can u take some post some pic with the leather on with this case?
does it feels weird in the hand ?
Got one on ebay just like that with no brand name on it About $5. Absolutely creases the leather. Also wore down one edge a bit from when I was doing battery swaps, from taking it on and off. Otherwise nice.

Any pics of the damage done to the back cover? Maybe shouldn't consider it at all if it damages the leather...

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?
also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.

Has anyone found a place to buy a good case for this phone yet?
Also, I sent an email to ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD) to see if they will be getting screen protectors for the vivid...I hope the respond soon...
I got the Moshi Protector and the AGF case from ATT when I picked up the vivid, case is fine, HATE the protector, makes the screen feel and react like the old resistive screens since it by design, doesn't lay flat on the screen.
I ordered a cheapo clear on ebay(prefer the clear ones) as soon as it comes in I am returning the moshi

I had a few leftovers from SGS2, and you wont believe how perfectly they fit on my Vivid. As if they were custom made for this phone.

Not sure how they are going to work out, but I bought some yesterday.. Ill letcha know.
When i picked up the phone i got a speck case and moshi screen protector. Reason i like the moshi is because its bubble free and reusable and anti-glare. The speck case is bulky but i had one on my inspire and i dropped that phone like 20 times and not a scratch or dent
could you take some shots of the phone with the speck case. I ordered 2 white phones with the white cases and i'm hoping they are going to make the phone too big.

Do you think you might be able to post your thoughts on the speck case? I got the white phone, and was contemplating the white case, too, but was afraid it would be too thick and make the phone a bit bulky. Thanks!
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case from AT&T when I picked up the phone on Sunday. I really wish they had the black plastic case with black rubber case versus the black plastic with gray rubber case. But it is protected for now.
Still looking for a good screen protector for this though.
I got the white and black speck case its not that bulky as i recently stated but its not flimsy either like some of those ebay ones. Its rubber on the inside and a smooth hard plastic on the outside. the phone is very snug in the case you dont have to worry about over time the case looses its shape or gets looser. And not to mention if you do drop the phone at least you know they phone wont fall out of it or the back plate coming off.

I'm almost certain they will be, no worries. They've made screen protectors for far less popular phones.

How are the buttons on this case? I had Candyshell for Inspire and hated it becasue buttons were extremely stiff
just got comfirmation that my two white speck cases shipped through AT&T. Should be here tomorrow, now just have to wait for the phones to ship.
Cases and screen protector
I live in canada and really wanted to get the white speck case but when I contacted them about it they said they didn't know if they had any plans to make them, I replied with the link to the att website where its for sale and they replied with a link to the smartphone cases on their website. So helpful!
So going with the otterbox commuter and gonna get the ghost armour screen protector put on at my local mall. So far its the best I have used.

I wouldn't mind getting one of these if it were less expensive. I've looked online for about a total of 4 hours today and only found the Otter Box cases to my desire. That being said, I can't stand how bulky they make the phone feel.

compared to the otterbox case's prices to this one they are fair the only reason i dont like otterbox cases is because you have to take them apart.

I don't have nails... Bite them. (hey don't judge, it stops me from smoking )
When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...
I'll likely just cut it off.
I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)
Has anyone gotten one of these? I've been tempted to order one but wanted to see if anyone could share an opinion on it. It looks pretty slick for $15.

I bet it would interfere with the NFC chip because it's conductive. It does look pretty cool though.
Hmm that does look nice. Might replace the cheap eBay TPU case I currently have
Does any case work with nfc? I have to take my moko leather case off to use it. I don't care since I only wanted to spend the free $10 but I thought pretty much no case would work.
At that price, I wouldn't be surprised if the "aluminium" part is really just plastic with a brushed metallic-looking coating...something that you can see on some Galaxy Nexus cases and battery covers. If it were really aluminium I'd imagine the case would have to cost over $20. Also it looks like the carbon fiber insert is exactly in the spot where the NFC chip is, which might be their way of letting the NFC chip work through the case.

