Using s4 cases for lg g2 - G2 Accessories

Ridiculous right, but since s4 have almost the same dimension and the camera position is at the center, some cases might fit properly with some tweaks (drilling, padding, cutting)

Downside:
-Must create a hole for volume & power button
-Since s4 is 1.9 mm shorter and 1.1 mm thinner, the interior of the case must be trimmed
-Many useless button on the case, g2 don't have side home button
-Extra protection with many sacrifices
-etc, depends on s4 cases
Worth considering:
-Major case designer doesn't seems to care for lg g2
s4 sold about 40 mil units in 6 months, this g2 still don't reach 10 mil. g2 won't be getting the all powerful anti-anything-case if cases maker don't see numbers
-Rigid waterproof cases is possible, underwater video record without plastic bag thingy
-Camera lens covered, no more lens crack or scratch issue
-Coolness and beyond
Like This one, i can see potential
http://www.lifeproof.com/en/galaxy-s4-fre/
Or this one?

Or Pelican military smartphone cases??
Question is, why didn't i just bought iphone or s4? it's cheaper and still too early to tell whether there will be tougher cool all-around protection for g2.

What?

covers that dont surround the bezel

So I recently ordered a supcase on Amazon and while I like the way it protects my nexus overall, I can't stand how difficulty it is to swipe down my notification panel or press the soft keys because it covers the bezel. Do any users have any experienced with any cases around the same price that don't happen to cover the bezel?

I didn't search for a better price, but this design is the best on the market for any tablet I've used. They're all the same with a different name punched into the cover, except there's one variation that has a hand strap. Get this. If you search, you can probably find it for about $5-10.
I have that one with a hand strap, moko is punched in the front.
I really like feels good, device feels secure in the holders. Slim and sexy.

After owning 5-6 different cases, the link below contains the absolute best one I've ever used. It's a little pricey (35 bucks), but hop on the chat and ask if they have any coupon codes. They gave me one when I ordered, which surprised me. Only shaved off 3-4 bucks, but it's better than nothing.
At any rate, it's the best one I've used. Very secure, well designed, nice quality.

Noreve make the best cases. Pricey though.

I'm happy with this one. The hand strap is useful to tuck your usb-otg drive into so its not flopping around.

Thanks for the response guys.

Flip Cover Compatible Case?

Recently I've switched over to the S4 from the Note 2 (gave it to my gf). While I was reviewing cases for the S4 I came across Spigen's Flip Mate case. My gf likes using the OEM Flip Cover, but she drops her phone ALOT. She originally had an S3 and that thing took quite a beating (cracked screens, cracked flip covers, etc). Does anyone know if anyone is selling something similar for the Note 2?
This is what you want...

I don't think that's what he means.
an option is to use a protective cover+.
normally it's not very comfortable when you combine it with an original flip cover, but you can cut a small strip off the left side of the TPU part to give the flip cover a bit more room to flip open.
She could get a case like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/B00ATUYE9O?tag=adapas-21 which I was planning on purchasing before I got my extended battery, or she could do what I did previously and get a TPU case (or a case with TPU on the sides like the Samsung Protective Cover+) and cut away the bit that prevents the flip case from moving freely:

the case will still close fine:

[REVIEW]Melko KUBALT Double Layer Pro Case

Melko KUBALT Double Layer Pro Case
Polycarbonate plus Silicon
Just got the case. It feels good and sturdy. Surprising slim. I think it will protect my phone well. I love the look, it goes beautifully with my LG G4. The case is sturdy, fits like a glove, never loosens up or becomes all crappy looking. The texture on the back is very grippy but not abrasive.
I used this with a tempered glass screen protector and the fit is very nice. And most importantly its wireless qi charging compatible. Its charging nicely on my LG WCD-100.
Installation: lt easy to install and remove.
Grip or Feel:* Its has nice polycarbonate material touch and very grippy.
Protections: Double layer protection. Made of durable & advanced material. Help to prevent scratches. It comes with screen protector.
Appearance:
Stylish finishing,making this case look more beautiful. Many colors combination to choose from.

Thanks for the review. Nice looking case. How long have you had it? Living in Canada, I find it difficult to find sources for things like this unless it's on Amazon, but I'll certainly consider it. I notice most places I've found say it's for the Optimus LG G4. Wonder if that, in fact, is the same as the plain LG G4. Have not heard it called "Optimus".

intelliARMOR Tempered Glass Screen Protector

I got my protector today from @intelliARMOR today for both my 5x and 6p and really like them so far. They seem like very nice glass protectors for sure. They do not add a lot of thickness at all, you can barely tell it's there really and don't see it being an issue with cases either. The glide on them is really nice. They fit pretty well too. I did have one issue with my 5x one where one of the corners isn't sticking down(already emailed support about that) but besides that I really like them. I would totally recommend them, I plan on ordering another set to have as a backup. I can post some pics later if people want but I would say give them a shot for sure. I think I found my new favorite glass protector for sure
Here are some pics
I really like this protector.. A lot. Like I said the only issue I have is on my 5x one, one of the corners does not stick down all the way (my 6p one was fine) you can see the protector doesn't add much thickness at all.

Talked to support and they sent me a code to get a replacement due to the corner not sticking down. I really have to say their customer service has been top notch. They respond quickly and are willing to help!! I really have found my new goto place for glass screen protectors

Cheap tempered glass

Anyone found one? The only one I found was for like £6 on ebay. I checked aliexpress but didn't find any
Try this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Clear-Screen-Protector-For-Motorola-Moto-Z-Play-Tempered-Glass-Guard-Films-Front-Cover-LCD-Film/32737930094.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.197.pXt8qi&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_3_10056_10065_10055_10068_10054_10069_10059_10073_10017_10070_10060_10061_10052_10062_10053_10050_10051,searchweb201603_7&btsid=05d6f76a-01cd-4873-b1b8-6cbc81299f94. It's the only one i found that i like how the cut-outs look. If you'll get it, i will appreciate a feedback on how it fits. I don't have a moto z play yet, just planning ahead
I may give this one a shot... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/IMA...-Screen-Protector-Full-Cover/32757130766.html
I purchased this 2 pack (intended for Z Force)...http://www.ebay.com/itm/172316562388
Doesn't lay flat near the front flash....not sure if there is a protrusion there or not...may try the second one in the pack to see if it's just an issue with the one protector. Also the protector extends very close to the edge of the display so it doesn't lay completely flat there either. For the price, I can't really complain too much but I wouldn't buy it again.
I got this pack
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...+protector&dpPl=1&dpID=416M8zrtKsL&ref=plSrch
And like others have said about their tempered glass protectors, the fit is terrible
The edges don't stick properly, it's too small for the screen, the front camera flash is ever so slightly raised so it doesn't seal, and the cutout at the top is massive, leaving alot of screen unprotected
