Protective Cases with small Form

What would be the best armor/protective case for the G2 with a small size?
Not as big as an Otterbox Defender, nothing bulky...
But not as thing as a thin TPU case...
Looking at the SPIGEN Slim Armor right now, seems appealing but also kind of thin.

I love my slimArmor, It is a bit thin on the face side but that's where I have the iLoome Flex glass protector on. Hopefully in a drop the iLoome cracks and my screen stays in one piece.

If you want less than the defender then try the otterbox commuter. I have it for mine and I don't regret it at all, very reasonable thickness with a nice lip on the front for a case this protective, plus none of the button problems that seem to plague the defender series

I'm really into having front face protection.

Has anyone had the Incipio Dual Pro case?
It seems appealing.

It's a very thin case, with almost zero rim. Thinner than the Slim Armor, if the photos of the latter are correct. Like 1mm of rim, which is barely that tall. The only cases with less rim that I've seen are the official QuickWindow case and maybe the Feather.

I bought it for my wife's Verizon G2, the pink one. It is a very good case, a good mix of protection and being slim. The plastic back has a matte finish a has a slight grip to it.So nice in fact, I just bought the white one for my newly purchased G2. :good:

My Verizon LG G2 came with a white/grey Incipio DualPro case. My initial feeling toward it is that the silicone is too flexible and pulls too easily away from the top and bottom front faces of the phone. While putting the outer shell on the phone, it felt like the case just wouldn't be stiff enough, but now that it's on the shell isn't so bad. The case has decent grip, but the white color of the outer shell picks up color from your pocket (or whatever else it rubs up against for a bit). I really like how the rear buttons are covered up, yet actually easier to use because of the more pronounced power button bulge.
On my previous phone (a Verizon Samsung Galaxy SIII) I regularly used a pebble blue TPU case from Belkin, but also had a blue Otterbox Commuter for when I'd go camping and hiking. I quite liked the Commuter and will compare the Incipio DualPro against it.
I've been using a Diztronic matte black TPU case for the last week (my first full week with the device). Now I've switched over to the Incipio to check it out. I'll give it as long as I can stand it and will post back here.

Anyone checkout or have experience with the trident cyclops case for the g2? I used it on my moto x, for the protection it offered, really didn't have much bulk, was thinner then the commuter. Found a good deal on a g2 cyclops thinking on checking it out.

Just ordered a poetic invictus. For under $10.00, it seemed like a high quality case.

24 Hour update: I've spent 24 hours with the Incipio DualPro case on my Verizon LG G2. It is definitely growing on me. While the slightly rubberized hard shell feels slightly slippery to the touch, it is grippy on most surfaces when set down. The case seems to offer protection on par with an Otterbox while feeling better. There's very little added bulk with this case, considering what it's offering in terms of protection.
The case looks good from the back, but I'm not too keen on the white shell peeking around the front edges of the phone (or with how it picks up colors from rubbing on its surroundings). The grey inner shell looks good enough that it's not distracting. Had I purchased the case separately, I would definitely have gone with the black case. But I don't feel strongly enough to buy the black version as a replacement for the white/grey case I already have.
I'm happy with this case and would recommend it.

Received my black Invictus today and it's going back. I'm not impressed. The biggest thing is the cutout at the top left corner the pics on Amazon don't show it but it's there and annoying. The plastic is glossy and looks to scratch easily. The kickstand is just a flap cut out of the back of the case and doesn't snap into place very well. I was expecting a somewhat more premium case. Obviously not high end but better than this.

Today I tried switching back to my Diztronic case because I'm tired of the white/Grey color scheme of the Incipio case. I couldn't do it. I've grown used to the way the Incipio case covers the rear buttons and actually makes them easier to use.
But it turns out that I really do feel strongly enough about the color to have ordered a black version of the Incipio. It should get here in a couple of days. Hopefully it feels the same as this white one.

