On each side of the keyboard there is a crescent shaped piece of clear plastic sort of like a screen protector. Is this something you are supposed to remove or is it there to protect the paint from opening/closing of the unit?

Your better off leving it on. If you take it off, there are two little nubs on the back of the screen that ride in that area to keep space, and if you remove those plastics, it makes marks on either side of the keyboard. If you tilt you screen up and look at the back. the tiny nubs are near the 2 screws.
I suggest leaving it on. It does seem to help keep the sliding movement of the screen from digging in to the case.
Hello everyone,
I know that BMXant has done a review as well for this case, but I am still doing this since this is the black version, and in my opinion, each color makes the phone looks somewhat different
I actually really like this case. I was never a fan of TPU cases due to it being flimsy, and at most times loose and does not hug the phone properly. The SGP Ultra Capsule, on the other hand, is quite a work of art. It feels very nice in the hands, with no sharp or awkward protruding edges or defects. The look is very sleek and actually complements the nice sheen of the phone. It is made to the precise dimensions of the Optimus LTE and fits perfectly, from top to bottom. After putting it on the phone, give it a good squeeze, and you don't see any warping on the case anywhere on the phone.The cutouts are exact and the buttons line up with those on the phone. One thing to pay attention though, this case is actually intended for the Optimus LTE, and thus has the extra cutout at the right top corner of the phone. Nothing is there on the Nitro HD, so be careful with that corner.
Going back a step, I really love the packaging that it comes in. I was expecting it to be in a cheap flimsy plastic packaging or a cardboard box with cheap prints, but WOW, the packaging itself is very nice. As you can see in the pictures, it comes in a solid and rigid plastic container, shaped like the case, with really nice and fine prints on the included papers. I actually find the packaging more appealing than the case, but that's just me
And so, with that, enjoy the following pictures. Do note that these pictures are taken using the LG Nitro HD, with the exception of the few pictures of the phone inside the case. Those are taken with the HTC Rezound.

After using it for about a night, I found a couple of things that's somewhat annoying me. Not too much, but just kinda bothers me.
First, this case is slippery in your hands. Compared to the ribbed battery cover, this case is silky smooth and slides on your palms if you don't grip it with force. It might take time to get use to holding it without it slipping.
Second, I am not sure if this is just me or it's the case, but it seems with this case on, every time I press the power button to turn off the screen, it requires me to press it twice. Pressing it once will turn off the screen but then it turns back on immediately, and I have to press it the second time to completely turn it off. I tried without the case, and I dont have such problem. Only with the case does this happen. I don't know if it's due to the design of the case where the power button is, but so far it's still happening.
BMXant, do u have the same issue with the power button like mine on your case?

I don't have this problem. When you put the case on did you put the bottom in first, or the top? I slowly inserted the top of the phone in to the case and then molded the bottom on. Maybe yours is slightly misaligned?
mmm shiny...look slippery especially when wet. Here in Florida it will be meeting the ground each time it pulled out the pocket. No thank you.
P.S.
what's the deal with the opened top right corner?
One thing i should note: I have an Optimus LTE and there is nothing in the top right corner that requires a cutout.. a little confused here. maybe the LU6200 or the SU640 have a tassle cutout up there???
It wasn't originally designed for your Optimus LTE. It was designed for the Optimus LTE in Korea with the TV antenna which would use that corner of the phone.
^^what he said^^ lol. I have no idea how many devices LG has that bears the same optimus LTE name lol!
Ant, I'll try what u did n put it in top first. I might have done bottom first I can't recall.

