I want to go to Best Buy today and get the g4 for verizon, but want it in the black leather.
I believe that's the only color available for verizon in leather but the best buy website doesn't show it as being available.
Any idea on this?
Should I buy the leather back later and where would I do that?
I'd rather not go the verizon store as best buy is offering a $100 gift card.
I've been waiting for today and really don't want to have to put off my purchase.
Thanks in advance
I have the black leather from VZW. Pre-ordered mine from Verizon. I like it alot!

I got the VZW Black Leather. Got it from VZ direct. It is available, perhaps bestbuy could order it for you?
was the price the same for the black leather as it is for the regular back with verizon?
You can already buy the leather backs from ebay for about $70 and they'll probably be more widely available in the coming weeks and months, maybe for less.
I'm not sure what I want to do.
I really want this phone today and just thought best buy would have it in leather.
Maybe they will and it's just not on their website.

Same price for leather. I do agree on price drop for backs in the coming weeks. I have my eye on the red leather. I did see some cheep leather backs on ebay. They did look cheap quality though, I would stay away.
Did best buy end up having the black vzw leather for the g4. I really want it to but with the gift card.

No and neither did verizon store. Only for order. Do what I did and buy it with plastic and order leather back later when it's more widely available and cheaper. I got the deep blue and plan on getting red leather to match as back buttons are blue too

Alright, thanks.
the leather isnt worth it man. it feels awful i shouldnt have got the leather one
I had p.o. with bb & vzw. I cancelled the bb to keep the leather fron vzw. I love the leather. Elsewhere here I did the math that shows vzw is cheaper than bb IF you want leather - even with the 100$ gift card. If you want plastic bb is better deal. But if you plan to buy a leather back even if prices drop online buying on vzw @ a cheaper base price (and then tax) to get leather to start is a better deal.

Leather p.o. on vzw was cheaper than plastic on p.o. with bb.

Just ordered: Black TPU case from amazon. (cant post link - I am new)
i have been using the case from Tmobile for the last few days but it is too bulky. I hope this one is a bit thinner. Just passing another option along - will report back when it arrives.
also, these are the screen protectors I found... they will be here soon. again, I will report back ASAP: "REALOOK T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Anti-Fingerprint Premium LCD Screen Protector 2 Pack"
take care,
Doon
Is this the one you bought?
thats the one! i hope it's a good option.
Looks kinda "Meh"
Im sticking with my tmobile case which to my surprise was pretty well made, until reviews about the mesh case get in.

Same here. I saw the gel case in my local store a few days before I got my Vibrant and decided I would wait until it's official "launch" day to see what else they'd get. I got to the store, and not only do they not have any other cases, they don't have the original one anymore! I had to drive 20 minutes to another store to get one and I actually really like it. I planed on getting a gel case anyways just so it could have some shock drop protection, and this case looks and feels great.
Seriously. We pay $600 for this phone. TMO sells this case in high quality for $20 bucks.
if you can afford $600 whats another $20 to save your investment? same goes for the screen protector

sucks to be you if you payed $600 for a phone. t mobile cases are the shiz they do the job well
T-Mobile sells the phone for $500 without a contract? Most people get it cheaper than that...
Why anyone would pay $600 is beyond me...
For those who have an older plan it is worth in the long run to pay 600 now and not being forced into a higher price plan and never being able to get cheaper plan again.

I have the belkin one and i do not recommend it to anyone. Im really not much of a fan of the blue texturing on it and for some reason you cant have the case closed and charge the tab simultaneously. I plan on returning it and getting the sammy one instead.

Only the Samsung case doesn't have cheap elastic bands in the corners or a "pouch" to slide the tablet in...and I hate the leather (or whatever) frame around the screen. I much prefer the way the tab snaps into the Samsung case, leaving the face of the tab clean and completely obstructed. That's why I went for the Samsung case.
I got the Belkin verve case (all black one) just something to protect the tab. The Samsung book one looks nice but I'm waiting for a few more reviews?
I'd like to get the Samsung case as well... hopefully you'll be able to find it from third party vendors for significantly less in the near future.

I'm calling shenanigans on this... I checked about 4 hours ago and just now for the hell of it. Yes, the blue 'buy online' button is there, but when you click the button, it is still back ordered and I have not received my email notification that it was ever in stock today...
Has anyone actually purchased it and have a tracking number?
I have ordered the Samsung Leather Pouch (normally $30). I'm going to look it over and if I feel I need a sturdier case occasionally, then I'm going to pickup the the Samsung Book Case. I am also considering trying out a silicone cover.