I really like my incipio dualpro. it's really thin but it's survived a couple drops already. my only complaint is the back is kind of slippery and I could see it slipping out of my hand (hasn't happened yet)

Having used the Slimarmor and the Diztronic TPU, I just recently moved over to the Tech 21 D3O case from Tmobile and I'm loving it.
With the slimarmor I felt it being a bit bulky as well as pretty slick at times. With the diztronic, I didnt feel as if there was enough protection if I were to ever drop the phone.
Looking at the videos of drop tests online for the d3o material, I was sold. The fit is snug, the only bulk added is on the edges where the d3o material is. The textured tpu is nice to hold and doesn't feel slippery, plus I feel much more confident in the event if it were to ever drop on the corners/edges of the phone. For the front face drops, hopefully the Glass M protector I have will take the impact.
Very satisfied with the Tech 21 case and would recommend to anyone looking for slim and protective. They have them in the Tmobile stores so you can definitely try it out first before you buy!

I have the Seidio Surface case and holster. I really like the holster but the case doesn't seem like it gives much protection. Anyone familiar with a case that will give more protection but still fit the holster.? I've tried a couple from Ebay that look slim but protective in the pictures but tend to be pretty bulky in hand. A kickstand would be nice but that's not a deal breaker.

Ballistic SG Shell Gel Protective Case
I used to have a Razr i before my LG G2.
The Razr i was tough by its own and still I had a "trident aegis" case for it, I could throw it meters and was always nice.
G2 seems way more fragile, but the trident series for the G2 are really creepy awful. So with a little research I came across this nice piece of plastic protection the "Ballistic SG Shell Gel Protective Case", checked some youtube videos of drop tests and reviews.
I bought it on ebay today, so now I'm waiting to arrive.
Hopefully its as nice as it looks.

Case/Screen protection for phone in pocket

Hello. I usually carry my phone in pocket, so the case doesn't have to be very bulky. I currently have a Nillkin case ( slim, not so good for impact but nice grip though ), with a noname 1$ screen protector.
Can you help me decide what to buy?
I work a lot with the phone so book/flip cases aren't an option.

I currently have the xtremeguard screen protector and 2 different cases. I definitely use my spigen slim armour case more than my tech21 d3o case. Both are good but my screen protector doesn't bubble with the spigen than the tech21. Just what I have personally experienced. Hope that helps.

I also use a spigen slim armor but without a screen protector. The armor adds the phone a bulk but its easier to hold the phone and i can still use it singlehanded.

I bought today the Spigen Slim Armor case. Kind of bulky, has enough weight but the grip is almost perfect. I have big hands so it's size isn't an issue
I'm waiting now for a XtremeGuard screen protector from ebay. Thanks for the advices!

I have used 3 cover so far on my G2 first was Nillkin leather Flip cover, second Spigen Slim Armor case and currently using the Nillkin frosted back cover. I think the flip cover gives a decent overall protection, quick window works well on stock rom as well as my current room Cloudy G3. Spigen Slim Armor case adds slight bulk to the phone but its ok. it also provied a decent protection to the whole frame of the phone, drop mine once from a 1 foot height nothing happened. and finally my latest cover the frosted Nillkin back cover, its very slim in fit, protects the back side, not much to the top and bottom of the phone but it looks very good and dont add any bulk to the phone. also i am using the Nillkin screen guard, will upgrade to tempered H glass screen protector from Nillkin shortly.

[Q] Best relation between weight and protection

Hello, I buy a G2 and I have been reading a lot of opinions here on XDA but I can't decide at all.
I want something protective, and also lightly
I saw Nillkin frosted shield here
But I think it is not very protective, or I am wrong?
I also see Spigen Slim Armor here, it seems to be protective but is heavy, is't it? How much does it weight?
Or maybe a tempered glass + Nillkin frosted shield?
Is there anything between nillkin and Spigen?? (I don't like silicone case)
Is Diztronic Matte + an screen protector the best for me?
As you see I read, but there are a lot of opinions in a lot of pages and it is difficult to make up my mind.
Thanks for helping and sorry for my english, I am from Argentina

I got this Speck case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEYHJU8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7PzJub1VZ7N4Q
It looks like a two piece thing but is actually a fused one-piece case and quite slim. I have a used G2 in white and it has all sorts of dings and scratches on the phone, this case covers them all up perfectly. It looks and feels amazing. This color is a bit "pretty" but my four year old daughter loves it, so that works for me. I imagine if you have the black phone the black case would look better.
I also ordered a leather case from Tetded but that ships from hong Kong so it will be a while before I can evaluate.

