Free SGP case?

Hey guys, I know I'm probably late on this as everyone has had this phone for a while now and probably has a case. But I have an SGP Ultra Hybrid case I'd like to give away. I know it says Galaxy Nexus on the sticker but after going through the T-Mobile S2 and AT&T Skyrocket forums, I've finally determined that this is for your guys' phone lol. Anyways, I haven't opened it as I intended to give it away as I have a GSM Nexus and have no need for it.
SGP makes good quality cases; even the box it comes with is surprisingly high quality . If you guys aren't familiar with it I'll do a review on it once my other one comes in. The black part is TPU quality while the white back plate is like a matte hard light-weight shell. It feels premium. After tax and shipping and all that it came out to about $27.
Just wondering if anyone would be interested in it. If enough people want it I'll figure a way to give it out. Thanks.

Oh that's nice. I could use one, had my phone for awhile but still haven't found the extra cash in my pocket to get one. Oh well tho, not priority number one for me.

Speaker port and headphone jack doesn't match up with ours but it looks darn close other than that.

Ooh, I'm interested. I can pay for shipping to myself if you still have it!
Thanks for doing this man!

Oh wow seriously? Then I wonder what this one's for....
The black part is TPU so I'd assume it'd be easy to cut a little square for the external speaker. Sorry guys, I was happy because I thought that I finally figured out it was for the Epic Touch 4G.
The power button is to the right so it's definitely for an S2 variant. The size and form factor, plus the little hump at the bottom, has to be for the ET4G.
If you guys still want it I'll still give it away. Usually SGP cases are perfect, dunno how they mess that up.

Id love to have it. I love SGP. And I do need a case! College student here! I could use it!

I don't suppose its for the galaxy nexus like the second picture suggests, huh?

I checked that too. But that phone is more curved out on the sides. Its not boxy looking like the Sprints version. I wanna open it and check at a Sprint store if it will fit your phone, but I would feel lame to give away an opened product lol.

It'll fit, but like a poster before me said, the speaker and 3.5mm port won't work.

Nope, mine is snug since day one. If you bought it recently, I believe you can get an exchange, but don't quote me on that.

Mine only squeeks at the area of the volume controls close to the screen and if I push on the SGP logo on back it has about 1-1.5 mm gap between back of phone and cover? Is this not the case with anyone else? I just got it today but I really don't want to have to pay return shipping

How much for that case of your sir? where have you bought it, online?
Does it have the sticky feel to it or just the plain rubbery feel?
I am actully looking for a good case, don't mean o hijack the thread btw.

You have got to be kidding me
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I have the same thing you said on GSM model. I heard that it fits perfect with the extended battery which I'm waiting for right now. Only reason I bought this case.

Yes, It's kinda loose with the GSM model, mine, which is 6 months old behaves exactly like yours. With the extended battery it fits better. Regards!

Note 2 coming to 5 big boys in november

Anyone care? I will be sticking to the GS3 because the size is just where I like it anything biger would probably be too much...

EDIT: I just read it will have a 1.6ghz Qua core Exynos CPU... I may very well want that in my life!

Can't wait until November, loved the original Note....might be leaving sprint to get it if they don't roll out lte in NY by then.

Take it from me you'll get use to it fairly easy, and whoever said they couldn't fit a note in their pocket is lying, I normally wear skinny jeans and never had a issue with the original note. Only thing I will say is that it will look fairly ridiculous holding it up to your ear to talk, but I've never been one to worry about what people say or think, and I got plenty of compliments about the phone on a daily basis while commuting in the city.

LOL DING!

Yea I'm jumping ship as soon as it launches
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

im very interested in this and conflicted on what to do...
i never even held the original note, but i dont mind the bigger size at all... the more the better to me, and with those specs, wooooo...
might have to hold onto one in the store before deciding what to do...

One thing I'm looking forward to is the stylus, I haven't had one since the touch pro 2, I liked it a lot. Less fingerprints, but I don't like how it's on the Bottom? why would they make it come out of the bottom, it's going to wear out and simply fall out eventually... kinda stupid but whatever...

Yup, I'll be selling my S2 and S3 to pick one up as soon as they come out!

Dude its not a man purse, its a satchel! You'll be like a 21st century Indiana Jones.

If your hands are as big as mine and you can hold your s3 like this....you need the note 2!!!!! Lol i cant wait!!!!!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Choices...

