Otter box Commuter [mini review] - Sprint LG Optimus G

Alright guys, I recently purchased and otterbox commuter for my LGOG and honestly, its growing on me. Originally it looked kind of weird, but now that I look at it, I kind of like it. We've all seen an otter box before so no real surprises, its just black lol. The reason I got it was because originally, I was using the LG Bumper and everything was fine until one night, I dropped the phone at work and the case bent a little bit. The phone was still pristine, but the drop kind of put everything into perspective for me. I have insurance through best buy, but still...lol
As far as adding bulk, its not TOO bad, but you definitely notice the added weight (I like it) and its a little harder to use with one hand. I mean, what do you expect? Its an otter box. Its a very tight and secure fit all around and pretty easy to install perfectly. You know how some otterboxes look like the don't fit? Like...the silicone is all bent outta shape? Idk...I can't explain it.
At any rate, I picked mine up new for $23 from eBay and I recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to lose this amazing phone.
Also, I'm gonna spray paint mine because the black on black on black is just too basic for me. I'm thinking about going with a red but I'm not sure. Any recommendations?

[REVIEW] Ballistic SG Case (UPDATE)

UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Xshie...648123?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a176d08fb
Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Cases for Nitro HD and Optimus LTE

Hey Crew,
So while I'm waiting for my Nitro to turn up, I found a couple of good cases on eBay.
Not a whole lot of choice at the moment, however you can pick up a good-quality TPU in a lot of different colours from this eBay seller (EDIT: These cases have a corner cut-out for the DTV antenna on the Korean Optimus LTE). They're marked for Optimus LTE on the back, but the finish is good and the actualy feel and presentation is excellent. I went for the 'glitter white' and it looks pretty nice!
If you like brand-name stuff, the only thing I could find was a Speck CandyShell from this seller. I went for the white back, black front version. Yet to receive this one.
Post here if you had any more awesome case finds!
Is there really a hole in the upper corner of the case? Besides that, the cases look nice, but I'm not sure why there's a corner missing in the case, as there's no port of any kind at that spot. Does your case also have that exposed corner? Thanks!
I'm getting the Go Ballistic Hard Core. Might not be brand name (maybe it is?) but I'm sure it will do the job. I doubt Otterbox will make something and this looks like the next best thing.

There is. This case was built for the Korean Optimus LTE, which has a TV tuner extenable antenna in that position.

Ballistic is definitely brand-name, and they are awesome. I had one on my Infuse and it was great. They do add an awful lot of bulk and weight, but their protection is unmatched, even by OtterBox.
Nice find!

I bought like 4 different cases for my Nexus One, after a while (about 5 months) I just didn't like anything and carried it NAKED! Ahhhh, it's good to be free!
I have to admit though, that Ballistic HC case makes the Nitro look MEAN! Like not only am I NOT afraid to drop my phone...But if you mess with me, I'll use it as a projectile to HURT you!
I think I'll look for just a nice neoprene sleeve for my Nitro until I'm comfy enough to carry it NAKED too!
SGP Ultra capsule is available now... ordered a white one.
Man you guys are spoilt with cases. In Australia, we never get SGPs or Specks or Ballistics etc. The fanciest we get is a bloody OtterBox!
I love the SGP for the SGS2, so will definitely grab one for the Nitro.
Sent from my Dell Streak 5 using XDA Premium
When someone gets the SGP ultra capsule, could you let me know if the corner of the phone is really exposed like it shows in the pictures on amazon? I think it's open for the Chinese model which had a tv antenna, but there's no reason for it to be open for the p930, and I KNOW if that corner's out, that's the corner that's going to hit the ground after I drop it on day one =) I just got this black TPU one in the mail from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006MPH3ZW/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
I love it. No unnecessary holes and it's a really nice, tight fit. Only comes in black (no pattern, thank god), though. If the SGP ones don't have exposed corners, I'd love to get the white one! =)
I work for ATT and got the ballistic case for free. Its huge. Ginormous.

So I got one of these phones and I've never actually had a "new" phone that just came out. About how long does it take to get some decent cases to choose from in the market?

They are very good quality. I think they also sport the hole for the DTV antenna, though. I have one for a GS2 though and they're awesome cases!