How does the speck case protect against bumps and drops? As good as the spigen?

I'm using a Diztronic case and this tempered screen protector: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KVIGG54/
They work well together and I have no complaints about the protection. I'm pretty hard on my electronics and have dropped it to concrete quite a few times with no damage. I was even able to transfer the screen protector to a new phone when I had to get a warranty replacement for a defective camera sensor.
I used to have a two piece otter box style case because I was very paranoid about damaging the phone when I first got it. I got sick of struggling to get in in and out of my pocket since the phone is so big.

i doubt this case would protect your phone from a waste high drop

Bought myself one of those Ulak Armor Knox cases

So I ordered one of those knox armor cases for $14 off Amazon. They're similar looking to the Otterbox and offer similar protection. Only thing is they don't have a built in protector but that's not a big deal because I have tempered glass on mine.
Only think I really don't like is just like the Otterbox Defender, the rubber near the home key tends to work a little loose after riding around in my pocket.
The rubber around it seems a bit more dense so hopefully it last longer than the Defenders. After just a couple months my Defenders always become looser due to the rubber wearing.
It's not the best case but for $14 bucks I'll take it over a Defender though. It provides more protection than the Supcase too. Only other durable case I can think of that is more durable than this is my Poetic Revolution which I love but it's huge and doesn't work with wireless charging like this one does

This is probably the best case in amazon I've had it since I've had my phone along with the built in screen protector I use tempered glass. I do construction and I wear my 800$ phone on my tool belt with confidence. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013D...+belt+clip&dpPl=1&dpID=51PBx5XllCL&ref=plSrch

I got a Supcase. I like the built in screen protector on it but it is a it thin for my liking. I think the best case for being really rugged is the Poetic Revolution but it is kind of over kill but a great case. Again for max protection Supcase is like commuter case to me. The Ulak case is thick and feels more like a Defender. If Ulak case wears like the Otterbox I'll probably rip the temperd glass off and go back to Supcase or the P

To each his own but I'll go to bat for the unicorn beetle. I v dropped it plenty of times and not even the tempered glass has broken yet..... knock on wood. The buttons work great and it has a belt clip. Can't beat that in my book

I've got the ulak, and I really like it. I was going to get the supcase, but I REALLY don't like built in screen protectors.

I like the built in one on the supcase. It isn't like Otterbox. It fits flush so dirt doesn't get under it. However the Supcase is stiff and too thin for my liking for drop protection. The Ulak seems good. Even if it only last 6 months it was only 14 bucks. My otterBox after 3 months was wearing a lot so I bought other cases. Waste of 50 bucks. My next Note phone I'll order some Amazon cases a few days before I buy the phone so I'm not suckered into buying otterboxes.

I have and use the supcase daily. I love the fit and finish you can definitely tell it's a well made piece. I did also grab one of the Knox armor cases too for around 3 dollars with a coupon code from amazon. Side by side it's easy to tell the supcase built much better. As far as drop protection goes between the two I have no idea, but I have dropped my note a couple times so far. I have yet to actually put the ulak case on, never found a reason to take the supcase off

The Supcase the phone feels kind of thin to grip. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using Otterbox Defender and Poetic Revolution cases. I always thought the Note 5 was a bit thin to grip.
Another good case to check out is the Artech 21. I like the Supcase but it just seems a bit too thin especially with all the glass on this phone. That is why I went with the Ulak. So far after a week it's still holding up well compared to the Defender I have.

What`s the best transparente case?

Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?

Orzly Flexicase

The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HBZYWLE/

i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)

I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.

I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice

I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)

I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.

Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.

I'm using stock just fine.

I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.

Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.

For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect

I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.

I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.