It shouldn't be plastic, the description states:
soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell
...anodized aluminum shouldn't involve any plastic, and if it does they are grossly mis-representing their product. Which isn't like Poetic. They are actually a pretty decent company, that cares about the opinion of their customers. I had to deal with them when they first released their leather cases and were having magnet issues. Their customer service is top notch.
Regardless, I'm ordering an element case today. I'll let you know how it goes.

I have a tag in my car, behind the plastic in the console, and can beep it through that plastic, and through a folded over moko slim fit case. Thats like half an inch total almost of penetration.. That's weird that you have to take your case off.
The nfc may... go through this aluminum. If it was steel there'd be a less likely chance.

I ordered this case yesterday- it looks really nice and very reasonable at $15 for a metal case.
My update today lists "Wednesday August 29, 2012 - Tuesday September 4, 2012" as my delivery date range.
Don't know if the aluminum case will effect the GPS- but I guess I'll find out soon enough

BTW- it's only a cover for the back of the N7 not the front.

Yeah- I really don't see how they can claim "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" when it's a 100% plastic shell with a thin aluminum billet simply glued on to the center back side of the plastic cover. Inaccurate advertising to be generous!
At least shipping was free- but I requested a RMA because it is not a "soft-coated Anodized Aluminum hard shell" at all- it's cheap plastic.

Possibly- but it would most likely leave a sticky glue residue behind. If you've ever seen the way they attach the metal engraved nameplates to the marble base of trophies- that's how the aluminum plate is attached to the plastic cover- some sort of glue that's bonded to the metal- then pressed on to the plastic for a (semi) permanent bond.
$15 seems a bit steep for a simple plastic back cover for the N7...

I just bought this case the other day and I love it. It protects the phone well enough while still being thin and easy to slip in/out of my pocket. I don't use a screen protector so I can't attest to that aspect.
..
Well its a nice case to be considered for G2....but the same confusion is also arising in my mind regarding the screen protector....whether it would be compatible with it or not.....because as the pics are displayed it might peel off the screen protector....if anybody has used it please post the pics.....

screen protector -
goods - comes with 3 screen protector, easy to do

but pretty good screen protector 7 out of 10
case - i like the simple look so im pretty happy with the case, a bit tough to take out once you put it on, but thank god theirs no battery to pull out

Happy to say i found a red case that's similar to this style. unfortunately I have to remove my bodyguardz clear skin from the phone for it to fit.
I don't think I'm ready do that. Do any of you guys with this case have a skin on your phone? How's the fitment?
To the OP
I got this case today. It's the best feeling case I've used to date on any phone.
I don't use protectors but I think this will play nice with them. It doesn't come way over the bezel like other cases.
I love this case and its design. So sturdy and nice feeling.
LG G2
Its a ***** to take off.....but yeah it feels good and looks sleek
Having bought my first note and seeing as it's a pretty looking thing I was dubious about getting a case, not only because it'd ruin the aesthetics of the device but it'd make it even bigger.
That being said I did find some which keep some of the aesthetics and provide some decent protection.

Anyway, this is all next day delivery so i'll pop a screen shot on to show what they're like.
What cases are you guys using? Should I have got something else?
I wonder if HunterF will be doing one for the Note 4, that'd be the one i'd want over all.
most of the time naked. no screen protector, sometimes i put on my s view cover, spigen neo hybrid or original samsung case. but no screen protector. For me this is not an iphone that easily scratched.

Definitely. I have both and my ip6+ screen scratched from top but nothing
Happened to note4. Both devices are in seperate pockets with nothing else. Therefore what i say is definitely true in my case.
I wish I had the bold confidence of anyone that dares to go bare with this phone. I'm not taking any chances, I have a screen protector(just a cheap plastic one for now till they sort out the glass designs) and a Tech 21 case on it.
At the moment i'm awaiting my protection, I simply don't have the balls to go without, if I had to I could buy another one but I'd rather not.
Plus the case's i've picked look decent, obviously not as good as without but I'll bet it bounces better should I drop it.

For the love of god its only a phone that will be obsolete in a few years. A screen protector and heavy-duty case are overkill IMO.

