus pen for fun the last few days. Somehow between that & my business card holder, I've managed to imprint some surface scratches on the front protector
1 of them shows when the screen is on & is very irritating. Will post pics soon
Took a couple pics earlier...does anyone know if a plastic polishing compound can remove these scratches?
I always thought such skins are not really suitable for smooth operation on screen. Ya could have used a screen protector instead, but that's just my opinion.
Anyways, I ordered a carbon fibre armor white for my black G2 and intend to paste on the back only. I actually kinda like how the top edges split so you don't get funny overlaps.. but yea that area leaves unprotected..

That's what I found as well. I used the rear one as I like the rubbery non slip feel for the back, it solves the problem of the slippery plastic very nicely. But for the front screen that rubbery sticky feel was very depressing after the buttery smoothness of the naked glass. I still am in search of a screen protector with that glass feel.

I know how you feel. I like that this protector runs edge to edge but prefer the Crystal film type dry protectors. I had one on two weeks ago but it doesn't run edge to edge and leaves a gap at the top and sides.
Soon as someone makes a protector running edge to edge I'll grab it in a heartbeat

Yeah not going edge to edge is another deal breaker for me. I hate being able to see that I have a screen protector on, just looks cheapie.
I just got the LG G2 VZW (dry Install) Full Body ZAGG invisibleSHIELD® from Verizon. I'm coming from the Incipio Feather, which I really like too but it adds 15 grams to the weight and makes the device just that much wider.
So far I love the ZAGG invisibleSHIELD. It is unobtrusive and gives the phone a nice grippy feel. I would prefer a soft touch back but the ZAGG is actually better for gripping. I didn't bother applying the screen protector because the phone already has Gorilla Glass 3 which also feels really great.
Take care with installation, see that you have no dust - use scotch tape to remove any before applying.

Another thing I like about the ZAGG is that it doesn't cover the sides, it comes down the side just to the point where if it went further it would make the phone a tiny bit wider.

Skinomi makes a clear skin and also some others that look like carbon fiber and wood. Their skins cover the sides more. There are also skins by EXOSkin.

No prob. I'm thinking of switching back to the skin again after using my red case for a month. If only I can figure out how to clean the red paint that's rubbing off on my phone now
What are the thinnest Flex cases? Post pictures if you can. The only issue I have with the Flex if you call it a issue is that I don't want to hide the curves. lol I want the thinnest case. Might just have to go with a full body protector.
thanks
get this one bro; super thin, great grip ridges on the side, and it fits like a glove..

You have it? I might get the clear or red one. I guess a mall has cell phone shop that will like shrink wrap a protector on any phone/tab. lol I might take a look at that today.
yeah, I have the red one..its super thin, just like you are looking for..
problem with those shrink wrapped type skins is that if you drop the phone on its edge, on concrete, they wont keep you from chipping the phone...

Post some pictures of the case on your phone if you can. I just wanted something that will make the phone not as slippery with limited bulk possible. I'm not going to say what I want to say for the fear of jinking myself. lol

I will later today, after I exchange this defective phone...but trust me, this is the slimmest, thinnest tpu type case you could imagine for this phone..
I ended up ordering that case and another one yesterday. I guess I didn't need to start another thread.
Sorry mods.
sorry I forgot to post pics; got busy restoring the phone all day yesterday..
Trust me, if you wanted a thin, unobtrusive cast, you bought the right one..what other case did you get?

This one. Only a few bucks so what the heck. A local mall has a invisible shield store and I wanted to have them install one but they said it might be a week til they get it. Might buy one online and have them put it on. I'm kind of picky and thinking they might not stay on with a curved phone as well though. I've had clear plastic cases that don't add much bulk but that's not happening with a curved phone. lol
Fosmon HYBO-SK Series Hybrid PC + TPU Kickstand Case for LG G Flex (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...N=B00HCNFVSO&linkCode=as2&tag=androheadl04-20
I had one of those on my one maxx; its OK, for a cheapo, but not as flexible as the other one you ordered..
for the price, its worth having around.
BTW, I had installed one of those skins on my flex; it was ok for a few days, then it started to come up around the round corners, so I don't know if one is good for a rounded phone like this. I am good at installing these things, but I couldn't get it perfect...
I'm still thinking about getting LG flip case. I know it's pricey but the discount helps and it provides good protection. Don't think you need a screen protctor with that case.