IDK why I bought both. Just wanted a second one.
I got the gray slim Belkin case as well. I had a $25 Bestbuy gift card and used that... I'll sell it on craigslist as soon as the Samsung leather case becomes available and gets good reviews...
I think the Belkin isn't that bad actually.

I just bought one at Walmart for like $38, but I'm taking it back. Didn't care for it too much, just my opinion. The phone fit well and it seems really protective, but i have to have something that slides in and out of my pocket easily for work, and it wasn't happening with this thing. I have a friend that just bought several cases at an at&t store for $5 apiece, originally $50 and more, might check there?

Yes $38 for original. Sorry, I don't have a link, I bought it in store. My friend bought 2 ballistic cases and another i'm not sure of, all for $5 apiece from the at&t store, all originally $50 or more! I really like my uag case, its slim, yet protective, although not as much as the bulkier cases. You should check out amazon.com.
I bought the G4 with plastic back, thinking that I can eventually replace the back with a leather one for less than the $40 difference. So far, I have been unable to find a leather back cover for less than that. The cheapest OEM LG cover on ebay is $60. Crazy right?
Anyway, I am sure as time goes on, there will be more and cheaper options.
Meanwhile, if anyone knows of one, please post here. Again, I am looking to replace the plastic back cover with leather, not applying a leather protector case on top. With G4 slightly larger than G3, I find it really bulky and ugly to add anything to it. I will most likely just use it naked with a screen protector.
Mobile Fun has brown and black for pre-order for $50. I think over at AC someone posted that LG might officially be releasing leather backs as early as tomorrow.
An LG rep told me that they will be selling leather cases starting Monday.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks. But I don't think they are worth more than $40, which is what LG wants for them if you buy the one with the leather back. I might be willing to pay $20, but ideally around $10. I know, I am cheap...
Lol...I paid 70 after shipping for my red on on eBay.
Sent from my LG-H810 using XDA Free mobile app
Any more info on the backs straight from LG?
Nothing that I've heard yet. Once It gets it a little later in the day here in Cali I'll text my LG rep see what she says about them.

Shipping is free so I'm getting 2 leather backs for $76.02 including tax.
they may get cheaper in the future but I don't care.
I have the deep blue verizon variant and I ordered the red leather and the yellow leather.
I know the yellow could get dirty, but I'll only use that on certain occasions.
According to web site, they'll be shipped on 6/26.

I didn't like the leather cases. Plus I use a case to protect the sides. So relevant. I got the white back. I love it.
So they're doing 2 cases for the price of one, but I only want one case. Anyone (who doesn't mind getting a Verizon model*) want to go in with me? I'll get two cases, and send you one for half of what I pay plus whatever it costs me to ship it to you. (Bonus if you're in the Chicago area and we can do this in person.)
*LG asks for carrier. I'm guessing that just means some kinda branding, but it's barely possible that brand has something to do with how the case fits. I'm on VZW so I'll be specifying that on the cases when ordering.

Heads up - a few OEM black leather cases just popped up on ebay for $34, cheaper than the BOGO deal. Search for item 251989020528.
Personally I think I will still hold out for the $10 price point. But it's nice to see a quick drop in prices on these...

Not fancy the midnight one? Carphone warehouse also stock the cases, but you'll need to search on Google for Google Pixel 2XL fabric case as if you try and find them on the website you can only find the smaller cases.

Thanks for your offer, but the shipping costs to UK would make it too expensive.
It's currently £28 in UK (approx 37.78 USD) They're also currently 35USD on Google's store in US .
I'm looking for either someone in the UK, or a UK store that still has stock.
I would also like to order the cement one for the non XL Pixel 2 I'm in Portugal, though. If someone find a link not expensive please share

Thanks, I just bought a used one on ebay for 20 euros.
How is it regarding being slippery and getting stains?
I'm also interested about sliperiness (is that even a word? Not my native language).
I find the grip to be perfect. I have the Cement and it picks up the dye from my jeans pretty easily, but I like the look of it after it's done so. I got a black spot on it so I washed it with some soap and hot water and let it air dry. It looked brand new again until I put it back in my pocket.
I'm seriously thinking about returning my fabric case, I feel that the phone its more slippery than without it!
