I don't know if you're interested, but UK-based XtremeSkins still sells their G2 skins on eBay, with wooden, brushed aluminium and carbon fibre materials. They cost between £4-5.

Here is what brushed looks like on my phone (click to enlarge):

Looks great. What about quality?

Great, strong material, any imperfections can be solved by hair dryer. The cut LG logo looks really good on the front. I think it will last long.

I know there's already a plug for this website in another thread, but I wanted to show everyone what is possible with these guys. This is a carbon fiber overlay for my Droid Incredible. I'd have to say it looks pretty rad.
Check out what else they have http://www.grfxpstore.com/store/Android
Awesome! Thanks
That looks really nice. Seems like it's only a sticker though, it would be amazing if it was something like the Invisible Shield with the design printed over it.
I mean, I guess you could call it a sticker. But it's a custom cut vinyl! It's way more resilient than a paper sticker or something, more like a foil. Plus I have an invisible shield under it
It isn't raised up that much because of the shield?

Exactly. It's basically like just having the invisible shield. It's not like I really touch those other parts of the phone so the thickness of the vinyl is a non-issue.
I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.
What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.
I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question

Reception for me hasn't changed, but then again I'm one of those guys that could care less if I lose a bar.
As for the color it's the grey one I got and its not green at all, I know what you mean by the pics though it does look a tad green but in reality it's extremely close to the titanium grey of the phone, just a bit darker and a matte finish.
Yea and no discount, I actually got it from their Canadian dealer here: www.mobii.ca since I'm in Canada it's just more convenient. roughly $110 cad shipped was the damage.

Looks pretty nice but indeed the cost is too high compared to what the unit itself costs. Plus I'm one of those that likes a soft rubber/pattern that provides really good grip and prevents having the phone slip from your hand (that's how my previous one cracked the glass).
Smexy. But not $90 worth of smexy, especially for a bumper. Heck that chinese iPhone look-a-like case costs less and it is a full case.
That looks awesome, covers!
Do you know how the quality compares to sweet armor? I like the look of both, but the sweet armor is on sale right now for $54.
Anyone out there have both of these bumpers?

thanks! tbh i think the quality ois realy top notch, a solid bumper for sure, other than that i cannot compare to the sweet armor as i dont have one.
one more thing i forgot to add was that it really doesnt add much bulk to the phone at all the sides of the case a really thin preserving the width of the phone. it does add to the height though which is no biggie

Thanks for the picture bigox, it looks good.
Corcor, do you have a screen protector on yours? I got the obliq and it actually fits perfect, I was concerned that some cases may peel the protector off on edges.
I was worried about the orange showing but I saw one in store it is not that bad actually. The case feels soft but I believe it still provides protection.
Did you ever drop your phone with this case on? I am planning to return Diztronic case and get this instead (yeah, 4 times the cost, but it seems like a good one, although I cannot find a single review of anyone owning this for G2)
I do not have a screen protector but I have dropped it and it protected the phone nicely

No microphone hole for AT&T version. That's why I passed on Slim Armor, yes it looks great, probably looks the best among all bulky cases. One reviewer got a response from Spigen saying they will update it, I wonder if they updated it...

Is the AT&T version same as T-Mobile? I received my case form Amazon 3 weeks ago and this is what I got.

I bought the G.Lider aluminum bumper case in blue from Casefanatic thinking it would fit the vs980 but no luck, the thicker back makes the case a little too small (sorry I can't post link, have less than 10 posts...)
I tried to return it but casefanatic is ignoring my emails. not sure how it would do with the screen protector, but if you want to try it for a lower price pm me if you'd like to buy it from me -- looks really slick and good quality, although I can't say how it'll hold up in the long term...
I have the second one on vs980. It was a little hard to get on but is great once its on. ( took out the little foam inside) Very solid feel. I've had a few drops from various heights and its protected nicely. No noticeable signal drop and all the ports line up correctly. Had to shave my charger down a little though to get it to fit in the smaller hole.I have an x gear carbon fiber skin and my phone is bad to the bone.

I have the silver bumper with the screws in the bottom right hand corner. Seems to be working absolutely fine so far, and doesn't really add all too much bulk to it. Only complaint I have is the nobbly bit where the case screws together. I use my phone with my right hand a lot and this digs into my palm. Phone signal and WiFi not affected by this case, yet to try GPS.

The screen is pretty much flush with it, I have a screen protector and that's why it looks like it sticks out. I used to like having a lip to protect the screen from scratches but I have edge gestures set up now so I like it to be flush
