[Q] Leather back users, what do you use? - X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a black leather back and considering getting a leather conditioner and wondering what you are using for your phone.
Sent from my XT1095 using Tapatalk

I don't know if will make a difference or not, but I used Neetsfoot oil which is what I use on nice leather bags. Didn't affect the look of my black leather back at all.

Just the natural oils from my skin.

Just used "Eagle One Leather Conditioner" I had purchased for leather care for Auto seats. Color seems a little richer (cognac).

Looking for a silicone or rubber slip on case for the nook HD+

Just bought the HD+, running cm10 from sdcard and now I need to get rolling on accessories. Anyone turn up a slip on case? I'm not really into the leather trapperkeeper style.

That is a TPU case. It is flexible but is more of a hard rubber type case. I could not find ANY soft silicone cases for the Nook HD+. There are a couple of decal type skins out there which applies on like the wet type screen protector. Don't know how well they protect. I'd go with the TPU if it's between the two.

I got the tpu case in today. Seems like shipping took forever. I give the case about a 7/10. Closest I could find to black was a smoke color. Its kind of a clear gray color. It fits, loosely. The sides are not very tight. Its not gonna fall off the tablet but its easy to roll the case off the sides with your thumbs. I can't speak for the drop protection, seems like it might be OK. Sure makes it easier to grip, and not bulky like the leather trapper keeper style cases.

Mine just came today. I found out that the same thing was listed on amazon by the sameguy for a couple of dollars cheaper (not that it was expensive to begin with). Same impression as you, it is loose and not that tight. Don't like the bottom where there is one very long opening for the sd card slot and data connector. Makes things very loose down there. Definitely less bulk than my cover, good for home use, but I would put on my cover whentaking it with me somewhere.
Silicone Case
I know this is an old thread but since it was pertinent...
I got the Poetic GraphGrip Silicone Case in black for my HD+. Fits well but does add a bit more bulk, mainly thickness wise, than other silicone covers I've used on other devices. The square graph pattern is pronounced. Edges and back are well protected. Seems like it will be great protection in anything but a flat fall directly on the screen. This is the only silicone sleeve I can find. I wish there was one without the graph pattern.
I have a folio type cover but will likely only use that if traveling. I prefer to use a dedicated stand at the desk or tabletop and so need protection on the device like this in combination with a zipper sleeve or bag for carrying.

I also purchased the Poetic Graph Grip Silicone case for the same reasons, and I'm glad I did. Some people complained that the bottom is loose but I do not see that, it has cut outs for the power cord and the memory card slot so when accessing the ports it will flex a little but it's definitely not loose. I found this sleeve on amazon that fits perfectly with the case.
http://www.amazon.com/Mivizu-Sleeve...e+for+Apple+iPad+5,+Amazon+Kindle+Fire+HD+8.9
The outside is nylon and feels very well made. The sleeve's height is spot on and only leaves about .75 extra space for the width.

Back protector for G2

Hi guys,
I am looking for matte skin back protector for G2, do you know where I can buy it?
Xtreemguard is good but it is shiny and fingerprints magnet.
Thanks in advance.

Skinomi has a set that comes with one. Pretty good. Back is a real pain for install because of the long radius on the back.... I ended up having to gently use my heat gun...
I bought an exoskin that came in yesterday. Haven't had a chance to put it on yet but I go the 3M Di-Noc back that looks like carbon fiber. Matte and has some texture for more grippiness.
I got the Poetic Pallette, it's not a skin but it is skinny, about 1.5mm thick. Matte black with rubberized texture,feels really good. J just barely wraps around the front edges and open at the top and bottom.very light.

Me too. The Poetic Pallette is great. Has a great soft touch feel and protects the rear without adding bulk.
I just ordered a carbon skin from Bodygaurdz. Had 1 on my old optimus g.

I put the Zagg full body screen and back protector on my Tmob G2.
It gives a better grip than the polymer back, no fingerprints and has a nice matte finish.
You can see the shiny part near the flash and lens where the Att mic hole would be.
The details of the back with the lines are still there with no shine.
Can't believe anyone hasn't recommended the Diztronic TPU case. It's great. I feel like it would protect from drops very well. Alot better than that of the Poetic Palette anyways.

