Never bought from Fommy, but. . .

It looks like they've got a decent amount of Nexus stuff.

Personally, I'm waiting for incipio
http://www.myincipio.com/category/google_nexus_one_cases/
or
Seidio
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4025.htm

This is what I went with for mine:
Crystal Skin
Should be similar to the ones that were popular with the myTouch / Magic. The resin TPU ones.
And for screen protectors I will see if these are any good. Seems to be an invisible shield / BSE clone.
As long as they hold up until more accessories become available I'm fine.

I don't think the cases from fommy are good because some of the cases block the proximity sensor on the phone.

I've had the resin TPU one on my magic for quite some time, and its the best I have ever used. It doesnt add alot of weight to the phone, and lso one of the easiest to install.

I really hope somebody comes out with a carbon fiber case, that would be sweet.

I am getting the privacy screen protector from Fommy and I'll post back my findings on the sucker.

It'll be cool if moshi comes out w/ something. My friend has one for her iphone and it looks sweet! It is very stream-lined and doesn't make your phone any fatter. I typically hate cases. However, I think what moshi has looks pretty sweet.

That skin looks pretty cool. Care to share any pics of it installed onto your phone when you have a moment?

I know in the past people were saying that magnetic closures messed up the G1's compass over time. Is that turning out to be true? I would think the N1 and any other phone with a compass would suffer the same fate if that is the truth. I like having my compass..

I bought the Ferrari car charger from that site. I ain't get it yet but when I will, ill post a review.

never order from fommy! i had the worst experience with them. i ordered the screen protector and the clear case (both were pre-order).. and also another screen protector for my N97.. later realized they didnt have the cheapest deals.. wanted to cancel the order the same day i ordered them. called customer service, noone picked up. tried a hundred times.. emailed them as well to no avail. come monday, i get a confirmation email that one of the items was shipped. argh! finally after calling nonstop, a customer rep finally picked up. I can only be refunded for the two items that hasn't shipped yet.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with fommy. I on the other hand had no problem with the site. I had no problem calling them and asking them and speaking to a representative.

What about the battery they have...That doesnt look like the right battery! It says it fits 3-4 phones....Dosent look right...What do yall think?

Be very careful ordering from Fommy
Anyone with a few minutes should take a look at this forum thread. It is a long thread and I don't expect anyone to read it all. The bottom line is Fommy does not have much of a credibility when it comes to their salespeople.

I'm hoping I can fit the case in my Seidio holster...

Otterbox had their (old) office on the same floor as one of my clients here in Fort Collins. Pretty sure I have ridden in the elevator with Curt (their CEO) a few times.
Anyways, they make great stuff, and I just wanted to toss in my /2cents to support one of our local success stories. Their Hero case looks solid, and I look forward to hearing back from those of you that ordered one.

Apparently your not in a boat/canoe/kayak and fishing/duck hunting 20-30% of the days in a year like i am smartass. A ziploc bag doesnt cut it in the long run.

Good thing they're so cheap and easy to replace

WTF .. nice way to post the code over the weekend you one ways! my order already shipped after 3 hours and i cant use the code! GEERRRRRRRRR

Wow this looks like a deal for a nice looking case with a screen protector. I usually hate cases but this doesn't look half bad. When people test some of these out, I'd like to know how much bulkier it feels, and how slippery the touchscreen is. I don't tend to like the plasticy screen protectors, I'm more a fan of the rubbery ones. I think sweaty fingers slide easier on them.

That is true but the fact remains they are poor waterproofers.

Double wrap.

Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't dream about taking my Hero on an outdoor trip. I would ESN swap via the website to a cheapo disposable phone.
Come on, do you really need to check your email while fishing or hunting? GPS is the only reason I could see to have it, but if you spend as much time outside as you say you do, don't you already have a portable GPS unit?
Anyway, back on topic... I ordered one of these on Friday when I got the email. Used Google to find a different 10% off code. This case definitely looks like a nice one that will last!

Bring plenty and some hefty bags too. And no, I dont spend that amount of time, and if I did, I wouldnt bring my phone on a boat or canoe or kayak. And yes, I am a smartass.

