Hi there,
I am new to LG Optimus G Pro, and i am having difficulties finding the alternative back cover for my Gpro. I just dont like the original plastic back cover from LG. So i googling all the accesories i might found.
And i found a carbon fiber skinz at least. But they does not ship to my country. But hey, they gave me an idea, so i went to the sticker shop and made my skinz by myself.
So here is my back cover after i made it. Easy, cheaper than they sell, and it takes only 15 minutes to make it.
Cheers...

Very clean. I need to find white CF from a local store to see if I can find a cheaper solution for regular swaps.
Mine is simple .. can't make a circle hole hha .. this is flip cover that I modified

Some one made it for me :laugh:
What kind of material are these made from? Is it the actual "skin" material that you can keep lifting/Corbin the alignment until you get it just right? These all look sharp.

I'm a big fan of custom skins. My usual go to places (gelaskins and skin it) don't offer skins for the G Pro. I ordered one from cellphoneshop.net while the site is shady and customer service horrible, I did get a nice skin for under 10 bucks including shipping. It's a nice quality vinyl and reusable. Wish I could get into carbon fiber but I can't.

Hi All,
I've found this pretty sleek bumper case for the Optimus G.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hyundai-Hma...605704?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a25312b08
I''ll be getting it in about a week from South Korea, so I'll have picture of how it looks on the phone then.
Just ordered looks great

But its out of stock
Plus one for this bumper case. I also got some Extreme Guard full body protectors (essentially just from and back). Should keep the phone looking sharp. Trying to wait until they get here to use the phone :-S

$25 is just too steep for a rim of plastic. There are good cases out there much cheaper...
Guys its very very good quality way more than I thought it would be its a plastic rim yes with rubber edging along the inside for actual protection

Ooooooh, open back. I'm intrigued! I just might have to get one of these...
Looks beautiful! Is that the one from the OP link on eBay? I was hesitant to buy it until verification that it fit on the Sprint version.
One question, is the bumper "raised" enough so the camera lens doesn't touch the surface of what you are putting it on?

Hey, I just got my case.
I have to agree that the casse offers a great amount of protection for just a bumper.
However, I noticed one problem, which really isn't a problem.
My old blackberry micro usb charging cable doesn't fit in the port with the case on; however, the LG one does.
However, it's really a none issue at the time.
Mind posting pics of the black bumper? I'm considering getting this, but am not too fond of the white one.
Just ordered the black one. From South Korea, so I guess it's going to be a while before I get it.
How long did it take for you guys to receive it?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Optimus-...135349?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2ec4232d75
45$ i dont know i might get this. But going to worry about adding bulk too it. SHould I go for it.?
Looks nice dude
That is nice! I'm curious as to how it attaches though.
It has a cover that clips to the back of the phone, if you look closely at the first image you can see the clip in the top right.
It would not be a replacement back like the Samsung galaxy s3 and note2 flip covers - mainly because the back of the optimus g is not designed to be removed by users.

Is it crazy that I'm digging that first one in yellow, red, brown and black? I like that, especially for the price. Also, in the description, it states, "Practical and functional design with built in pockets to store the credit cards and / or IDs." So I think they both hold some credit/debit cards.

Lets us know what you think of the quality once you get yours. I'm thinking of picking one up but not sure how great the quality is for that price. Very interested
If either of these flip cases had a cutout for the LED notification light, I would definitely give them a try.

But i like the white one. the first link you gave im worried about quality.
the 2nd link looks nice esp the grey one
I ordered one today. Comes from Korea..dang it will take a while if its anything like the GS3 should be very nice. I hope its screen protector friendly, the case I had originally was lifting the edges and screwing them up.

These are a little pricier but they look cool. If you check the sellers other items you'll find a wallet case and a diary case which can be used as a phone stand. I can't place the link but search for eBay seller lovelymuz if you would like.
So it came today. Don't buy it. Its pretty good quality, but the flip cover has no magnet or clip, it just flaps around like a flying flibity flobble. So don't buy it. The more you know...

Went to my local mall and got Ghost Armor installed on my screen. I've had it on my other devices so I knew what to expect. At first it was a little cloudy but it cleared up in a few hours. Feels nice very smooth and screen clarity is as if it isn't there! I tried to take a few pics. Im no photographer so bare with me lol :highfive:
Not sure how i feel about the front. Love the back

Didn't get the back done, i was debating covering up the aluminium, but i decided to do it and im on my way to get it done now, ill update it when I get home.
My one X only had white carbon fiber back on it, so I'm curious how it looks. I like the grip it adds.
I don't know if I'll do the screen or not. The screen on the ONE is amazingly fingerprint resistant.
I wonder if their carbon fiber gun metal would cover up the white sufficiently.

My Body Glove Tactic case..will try it on for size when I get my One Saturday...anybody use this case?
Wow..This case must not be to popular! NOBODY has every used this case??
It looks slick but I can tell from the pics that the edges of the carbon fiber piece look kinda shoddy. That's my biggest complaint about cases with CF. I've never seen one that had perfect edges.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Yeah they do. I Did the carbon fiber myself and I gotta smooth the rough spots out a little more.
I had this case for my evo lte and loved it so I got one for my ONE, just put it on today and so far I like it, not to sure about how good the thin part by the volume buttons is gonna hold up but we will see...

A little delay with getting the phone, will get it Wednesday and i'll post some pics as soon as I get it.
I recently bought a Red Aluminium bumper case for my phone and it looks awesome on my phone just think about Red with Black combination. I will upload some pictures soon so that you can forget about buying a expensive case.
I have uploaded the pics and the last one picture shows it is red in color it is not pink. It is just because of the camera of Canvas 4 that the case looks somewhat pinkish.

I am uploading the picture which I used to create the skin. I don't have the skin right now as it is not shipped yet lets see when they will ship it to me.

I have a similar one. Looks great, but affects GPS and navi. And affects phone signal a bit. If it wasn't for the GPS issue I could have dealt with the loss of a bar or two.

Yes I am experiencing signal drops too I don't know why it is happening as few days past I opened the battery back cover of my phone I saw that the antennas are on the battery back cover not at sides.
I am about to buy a wood skin for my phone, you ever used skin on your phone as I am unable to decide dark wood or light coloured wood is best for black N5??
Both are nice depending on which you use. Dbrand is my first choice and for color, I'd opt for the darker one

No case is worth losing signal strength. Plus, there's no back protection.

Yeah, it looks good, but there are spigen and caseology cases that have a clear back that look great with a carbon fiber skin. And the signal isn't degraded with plastic.
Are there any rubber/plastic bumpers for this phone (don't want to hurt signal)? I never found any. The Google bumpers are just regular cases..

But plastic bumper cases does not look as good as aluminium one. They look just okay instead of buying a plastic bumper case go for a spigen ultra fit case or skin.
