[Q] Case discussion - LG Optimus G (International)

First: do the at&t and sprint versions use the same case?
Second: Are there any cases out for at&t yet if the answer to the first question is no?

I don't know the answer to the first question. The second answer is the AT&T store has two cases available, a Body Glove case and a Belkin bumper. Otterbox also has a case coming out that looks pretty nice. http://www.otterbox.com/LG-Optimus-...us-g_color=20&start=1&cgid=lg-optimus-g-cases Not sure what variant that Otterbox case if for though. Apparently Best Buy also has a RocketFish case available.

1st question: No. They're slightly different shaped and I think the camera is in a different spot.

Correct. I use the bumper case with my att lg og, and really like it. Although it completely covers the power button, thus making the notification light unusable.

**pics included** Black Cruzer Case on Amazon fits GSM perfect

I got the black glossy Cruzer case from Amazon and it fits snug and tight...better than my Incipio case I purchased from the Verizon store. The case is nice and durable. The power button and 3 prongs are open and the volume keys are closed with a nice rough texture. The volume keys are very easy to use since they are sealed. I recommend this case to GSM Galaxy Nexus owners and the price is not bad at all.
I gave it a 5 star review on Amazon.
Here is a link...
Check out the other designs Cruzer has... Android print case looks pretty cool too.

How is the fit and finish, for lack of a better term, of the case? How tightly does it fit around the face and how are the areas around the mold seam?
I'm currently using this Qubits case and while it is quite good, it is not perfect.

The fit and finish is great. It is not loose around the face or around the seams. Im telling you, this fits nice and tight all around the phone.
Sorry guys.... I'll get pics later today...give me about 2 hours.

I have this case and while it fits perfectly it takes away from the look of the phone. Also makes it bulky and just not the same. I have a smoked one if someone wants it. Will sell it for $5.

Sale at Amazon on these
FYI - if you want more than one, you can get three for the price of two at Amazon - use promo code BUY2GONE. Several different colors, two different patterns.

I got black. I didn't care too much about the color though. I only use the case when I am in route from one location to another. When I'm at home or at the office I take the case off.

Confirming that the 2000mah Extended Battery is Legit [GSM]

Just received it in the mail today. Definitely OEM and adds a very minimal amount of bulk. The only thing it doesn't do is curve in around the bottom of the phone, making it look more uniform. My Amzer case also fits this perfectly and i'm sure all other do as well. Here's the link if interested.

want to buy this so bad, but i won't be able to use my case with it. honestly though i'm getting great battery life. but i'll be sure to bookmark that link for the future maybe.
I also ordered from Shimshop. What date did you place your order? Just wondering how long delivery took!
Regards.
4 1/2 hours vs. 4 hours worth it?
This battery is a marginal increase in capacity and probably makes the phone incompatible with OEM accessories.
Is it worth it?

If you're using the extended battery with the GSM version you can just use cases meant for the LTE version since they are both marginally thicker than the GSM version with the normal battery.

Now that we know that it can fit in our GSM Nexus, the question is how significant is the improvement.
In your normal use, how long does the normal battery and the extended battery lasts?

[Q] HTC Double-Dip Case Question

Hello all,
I have seen/heard many things about the double-dip case for the HTC One (which I'm picking up next week!), however I am trying to find & buy the black/grey/black double dip case and can't find it anywhere! If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would me much appreciated.
Also, does it even exist/is it out yet? Almost everywhere I look I only see the red/white/black one, but on HTC's official site, the 4th picture accross shows the one I'm looking for.
Again, any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Don't buy the double dip...overpriced...and scratches your phone...

I did read here on the forums that some people's phones were scratched because of it, but that the cause was remnant plastic from the speaker grill holes.
Also, I don't think it is too badly overpriced. Maybe by $5. Most of the other slim cases sell for around $20.

The HTC One itself does bear striking similarities (and I'm getting the black one, so even more so) to the iPhone 5 already, I don't really mind that. After all, everyone tries to copy the iphone in some way or another. Just look at Samsung. Plus, the case is basically the same as the back of the phone itself. Just a little added protection .
I have double dip case and it hasn't scratched my phone. Picking up the case-mate tough case to go with all the others I have. It's an addiction!

Congrats! It seems as though you are one of the few to manage that!
I figure if I'm careful enough, I too won't hurt the phone too badly...
Is Black/Grey/Black Double Dip case no longer available ?
I have the black body with grey top and bottom speaker grills also black top and bottom speaker grills
This way you can have black black black or grey black grey combination
I never use this case, PM me if you are interested

I have the double dip, and as long as your careful it won't scratch your phone
It's a super tight fit so make sure your screen protector is thin (if you have one) and NO SKINS
they have all color combos on ebay. (sorry no link)

I haven't seen all the colors from the official HTC site so I was the wondering what the build quality is.
I'll give it ago anyways. Thanks for the same eBay link, I live in Australia so its very helpful!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta
So I bought the grey/black one from that seller. Build quality seems solid. I have never played around with the red/black/grey one so I can't compare.
Fit was snug but no scratches. Volume buttons are a bigger pain then without the case which says something since they already weren't that great. Everything else seems pretty good. I like that it doesn't add much bulk to the phone.
Won the auction on the 19th (Friday) and received the cover on the 30th (Tuesday). Not bad considering it was an international delivery.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Find a case for my mom

Hi All,
I searched around on here and found some good selections.
My mom does not care about looks-I want to get her the best protection for the best price. I found a lot of choices and before buying, just thought I'd ask if anyone had any recommendations. She does not need the phone to slide in/out of her pockets--case can be thicker.
Thank you
Otterbox would be my guess, but look at other cases too.

Which cases /covers are known to properly fit the 2013 LTE model?
ASUS premium case fits perfectly for me. So did the travel case. I think any of them should fit the LTE version.

The reason is : the wifi and the LTE models have different dimensions. A case or even a screen protector which fits one model will not necessarily fit the other model .

A word of warning...it turns out that the dimensions of the WiFi and LTE models are ever-so-slightly different. If you read reviews of the official OEM Asus "premium case" for the 2013 Nexus 7, you'll find page after page of people telling you it doesn't fit. I ordered one and sure enough, it didn't fit my WiFi model. However, Friday, I met up with fellow XDA member @Bob Smith42 and tried the case on his LTE model. Lo-and-behold, it fit like a glove. I have an LTE model on the way anyway, so I'm keeping the case until it shows up. But regardless I just figured I'd put the warning out there for everyone.

That is good to know, didn't realize that. Makes sense why so many were giving bad reviews of the premium case and mine fits perfectly.
