Here's some pics of the kickstand case. mcp2009 also has a video of it in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8445306&postcount=27
i think this case looks pretty nice, surprisingly. i was expecting it to be bulky but it really isnt. the kickstand function is neat.
UPDATE: Don't be like many of us, and forget to remove the "MADE IN CHINA" sticker on the back cover.
UPDATE 2: I purchased the cheapo Lux brand black rubber-like case from amazon and this black case is significantly thinner than the clear kickstand case, in case you are wondering.
Lol yay someone mentioned me in a post I feel special. Haha, but yea man the case is great and the kickstand works very well. I like how it's not a cheap clip that turns and makes the phone stand up if you lean it.

Although I'd much rather have a full, clear Zagg shield that doesn't make the phone any thicker at all, I do like the kickstand. Would make viewing videos at work much easier.
How well does this hold on there? If I dropped it (which I try to avoid), would it pop off and allow the phone to be scratched or do you think it would survive a drop?
its stuck on the phone pretty good in the back. it took me some effort to remove it when I realized I forgot to take the made in china sticker off.

Good to hear.

I'm satisfied with this case for the time being. I would REALLY like to go bare, but I can't bring myself to do it. This phone is damn sexy

Yep, being sexy is a double-edged sword. I want to keep it naked, but at the same time I don't want it to get a scratch
yeps just got this case the other day i love it. but yes i have to admit it is pretty difficult to remove. hey btw does this kickstand supposed to lock in place when its out? because i can lock it but im not sure if thats wat its supposed to do or im just pushing it past what its supposed to lol

oh, i never even notice that it can "lock" there. looks like that's a feature though i never brought it that far.
and... yes. the phone is sexy. i want to not use a case too but my G1, caseless, looked beat up so badly after much use. my nexus with a gel case looked pristine when i sold it last week.

Haha! First, I didn't realize it had a kickstand. My girlfriend picked up the case, but I declined. She isn't aware of the kickstand either Second, I did the exact same thing as you, minotauri... forgot to take the sticker off the inside for her!
And yes, it is VERY difficult to remove the case. It's on there good.

I did the same thing....left the back sticker on...but wasn't that bad removing the case though.
Its attractive and the hard case will protect the phone better than the "skins" if dropped. The kickstand is a definite added plus
That and the Zagg screen protector...a great combination!
I purchased this case yesterday along with the g2 screen protectors, and the tmobile guy semi warped my phone while trying to remove the case because that damn sticker was left on there when he put it on. Its barely noticeable but I can tell. When the phone is completely closed, the left side wiggles (not the term I am looking for) ever so slightly. But it did not do that before. Wtf.

LOL - I'm glad many of you also left the sticker on and it wasn't juts me being stupid. I guess we're all too excited to keep our new toy protected to remove all the packaging. I'll edit the 1st post to tell people to remove it hehe.
That's too bad about your phone. mine doesn't wiggle... maybe you can get an exchange from the same guy who broke it?
How does this case handle the heat when it's being used?
I'm using the slip case that came with my N1. The G2 just barely fits, but its nice and snug but not too hard to remove. As the case stretches a bit, it will become easier to insert and remove.
That case has already saved my nexus from certain disfigurement. I'm glad it will continue to serve me.

From the picture it looks like a solid one-piece, but then how would you get the phone in there?
"The lock on the side holds the top and bottom of the case tightly together and prevents the case from accidentally opening"
It seems that it's some kind of lock, so that would mean it's openable, but don't hold me to that
*Edit*: http://cheapdroids.com/T-Mobile-G2-Monaco-Aluminum-Case-Silver-Open-Screen-Design.html
Thats the silver one, there you can see the long mechanism a bit better, so from the looks of it, you can still open it.

Definitely looking forward to an XDA member's review on this with better pics!
Once I get it pics and review will be up i really just want something easier to take on an off then the ones that tmobile has cause I use a case for work which is painting, and the tmobile cases felt like i would screw the phone up taking them on and off alot.
I am very interested in this case as well and will probably order. I found a different seller on eBay selling this case, link below. It includes more pictures as well.

Well a lot of people around here are looking for that. Something to lock the keyboard in place during normal day to day use. That way it isn't opening in your pocket and stuff like that.

Yea that works out for them but it means im still on the hunt >>
I agree in theory you shouldn't have to need this case. But if you are like me, my phone hinge is loose and it feels wobbly to even text. So if this case can hold the goods together securely then it looks like its worth it.
Just ordered one. Let's see if its better then the otterbox.

Looks sturdy. The added bulk keeps me away though.
I agree, I am worried about the excess bulkiness. Looks like a brick! All my friends have iPhone 4's so I dont want to pull out something looking a decade old! However pics and youtube videos can be deceiving. The G2 is a beautiful phone and doesnt seem to show scratches easy. I too have the loose hinge and like I said in a previous post, scotch tape on the sides is the best answer!

