Case Show Down - G2 Accessories

As the title states, which case would you choose and why out of the three of them. Looking at the slim armor but want opinions from others who have any of them.
- Spigen Slim Armor White

- Incipio DualPro White

i have the slim armor soul black and the incipio teal blue case. i dont like the camera and button cutout on the incipio. they shouldve made it tighter and not so open. i havent opened the slim armor package yet to try it on due to waiting on my tempered glass screen protector, but it is a nice looking case. also spigen makes quality products ive ordered several cases from them in the past with no disappointments. the otterbox is just too big! (thats what she said) <--- get that out of the way. at least in my opinion.
so slim armor it is!

I had the commuter with my S4 and I liked it at first then tried on the Speck Candyshell and asked why I ever got the otterbox. It seems like there arn't as many choices with the G2 vs. the S4, might be cause of the whole VZW vs. others deal. I wanted to try the slim armor the first time around and I think i'm going to pull the trigger now that you mentioned that the Incipio isn't the best.
Thanks

What cases are you guys using?

Still undecided!
Theres a thread for this called post pics of phones with cases, it has 88 or so pages of info.
I had a speck candyshell but it scratches way to easily. Now I use a otterbox commuter and love it.

Mime glass and white UAG. Otterbox commuter back in the box. Best SP and case combination ever. And I have gone through dozens with iphone 3 3g 4 5 galaxy S2 Skyrocket and now Note 2.
This combination is light clear and if I want another color just duct tape the insert. Its like being a horse of another color in the emarald city ( haven't tried green yet, hmmmmm )

Genuine Samsung Note 2 case, it fits the phone perfect, it has rubber sides and hard back. Samsung did a great job on the case just like they did on the phone. ZERO issues as it is made FROM Samsung. This is the perfect case for me..I do not have the overhyped UAG case nor the fever that seems to be spreading.
P.S. notice how I say best case for me??? Yea...I have no idea why people say something is the best for a very subjective topic.

I use the Armor-X case. It is hard to get (& not cheap) and comes from HK via German Post but totally worth every penny.

I'll update with a pic when I un-F my ROM's camera.
I've had roughly 50 cases since I resell them for fun. Of these, I've kept the following for myself:
2 UAG cases. 1 in black and 1 in white
2 Sweet Armor bumpers. 1 in Titanium Grey and 1 in Matte Black and Silver
1 Spigen Ultra Flip
1 Seidio Convert holster (only the holster, sold the case)
These are, IMHO, the very best available in each of their classes.
Went with the white Uag, preferred it over the silicone of the aegis

I've been switching between the Ballistic, Aegis, and UAG. It would be just the UAG if it didn't make the phone feel so wide.

Mind me asking what screen protector, if any, that you are using.
Every time I put on a different case, the edges are different enough that they cause problems.

Searching for the thinnest case for Verizon G2.

Ok so I absolutely cannot stand the glossy back on this phone. I mean, it looks nice... if you never touch it. But man the smudges... its just terrible. That being said I am looking for a case, but only to get rid of that. I usually don't get cases because they add bulk, that is why I am in search of a super thin one. So, case suggestions for Verizon G2, hit me!

Looks awesome, I will have to try it out
The Incipio Feather Shine is also great. I have been using it for almost a week now and have had multiple people tell me that they didn't even know a case was on the phone!
I like the diztronic case. It's probably not as thin as the feather, but it's really close plus it covers the top and the bottom. Fits really nice.

Can always sand the back cover (there's a thread somewhere) or get a skin if you don't want a case.
I have both the incipio feather and diztronic and the incipio is the better of the 2 imo but the diztronic will offer alittle more protection.

I just got the Incipio Feather Shine and it's too slippery for me. I had a Feather before and I liked the tackiness. I can't stand the Feather Shine. What's the best case that's tacky like the Feather and is slim and just barely covers the phone.
I just got my matte black Diztronic. I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's pretty grippy, too.

Poetic sand or poetic softouch. Makes the incision feather look like an otterbox. The sand is the perfect grip adder

Is there one that fits the international version (or Sprint/T-mobile version). Only see ones for AT&T on amazon?

I had a matte black TPU case for my HTC Inspire back in the day that I really liked, it was only like $5 too! I could never remember what brand it was though. I know it wasn't Diztronic (they have their logo on all their stuff right?), but when I searched for TPU cases for my GNex they looked closest to it.
Anyways yeah the TPU case I had was pretty thin, I think I am gonna try the Feather though and see how that goes. :fingers-crossed:

I have one, too. It covers the back and sides quite well, and easily slides in/out of my front pocket.

The Diztronic cases are TPU cases and like all TPU cases, adds a decent lip around the edges of the screen = nasty.
The Incipio Feather is the best slim case around. I have a feather case on my wife's iPhone, my old Gnex, and new G2. It is made up of top notch material that won't flake off the coating and is very durable.
I honestly can't recommend any other slim cases. And don't go for the Feather Shine or whatever... just the plain jane Feather. I got the Blue one from Verizon. They are like $18 on Amazon. Walmart also carries them. Pretty popular cases.

Also have the Matte Black for the VS980. I usually hate cases but this one is pretty thin and has a slight lip on the front to help keep the screen from resting on anything. I love the grip and the way the case feels and like most says it easily slides in/out of pockets.