I have the Exoskins black carbon fiber back and its pretty sweet. Much better than the naked back but it is still a bit slippery but it has some texture for more grippy-ness when you're actually holding the phone.
I did a review with pictures of the black carbon fiber exoskin in this accessories section if anyone is curious. I also have the dizitronic case, but I like the look and feel/texture of the exoskin so much that I'm rocking my g2 with no case. The corners will never line up completely perfectly, but that doesn't bother me personally and other people will not be able to tell unless they are looking for it.

the BEST case?

I'm not short on money right now so I can spend a lot, but I obviously don't want to if I don't have to. What's the best case for this phone for protection from falls?
I enjoy the outterbox commuter case, it's not overly bulky like the defender but still providers good protection from falls.
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
I prefer the spigen slim armor case, with the metal slate color. Looks really good and provides good protection as well. I recommend the metal slate color because it isn't glossy, so no fingerprints.

Wish I seen this before I got the soul black. It is a fingerprint magnet. Doesn't bother me much tho, still looks good and protects my phone most importantly.

LG G2
I have the LG G2 Dual Pro in white and grey and I love it. It provides plenty of protection but doesn't feel overly bulky and it has a nice lip on it to keep the screen off the table when I put it down. It has a soft rubbery feel to it so it doesn't feel slippery. 2 pieces one hard and one soft for shock absorption. I am very picky about my cases but this one is perfect and I have tried a few.
Hi,
Just ordered a Ringke LG G2 SLIM Case, looks good ....
I'm currently using the diztronic tpu matte case. Haven't dropped it yet but I had one on my previous galaxy nexus and it was great on it. Almost no bulk added. I've dropped it countless times and my phone was always good. It's also pretty cheap. Good luck!
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Definitly get one. I once droped my while getting out of the car before i got my SPIGEN case. Thank god i only dent 2 corners without damaging phone or display.
G2 is definitly not very good phone for dropping. Before this i had HTC One x and i dropped it on monthly basis for year and half without any major visible damage. I dropped LG G2 once and i already have visible damage.
Now my SPIGEN case for g2 even covers those dents so i dont see it
Still that phone is sexy without the cover more. But believe my you will eventually drop it so its worht getting the case and using it constantly. So better get one.
I've got a otterbox computer. And I've had it fall twice in a span of 15 mins from a little over 4 ft on to a old brick pad and it was just fine. (I was trying to set it up to take a family picture and it fell off its perch...twice)

Does your case tend to get dirty ? I mean, since it's white... Cuz I realy like this one and thinking of buying it !
Thanks !
Any comments on TUDIA vs. Diztronic from owners of both TPU cases?
Even better if you can also compare them vs. the Incipio Brig.

Cases for the leather back?

Im thinking of getting the leather g4 when it comes out. but i also want to put a case on the g4 so it doesnt get f**ked up when i drop it. but i was thinking, if i do get the leather back g4 and i put a case on it, then whats the point of having a leather back if i cant show it off because of the case that is going to be blocking it from view.
Is there any cases for the leather back g4 yet?
I don't think so. If you want a case and a leather back I suggest you look into getting a leather case.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Free mobile app
Most of the cases out there are NOT compatible with the leather back.
If you want a leather back, get the G4 with the plastic back and buy one of these cases....

Maybe This One
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH1J7WI/ref=twister_B00VH1IR10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I did buy it but as of now it's in another country and i can't actually access it. The description claims it will fit the leather back.
I'm not sure if that was a one size fits all design or sculpted precisely for leather backs.
They had a promotion dropping the price to about $7. Don't know if that's over.
Also don't know if the company is reputable at all. This particular amazon page doesn't show up on google search results soo... idk

this one says Compatible with LEATHER LG G4
Ringke FUSION for LG G4 fits all Leather, Metallic, and Ceramic Craft backs. Be cautious when putting on or removing of the case, as it may damage the leather back
side of the phone, if not careful. Ringke is not responsible for any damage to the leather back. : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=011080yt-20
there's this case reviewer in youtube, he use the brown leather G4 with spigen cases, and they all seem to fit well
but there's no telling the long term effect on the leather though
I've got the cognac leather, with a Versus leather case and I can tell you that it will scratch or tear the leather back near the edges when you are trying to remove the case.

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?

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 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.

it is high end leather , but maybe expensive to you
