Otterbox Case - Sprint LG Optimus G

Got my case today. It doesn't seem to fit at the headphone jack area. Anyone else seeing this? Besides that, it's a great case so far!

I have the eBay $7 case...same thing w/ the headphone jack, need to find just a thinner one or whittle some of the plastic off if you dare

I have the otterbox case and it fits well on my phone.

I fixed it! I had to put the part covering the jack through first so it was correct.
Did anyone use the screen protector it came with? Is it better than a Zagg?

I couldn't get the screen protector on to my satisfaction. I ordered a Phantom skinz and will report back.

where did you guys get the otterbox case? its not in any of my sprint stores and every time i go to the website it says the case isnt out yet......

From a local sprint store about a week ago.

All the local stores I went to (the same one that wouldn't activate the phone for my SERO-P plan) have 1 or 2 of them in stock. If you are really desperate for it, you can always order it from Sprint's website
I am using one of these right now and it's not bad for the price, good enough to last me until something better comes out.

odd....thats the first time ive seen the case on the sprint site....and ive been checking often.....
and here's what the otterbox site tells me. ( ive also tried on multiple computers, devices, and browsers)

I stopped by my local best buy and got the Rocketfish case. not bad....fits well. in the comment section there was a debate as to weather or not this case was for the at&t or sprint model. its marked as an at&t case, however people with that phone said it didnt fit at all. those who had the sprint version said it fit. and it does. On a side note, the case does have a cut out that looks like it would be for the SD card on the at&t model, which is misleading. though i find the slot to be useful cause you can use a dime or penny to pop the case off. if you dont do that its a pain in the butt to get it undone.
I also have a little concern about the phone getting too hot in the case. after a half hour / hour of playing FPS / Driving games it gets really hot. I may end up moding the case and cutting the back out to make it a "bumper" style case
@Ryocho - thanks for the offer ! gonna see how this case does and see if anything else comes out.
I will say though, i do like the otterbox screen protector, worked out great for my evo. and i dont think they sell them seperate.....

I use this case as well , was kinda bored on the lack of case's we carry at sprint so I did some mix matching......... I know I know its hot pink but hey im good I got a hot lil mexican so im secure with it lol
Oh yea I used the factory shield at first but that high gloss plastic scratches real quick so I cut an S3 invisishield to fit , works for now

How can I get those other colors? Would love it in red. I'm applying a Zagg next week

I can't wait to see some more colors released! My plain old black is boring.

Car Mount/Holster
Just grabbed the Otterbox and everything is great, two questions though.
Besides the sprint generic, has anyone found a good car mount that fits with the case on?
Has anyone found a holster that fits? My hope is i can find a holster that is sideways with the clip at the top and I can slightly modify the case to snap into place.
If i find anything I'll be sure to pass it on!

I highly recommend this mount. The one hand operation is really convenient.

Is that mount guaranteed to fit? I would get it if I had that verification haha.

^^ I am 99% sure it will fit, since reviews say it will fit a s3 with otterbox case, but tight. And with my currently naked optimus G there's about 1/4 inch space on both sides when the arms are fully extended.
But if you have concerns you can get the galaxy note 2 version, which is guaranteed to fit a s3 with otterbox case, optimus g with otterbox should be about the same size.

I love the case. I've had it for most of my phones but my only issue is when it's on the back the plastic slides on smooth surfaces because it's so light of a phone! It's not a big issue but something to mention.

It's a good case. Just a little bulky

Cannot express how glad I am I got this case. Definitely the best case out there now. Accidently dropped my phone out of my pocket while getting out the charging cable and it fell onto concrete from about 3 feet high. And there's not a single scratch, on my phone, or the screen. Woo Otterbox!
And I normally never, ever drop my phone. My last phone only had Ghost Armor on it and one tiny ding after a year and a half. But these things happen and boy am I glad I invested in this gem!

holster
I've been looking for a holster like the defender that will fit this case but haven't had any luck. Anyone else?

