UPDATE
I actually found a silicone case on ebay. Its not how I wanted it to be but its still cool. Its a 2 piece and come in different colors. Something cool to mention is that it goes on top of the key board. I like the black and white ones the most
------------------------------------------------------------------------
A hard or silicone case that wraps/hugs the phone. For people like me that don't use the keyboard. So once you have the case you cant open it to use the keyboard. I hate letting people use my phone and they either play with the keyboard and messes up my hinge and etc. I have a case already (clear case with kickstand) but i want a case where it just wraps the whole phone so no one can flip out the keyboard.
Who thinks this is a good idea?
is it already made and I just dont know?
I think it's a pretty good idea.
i explained to my girlfriend how i thought the hinge was flimsy and i was worried about it breaking in the future. yet she still has to slide they keyboard numerous times a day, HARD. REALLY starting to piss me off. Friends do it too... it just needs a gentle push.. jesus

The one piece silicone cases are much better then the garbage protection we have now.
I DO use rubberbands already. Do any of you still have the bands that came on the usb and headphones in the retail box? I just have one wrapped around the trackpad. It works just fine for me and the black matches my case. Still slides out of my pocket just as easily as it did before, with the gel tmo case that is.
Saves my battery, my hinge, my keyboard, and gave me a reason to flash the amazing gingerbread multitouch keyboard sweetness of doom.

Then why didn't you just get a MyTouch 4G instead? If you never use the hardware keyboard, then it is just added weight and bulk. The MyTouch 4G trades a hardware keyboard for a front camera, more RAM, faster CPU, etc.

My girlfriend got a free G2 from the tmobile loyalty program several weeks back, and she's been wanting a case like this, as she never uses the physical keyboard. I don't think it's too ludicrous of a request. If it's between a free phone that happens to have a QWERTY and one that costs $120-200, I think it's relatively a no brainer.
I'm thinking of telling her to try this case: http://www.wirelessground.com/t-mobile-g2-aluminum-black-case.html. I just hope it doesn't add too much bulk.
I so want a case like the one described above. it would be one step closer to having a Desire HD
I felt the same way, initially, but have grown rather fond of being able to see the entire screen while I type. Not so sure I'd give that up now.

Does anyone know if a case like this exists, yet is two piece, without a hinge, so the case still holds the phone together via some sort of clip mechanism?

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.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2
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.

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.

QUESTION for those that have it. My phone froze and i had to do a battery pull...
THIS CASE IS A ***** TO REMOVE, or is it just me? The back part of the case that clips onto the bottom took me forever to remove safely, i hurt my fingers .
Basically, I am trying to find something close if not a tad smaller so I can get that phones gel case to use as a hard keyboard delete since I am a swype addict
have u tried any of the other galaxy s phones... or even the evo 4g/droid x... droid x may be ur bast bet as, its 4.3 in screen and its thicker battery cover should make for great a great fit for the epic... but this is just an assumption
also now that I think about it, i believe i read (possibly here in the xda forums) that there is a epic 4g gel case, i remember because it was mentiond that when its on, the slide out keyboard is inoperative, and I was think why make a case for a slider phone when u cant use the slider... on hindsight this is exactly why; for users like u... search for it!

Yea. I wanna try it out. But there is a less expensive alternative someone created. He calls it*oogoo.
Hot-glue it shut.
Seriously though, you could probably get a low-temp hot glue gun, put a bead right around the edge and trim it flush.
Though I still don't see why you wouldn't just keep the slider available just not pop it open. As much as I like Swype, there are always times here and there that I prefer the hard keyboard.

Are you saying to hot glue the case or the phone iteself? Lol.
As someone on android central was saying, a bumper would fix the problem.
Why don't you just trade the phone for an evo?don't ruin the phone by gluing it shut.try a case for another galaxy s phone like a T-Mobile one.I prefer hard keyboards myself.but for simple messaging the on screen keyboard does suffice.

That doesnt solve my case issue
The dimensions are 4.9"x 2.5"x 0.6"
There has to be something close. I was thinking of a samsung vibrant cheapo skin from china and hoping the tolerances were a tad on the big side, its dimensions are 4.9x2.5x0.4
Another idea...
Self fusing silocone tape.
It fuses to itself without the use of adhesives so it won't stick to your phone.
You can use it to either "fix" the ebay case or just create a bumper for it.
There is tommy tape and rescue tape. And others too if you just google it.

Hey, good idea. I think I used to put my i9000 Galaxy S into the N1 pouch, but it was just a bit of a stretch. I may try to find the N1 pouch for that added protection in the pocket against keys and change.
Why worry about a pouch? I had one for my N1 and it worked great! But then I learned of BestSkinsEver. The one for the NS is perfect, it even covers up the camera lens! There is no spot uncovered and exposed to the possibility of damage from keys, change, whatever. Take a look at the pics. Cant even tell its on.

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.

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 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$.

Hi guys!
Anyone going completely bare with their sensation? No case, no skins, no screen protector?
I ask this because I went with the full body skins (BSE) on my nexus one, after trying all the brands. They look great initially, then curl up etc. Then I used awesome clarivue screen protectors, but ended up ditching them. I bought a hard to find Barely There chrome colored casemate case from Great Britain even, and barely used it because it was such a tight fit (no on and off as per your pleasure, kind of thing).
Since I've learnt how to use my phone (dedicated pants pocket for it, with nothing else inside, Never use phone on the shoulder, always try to use headset for those kind of calls), I think I might like to risk it with my new phone, for aesthetics sake.
Anyone with me?

Had nothing on my HD2, only a screen protector for several months then removed. My HD2 suffered several nicks on the body, solved with a new case.
And now the same with the Sensation, nothing on it.
I am! I've never had a case or screen protection on any of my phones and never will!

Nekkid and loving it. I can't manage to find a case that looks good enough to put on this. I feel good with the gorilla glass. I may pick up an alternate back cover just in case.

Unless my old Nexus one sleeve counts, I'm going naked as well. The phone is way too sexy to cover up with an unsightly case.
definitely going naked. I'm a big fan of invisible shield type protection on some devices (plastic ones namely). On my Inspire I got a Ghost Armor skin installed and it took the phone from having that carved out of a block of aluminum (because it is) feeling, to feeling like typical plastic crap.
Since replacement backs seem to be inexpensive for this phone (I still think the ones going for 40USD have to be knockoffs) and the back is basically the whole phone, I won't bother. For the Inspire as soon as I saw that I could buy the pieces to reconstruct the casing (minus the screen) for under $100, I decided to risk it. I'm careful with my stuff anyway, but even a scratch would bug me.
Big fan of naked phones here. My Pre 2 is naked as well, and looks good as new (got it in December I think?). That phone is just glass and soft touch plastic so no skin would look good on it.
