Griffin Survivor case

Im getting tired of taking my otterbox defender apart every week or so to clean the dust out from the screen. Is the griffin survivor case any better? Ive heard its good, from some ios friends, also does amazon sell it? Thanks.

Griffin doesn't make a Survivor case for the Note 2. There's a chinese knock off that many of us have. I'm not in a position to compare it to an Otterbox. You may want to ask on Vectron's review thread.

As drnihili-zztop (man, that is one cool beard!!!) correctly pointed out, some Chinese manufacturer took S3 design of Survivor and scaled it up for Note 2. The fitment is OK, but the screen quality of the plastic screen protector is cheap. My kids had Survivor for their iPod touch, and I can tell you with certainty it's not the same. It is usable though, and has a great drop protection.
Now, here is a bigger question, why do you even need to use built-in screen protector on your Defender? Otterbox screwed up the design of this case for Note 2. Every comment you read in this forum or any other forum or even Amazon reviews talk about the same thing - awful screen protector. It's not flush with a display, but rather slightly concave up. When you push on the screen protector it sucks in the air/dust from the opening of home button. That's how you get specks of dust and moisture in there. I would say most everybody remove that plastic protector as soon as they get the case (use hair dryer to soften the glue and push it out). Get yourself a decent screen protector like iSmooth or Spigen, and you are in business!

I love the otterbox itself but the screen protector is horrible and yes i have thought about taking it out and getting a zagg but i've read that if i use the s pen it can leave the some indents, then i heard about tempered glass screen protectors. I was very interested in the MIME glass screen protector, but i just don't want to spend the $40 on it if it wouldn't work good with the otterbox defender. Also i heard somewhere elses(i think android central forums) that otterbox was going to revise the defender, i've been waiting on it but i'm tired of waiting. If you can suggest a decent tempered glass screen protector that works with the defender i might give it a chance, or if griffen comes out with a survivor for the Note 2.

If you read MIME review on this forum, everybody had an issue of edges not sticking. Even so it's discounted at 1/2 off, I don't think anybody paid $40, but rather $20(?) I wouldn't recommend it. I'm using VITREO from Seidio: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2210365 and absolutely love it. Yes, its expensive and it's narrow so you don't have any non-sticking edge issues (N2 glass is curved toward the edge), but it also bullet proof. With Defender, I was a little anxious when I placed my Note 2 in it when I had plastic screen protector in, but once plastic screen protector was removed - it was perfect. Keep in mind, I wasn't using real Defender, but rather HK knock off which is 1:1 copy of it (in both quality, fitment, and dimensions). I had original Defender 3-4 months ago, and returned it back after a few days of use; couldn't stand that awful screen protector and the whole bulk wasn't justifiable. Been rocking UAG with VITREO until now when I just switched to ZL 9300 mAh battery and ZL tpu case. But still going back and forth between UAG and stock battery, and ZL setup.

Yep. The one real complaint I have about the fake Survivor is that the screen protector marks up pretty easily. They are still decent cases though and can be had pretty cheap.

IMAK Clear LG G2 Case - My Review

Purchased this case, just got it today (2 weeks shipping to me).
I am not affiliated with the seller in any way, this is simply me documenting my experience with the case so far.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IMAK-D802-2...DA_Cases&var=570205273984&hash=item3f2b1f8de1
I was looking for something light, cheap, snug fitting, and stylish, this case definitely fits the bill.
Lets start with the Negatives:
- the case is clear polycarbonate and is VERY prone to scratching in its current state (in my case I plan on giving it a frosted finish anyway so this doesn't really apply to my case)
- the corners of the phone are still partially exposed with this style of case in the event of drops (again I don't plan on dropping the phone )
Now The Pluses:
- Sturdy, the polycarbonate does not feel fragile or brittle at all and has some flex
- It feels a bit grippier in the hand than the stock back does
- the case edges are raised by 0.5 mm when you lay your phone face down so the screen doesn't touch the surface.
- Cheap under $6 gets the job done for me
- Light, feels alot lighter/more agile in the hand compared to the rubber case I had on it before (doesn't feel like I actually have a case on the phone now).
- Very snug fit; there is no way it is coming off the phone, you have to pry it off.
- See pics below (excuse the iphone pics..):

How do you feel this would compare to some of the more expensive cases in the market (incipio dual pro, spigen) in terms of actual drop protection?
Also, what screen protector are you using? Is that one of those tempered glass screens?