I have a upgrade and Im wondering which phone to get. I like the s3 a lot. Especially the new touchwiz. But I don't like that it could be glitchy and a cheap build. Plus I have had my note for about 6 monthes and I have had some screen problems like the weird ruff spots on it. And I don't want to have the same problems again with the s3. Also is the overheating fixed? I don't want to root this phone (atleast for now) I just want a nice clean reliable and custom experience. Also is the retina display noticeably better? If you have had any problems with your s3 please tell me. Any opinions will be helpful. I'm pretty open minded right now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

U got 3 choices.. gs3, ip5, one x..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Exactly. I don't know much about the iphone5 and one x can you list some pros and cons? That would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Best one is the gs3 cause the one x is older and dosnt have expandable storage or a super amoled or as great dev support and dont get me started with the i****onmyself 5

Save it for the Note 2.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

The note is great its just a tad to big. The 4.8 inch screen of s3 is great size for me. But I have heard it has a number of problems like overheating and its fragile compared to other devices or so I've read. A HUGE pet peeve I have is when the plastic battery door creaks and squeaks. Is that apparent on the g3? And if it does, how well do those metal doors on eBay work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

One more thing. Will the g3 run smooth and reliable without modifing it? I want to use it right out of the box with the least amount of problems as possible
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Never had a problem with my backdoor or overheating and yes its perfectly stable with stock
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Are all the us carrier versions the same spec wise?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Depends.
If by "overheat" you mean getting uncomfortably hot, that only happens when you play intensive games like NOVA3 for extended periods of time.
Backdoor creak has never happened to me, but my buttons on the side creek occasionally.
As for your options, honestly the One X doesn't look shabby, but remember that there is less development in that sector, and that the SGS3 has plenty of devs.
As for the iPhone 5, I can tell you from my experience-- that if you enjoy Android, stay away from iOS unless you want to dumb yourself down to a trained monkey. That's my biggest problem with iOS, it's made for extremely simple people. Jailbreaking can't fix the nature of that OS, and that made me dump my iPhone.
In my opinion, I think you should get the SGS3. Build quality won't reach the iPhone 5's, but other then that you won't have any regrets. Besides, you can always exchange.
Goodluck bud!
PS: All US Carrier models are the same, besides the radio. Same Dual Core A-15's @ 1.5GHz.

The main problem I have with the s3 is build quality,reliability,accessories. The iPhone 5 IA built so nicely it makes me feel like it's actually worth 200-300 dollars. The s3 just doesn't give me that quality feel.

IPhone 5 is also over hyped. You're paying for materials and branding, not quality of product.

Me being me I wouldn't buy any phone but an iPhone 5 right now. Value is too high. Buy that and trade for SGS3 plus cash!

Does everyone's screen look and feel the same as the day they bought it? Like nothing has rubbed of with heavy use? Cause I had that happen to my note

I've had my S3 since early July, naked screened, and when i wipe the slight smudges off of it from my fingers, it shines like the day i bought it.
As for the battery door.... yea, i'm pretty sure the only people you'd hear about it being squeaky or cheap from are the iPhone 5 Republic. To them, anything plastic is sh*t anymore. I'd hate to have seen how they chose a phone 6+ years ago, when very few phones even used a THIN metal shell, and smartphones were limited to Windows Mobile and Blackberries basically. I never hear a noise from it, and it's far from cheap feeling. It's actually Polycarbonate plastic.
I've had it running a custom ROM since i'd say just under a month into having it.... but i still tend to stick to the tweaked stock roms more than CM10 stuff, simply because i like the TouchWiz camera. Runs fantastic.

Now Im reading about loose power buttons and even one guys supposedly fell off. OS and screen size of the s3 combined with the build quality,reliability, and retina display of the iPhone 5 would be a fantastic phone.

Thoughts on the LGOG

I came from the Galaxy S3. Traded for the Optimus yesterday. So far I love it! I do tons of gaming and it feels so much smoother than my S3 did. The keyboard is the ONLY issue I have found so far, it has a very hard time keeping up with me. Lol. What's your thoughts on the most powerful phone in 'Murica?

check out SwiftKey 3 if you're looking for a legitimately good keyboard, its prediction and auto correction features are ridiculously good.
as for the phone, I've got to say it's the best phone I've ever had, and I've had couple of android phones before this (came from the Epic 4G Touch) and also have had iPhone, and none of those are even close to the experience I've gotten on LGOG.

anyone worried about it breaking at all? Having any issues?

The ONLY issue I notice is it runs a little warm BUT I do have a high amount of screen on time. Other than that, I use mine without a case and all and haven't dropped it yet. No weird creaks and seems very well built. I'm in love with the design.

If you want a phone that runs hot, try the Evo3D. I swear, if my heat ever went out in my house, all I had to do was drill the processor in that for a few minutes. Accidently left mine under my pillow one time when it was charging. Got so hot, it burned my face when I tried to make a phone call. I stream Netflix alot, and it got uncomfortable to hold it. This phone runs like a liquid-cooled dream compared to that.
