I'm looking for recommendations on soft/rubbery cases with a minimal build. I found a few online but no reviews yet and I really need a case with a good grip. Hard, poly carbonate cases were too slick for me and didn't feel good in the hand. I had a good rubber case for my G2 a couple years back but I can't remember the brand. Thanks in advance.
*edit: Wouldn't mind a gel case either if on par with a rubbery case's grip.

beautiful case. Do you know of a similar one that fits the leather back?
Spigen has some nice TPU cases, if that's what you're asking for. They SAY that it doesn't fit leather backs, but some on the forums here have tried those cases and it seems to be fine.

I got a Tech 21 Tactical case and it fits the leather back. Got it from the T-Mobile Store.

Hello I was just looking for a black case that is not too slippery and that is fairly protective with a lip if it is not a a diary or wallet case.

The Duzign case you can purchase from amazon or eBay. One of the least expensive cases I own, but I use it all the time. The case is identical to the Cruzerlite Spi-Force for half the price and the TPU liner is awesome.

Good luck with your search; I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
Body glove. Very slim but good protection.

When I saw the thread I thought the case was a bit of a gimmick, but once I got myself one from Amazon Warehouse and tried it myself I was surprised how good it is; thin but offers a decent amount of protection, also the grip is much better than say the Diz which I also have
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!

Incipio feather- got it for the exact same reason, adds hardly no bulk and a nice soft touch finish. I love mine.

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.

Just ordered the white.
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.

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
Sent from my LG-H815
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.
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Verus®-V...d=1434571696&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+g4+verus+case
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.

I am looking for a great leather cases. For me it does not matter if it a wallet leather case or hard leather case. But I do feel that the premium feel of the Note 5 would feel great with real leather. I have seen the discussion on the Artech21 leather case but I would like to see some more discussion of leather cases.

Check out Tetded cases (www.tetded.com)
I have the leather case that only covers the back of the Note 5 (go to their Note 5 page, then scroll to the very bottom of the page) and I've been very thrilled with it!
Very thin profile, doesn't add much at all to the overall size of the Note5, but does give it much more grip. The leather seems to be very good quality.... the case is about $30, so it's not the finest leather you can find, but for this purpose, it's very nice.
I've had it six or eight weeks, and so far, it's held up very well.
Tetded also has folio type cases, if that's more to your liking.... good luck!

That's not a hybrid case. Hybrid cases use more than 1 type of material like a polycarbonate back and TPU bumper. The Tech 21 is the thinnest hybrid case I gave so far besidssbrhe Ringke; although the Tech 21 case is taller.

I think the Ringke is the best slim case out there. I currently have it on my s7 edge.

I ordered one, you don't feel the lip as rough? How about feeling the parts where its purposefully cut? I want grip, but will not sacrifice a premium thickness or feel for it. I was thinking this or the Incipio Feather.

You can check my reviews for cases, I don't have the Incipio feather, but i have 2 of their other cases. I'll have more to review shortly, and I might get some more slim ones as well. The Spigen Thin Fit isn't rough from what it recall

My wife tried one on her s7e. This case has a polycarbonate back, which is hard and slippery. Perhaps the back protects better against drops,but it also is going to cause them, too.
She's going to try a TPU back with PC bumper next.