Edited. In terms of drop protection vs. incipio dual pro and spigen, the latters would be better protection, but they will also be bulkier, that is the trade off.
I have a rubber case that is more drop resistant than the IMAK case, but the IMAK is is much lighter/less bulky by comparison.

Edited. I had the quotes in there so you get a notification that you've received a reply.
I wanted to confirm that you really meant to say that the Incipio would have better drop protection than the Spigen and not the other way around (since you later went on to say "but" re bulk), thanks!
Are the exposed rubber portions of the Dual Pro susceptible to major lint/dust attraction? If so, is it easy to clean (I was thinking of getting the white Dual Pro to match a white G2).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered screen protector?
Didn't realize the phone came with a well-fitting screen protector from day 1. That's pretty cool!

I have never used the Spigen or Incipio but I think its fairly safe to say all 3 cases will have enough room for current slim tempered glass screen protectors once companies figure out the curved glass edges which are currently giving screen protector manufacturers a headache.
The stock screen protector is definitely a nice touch in the interim.

No experience with the DualPro, but they list the material as silicone.
My experience with silicone is it's a grippy material and does a good job attracting dust and having it stick to the surface. Cleaning is generally impossible unless you rinse it through some warm tap water.
I left the stock screen protector on my phone as well.

Definitely. My G2 is going to be coming in after black friday (at this point, there's no point in ordering now at full price) so hopefully the extra few weeks gives manufacturers some extra time to get the fit right.

Darn, I literally *just* placed an order for the white case. There was another poster in the forum that said that their DualPro was easy to clean by just wiping the dust/lint away. Now you're making me worry!

Verizon G2 Tempered Glass and Diztronic Case Review

Ok I have purchased hohoo 9H Tempered Glass Screen Guard and 2 Diztronic Cases (Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case and Diztronic High Gloss Clear (Frosted Matte Inside) Flexible TPU Case)
First, the Hohoo Screen Protector...I had little trouble putting it on cause the Hohoo Screen Protector width size was exactly the size of the screen...so I spent a lot of time aligning it perfectly...but after I put it on the screen response with the protector on was good and the screen looked exactly the same as the screen without any protection. Just one thing that is bothering me is that on the top of the protector It doesnt stick well so it makes air gaps...If the air gaps were not big i will not care that much but right now it is coming down all the way to my front facing camera. when I press down on the gaps it decrease and as times goes by the gap gets bigger... I have contacted the seller and see if this is a defected product or not...so I will know pretty soon if i need to live with this or not. But in overall performance of this screen protector is really good in my opinion.
Second, the Diztronic Cases...With Hohoo Screen Protector the case fits really nicely. Its really slim case with good grip on the back. The matted black one was little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case. But the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. This case will protect against everyday use scratches but if you drop the phone i dont think this case will protect it from saving your phone. Overall, if you want a slim case that doesnt any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone get it...if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like otterbox or incipio dualpro.
I have order another Tempered glass protector called "SNP Glass Premium Tempered Glass"...It should be arriving soon so I have to see if that is better than Hohoo protector.
I have put links to the products that I have bought and some pictures.

the diztronic matte case looks really nice, probably gonna get that. Wish it didn't have the logo there but otherwise it is exactly what I want in a case for my G2. Had the Diztronic case for my Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it didn't have any logos, was hoping the logo was only there as a watermark in the Amazon photos but oh well, still want it.

It is a really good case compare to the options that there is for the verizon version. I really dont see any other that is slim as this case with decent protection. In my opinion...the logo looks not to bad....I thought about getting the poetic palette case...but it doesnt protect the bottom and the top so i skipped on that one.

I would like to know which glass screen protector is better. Please let us know. Thanks

Are you leaving the blue protector on the camera ring intentionally?

Is the Hohoo screen protector really tempered glass?
From here it lists it as PMMA.
http://www.amazon.com/Enhanced-Optical-Bulletproof-Protector-Optimus/dp/B00G46WQRE
PMMA is plexiglass.

No. I dont think it is glass...cause I think they are made by using PMMA. Its basically acrylic.
and it doesnt quite feel like glass, but close though. I might be wrong but i think this is a film that has 9h hardness made with PMMA, but with all the characteristic as the tempered glass. Im using it so far and had really no problem on the sensitivity or visual. The screen protector doesnt get scratches and it feel so much better than the cheap screen protector films.
One problem for me is that my screen protector's top part of the film was keep having gaps...so I emailed the seller...and they told me they are going to ship me a new one. In my opinion if you want to get a characteristic as tempered glass protector with less money go for this screen protector. If you want the real tempered glass screen protector then this is not for you.
I still havent received the other tempered glass protector...so until that comes im going to leave this protector on.

