Best G2X protective cover? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I'm looking for a cover that isn't too bulky but does a decent job of protecting the phone. Any suggestions?

I ordered this one, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004Y2HUJO/ref=aw_d_iv_wireless?is=l&qid=1306963020&sr=8-48
I'll let you know how it is when I get the case.

I purchased the white version of this. My wife got the plad version.
Both have already began peeling the rubber like coating.
And it trapped an enormous amount of dust under the case.
When I took it off my phone got dust particles in the smallest crevices imaginable.
I would rate them a 1 out of 10

Go search for "g2x tpu" at Amazon and buy one of the 4-5 dollar ones. You wont regret it, its one of the best cases ive ever had.
This is in the wrong section BTW

Screen protector....

Good day. I'm looking into screen protectors for the Infuse. Any recommendations?
Sent from my Inspire 3 1/3G using XDA Premium
I really like the Zagg invisible shield. Some people whine about the orange peel effect, but you cant even feel it. Sure, it adds some minor friction but only if you are pressing down hard, which you shouldnt be doing anyways. The phone can register light touches.
I think it works better than other protectors when it comes to scratch protection because its thicker and actually prevents scratches,where your average thin film of plastic just keeps dust away

I agree. Zagg Invisible Shield all the way. Accept no substitutes!

I'm rocking the ivisor AG. I got mine att store, maybe available at bestbuys and such. The price is $24.99 for just one protector but its well worth it. This particular protector is 100% anti-glare and anti-fingerprint and its removable and washable. So technically this one screen protector should out last your contract, providing you're not careless with your phone. Highly recommened.

Same here. Only thing is that to me it does take away "some" from the quality of the screen. but thats to be expected with the level of protection. by quality I mean the "crispness" (drawing blank on exact word) But would still recommend

Same here. I bought my infuse in early June, the chick at the store put it on for me, I first took it off about 3 weeks later and man...did my screen pop with color. It may take away from the crispness but its wayyy better than the screen protector on my iphone, felt like a projection tv

i would recommend the ivisor ag from moshi. i sell these in my store all day. they're 100% bubble free so anyone can remove and reapply at any time and there will still be absolutely no bubbles plus you can wash it what???? so sick...
the good thing about the invisible shield from zagg @ best buy (or where ever) is that is life time warranty but have you seen the process of that??? you have to send the screen protector back to them and pay for another one then they refund you later on. can you say ridiculous!!!
I bought screen protectors from Amazon.com 20 cents each... , Excellent, Very nice premium quality.
Ivisor bar none. Best screen protector I have ever had. I have washed it several times with soap an water works perfectly.

Neoprene Pouch/Sleeve for G2X?

Hey guys, figured id ask here since XDA rocks and im having no luck looking for it thru Google.....basically im looking for a Neoprene Pouch like the one given with the Tmobile G1, and the Nexus One but one that actually fits the G2X! If u guys know of one, please let me know, if not, thanks for taking the time to read this post! Thanks!
I'm looking for one myself since I shelved the Nexus One for now. Not digging any case or skinz on the market. The pouch work good since it just slides in your pocket and prevent any dust/lint from entering the phone.

Do us a solid, and let us know how it fits!
Please!
I ordered the one from eBay as well.
It fits ... ok. Not as tight as I'd like it but I'd not call it loose either. Cheaply constructed though. I've had it about two weeks now and the stitching is already coming undone. I'd like to find a higher quality neoprene sleeve.
Would you be willing to post a few pictures?
Thanks!
i never received any pouch with my g1? i'm still using the same exact pouch i got with my sidekick 2 six years ago
some more pics would be great!
Here is a pic, it fits very snug...I was worried about it not fitting but that's not the case! My only gripe is the material is not near the same as the nexus ones/g1 but it does the trick and is sexy!

Sorry, I don't have another camera handy to take pics w/the phone in. This at least should give you an idea of the stitching.
Thanks for the pictures!
So...
All in all... Is it worth 3 bucks... ha?

