Looking for a good compatible selfie stick for the g3, has anyone got one?
I don't see why most of them wouldn't work. I've got a bluetooth one made by kjstar and it works fine with my G3 without a case. Keep that in mind since it won't fit my G3 with a Verus case.

What's the best armband anyone has found/used for the optimus g pro? I don't want a crappy one like I usually end up with. I've found a few on Amazon but I'm not impressed

So after much searching for "the best armband" ... I believe I have found what I was looking for. There are several options if you go onto Amazon, but they are the generic armbands that don't really appeal to me.

This is what I ended up going with and it works great. The OGP fits in perfectly.
A few caveats: you won't be able to fit the OGP in with a case on. Also, your status bar and hardware buttons at the bottom are going to be difficult to get to. All of this is easily remedied if you use pie. Even without, I was able to navigate just fine.
If anyone wants to see any pictures of the OGP in this case, I can oblige.

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!!
Hey guys
Got my LG G Pad 8.3 GPE a few weeks ago and really starting to love it. However, I'm having a hard time finding a case (available in the US) that I like. I was wondering if you guys could make some suggestions. The ones I've seen on the forum so far haven't really fit the bill or are not available in the US. I have a toddler running around. She doesn't use it but she has grabby hands, something I'm sure many of you are familiar with. I'm not looking for an otterbox but I would like it to cover the screen and provide a little impact protect from short drops (mostly on carpet). Thanks
I just received this one the other day and am loving it. http://www.amazon.com/Smart-Cover-Edition-Tablet-Function/dp/B00GSK46D8
The magnet is solid, stand function works well and is stable, the tablet fire beautifully and the cutouts are perfectly placed... Even around the speakers.
Oh yes and the sleep function works well (smart cover)
My two cents.

I am using the same one on my v510 (GPE) and I am very happy with it, also ordered from Amazon.com
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

hey guys, I'm evaluating and considering the purchase of LG G3 but I wanted to see if there's a case for it, similar to elementcase for other phones that has ports the rear speaker sound to the front? ATM, I have this case --> http://www.elementcase.com/Element-Case-Eclipse-Samsung-Galaxy-S4-Case-p/sms4-1110-xxx0.htm just black on black colors on my SGS4.
Any of you saw anything similar to these?
Thanks in advance.