Body Glove Mirage Case Review (With Pictures)

I know there have been reviews for the body glove before, but my father has a captivate as well so I took the opportunity to take some pictures with it next to mine for those of you interested in the amount of bulk it ads. While it adds a little bit of thickness and length, I prefer the feel of it compared to running bare. It feels more solid, and less prone to slip in the hand. As for the fit, it is tight enough that I have no fears of it coming off unless I need it to. The feel of the materials is very nice, and it slides in and out of pockets easily. I got one off of ebay for about $10 with shipping, so for that price it's amazing, but I gladly would have payed the $25 or $30 stores are charging. Highly recommended!

have the same case and I've dropped this phone so many times at the bar... bounces rite back... i swear by it too!
While I like my Mirage, I like the cheap ebay "Argyle" TPU sleeves much more, They are slightly slimmer than the Mirage and they fit slightly snugger. For $8.53 they are well worth it.
Just an update, dropped my captivate for the first time today. It fell out of my pocket about 3 feet face up onto concrete. Luckily I had the case on and there was no damage whatsoever. There doesnt even seem to be any indication of an impact on the case. I'm very happy I got it!
Got one for xmas, I love it. gives it a little more girth and easier to hold onto. not rubbery as its a hard rubber but it does provide a little grip.
I very much suggest it for a case.
I dropped my phone today on the street and the body glove protected it real good and nothing happened...It fits the phone perfectly and snug to protect it...Without the case I would imagine some real damage might have been done to the phone...it doesn't come with a screen protector so that also needs to be addressed as well to make sure your phone is really protected.
I got 1 for myself and my son from the att store the day i got 2 captivates and i must say after holding the captivate with the case i cannot use it without a case anymore because it just feels to thin/light weird heh.
The only thing i noticed with the body glove (bought mine "OEM" off ebay) is that fitting it over the top left a slight scuff on the corner(those that are visible only at a specific angle). It might just be how i put on the case although
Just wanted to say thanks for this review with the great pics. I just bought 2 of these cases (one for me, one for my wife). Both of us love them, definitely gives the phone a better, sturdier feel to it.

+1 I can't go without the case either. It feels like it will fly out of my hand at any moment.

I have a cheap vinyl/rubber case. And it collects dust real bad. Do you have this problem with the Body Glove?

Not at all. Doesn't collect dust, lint or anything else from being in and out of my pocket all day. FYI....you can get them fairly cheap on Ebay. Just search for "Samsung Captivate Body Glove" I got a brand new one for around $12 shipped.

Ya my father has a silicone case and I know what you're talking about, its always covered in dirt and dust. There is really no problem of that with the bodyglove except for the occasional dust collecting in the usb port, but thats expected with any case.

Not if you close the USB port cover.
This was the first case I picked up when I got my Captivate in July. Since then I have gotten other cases by Seido and Otterbox but I always come back to this one. Has a more substantial feel to it and doesn't add much bulk. Very nice case.
I think this case is really good cause you have a lot of space to press the volume button and to slide the charging thing. Definitely a great case. Got mine for about 13-14 dollar on the internet.

It's not to bad it's fairly flexible material but stiffer then silicone.
I had/have one of the Incipio cases and it's nice but a royal pain to get off and it's scratched like a hockey puck now. My wife bought the pink mirage case when we got our phones and I wish I had bought my mirage case sooner. Excellent case for the Cappy IMO.

I recomend this fullbody protector

I had a similar one on my Asus Transformer. The back on that is far more textured than the E4GT and it stuck just fine.
I'll post pics once I get it installed. Maybe a video of me trying to install it just for lulz.
mine still hasn't shown up; must be on that slow boat from China, Utah!
I put it on, and took it off. Hated it. Im going to stop dealing with these cheap skins and screen protectors. Going to just spend the money to get the legit one from Steinheil. I have went through like $10 in these cheap protectors.
I put this entire one on on Saturday night....took it off Sunday during Sunday Night Football.
Im picking up one of these and a tpu case and calling it a day.

Which one did you get? I kind of like the Crystal Clear one but also am tempted by the one that resists finger prints.

Got the crystal. I read on the other thread that you barely get fingerprints and all that. Plus I want to keep that sexy clarity
got mine, and installed it, and, actually, its a lot nicer than I thought..
I also got that combo holster/black case from the sprint store, and, the phone fits with the complete cover into the case; so, the phone is completely covered with that clear protective material, and, the case is providing additional protection..
I figure between the 2 things, I should be pretty well protected until Ballistic releases their case for this thing soon..
In for one. Looking for basic cheap skin for the moment.