Lol! This phone nearly flew out of my hands this afternoon because of the case. Luckily, my highly tuned reflexes kicked in and saved the day
Also, I figured out the double locking issue I had. Apparently, for some odd reason, with this case wrapping around the phone, the way I hold the phone when I try to lock the phone is somewhat odd. I realized that now, when I press the lock button, I also accidentally lightly squeeze the volume button. Now it won't matter if you use stock screenlock app, but I use widgetlocker and enable "volume key to wake" option, so when I press any volume key, the phone wakes up. This didn't happen to me before when the phone was naked because I can feel the buttons there since they protrude out, but with the case, they are only slight bumps on the case and can easily be squeezed.
Well, after 2 days using this case, I have my doubts on this case. It is a nice case don't get me wrong, and will definitely protect the phone stylishly. However, I start feeling weird using it. This is probably why I don't like TPU cases. I started to realize how hard it is to press the physical buttons now, and of course the smoothness of the back makes it very vulnerable to slips. Also, when placed inside my pocket, this case squeaks and "vibrates" as you walk. It's like having a slab of rubber in your pocket, just feels uncomfortable cause it resists movement.
I am really contemplating on either getting a full body protector or stick with this and get a solid case from either Incipio or Speck or some other company. I can't stick with this TPU case.
p.s. also, if anybody loves using TPU case and is thinking of getting one of this, I will be selling this case for cheap, just PM me and we'll talk details.
There seems to be a tiny gap (about a 1/10th of a mm) between the bottom of the screen and the casing. Dust keeps getting stuck between this space, this is specially true if I use a case.. to get rid of it I have to slide the corner of a sheet of paper along the gap to clear any small pieces of dirt stuck there.
Not having this issue on the sides or the top.. does anyone else have space between the bottom of the screen and the casing (wide enough to slide a sheet of paper)?
yup. same here. dust goes in sometimes. the housing seems a lil flexible so i kinda pry it open a little and clean the dust off.
Has anyone bought this? I'd like to see some pictures of it actually on the phone. Mainly curious if it will mess with the edges of my screen protector

I bought one from UK, which is supposedly a clear case but its more like a clear white. Its not completely transparent. This is my favorite so far. Perfect fit. The cutouts are properly aligned. Its TPU but a little rigid than the aftermarket cases. You will not be disappointed. Its hard to explain but its amooth and shiny but not slippery. The cutout for the camera is slightly embossed to protect the lens. This UK version that I have has a provision to attach a lanyard on the upper left hand corner. If you have the full screen protector you will be fine.
Stay away from the Cruzerlite. It will push up the edges of your screen protector.
Factory case arrived today (Pictures)
So I went ahead and ordered it up. Placed the order on Sunday, shipped on Tuesday and arrived today(Friday). I must say I like it a LOT. Nice and slim, and its the first case I've seen in person that gives it a little face protection, yet doesn't aggravate my Zagg HD. I also am a big fan of the tabs that cover up the charging and headphone ports. Though we will see if they or I stand the test of time with them. Anyway, enjoy the photos and let me know if you have any questions about it.
Oh, P.S. It does NOT have a Samsung logo on it like in the photo from their site. Doesn't make too much of a difference I guess, but for some reason I was a little let down by that
Samsung case
The one I just received is essentially a pebble blue back with a flap that folds over the screen to protect it. Its about as minimal as you can get!. You just pop your back off put the new one on, looks just like the back you took off only now there is a nice flap to keep the screen protected. Of course there is not much protection if you drop it, other than you now have a "spare" back for the phone. I have a TPU case also, not sure which I like better. But if your in to a minimal look, this is the case!
Yeah I have that one, and love it. I also have a case-mate one that's really thin that I also like. I feel this one adds a decent amount of protection to the back and sides.
How easy is it to press the power button?
Thanks for the pics.

Real easy. The raised part of the case doesn't protrude too much. Only Issue Im having is when I hit the lock button with my thumb I sometimes hit the volume rocker with my pointer finger

After reading your review, I got mine on BestBuy with the samsung logo on it
thank you :good:
I bought the LE1 pro (us version) for my daughter. Phone was in her purse, and the purse flipped upside down, and the phone fell from about 3FT and hit hard on a concrete floor. At the time, it had tempered glass on it, and was in a hard case. It's a small crack in the bottom right corner (see pic). I used super glue, and a needle to best fill/bond the crack. LCD was not damaged. Based on the picture, does it appear the crack could expand?

My Le1 Pro hit the floor two weeks ago at the lower right corner like yours. Mine has a lot more cracks than yours. One crack is completely from upper left to lower right corner.
It is still working like before. No further cracks no splinters.
I did nothing else, except ordering a spare LCD just to be on the safe side.

So far the crack hasn't expanded. I ordered a different TPU case. Currently have a "hardcase" on it which contacts like a brick if it it's the floor. Ordered this Silicone TPU case with a soft back.