I left mine on. I have a Incipio Blue Feather case, and it kinda matches. It also protects.
I even have the plastic stickers still on over my back buttons. They never came off and don't interfere. so why not?
I'm getting interested in some glass SP. I have a cheap Verizon one on there now and its ok. I've seen the ones with the colored (white/black) edges that cover up the logos, which looks REALLY good. Basically looks like a whole new bevel. Have you tried those?
I'm currently looking for some comparisons. I know our screens are hard because of the tapered edges.

Ok the ones with the colored edges tempered glass protector...Well I had that kind of screen protector for my verizon galaxy nexus. The makers were from xgear...and I really didnt like it since it cracked so easily after little bump to the edge of the screen protector...so if you are thinking of buying xgear's tempered glass...i really dont recommend it. (http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/samsung/fantom) <-- This is what I have bought...They claim it is 8H harden protector...but in my case it was really looked really weak tempered glass. It covered the whole surface of the phone but it crack easily. I had two of the same tempered glass (one black and one white) and both crack easily.
I saw this --> (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LG-G2-T...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item4aca615c3b) on ebay...and was going to try it out if neither of the two tempered glass protector didnt work out for me. But only one came but it didnt fail me yet so no need to buy it right now.
But you have to think though if the screen protector is covering the whole screen you have to get a case that doesnt interfere with the screen protector. So back when I was using verizon galaxy nexus, I used cases like the poetic palette case, which has really minimum protector for the phone.
In my opinion...I really dont recommend xgears tempered glass protectors...I think they are really weak made...I personally recommend the Korean brands...or if spigen's tempered glass protectors if they make it.

My VZW G2 Screen Protector and Cases Review

I'm going to post one at a time...so the pictures don't get confused with others. I hope this helps

.....1.....The SNP Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.00)
This one took a long time to receive it since it was coming from Korea with really slow cheap shipment, but the product had no damage so it was all good.
I thought I did good installation on the Tempered glass protector, but all around the edges I had gap (You can see it from the pictures). I contacted the seller and they told me that this screen protector is not for Verizon model, because of the 1mm curved edges. I guess the Korean version of the G2 don't have curved edges and I don't know about Atnt or Tmobile models.
So they gave me a full refund, since they didn't mention that it is not for Verizon models.
But if you have the Korean Version of the phone I really recommend it.
The Tempered glass protector covers close to edge to edge. The responsiveness and the clarity is excellent. The feel of this screen protector is really good. My fingers were sliding across really easy. Edges are smooth rounded so it feels smooth all around the edges.
Since the protector is close to edge to edge you can't use cases like the Diztronic cases or SGP Slim armor, etc. since it interfere with the screen protector that it will lift up the screen protector.
So you have to use the ones like Poetic Palette or Incipio Feather cases or etc.
Even though it had gaps all around the edges I have use this screen protector for 2 weeks and I had no issue with clarity or sensitivity. Overall performance of this tempered glass protector is really fantastic. If this had fit my phone then this one was a keeper...but It was just sad that it didn't fit my G2.

.....2..... Scosche 2.1A High Amp Dual USB Car Charger (Price $6.00)
If you are looking for fast dual USB car charger this one works out great. Like other dual USB car chargers have one 2.1A and one 1.0A Charging ports but Scosche car charging ports are both 2.1A charging ports. In other words...Scosche car chargers will charge 2 devices about the same speed as the OEM wall charger that you got when you bought your G2. It charges really fast.
Overall performance is really excellent. I have used this car charger for over 2 weeks now and have no problem so far. This just does exactly what it is suppose to do. It charges the phone as fast as the rapid wall charger, so this is a keeper for me. In my opinion this car charger is cheap compare other car chargers that charges slower than this.