3 in 1 Combo Case & Holster for Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile)

I first found this on Ebay but the seller sold out.
I found it on Amazon.com for $19.93
Just wondering if any have tried this case out.
Yeah I know...no one really wears belt clips these days lol.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TWBL9S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1RH0KAQ4UOK5L
is that a holster and allows the phones screen to face inward? if so, i am very excited! i just spoke to my friend about that the other day...all the cases ive seen have the screen facing outward and exposed...i dont like the vulnerability of that..i told him i wish i had the resources to pitch an idea like that to someone and get it made...also..is that phone in a rubber case too?
also...im curious about the ease of putting the phone in and out of it...if it will scratch up the back of the case
they are selling on ebay for much cheaper $14
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protector-C...588767?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e68949c9f
Can't you just do that with any holster? Its the same size around, unless some holsters have the button area set but this one seems like both ways since both side are the same amount of space for buttons
DMolina ツ
the package comes with a holster and a case..i dont know about the dimensions of either...if you buy a case or holster separately they may not fit perfectly together...and most holsters are just cases with a small detachable piece on the back to put it on/off of your belt...therefore the screen is facing out..which to me is a no no
like this one..

DO NOT BUY
i got one of these cases for my phone the first week i had it same color and everything and not only is it a cheap POS but it doesn't even snap on the phone snug and is bulkier than a ************ buyer beware!!
It ended up fitting my phone so horribly i demanded a refund from the seller and he told me i didn't need to bother sending it back.
ALSO: the title "3 in 1" combo case is a load of **** because the kick stand doesn't work in landscape...no joke. You can see in the pic i uploaded that the kick stand clip part sticks out and the phone cannot balance on that uneven point it literally just doesn't work.
Also the portrait mode kickstand mode requires you to put your phone in upside down and the kick stand function is based off of extreme pressure on cheaply made plastic and nothing else. When you bend the pincer clip open you can see it bend where it is connected to the holster by a clearly visible glue circle
So yeah just wanted to prevent someone else from wasting twenty bucks... and sorry to those who already did.

I use this iPhone sport armband case for my phone so i can keep it safe and protected but also add no extra bulk. I wish i had a link but i got it from Walmart looked through all their cases and was about to walk out when i saw this beauty sitting on the iPhone exclusive aisle of accessories.
It fits the phone to a tee.. snug as ****. Its almost too good of a fit but manages to be perfect.
Again i wish i could hook it up w link or even brand but i just threw the packaging out as soon as i got it and slipped it in my device heh.
Here's a visual reference I'd imagine wall marts all have similar inventory especially with something like this
I'm aware the phone is not a sgs2 its an evo 3d to demonstrate how much you can see the screen through the window and because i dont have tapatalk installed on it and im too lazy to install it just so i can take a picture of the phone im using with it. Rest assured that the case fits like a dream. The material is also made so you can interact with your screen through it.

Ballistic SG Maxx

Got mine today. It's pretty awesome. The molded screen protector is a great feature. I will likely use it when I am outdoors playing, but switch back to my Rock case when I am lounging indoors.
The belt clip is another great addition. I would take this case over an Otterbox ANY day. It doesn't make it nearly as big and boxy.

How easy is it to remove and put back on and stuff? Surely fairly easy seeing as you're switching between the Rock and the SG?

There was nothing in the box but the case, and a Ballistic decal. The screen protector is flexible plastic. I will add that it distorts the screen a bit if you look at it a certain way. Nothing offensive, but worth noting. Almost like a 3D LCD. It's weird to describe.
I'm assuming you will be able to order them on their website soon. The case was just released a day or two ago.
I have terrible 3G reception where we are camping,so forgive me if my replies take awhile. It took 6 hours to send the first reply yesterday.

I'm already beginning to dislike the plastic screen protector. It seems to be creating a lot of false touches, which causes me to have to use the back button a LOT. It may have to come off and see how it works without it.
I have officially pulled the screen protector off. It was causing WAY too many touch errors. I like nekkid screen better.