Yeah, it does have the hole on the right side of the case to support the dtv antenna.
Anybody knows where to get a Speck case for this phone? ATT sells a pink one, but yeaahhh...I'm not gonna test my manliness with a pink case.
I'm also surprised that Incipio is not in on this phone like they were with the atrix. They were one of the first cases available for the Atrix.

Elago Breath Cases GS3 White & Blue pictured on white GS3

Hey guys I ordered two Elago Breathe Cases for the GS3 from Amazon. I purchased the Glossy White as well as a blue called Glossy Coral. They cost $9.99 each and since I have prime I got two day shipping for free. Here is the direct link for the cases for the GS3:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A23S71QXDZCPQA
I purchased the white one for myself and the blue one for my girlfriend. The cases are very thin and sleek. They feel great in the hand and do not add extra bulk to the phone. The top and bottom of the case is open so you wont get overall protection there, so be careful when handling it and not dropping it. There is a slight lip, but I don't think that it will keep the phone raised up enough off a surface if you lay the phone flat on the screen side. I would definitely recommend putting a screen protector on to be combined with this case. I had already purchased a screen protector the day I picked up the phone from the store, however Elago actually sells the case together with a screen protector from amazon as well. The prices for the two combined are $24.99, and the screen protectors from Elago are $8.99 alone. There are cut outs on the sides for the power button and the volume rocker. I feel that the cut outs aren't recessed enough, and your made aware of it however it does not bother me too much. Overall I am very happy with the cases especially for the price. I would definitely buy from Elago again, and I do like the variety of colors that they offer the cases in. I like the Breathe style because they are different than all of these other snap on thin cases and make the phone stand out more. I took some pics from various angles with both cases on the phone and off the phone with my dslr so you guys can take a look for yourselves.
nice review. how well does the phone stay in the case though? i've been hesitant with snap on cases because i'm afraid the phone will come out of it.
are they grippy or are they still really smooth? I am planning on getting a case only because the phone is so smooth i know i'm going to drop it eventually.
It's a great looking case though!

Thanks! The phone is snug within the case. It hasn't come out of the phone. It fell earlier today, and the case popped off but i've had that happen with other cases though. When it fell, there was not damage to the phone. THANK GOD! LOL.

It is smooth but I feel like the perforated holes add grip while your hands are holding it. I used it all day yesterday and today so far and haven't slip because of it being too smooth.
I was hoping that the official vent case for the GS3 looked like the official case for the GS2 but they screwed the look up pretty badly. This one looks good but it needs that flashy silver plaque. Haha.
Although I felt the same way about the actual phone itself but the GS3 grew on me and is now the best looking phone ever. Maybe that official vent case will grow on me as well.
Had an elago s4 on my iPhone. Best case I ever had. Thanks for the review!

Diztronic TPU case

Can anyone recommend this case? I've been searching like mad for the perfect case to fit my requirements, and been having a hard time. I need a case:
Protects phone
Easily removable
Able to slip into/ carry in a side
Leather holster
Must have good grip!
I need good grip as I'm a mechanic
and dirty/greasy hands makes for
more potential dropping. The diztronic case appears to fit my needs, but would appreciate some feedback! Thanks!

I have the diztronic tpu case and i love it. It fits better than any other case i've used for this phone. Slips in and out easily. Doesn't add much to the thickness of the phone. Only recommendation - get it in black. I had it in clear and in smoke, both yellowed in a matter of weeks. I have a black one now and it is awesome! They're pretty cheap too, I got mine on amazon. Think it was like 10 bucks or something...
Sounds good..What about fitting into a side belt holster? Will the case meterial catch too much? I'd like to avoid having to fight getting the phone in and out. Thanks man! For 10 bucks I should prob just try it out lol..

The case doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. You can get the case in matte back finish or glossy back finish. I've always gotten the matte finish, because it looks nice, slides easily, but still provides excellent grip. I've read reviews that the glossy finishes attract dust, and I would imagine the glossy finish one would get caught more easily in your belt holster. I would definitely recommend the matte back black case. I doubt you will be disappointed.
I can't post links because i'm still "new member" (i don't really post a lot), but if you search amazon for B005YEFM8M then you will see the case I am talking about. Currently going for $9.90.
Thanks for the info! I went ahead and ordered the matte black case. I'll come back here and review after I get it.

I have the clear one, and I like it but it has damaged my phone's frame. I think its because it doesn't fit 100% perfectly so dust accumulated in between the frame and the case, thus scratching the frame.
So just make sure you clean it often.