A) i dont have a junk phone to swap to as i just switched to sprint in nov.
B) i frequently use the google maps and gps function on the phone when i am in my kayak to determine which cut i should go down when exploring new areas.
C) yes i do have a seperate gps BUT it does not have the mapping capabilities.
D) i also use the pdf viewer sometimes to check on boundaries and regulations to the particular area i'm in.
On a side note i was in my kayak about two weeks ago just drifting with the wind browsing this site when my oakleys fell off my head and into the water on the same side. Not really thinking i reached down with the hand holding my phone and grabbed my glasses. Basically the lower third ( up to rigt above the keys) got submerged. I opened up the cheap $10 hard case it was riding in, powered off the phone and pulled the battery. I put the heater in my truck on high on the way home and dried out my hero and all is now well

Amzer and Fommy.com. Con-Artists

Amzer and Fommy.com are joke retailers in my opinion. I ordered a case from them, a hard case, which in the pictures on their site showed that it covered the front bottom portion of the phone completely around the trackball. It looked great in the pic as it showed it protected every exposed area of the phone except the screen and trackball. They charged $17 + 5 shipping which I though was a bit high for a hard case but since it covered the whole phone I thought it was worth it. After waiting 2 weeks for delivery what I got was totally different than what was pictured. It's a hard case that covers only the outer front edge of the phone like a crystal case. Not worth more than five dollars on eBay. I went back on there site and noticed that the small image of the case still looks like what i thought I was ordering but if you hover your mouse over the image a larger image appears that is totally different than the smaller. This image was changed after the day I ordered at some point. I talked to a CSR (Fommy.com) and they had no idea what i was talking about and said they would need to look into it and get back to me, that was a week ago. I e mailed Amzer about it and they never responded back (Partner site). The customer service rep did say i could ship it back at my expense. WTF. Theives and con-artists. Do yourself a favor and don't deal with them. Pass it along.

Add cheapnexusone.com to that list.

Good for us to know about these bad sites! thanks

There's another thread like this as well. I posted on there on my experience. The best way to get in touch with them is during the day on the IM on their site to get ANYTHING done. Emails go unanswered.

Strange.. I ordered an Amzer Argyll case from them and it arrived within 5 days and was perfect..

well i just ordered "the diamond" case yesterday from ultra-cases.com, i will let you guys know how it goes.

G2X battery door

My battery cover is lose at the top right corner near the volume buttons and the other side feels nice and snug. It's bothering me when I hold the phone I can squeeze it and its moving a little and also makes a little creaking noise. Is anyone else cover like this?
If everyones is nice and snug should I call tmobile or lg and request a replacement door? I ordered my phone on the 19th. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Mine is tight all the way around. Was yours always like that? I would exchange only the battery cover if you aren't experiencing any other problems.

I don't remember it always been like this but has been getting worse these past couple days. I think its warping I can see a gap.
I ordered my phone through the retentions dept do you think I can swap the door out in the retail stores? Or will T-Mobile ship me a new door? I'm not sure how this would work out.

Well, just call and ask, I'd say. I don't think T-Mobile stocks replacement parts so you might need to order a new phone and just swap the battery door out when it comes. Keep in mind that in the past, any phones that I have ordered replacements for did NOT come with a battery door! Not sure if the G2x is the same in that regard, but make sure you mention that.

Mine was loose around the bottom of the "with google" strip and was creaking every time I applied pressure right there. My solution: a piece of kleenex slightly larger then the battery. Just put it on top of the battery and it takes care of the extra space in there that causes the creaking without any damage to the phone

I'm thinking about ordering a couple for spares.....anyone interested in going in on it for one at cost let me know. The place above is the only place I've seen them. And I've been looking pretty hard.
Edit...Oops, I didn't see that link in this post. It was in another post about the back door. I'll find the link and post it here.
http://www.globaldirectparts.com/LG-Star-P990-Optimus-2X-Battery-Door-p/lg970940.htm
I like the idea of having a spare because
A) they seem extra flimsy and I am a spare battery sort of guy. Afraid I'm gonna eventually break it replacing batteries three times a day.
B) I want to get some skinit covers and leave them on permanently without ruining a cover in case I need to do a return.
I've signed up for email notification for when the backorder comes in.If anyone wants to combine an order w/ me to get the minimum of five, PM me. Like I say, I need two.
Edit: To clarify. I'm gonna order some of these one way or another. I can absorb 50 or 60 bucks to order some. If you want one speak now. When I get the email saying they're in from backorder. I'll order 5 or 6. When I get them I'll let you know. You paypal me whatever it cost in advance, I'll stick it in an envelope with a 44 cent stamp and mail it to you. I don't want any monies in advance now. If you don't come through, I'm confident I'll sell yours to someone here. But short of seeing cash up front, I'm not ordering more than 5 or six, maybe 7. I have no idea when or if this company will get these or not. But there is a minimum order of 5. I'm not doing anyone any big favors here....you pay what it costs includ/ the stamp. If you want to see my ebay feedback before you send me the ten bucks I'll tell you my user name (then). I simply want a couple of spare covers for my phone.