Agreed. I always find myself buying cases for all of my devices. 2 weeks later i end up ditching them going back to naked. right now i just have the stealthguards full body protector on which is excellent even for 10$. I, for one, hate the g2's keyboard, however, its one of the best ones out thus far. (if that makes any sense)
Anybody who ordered this case received it yet? Ordered mine on the 17th and still hasn't arrived....

DO NOT ORDER. Took forever to come and the case is complete crap. Finish sucks. Build sucks. Overall suck

You know, I like the metal "stripe" down the back, but can you believe my fingernail scratched it? I don't think that bodes well for the long haul if I can scratch it that easily. And it's a real scratch, not a surface blemish as far as I can tell.
Anyone else already scratch the metal?
Mine is scratched, or scuffed, and I have no idea how it happened. I have been babying this thing.
i assume you took the plastic off of it? cause the plastic is easy to scratch. =) haha.

Yeah I just tried it again and I couldn't either, so I'm thinking it was there already. The reason I scratched with my nail in the first place was I thought I saw some left over plastic or something still there. So I tried to scratch it off.
Instead of putting ugly bulky cases on my devices I just buy a couple spare battery covers on Ebay a couple months after the phone is released. I always wonder why people cover up there nice looking phone with a rubber case. Wonder why the manufacturers just don't make a rubber phone?

hey, it really does happen. i havent taken off the protectors cause they're not peeling for me. lol.
I am very very careful with all of my phones. I have yet to actually scratch one(I always use cases and screen protectors.) I was shocked when after only having installed the battery and set the device down that the aluminum strip had multiple scratches on it. I have no idea how they got there. Went to local T Mobile store and checked their demo unit and NO SCRATCHES . With all of the handling etc no scratches!!! I wonder if it is a quality control issue with the aluminum? I put a case on it within 4 hours of receiving it. I am having to send this one back due to random reboots -signal issues-battery overheating-lcd screen bleeding at edges- so I will be very very careful to see what this aluminum strip on the back is like. I am starting to wonder whether this phone is ready for prime time or not due to all the issues I have found and the many other issues others have found. I believe this can be a giant of a phone if all of the bugs can be worked out.

Well, I exchanged it thanks to the nice folks at T-mobile.
Make sure it's not the plastic on the strip that's messed up, as the first thing they checked was whether or not the plastic was still on.

Mine did that the other day. I looked at it and was like, "OMFG... already!"

Dropping phones is inevitable. It will SOON eventually happen. I hate to put on cases too, but it's necessary.
I would have just left the plastic on...why take it off? It was literally invisible and you couldn't tell it was even there.
The Galaxy is actually a beast. I've dropped mine so many times and it held up. Don't let the lightness fool us..it's one beast and held it's own on it's fall...impressive.
As they say, the bigger and heavier you are, the harder you fall...
There's a huge advantage of the Galaxy being light...
The worst phones for falls are HTC's...wayyy to heavy...
I agree with dropping the galaxy s. That phone is well built! People may not like the plastic build but it is a very durable phone!
Regarding the G2x, I am carrying it naked it is a good looking phone. Gonna buy the European battery covers when they become available.
Just bought it at the vzw store. Vry good build quality. Fits the phone awesome and doesn't bulk it up too much. Just a heads up it's 20% off

Loving this case. It does make the phone bulkier, but I have big hands so it works out for me.
The feather case was just released as well. It still does not have a cutout for the hdmi port. They said it would compromise the protection the case gives the phone. I don't get it, if everyone else can include a cutout for the port why don't they? I am disappointed because I used the feather on my Atrix and I have never used a case I liked that much.

Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I don't use the hdmi port enough to care that much, but I have been wanting a super thin/light case for awhile. Kinda pricey though.
love this case, but it's somewhat hard to get the hard cover over the rubbery inside layer. I've ripped mine already. I'm still able get the case to work ok, but just wanted to let anyone know who owns this case that you have to be careful with the soft layer.

I don't use it that much either but its a pain in the ass to remove when I do want to use it. There is no reason they can't make the cutout, every other case has it.
I couldn't get mine on! The corners would scrunch up on the side I was putting in last, and it made it impossible to fit properly.