Yeah, its only an $800 phone that costs a lot to fix if you drop it & shatter the screen. How silly for anyone to want to protect their expensive items from wear and damage
Overkill or not, I think it's much wiser to get a nice-looking case & a screen protector than let your expensive phone get all dinged up and look like s**t, but to each their own I guess.

If he's got money to blow then fair enough, sure I could buy another too but I'd prefer not to throw money away either.
I found with the Ringke Slim case I got scratches on the aluminium edges. Not sure if it was the phone or the case. I am now considering getting a new case but am not sure.
The neo hybrid scratched my bezel a little but, due to it being slightly loose on the edges, I have a ice Uag fits tight as hell, which you would think removing an applying it would scratch the bezel but no, no new scratches since I got the Uag case regardless of how tight the case fits. And I mean TIGHT.
Also any tempered glass screen protector that fits this new screen, without the halo effect by some of the more known and expensive brands, fit like ass.
I wonder if HunterF will be doing one for the Note 4, that'd be the one i'd want over all.[/QUOTE]
Wow that's extremely nice. I like the the UAG cases also. But I don't have any right now. Using it with just a screen protector. I always seem to run caseless at some point with every phone I've had, typically using a case within the first 6 months or so. I seem to be going backwards with this one lol

Yeah, its only an $800 phone that costs a lot to fix if you drop it & shatter the screen. How silly for anyone to want to protect their expensive items from wear and damage
Overkill or not, I think it's much wiser to get a nice-looking case & a screen protector than let your expensive phone get all dinged up and look like s**t, but to each their own I guess.

Not the most positive contribution to the thread but hey ho, it's your opinion. I guess you don't like cases or screen protectors then

I never said don't use a case. I just suggested heavy-duty is overkill. Not the most positive contribution to the thread but hey ho, it's your opinion
BTW the Thread read "Cases! Screen protectors! OR Naked!!"
I love the feel of the phone naked. But I am too scared to use it naked out of the house so naked at home fully clothed out in the streets.

The neo hybrid scratched my bezel a little but, due to it being slightly loose on the edges, I have a ice Uag fits tight as hell, which you would think removing an applying it would scratch the bezel but no, no new scratches since I got the Uag case regardless of how tight the case fits. And I mean TIGHT.

Wirll have to see how These go on, they all get delivered today, So will find out, thank s for the heads up.
I know I've read that a few people have purchased it... my question is for those who have actually received it.
First of all, I believe I read someone had said it DID fit a leather back phone... Can that be confirmed? Also, do you notice any degradation of WiFi or cell signal with the bumper on?
this
Well, all aluminum cases effects the signals and wifi too ... i had use aluminum case on my galaxy s5 ago . Im recommend to not use any aluminum case
Mine shipped today so i guess i will find out in a couple weeks. For $9 it's worth the chance.

This is a bumper, not a case. There is a bit of a difference.
I have one in bound, I will report back when I get it.

I'll probably bevel mine with a dremel. I got the uncoated version because of this.

Got my black bumper in today. I like it so far. Fits well. Doesn't seem like it will leave a mark inn the leather but time will tell.
I got mine a few days ago. I'm not happy about 2 things:
First, putting this on ripped my heart to shreds. It doesn't open nearly enough to fit the phone without seriously risking a scratch.
Then, the bottom part is not fitted properly. There's a space between the back of the phone and the bumper, and I can see through port holes. The phone doesn't jiggle or anything, but the frame is too far from the bottom back of the phone.
I'm using the plastic back BTW, and trust me, you don't want to use this on a leather back. There's no padding at all on this and it will leave marks. @tourbound129 I think someone already tried it and it only took a couple of hours.
I agree that it doesn't hinge apart as much as I would like but I had no problems carefully making it work.
I'm not to worried about it leaving marks in the leather. It won't really show in the black even if it does. And the backs are replaceable.

I'll try to get some later. GF has my G3 so don't have anything to take a pic with.
It did leave a small impression on the leather after leaving it on overnight. I have the textured black leather so not worried about it at all. Not even visible unless you are looking for it.
Has anyone dropped their phone yet, while wearing the aluminum bumper? How did it protect the phone?
The areal where the hinge is damaged the corner of my phone. These things are complete ****e