I'd like to have an extra battery door.

i want to buy one..waitin for it to be stock

Finally went to a T-Mobile store to show them my lose battery door cover. Associate pulled out his personal G2x and said wow mine is on there tight that would piss me off too. He said he would swap out a cover from a returned phone. He went to see if there was any returned phones but I knew there would be a lot from all the problems everyone is experiencing. Now I got a tight fitting cover!

i would just go to tmo store, ask if they have any returned g2x in the back, and if they can just swap a battery door for you. if they give you a hard time, just say hey, you are sending it back anyways and obviously the door is not cosmetically damaged (assuming your door looks like new) and it should not warrant me exchanging the phone for a whole new kit and waste tmos money.
edit, sorry i didnt see the post above mine lol.

I did the same thing. My wife dropped hers while jogging and the tmo Rep handed me a new one. Building relationships and not being a **** goes a long way in retail. She cracked the lens cover. Love tmo.

I recently had a problem where the soft finish of my backplate was peeling, i spoke to and LG rep via IM. and she was more then happy to send me a replacement free of charge, very much pleased and impressed.

I also spoke to a rep via IM and he is sending me a free one time replacement.

Rhinoshield for Oneplus 6 !

Good morning, everyone! I pre-ordered today the CrashGuard and the Impact protectio for my Oneplus6, I would like to know if someone already has the Impact protection ( not the tempred glass) and what is their feedback on the product? Thank you!

I'm curious about the flex impact back protector. It looks like those are available, wondering if anyone has tried it.

i have one applied. Love it. Not a single bubble. covers enough screen for me, i like it
Edit: sorry, misread. i have on impact screen protector. not back

How does the impact screen protector feel vs glass?

We Can have some pics please ?

I preordered CrashGuard bumper.
Nothing yet.

All they said is the first half of August and there is still no update on the official launch date. Can't wait to use rhino shield, first time ever trying the product.

I had one one my Nexus 6P and absolutely loved it. I contacted rhinoshield about making one for the lgv30 and was super disappointed that they had no intentions to produce the case for that phone. Now here I am with a OnePlus 6 and am foaming at the bit for my pre-ordered crash gaurd to finally ship. I think the thing that I like the most about the case is that you get to feel the quality of your phone. With standard cases your left with some sub-par feeling in your hand and fingers. With the crash gaurd you get to experience the quality build of these flagships but still feel somewhat protected. I used to just roll without a case but my fiance is a phone wrecking machine. She's constantly knocking it off the table or magically scratching the screen. I don't even know how she manages to do the things to my phone that she does.

Tempted to oreorder the crash guard as well. Have the oem tgsp installed, hope it doesn't interfere. I feel the need to have this red back open and airee out. May just bite the bullet.

Is not available yet, is it?

Cases are due mid august. No news since preorder though and Rhinoshield are doing a poor job of communicating or engaging.

Got an email saying that it's shipping today.

Does the phone camera touch the table if you leave the phone flat on it?
I think they won't do such a stupid design but just to make sure before ordering

There were buttons available for purchase a week or 2 ago. Now no customizable buttons?! I must have a white case and red buttons to match the red OnePlus...

I think the idea is that the phone never touches flat surfaces when the Crashguard is on. So, even if you drop the phone, as long as the surface is flat, you will never damage the glass of the phone. Unless you drop it right on top of a small rock.
Wait 1-2 days if you like, the shipping facility for my order is less than 300 miles away. I'll post a short review after I get it.

Lucky you! I received an email stating that Mine "shipped" on Thursday and as of Monday is still stuck in "pre-shipment". Waiting patiently over here...