MPERO FLEX S Series Protective Case for LG G Flex
It's ok and doesn't add that much bulk. I don't think it fits like it should on my Flex because I have a Otter Box 360 on. I think I just want a pouch to put my Flex in when I go golfing.

Feather Shine
So I just put the Feather Shine on - it's a nice case, and looks pretty good. There's a strange thing, however: the corners on the front are shaped/recessed in such a way that when the phone is lying face down, the phone's top and bottom edges and corners are in contact with the table. I would prefer if the feather shine was what was touching the table.
I'm very curious about the Vest thing that LG has on their site. I can only find it (so far) from Korean vendors on eBay, with 3-4 week delivery times, so I haven't pulled the trigger. It seems to be minimalist protection, focusing protection exactly on the area I am concerned about: the front corners and top and bottom edges of the phone. Does anyone know someplace in the US that's selling these?
Thanks!
I have the quick window case. It's a nice design with nice patterns and such. The only thing I didn't like was that it really doesn't stand up to scratches much. It makes a nasty scuff Mark on the front of the door where it hits the back of the phone. I bought a vest from overseas last week for $20 on eBay. We'll see how that goes.

Not sure I understand the scuff mark. So the vest case overseas is the same as LG's but you save 40 bucks? Send me the link. Thanks

I received the Fusion Bumper Case today and I gotta say after a days use I am delighted with it, I've got it on with the 2.5D Screen Protector and it works no problem. I actually like this more than the Grip-Pro I got the other day, purely because it allows me to show off my phone whilst keeping it protected! Here are some pictures:

Also threw together a quick and dirty YouTube clip with the Case in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIsXJV0DDnc It's terrible and I'd advise you to mute the video, with a little more time I could have produced something a little more professional!

I also want to order this case but is it really thick if you compare it to simple TPU clear case i.e. Ozrly FlexiCase?

It's definitely thicker,, but not by a huge margin. I actually prefer the feel of the Fusion to the normal TPU Orzly FlexiCase. Here are some pictures for comparison:

Damn. If only I had known about the little feet it has. The photos on the Amazon listing show that the back is completely smooth and uniform

I agree with you...i was expecting a little feet but not in that way...i'm considering if i can ask a refund...at this point i will keep the Orzly Flexicase until the Ringke Fusion...however i haven't the case yet then i will wait!

The little feet are probably there to keep it from scratching.

The case looks nice. Is the TPU or silicone around the volume buttons stiff or soft? Stiffer material makes it feel like it is more protective.

Will the thick TPU sides of the fusion bumper turn yellow over time? Because it's already hazy and murky in brand new condition. and you can easily notice the difference in clarity between the TPU sides and Polycarbonate back.

Hi, I have a silicon case and my past experience has been that such cases eventually form a yellow tint.
So will that yellow tint be visible on this case as well?
Or are Orzly cases immune to that? Would be disappointed if after paying a premium amount, I get the same quality.
No Orzly users here? :l
Need to buy a case ASAP, bump.

I have an Orzly flexi case and no, they're not immune to the yellowing effect. In fact, if you turn on the torchlight, the whole case would illuminate in a golden yellow colour.
If you want a transparent case, I'd recommend a hybrid case like the Ringke Fusion. The polycarbonate back would be immune to yellowing and you can choose tinted TPU on the sides, since clear TPU yellows gradually.

Ah, thank you. I'll find a Ringke through aliexpress, since they officially aren't available in India, yet.
Moreover had a Ringke fusion for my OPO long back, still transparent as the first day, no yellow tint there indeed. :good:
