I would like to see a video of how well this case works because this is the case I'm considering.

thanks for the feedback. I will try to cover that part you need.

Unboxing Out

Just today I ordered from Newegg a black LG G Pad 8.3 and found this case on Amazon. I have one like it for my (now inoperable) Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 and like it so much I wanted to get one for the new tablet. I'm interested in seeing how it works, especially in portrait mode because that's primarily how I use mine.
Let's see who posts a video first...
I'd probably get to it around Wednesday.

I think I got the same case as you from AliExpress. However, the part that holds the case is very poorly molded for me, especially the corners.
Can you take some photos of the corners?

I had a similar case for my htc flyer and the circular rotational part ended up wearing a ring onto the back of the tablet. Does it look like this may cause a similar issue?

I've had the case for a few days now but just received the tablet that goes into it. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to take photos today, but I should tomorrow.
I did, however, put the tablet into the case. Initially, it didn't seem very secure. But I forgot to put a microSD card into the tablet, so I had to remove the tablet from the case. It was way more secure coming out than it felt going in. I'm not worried about protection. (That paragraph would border on pornographic if I weren't talking about a tablet and its case).
The angles of the case seem like they'll be fine. I usually use just the shallow angle, and it didn't seem tippy. As for the ring in back, I had a similar case on my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and there was no wear on the tablet, just a ring of dirt from me putting my index finger in there when holding the tablet. I would imagine the same will happen with the G Pad.
I'll have a more thorough write up tomorrow. And photos.

The case is more imbalanced than I thought it would be when using the G Pad in portrait mode. I guess I'll have to get used to using it in landscape mode...
The plastic "tray" the Pad clips into seems to be covered (not molded, but actually covered) with the same material as the front, which leads to some irregularities in finish. You can see these areas around the corners, which I've included in the photos. But these areas don't interfere with the fit of the case -- they actually might help it be more secure as you have to pull the Pad out past these small "lumps."
The ring on the back features a stationary plastic ring around which the cover rotates. The cover fits loosely, the ring fits tightly. I am not at all concerned about wear and tear in this are, just fingerprints and dirt (which you can already see in the photos).
The case's cutouts are fine, revealing the parts you need access to and covering the rest.
Overall, the case seems worth the money. But I might look around for a similar one that is more stable when using the Pad in portrait mode.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

I could only attach four photos in that last reply. Here are the rest.
Again, feel free to ask any questions you might have.

This case is available all over ebay, and I got mine yesterday ("New Folio 360° Rotating Leather Case Cover For LG G Pad" item 131079877700
sold by super8shopping).
Magnetic on/off feature works perfectly. Great protection of screen (when closed) and all corners. Works nicely as a stand for landscape, but fairly unstable as a stand in portrait. $13.50USD, and I'm very pleased with it. :victory:
Mine is listed as brown, although it's a very light brown:

I don't like this case's instability in portrait mode, so I ordered one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000CKVOOY/
It looks much more stable and can be configured to work with other devices. I'll keep you posted.

Hey, that Akron folding stand was a nice find, liteon. I ordered one, because it looks like it will work with a case on. It should work in portrait.

I have had this stand going back a few years when I had the Motorola Xoom. I also used it with my Nexus 7 (2013) and now with my G Pad and it works great!!

Warning: Most "G Pad 8.3" accessories do not fit VK810 (Verizon LTE)

Like a logical consumer, I assumed that "G Pad 8.3" was all I needed to search for when buying accessories.
The LG G Pad 8.3 VK810 (verizon LTE) is slightly different than the Wifi only model:
1) Camera position moved , result = will not work correctly with the majority of screen protectors currently sold
2) Headphone and IR port position moved, result = will not work with the majority of cases currently sold
3) there is talk on this forum (unconfirmed) that the thickness of the Verizon version is different by a few mm.
I bought the Voia G Pad Jelly today - and while the unit fits in, the headphone jack is partially blocked, mic is nearly blocked, and IR port is nearly blocked.

The Moko G Pad 8.3 case, available on Amazon does work well and fit perfectly on mine. On my GF's, I had to cut the bottom microphone opening a bit larger to allow the mic to be exposed. This wasn't a big deal and I just used a black Sharpie marker to darken the cut area. Thankfully, the Verizon logo is mostly covered up as I cannot stand Verizon and their unnecessarily large logo branding on devices. The Front facing camera, MicroUSB port and power/volume buttons are fully accessible.
The Xtreme Guard Front/Screen protector fits well and does not cover the Front Facing Camera or Ambient light sensor. The Full Body (rear protector needs about a 1/8th of an inch trimmed on the top center section to allow for the SIM/MicroSD slot to be accessible. This is easily accomplished with sharp scissors. The Rear camera and speaker openings line up perfectly. I hope they make a change to the full body protector in the future to make this modification unnecessary.

What LG engineer saw fit to make such unnecessary alterations? Madness . Thanks for the info.

Bummer. I really like the folio case verizon is selling but I have the v500. Has anyone seen that folio case for the v500?

I have the v500 and the "LG" made Verizon case. Indeed the IR and headphones are off. Thickness isn't an issue it's in there solid. Depending on headphone jack I don't see it being an issue. Case is sharp and light weight.
EDIT: forum flipped pics upside, you get the idea though.

Where is the cheapest place to buy cases? Amazon is the only place i know

All speakers cameras microphone light sensor work. Sd sim covered wont open. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EVNHQEK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Edit buttons work and headphone jack clear

FLIP Case

Hello,
Are there any announcements of flip cases for the z3 compact already?
I know it's still early but I want to protect the phone from day 1.

The RoxFit flip case that came with my phone order has kind of grown on me but it needs a sleep wake function like my nexus does to make it worth using I think. Does the Z3c have this ability? I think I might actually get another flip case if possible.

[Q] Magnet closure on 2014 Flip Cover

Seeing how she kept stealing my 2013 Moto G, I got my wife a new (2014) moto G for the holiday season. As I've been a happy user of the (2013) flip cover, I got her one to match. However, it's not working as good for her as it is for me; it doesn't really want to stay shut; the magnet closure is considerably weaker, to the point where it doesn't really do what it's supposed to. Does anyone else have that experience, or is it worth trying to get a replacement one?

It's probably a revision to resolve the issues people were having with the compass

Answering calls from 2nd screen with a flip case

Hi,
I'm in the process of deciding which case to buy for my new V20. I'm tempted by LG's official Quick Cover flip case as LG state you are able to answer calls from the second screen while the case is closed which appeals. However it only has 2 reviews on Amazon and they aren't favourable (e.g. the volume buttons are obscured by the cases hinge).
My question is this though - is this 2nd screen call answering feature unique to LG's case? I can't see how it could be (unless for example the case has some built in rfid tag detected by the V20's NFC), but I saw a comment on the forum about a similar case (VOIA CleanUP) mentioning that the 2nd screen features were no different with the case on to with it off.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,
James

No I have a nillkin case and I'm able to answer calls

I have the CleanUp case. Yes it works when the case is closed and a call there is a small slider in the widow one way to take call one way to reject. Red green icons very easy to use. I like it better than the circles when the case is open. It is only comes up when the case is closed, when open the huge screen with circles appears.
For the volume buttons I am forcing myself to use them with the case closed and its getting easier by the day as my fingers remember where it is. Easy to push just a bit hard to find. I have been thinking of drilling a little hole between the two volume buttons on the hinge so I have a better idea of the button location when feeling for them.
Overall a very sharp case with a few compliments. lux look and feel but you will need to train yourself to use the finger print sensor while opening the phone.

Thanks both for the replies - very helpful. I'll probably purchase either the CleanUp or Nillkin case