They look exactly the same as the Feather (but cheaper).
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-case-Sand-Black/dp/B00ED2DVZ2
Poetic also uses cheaper chinese plastics compared to Incipio, so you get what you pay for.
Also that case is not specific to the Verizon model. It appears to a be overall generic LG G2 case because of the additional unused microphone hole found only on the AT&T. Also the cutouts won't match the Verizon's smaller buttons.

Best case for LG G4

What cases do you guys have on your G4's? I'm yet to buy one and unsure which to buy.
I was looking at this one, anyone else got it? Any good?

Thanks
There is no "best case". The best case is the one YOU like. You might want to look in the accessories section theres a ton of threads already http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories
That case is great. I got a spigen crystal clear slim case. Before phones were even officially announced. Fits over leather. And you can still see it.
Checked other forums but didn't see the Accessories forum, my bad. Thanks both!!
Ive got the cruzerlite in black and i love it...Had it on a few other phones as well and i love the design and tight fit. Not sure if it works with the leather version tho

Caseology Envoy Series here
I don't usually keep a case on but felt the need to since I have no warranty nor can get insurance.
I have the black plastic back G4 BTW. It's sturdy, not heavy and believe it will protect from a drop. Fits my tempered glass screen protector. Leather feels premium, hopefully it lasts lol. Raised front lip is minimal and is a soft rubber, to hold in place when face down I guess?
I was gonna get the carbon fiber one but this red looked too much fun, like iron man lol

That's the case I have for my G4. Doesn't add much bulk and the back has a nice texture that adds some grip. I posted some pics of it on my G4 here on imgur.

I just received this case and it's awesome. Fits with leather back also (T-Mobile, Brown)

I have yet to encounter this issue so I can't say there's a trick to removing. I usually just start pulling it off from one of the corners and working my way to the next corner. Are you using a leather back?
Sent from my LG G4
I have the Spigen case that the OP linked to. Great case. Most Spigen's are. The only drawback to that case is that it takes the sexy back of the G4 and just makes it black. I currently have this one on my phone.

Looks and protects great but the hole for the buttons on the back is pretty deep so you really have to press your finger in there to get to the buttons.
Incipio DualPro here. Had one on my G2, figured just stick with the same here.
I just picked up a Case-Mate Naked Tough for my leather backed T-Mobile version. It seems durable and I like that it is transparent.

I bought the Quick Circle case, Ringke Slim, and a generic Carbon Fiber. I like them all but I'd have to say the Ringke Slim is my favorite. Light protection and great feel to it. Heres a picture of the new Carbon one. Not too bad.
did you try our our product ?
it is high end leather , but maybe expensive to you
I use the Spigen Exact Fit case. Slight slimmer and not bulky.

Case like Spigen Slim Armor but with protruding buttons?

What case would be recommended that is similar protection as the Spigen Slim Armor but has protruding buttons and maybe better grip/texture?
I had a Spigen Slim Armor case for my S5 and really liked it. However, I looked at the S7 Slim Armor and didn't like a couple of things about it:
1. The side buttons are flush with the case making them hard to locate by feel without looking
2. The back is very smooth which feels slippery in the hand

These were also my only complaints with this case(buttons and grip). Otherwise perfect for my use.
Have you found anything similar yet?
I tried the slim armor on my S7E and ended up going with the Unicorn Beetle. Love the frosted back.
Yeah, I liked the Beetle case. I gave it a try. I am a fairly regular kickstand user which is why I liked the slim armor. Just couldn't get used to those flat buttons and slick back.

Have a look overhere:
Case reviews including official Samsung, tech 21, spigen, VRS, Otterbox and loads mor
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid and their Thin Fit case, the Neo Hybrid is definitely the best case that I have seen, just don't get it in the clear version since it yellows over time, especially with wireless charging use.
I have spent so much money on cases, I bought a Piel Frama's SlimFrama case, a Noreve case, couple of Spiegen cases, and none I enjoyed using. So now up using my S7E without a case.

I bought my dad the Spigen Tough Armor case and it really does not like screen protectors. It constantly pushes it out because of how tight it is to the case.
The other, I have not much clue but I think I would recommend the Ghostek 2.0 because it does offer screen protection as well as a layer of protection to the Home Button. The home button gets scratches, which is a faulty Samsung thing. :\

Agreed. It's the only case I've tried that helps with accidental touches of the edge display during typing. It's also the only case that has tall enough side bevels that actually protect the display (with no lost functionality). Most other cases for whatever reason keep them way too low for no reason other than questionable aesthetics.
I've got the neo hybrid from spigen and I'm happy with it. It works with their screen protectors and also the BSE case fit screen protector skin.
Samsung clear cover the one that covers the back only not the flip scratch case

I got the tough armor a few days ago an its perfect. Feels great while holding and goves better grip. The neo seems slimmer but if u want good protection for accidental drops and a kickstand i recommend it.
Note the kickstand seems a bick thin and might brake easily i think but i do with out it if it ever does.
Spigen Thin Fit = the sexiest, lowest protection
Incipio & caseology = decent protection , medium bulk
UAG = max protection , max bulk & thick as a brick
Check here
I really recommend the PureGear Dualtek Pro. It's a great, safe and beautiful case.
ewww
For me it's like a crime to smash that ugly case to a such beautiful device, but if I would buy a case, it would buy just something thin so it's barely visible on the phone but protects it a bit at the same time.
Just my opinion though.
I got the Speck Dark Case for the Onyx s7 edge. Looks fantastic.