I have had this case on the whole time. I forgot about my Rock case. This phone just feels right with this case. It's easy in my hand, and I dropped it onto the kitchen floor, and and it just bounced a little. I about freaked out, but my S3 lives.

thanks for the continuous updates. pretty helpful to see how the case turns out in the long run.
i decided not to go for ballistic or commuter
went ahead to preorder a trident kraken ams. for the price (31 shipped to the US), design and protection i think its the best of the 3. if it doesnt work out ill go for a commuter before ballistic.
I had to remove the Ballistic. Everyone was complaining about not being able to understand me on the phone. The mic is such a tiny hole on the bottom of the phone, it seemed the rubber hole was preventing my voice from carrying. I put the Rock case back on, and the problem is solved. I would imagine this could be the results for any case that covers the bottom of the device.

I was looking at the ballistic at the mall the other day. Liked it. hated the screen protector off the gate, but with a regular protector it was nice. Didn't even think about the mic issue.. Will have to investigate that one.. kind of big deal to be able to have people hear you.

Finally arrived is right. How long does it take for case manufacturers to get the ball out on the heavier duty cases? This phone has been out for about a month or so and with it being such a high end device it seems that there should at least be some buzz on high end case websites about the development of protective overlays. I'm anxious to see a Trident Kraken, Otterbox Defender, or Ballistic Hard Core on this phone.
Also, are there any other worthy manufacturers that I could consider for quality protection besides these guys?
Mine was delivered yesterday, I've been using otter box for about 4 years now the first was a commuter for my 3gs but the protection wasn't very good on it. Upgraded to the defender and it was much better (broke once and they replaced immediately.) . I then bought a s3 (phone) I was hesitant to put a defender on there because the Damn thing would be the size of a kleenex box haha. So I got the commuter for it instead and the design and overall quality of the materials is much much better than it was 4 years ago. It would easily withstand a drop to concrete. I don't think otterbox has plans to make a defender case as far as the website shows.
I've searched for other companies (ballistic, and lifeproof) and they don't seem to be mentioning anything about the e971 so I'm thinking it's doubtful we'll see much more cases unless it explodes in popularity.

Korean F180, its the same body as the Sprint LS970.
OK, case arrived today. CLeaned up my phone and slapped it on. Initial impressions...
- quality materials, fit and finish are high end. Fits the device very well.
- a little bulkier than I had hoped for, but right on par for what I realistically expected. The protective lip around the screen edge of the device is a bit taller/ deeper than I anticipated. Doesn't exactly interfere with using the capacative back/ home/ menu buttons, but I am aware of the case when using them. Definitely adds weight and girth to the device.
- Rubber button covers for the power and volume controls reduce tactile feel of the controls. Even within a few hours, I can tell that the rubber covers on the controls is going to 'break in' and there will be some tactile feel there, but how much is yet to be determined.
- port covers for USB and headphone jack are great. USB port cutout is large enough to accommodate nearly any connector. Headphone jack cutout likely not compatible with L-shaped connectors, however all my earphone connectors are straight.
Sweet mine should be in the mail today or tomorrow but I'm out of town so it will just sit frozen in the mailbox lol

Fantastic case so far all the above stated I agree with however I liked the case being raised along the bezel feels more secure in my hands

I'm usually not "that guy", but if anybody with the case gets a chance, would you mind posting a pic? Thanks a bunch.

Is this case your all talking about for the AT&T version? Just wondering because Otterbox site says its for Sprint only. I know one is wider than the other, but is it close enough to fit good?

Some users reported it was not compatable at all.
using e971 and it fits perfect i believe the e971 is the same size as the bell, telus, and sprint phone the at&t is thinner
How is the screen protector that comes with this case?

Indeed, the AT&T is the only Optimus G in the whole world with a different body.
Here is some pictures for those of you who asked. I took a picture with the screen on too. I wanted to show that the case goes right to the edge of the screen. It makes it somewhat difficult to tap the edge but you still can. I am not a photographer. Also, sorry I could get a better screen picture. Us Americans are still waiting for LG to update our phone.

I picked up the commuter at a cell booth in the local mall, was surprised to find one, this phone is not common around here, 40 bucks even was a great deal for what it is and i couldn't find it any cheaper online.
However I don't like the provided screen protector, top 2 corners are cutout and i'd rather a full cover as I work around a lot of dusty/dirty places, i don't mind if it covers the notification light or front cam.
I like how Otterbox has changed the feel of the silicone/soft piece, i had one on my HTC Desire a long time ago and the amount of pocket fuzz and lint it attracted was crazy so i wasn't interested in them for a long time.
You just made this beautiful phone very ugly with this case