.....3.....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Price $12.50)
First this screen protector is NOT TEMPERED GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR. This screen protector is made out of PMMA (Poly Methyl Methacrylate), it's basically acrylic. Im saying this because some of the sellers are posting this as a tempered glass protector when it is clearly not. There is a reason why the price point is low.
This one was a defected product which the top part of the screen protector adhesive part was not good that it made air gaps and if I leave it on for a couple of minutes it lifts up by itself, so I contacted the seller and the seller told me that he is sending a new one for me.
The installation wasn't that hard. The screen response was good and the screen clarity was really good. It feel like I was touching a tempered glass screen protector. My fingers glide really smooth. The screen protector size is basically little bit bigger than the screen, but it doesn't cover up the whole front side. In my opinion this is a really good size for the screen protector. Since I can put on Diztronic TPU cases without interfering with the screen protector (just has a tiny gap between the screen protector and the case edges).
Even though this was a defected product everything really work great except for the adhesive part. Going to wait for new one for my final opinion on this screen protector.

...4....The Hohoo 9H Screen Protector (Replacement)
I have received the replacement screen protector and the first thing that I have notice was that the boxing image was different from the first one that they have sent me. The next thing that was different was when I was installing it was the sensor area cut out. It doesn't make a huge difference but just fyi.
The second screen protector that I received had really good adhesives so I didn't get any air gaps. I had no issue with any sensitivity. The screen protector feels really smooth and my fingers slides through easily. The best part about this protector is that the size. I really think this is the best screen protector size for VZW G2.
I really like this screen protector but one problem for me with the screen protector was when I go outside in a really cold weather (near about 0°C) the protector just lifts up by itself for some reason. But if I put it back in a room temperature for a bit it start sticking back to the screen...I have tested 5 times doing this and also sent an email to the seller and the seller just gave me a refund. But in room temperature it doesn't have any problem. The adhesive is actually really good that even though I reattached it more than 5 times it didn't made any gaps or lifting in room temperature. This might be the material of the screen protector problem or I might have got a bad batch but in my experience it happen like that.
Overall performance is excellent. If I didn't had any issue with the lifting then this screen protector was a keeper for me. In my opinion the feel and strength and display is in the same level as the tempered glass protector. If you want tempered glass protector like features without paying a lot. This screen protector might fit for you.
I still have this screen protector on since I don't have any issue in room temperature. But I just have order a new tempered glass protector made from Glassview. It should be coming soon so until then I'm going to keep using this screen protector.

.....5..... Diztronic Cases (Price $10.00)
First impression with these cases were that it's really slim case. Diztronic cases are made out of TPU material. I have purchase two of Diztronic cases, matted black and clear type. Both types of cases have really good grip. The matted black case had so much better resistance against finger prints than the clear case. The matted black case had little bit more slippery feeling than the clear case, but the Matted black looks better than the clear one in my opinion. One final difference between these two types of cases is that the matted black case is $1 more expensive than the clear case.
All the cut out holes were perfectly aligned. On the top it has a lip that even though you put it face down it will protect from the screen touching the surface. This case purpose is basically to protect against everyday use scratches. If you drop the phone with this case on I really don't think this case will protect it from saving your phone.
Overall, if you want a slim case that doesn't any much bulk and protects every corner of your phone this is perfect. But for some reason if you think you will drop the phone get more bulkier case like Otterbox or Incipio Dualpro or etc.

.....6.....Incipio Feather Shine Case (Price $29.99)
I have used this case for over 2 weeks now and it is just perfect for me. Especially the back aluminum finish looks really nice and I don't have to worry about finger prints on the back of my phone anymore. The case fits really tight so there is no worry that the phone is just going to fall off from the case. This case is a really low profile case that it only covers the back and the sides and the four corners of the phone, but not covering the bottom and the top of the phone. This case have slightly lower profile than the Diztronic cases. It has a really small lip on the side of the phone. The lip of the case was about the same size as my screen protector that if I put it face down the screen protector is touching the bottom too. Since my screen protector's thickness is around 0.33mm so I'm assuming that the lip size is around 0.33mm. I'm not too worry about putting my phone face down since the screen protector I have so far stood up pretty good, but if you don't have screen protector just be careful if you are putting it face down.
The back aluminum finish looks nice but it makes the phone a bit slippery. I got some scratches on the aluminum finished back already, I think these scratches came from the keys that was in my pocket. I mean the phone case purpose is to prevent from scratching the actual phone so it is doing its job but it got scratched way too easily than what I was expecting from this case. I think my Hohoo screen protector is so much better against scratches than the aluminum finished case since my screen protector haven't got any scratches so far.
A lot of people complain about this case because of the signal lost, but to me so far I have not lost any signals or the case cause a weak signal. I'm getting the same signal bar with or without the case. I think some people complaining about the signal lost with this case on have got a bad batch of the case.
Overall, I think if you want a really low profile case with really nice look on the back then this case might be good for you. This is not a drop proof case. It's the same thing that I said about Diztronic cases, this is not the case that you want if you think you are going to drop your phone. This case is basically to prevent from everyday scratches.

