LG G4 materials? (besides the back cover) - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Considering getting a G4 and was wondering what the frame is metal? Looks like metal, but I've been fooled by the S4 and S5 before...

Sad.....

It's definitely nice though, worth it, and easy to repair. I have an M9 also which definitely has the best quality material I've ever seen and had, but is not friendly to customization and repair.

Don't see the Vibrant (or any Galaxy S Variant). Google just gives a ton of SGS2 and 3 versions.

Forgot to mention I'm looking for black. Pink is available from the manufacturer, but it isn't my style.

That's similar to the one I have now. I have a Vivid through work and bought a Barely There for it. By far my favorite case.
Thanks for trying though.

You could just buy another battery cover. The case you're looking only protects that part, anyway. I got a soft-touch back from ebay but I don't think it's available anymore. Makes a huge difference to the in-hand feel. The plastic back feels ridiculously cheap in comparison.

I've dropped my work phone twice and both times the case protected the corners.
Found them on gocellular.ca and it arrived today. Awesome.

I got one. They're OK,but a bit bulky to be honest. Took 2 weeks to get here. In all honesty, you can get a genuine grip shell for under 8 quid, a much better option. I just bought one yesterday, best thing I've ever put on the phone.

I only bought it yesterday so I haven't used it but based on your description i think i will like it since I do like a bit of extra grip, I think the next time i buy a case it would be the Grip shell, but i am going to wait for either the price to drop or for fake chinese ones to be released since i dont feel like paying £10 for a £95 device Thanks a lot for the description though as i couldnt find any online!

I've bought a yellow one. :good:
i dont like it much, it does not provide much protection, it's not gripy. I'm using a fosmon hyposnap at the moment as an alternative.

I think the grip is actually quite fine, the lip that wraps around the device has a nice texture that incresaes grip and also access to the Moto indent allows for the index finger to hold on to the device too and tbh this case is more for looks than protection and it looks great in the colour red! Also, the seperate buttons for the volume rocker makes this case superb! Its only £2 lol

i didn't mean it doesn't worth it for 2$ I'm saying when we can get something for 5 bucks it doesn't win the competition. it's definitely a better choice than having no case at all, but i don't find it protective enough for me. it's only beautiful.

Anyone know where to get a replacement back cover?

Pretty much what the title says, does anyone know where I can get a replacement back cover for my v20?
Looking too. Haven't found one yet. Don't know if they're available yet. Lg usually releases these type of things pretty late imo..
Im waiting for any after market ones. Preferably with a soft back like the predecessor V10.

Ugggh, Verizon branded...
After the Note Coral Blue, I find I've grown tired of 16 years of an endless array of black, silver, silver and black, silver...... you get the idea. I wanted a pink V20. I'd take any branding.
i've seen them in china, not sure if they are OEM, mine is in perfect condition, so I have no need to look for one. I also have a Pink V20.

And there likely might not be a lot of options in this area. With the G5s Plus coming out, the G5 Plus is now "old news."
I did find this one, but it's something I might take camping rather than to the office. Plus, all the images are iPhones, which doesn't give me much confidence that it's actually functional for my device.

I wouldn't even call that a case. At least not in the sense of how we talk about phone cases. You're better off using this.

Water-resistant only though.

Water can still damage fingerprint sensor, also the device is already water resistant not waterproof,
so if you want a Waterproof cover try a transparent condom
Touch wont work as expected but hey you got a waterproof case.
Thank me later for this disgusting idea.

What color did you get?

Hi guys!
I am torn between the silver and the black version. Almost all my phones have been black, I had only one silver until now .
I really love the look of my black Note 7, wondering if the V30 will look the same...
So, if anyone got the black version, how do you like it, is it really glossy, how does it compare with a black S/Note Samsung phone?
Thank you !
Bought through T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice. They only have silver. I would have loved to have had that blue. I personally wouldn't do black for fear of it heating up faster if I have it on my dash for navigation. If you never have your phones where they can heat up and hit their thermal cut, black looks great.

No. I'm guessing the only people with them in the US are using imported or LG issued versions at the moment. Are any of the carriers even stocking that color in the US?

Ah, my bad. For some reason I was thinking the blue. But no, I still haven't seen the black one either. I just know my V20 in grey was having enough thermal issues on my dash this summer and couldn't imagine what would have happened if it were black. I was also running streaming audio and maps out of it at the same time though but I don't think the dark color in sun helped me any.
Got my black one on the way. Will be here tomorrow!

I have mine in black. Most of my phones have been black so I thought I wouldn't like another black one, but for what it's worth, it's a very pretty black. Probably does show fingerprints more than other colors however.

I've had mine from tmo since Friday. I ordered Thurs Oct 5th (called in) and the rep gave me overnight shipping. So have had the only color offered. Silver. I really wanted blue! but not available. It is EXACTLY like the G6 just a little larger and smaller bezels.:laugh:

It is glossy. But I love the look of it. I wouldn't say it even feels like glass, more like plastic. Mines going back because it's got a dead pixel on screen so that's annoying.
No choice, silver. Looks good though. I have a Dbrand on the way that I might not use. Silver looks good.

I think that's the first actual "live" shot I've seen of the black. Man it looks sleek. The beast in the background looks cool too.
I wanted the black one but T-Mobile only carried the silver. I'm starting to like it as I use no case. It doesn't show the fingerprints as much as the black model, which I looked at in (I think) was an AT&T store.