Yea, same thing happened to mine, but as long as you keep a case on it, you can't even tell.
Got the case today and here are my thoughts: Fit and finish is good. My biggest gripe is the sides. Its fairly easy to move the sides away from the phone, and this is especially noticed when pulling the phone out of the side holster. Not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of.
I was anticipating a bit more grip, but its not bad. For protection, I think it should do the job, although dropping the phone from chest height to concrete is something that concerns me. Hopefully I won't have to find out lol. I need a larger side holster as its a bit too tight, and retrieving the phone should be easier. I'll stick with this case for now, but still open to other options.
I still feel like I need just a tiny bit more bulk and grip, to be perfect.

be sure to periodically clean dust from its borders because I think it scuffs the phone otherwise

Screen protectors?

I'm not asking which one to get or anything like that. I'm curious if they are worth it? I know this phone has gorilla glass but I've always had screen protectors on my devices. So I'm a little weary about not having one.
I ask because I just got the diztronic case (had an otter box) and loving it and its size. But if it peels the screen protector I have I might not replace it.
So, are they worth it? If you don't have one, how's your screen looking?
Thanks.

Hey how does the screen protector feel on? I'm sporting a cruzerlite and that's it, and all I have is a tiny almost invisible scratch at bottom
Xtremeguardz has a full skin for our phones on eBay. Buy it now is 3.99 with free shipping. You can bid on a separate listing by them and its 99ยข with 2.99 shipping. I've heard nothing but good things about their products. I just bought an otterbox (I'm currently rocking the diztronic) but the diztronic peeled my screen protector. I don't have one installed currently but so far my entire phone is pristine.
Honestly, I think they're worth it (if you get a good one) because although the cases are great (I've dropped mine with the diztronic on concrete atleast 4 times and still no damage) if we drop our phones and it just happens to land face down on a random rock, we're probably screwed.

Good question... Definitely interested in hearing what everyone has to say about this... I've had my phone with an otterbox and screen protector since I got it a month ago...

Hey how does the screen protector feel on? I'm sporting a cruzerlite and that's it, and all I have is a tiny almost invisible scratch at bottom

Feels good. you cant tell because its nice & smooth like if you were to just have an open screen. only thing is at the bottom corners, the edges of the protector didnt cover full bottom. other then that its fine

Yo I just ordered an Otterbox ($6.75! Brand new) and I just wanted to know how it feels. Like, it's not too bulky is it? I know its an otterbox so I want protection but it doesn't completely turn the device into a brick like those generic two-piece cases does it?

I had the otter box since November. Its not that bulky. Not as bad as other otter box models. It does make the phone a little bigger but not unmanageable. I recently bought the diztronic because I wanted something a smaller.
I might go back to it depending on what others say about not having a screen protector. I have ghost armor now but this new case wants to peel it. I knew about that before buying as it fits really well. But if gorilla glass isn't what it is then I will go back to the otter box with a screen protector.

not really bulky, its actually the perfect size and feel. also its the middle model of the 3. its not the thick 1
and 6.75 brand new congrats! i paid 30 for mine on amazon
Here are a couple shots of the otter box and the diztronic next to each other. Sorry the phone isn't in any as I needed it to take the shots.
Back to the subject, what is everyone's thoughts about this screen without protection on it?

It doesn't scratch that easy but it does scratch I have only a couple scratches on the front but nothing to crazy, I didn't like my screen protector but its probably worth having one on.

Really? Huh, do you feel it really helped prevent damage? I feel like I've beaten the hell out of my LGOG over the last few months when I take it to work- and I've managed to not even scratch it.

Do you have a screen protector?
Currently I'm using ghost armor with otter box but want to use my diztronic if a screen protector isn't needed

Oh whoops- No I haven''t used a screen protector at all since I got the phone in November- I've put the phone through about 8 months of wear and tear in laborer jobs and such and it has held up quite well. When I hold it up to the light there are no scratches- scuffs or other damage to speak of.
I can vouch for the xtremeguards. I've had mine for 5 months or so with no issues. Also have a cheap ebay case I've used since the first week I got it (January). Small dent on 1 corner from when I dropped it the first week... Other than that, its perfect. I've also used invisi-shield in the past and I prefer xtremeguards.