Did you ever receive that screen protector from Glassview?

Do the screen protectors need to specifically say for verizon? Or are they compatible with any model? I want to buy some screen protectors but they dont specify what model just lg g2

This is definitely a great case for those who are looking for something to make the phone a little easier to hold and protect the back from scratches. The outer lip lets me put my phone face down whereas before I would be afraid of scratching the screen.

Yes I have received the Glassview Tempered Glass protector...Im using it right now for a couple of days to see if this is good or not. So far I like it.
Ill post pictures later.

So is that why the screen protectors that Verizon sold me isnt working with the cheap rubber case I have that came with it, until I can get a new one. Tempered glass?

....what are you talking about...

I use the VZW Screen Protectors they had because I got 20% off the phone (when you buy 2 accessories) and they were like $7 for 3. The VZW guy didn't put it on very well but I used the second one and a hinge method to get it perfectly aligned and centered.
I use a Incipio Feather Rubber Matte Case and it doesn't affect the Screen Protector. The Diztronics are cool but I don't like the big lips around the edges that will screw with the protector sometimes. No problems with the Incipio.
Screen protectors are compatible for all models of G2. Only the Verizon Cases are different because I guess it is a 1mm thicker due to addition of Qi Charging.

.....7.....GlassView Tempered Glass Protector (Price $32.99)
I have used this Tempered Glass Protector for over 2 weeks now and I think this is the one that I'm going to keep.
First, the application process was really easy for me. I installed it in like 30s and was done with perfect alignment. The size and the cutout of this screen protector is just perfect. It avoid all the lifting all around the screen and it is really case friendly that it fits the Diztronic cases. Im not too sure about the bulkier cases like the otterbox or bulkier incipio cases since these cases use up a lot of bezel space. The Thickness is only 0.23mm but The quality of the screen protector is really good. It has 9H hardness that suppose to prevent from everyday scratches and more and it is also shatterproof. The sensitivity and feel of this screen protector is just fantastic. I had no issue with responsiveness and my fingers were gliding through really smoothly. It was really easy to wipes off the fingerprints from the screen protector. Between SNP and Hohoo Screen protector feel of the smoothness wise GlassView is a clear winner for me.
I think this tempered glass is better than the MIME Tempered Glass. Since MIME Tempered Glass is cut short on the sides that doesn't really completely cover the screen but GlassView is covers the whole screen.
Overall, I think this is the best Tempered Glass screen protector that you can find on the market right now (at least for me). I thought about buying iloome flex but it looked too thin and I really don't see that much difference between just regular screen protector and iloome flex. I wanted more sturdy screen protector and I think I found my winner. I think I'm going to stick with GlassView tempered glass protector for a quite a bit before I find something that is better.

Ultra thin case

Anyone out there have an ultra thin case? I prefer these as it doesnt add much bulk to the phone. Whats the thinnest one available but not flush with the screen so if falls flat, the screen doesnt break.

I have a Nillkin Nature, and its pretty compact with a good grip.

I bought a ringke fusion and don't want another case. Good grip, protection and it's a beautiful case.

Its good but you have to make sure to get the screen protectors that leave a little bit of room around the edges of the screen or the case will just push the screen protector off haha.
It is a damn good case and you can also just file off the edges to make room for the larger screen protectors like I did.

I agree with you.

Generic Chinese ones. Always the best. Mostly because this is a phone primarily for the Chinese market so they have the best accessories for it.
Get them on Ali express. If they don't have black at the tip and bottom they should be the smaller sized ones.
Unfortunately cheap means inaccurate and you have to buy white edge remover which is a liquid you can fill the edges of the screen protector so you don't have air in between the sides of the screen and the protector. Works fine and you can get 10 bags for like $2.
Screen protector will be like $1-2 or less if you get in bulk.
Get a case with edges to protect the screen.
If the fall has enough force to break the screen protector the screen itself won't last no matter how strong or expensive the protector was.
Case is the primary defence and the glass screen protectors protect from scratches and feels nicer than plastic film.

I have a Nillkin Nature soft cover, and a Nillkin H+Pro Anti-Explosion Tempered Glass screen protector.
That being said, does anyone know and recommend a good tempered glass that covers the full front and edges ?

I ordered this type.. Will come a week or two..