You have to work it on slowly while pulling the edges of the hard cover outward with your thumbnails (until your thumbnail hurts, then you're pulling hard enough). Loosening the hard cover before installing by gently pulling the sides outward for a couple minutes also helps.
Does anyone have a link to this case on the Verizon site? I just went to the Verizon store and they said they don't carry the double cover for the Charge and I can't find it on their site either.
I have one, got it with the phone when I bought the phone off someone. I don't like it at all, makes the phone heavy and bulky but its free and im not spending money on a case when I know I will be selling the Charge as soon as the Samsung Galaxy S2 is out.
I received my Seidio Surface case on Wednesday. At first, I was really excited. The case has a nice finish and good build quality. However, yesterday I decided to take the case off to clean my phone and I saw the four corners of the phone very deeply scratched. The bezel also has some scratches.
Before someone says it's because of debris and dust that gets in the case, I am pretty sure that I cleaned the case very well and dusted if off with a can of compressed air. The scratches were definitely caused by the case.
I am deeply disappointed with Seidio and their product. This piece o junk that costs almost 40 bucks was meant to protect my device, yet it did the opposite.
EDITED: Here are the pictures:
THESE PICTURES ARE THUMBNAIL LINKS TO THE ACTUAL SIZE PICTURES. MAKE SURE YOU VIEW THIS THREAD USING A BROWSER, NOT THE XDA APP (AS IT WILL ONLY DISPLAY THE ENLARGED PIXELED THUMBNAIL)
i had mines for 2 months and no deep scratches only on the side bezel maybe 1 or 2, but that is due to me taking case on and off tryin to take out battery and messing around with it. The case looks good doesnt feel cheap or look cheap like other cases like tpu or wateva silicone cases. And i really dont care about scratches on side bezel or corner im more worry about me dropping my phone and screen getting cracked!!! i dropped my phone with the Seidio case on like 5 times and no damages at all.
sorry to hear that. I have experienced scratches by cases before, that's why I don't use hard cases anymore. THe only cases I would go for is silicone and TPU. Even with my Motrola xt720 TPU hard case, it still gave micro-scratches on the phone.
The whole point of getting a case for me was preventing scratches, since I hardly ever drop my phone. Seidio sucks.

What do you mean product to push? If you think I'm trying to lead people not buy Seidio, you are right. But as you mentioned, it appeared to be the best choice in the market at the moment. I'm just posting my experience as a user, if you wanna have a chance of getting your phone scratched, then go ahead and use a Seidio case. However, I feel at least obligated to share my experience and warn others in the G2x community about bad products that I have had experience with. Contrary to you who seems to be a selfish kid.
the whole point is ur saying its terrible its bad etc..., but i dont see ppl complaining about it. I guess if your a clumsy person then u shouldnt get a seidio case is that what your saying? i mean can u show us a picture. I mean if its a little scratch then i dont really care....i think ppl buy cases for 2 reason #1 Protect the phone #2 YOUR CASE MUST LOOK AWESOME!!!!!

The inner edges of the cases are curved in too much. So over time, it will cause minute scratches.
Immediate fix would be to sand it down a little.
Here's a pic of one of the corners. That mark is exactly where the cases inner edge is. So no, the OP is not making this up.

Check back in about two weeks. Obviously if you just got it, you aren't going to see this problem yet.

Thanks for the heads up, I removed my case to check for scratches, but there were none. I've had the case for about 2 weeks now. To the people who have scratches, do you use vibration? That may be the problem because I rarely use vibration and I have no scratches at all

Only thing is the power button was tricky to press so I just cut it out. Every other case I saw looked terrible.

I have the first case and it works great. Simple but looks good and does its job.

I've been using the checkerboard one for awhile now and it hasn't left any marks on the G2x. One thing to note though is that it covers up the power and volume buttons. The material there is thinner to supposedly let you easily press through the case but I find it extremely annoying. I'm tempted to cut those parts out but never get around to it.
received the case today. for $2.80 you just cant beat it. fits very nice, feels good in hand too.
Thanks again, great case which I can say the same about my Clarivue screen protector. Anti-Glare is simply NOT usable due to IPS panel I guess. (works fine on MyTouch 4G)

I used the first one, but the power button was so hard to press, I just gave up on it.
Nothing a box cutter can't fix

I just bought this one Incipio NGP case.
Just got it in the mail today, but I won't have my G2x until Friday
I'll report back once I get it in and put it on. My friend had an incipio case for his iPhone, and it felt really solid, so I decided to check if they had one for the G2x and they did. Kinda pricey ($19.99 on Amazon), but if it protects it, its worth it to me.
Love my rubber case on my G2X feel I can toss the phone around any surface and not be afraid of scratches.
Also, I don't have screen protector, been almost a year on this phone and honestly, the screen is very good and doesn't scratch. Then again been lucky not putting anything that can scratch the screen.
Has anyone bought a rubber case but for the G2X with the huge 3500mah battery? Thats the only thing I want and I'm good. Only reason I hold back at not using my extended battery full time.

I was thinking about getting one of the robber ones, and take a heat gun to it, and "Form" it over the new battery cover, not sure if it would work or not, but it might be worth a shot.

That's actually a good idea. Or you can buy a TPU case and cut out the back so you can fit the extended battery cover. As long as the actual phone is protected, it's all good.

The heat may melt the new battery cover.

Always use a condom for protection.