I've had the same one for months. Definitely worth it.
Heh, yeah, it's worth $3. Particularly since there really isn't anything else available.

Q.

Anyone have a spare usb cable that they can give away or sell :/. Dont have any electronic / phone carrier stores around and i dont really trust ebay..... If you do id be grateful. Please and thank you .

Amazon? They're trustworthy. It'd be easier and cheaper. They have free 7 day shipping or something... Depending on your order.
Yeah man go with amazon. I just ordered some new earphones (same as stock ones) for like four bucks. I bet there's a usb cable for around that price if not lower. And they're trustworthy.

Search on ebay for the i9000 battery door. They'll have it in black or white. As far as I know, the battery door for the i9000 is the same as the Galaxy S 4g (and the Vibrant). ^_^

You should've filed a claim for that on Ebay. Anyways, not the place to talk about that, so I won't linger on that point, lol.
As for you battery door, you could try to paint it yourself. Look for a bottle of Tamiya Pearl White spray paint. It's not cheap compared to what you can get locally, but it looks pretty damn good! You might need to prime the cover too. Be sure to topcoat as well, or else the paint will just chip off!
Holy moly. 20 dollars ?!?!

You could see if hobby stores have them. Do a quick google search. I'll write more about it when I'm home, since it's kinda inconvenient to search on my phone and type a response, lol.
I only suggest Tamiya because I build plastic robot models for a hobby. It's a well known brand of paint and is safe on plastic. If you could find another cheaper brand, by all means, use that one. I'm sure that any quality paint will be great, as long as it's applied with the proper technique.
I think the cans itself aren't expensive ($4-5), but it's the shipping that kills (Tamiya is a Japanese brand).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Oh wow, turns out Amazon has it!
http://www.amazon.com/PS-57-Pearl-White-100ml-Spray/dp/B002O4BR2U
For how to use it, you should YouTube videos on how to spray properly. In a nutshell, just spray in short little bursts and keep coats light. If you just spray too much, the paint will accumulate and you'll just get a big mess. In the event you do mess up, you can fix it up either by (1)soaking it in thinner to remove the paint or (2)use sandpaper to sand off the paint.
Let me know if you have any more questions in regards to painting(through PM or whatever).
Good luck!

One of the reviews say it's not real.
I dont think you're going to find one. real carbon fiber to make into a case would require some expensive tooling or someone to hand make each one. Your best bet might be to buy a sheet of carbon fiber and a cheap case and glue panels to the case.

That is pretty much what the BodyGuardz armor is, sheets of vinyl that look like CF that you apply to the body of the phone. I bet it's just 3M Di-NOC cut to fit the SR, in which case just get a 4"x8" sample from 3M for $8: http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl/ and cut it yourself. More colours there too...
A *real* CF case will probably not ever be produced, for the reasons listed above. The only phone I know of that has a real one is the iPhone, since there are millions of them, and they are all the same, so the market is larger.

Ya i had one on my iphone and thought someone might make one for the skyrocket. I guess there are way too many variations of the galaxy s2.
I'll probably end up getting the overlays.

I bought a sheet off ebay like a year ago. It was a 1'x3' foot sheet for I think $12. I've cut it and put it on all kinds of stuff. If it's flat (like the battery door on the skyrocket) its really easy, just stick it on then trim the edges with a razor blade. If it's a curved surface then you'll need some heat (blow dryer) to conform it to the curves. And don't worry if you mess it up just peel it off, and try again.
One of the posters above posted a link to some from carbon fiber gear.com but you can get it on ebay too. The 3M brand is the best (imo) but I've seen glossy sheets before too, they look more "real" but I have no experience with them.

Bumper Defect?

I had my bumper off my phone while I was having ghost armor installed on it, the bumper was in my pocket and I tend to be one of those people who fiddles with things in their pocket while they wait.
I was just pushing on it lightly, when I realized that the hard plastic easily came apart from the rubber. I thought maybe I just pushed too hard, but when I started inspecting it around the sides, I realized that there were many spots where it would happen with very little force.
Is this supposed to happen or is it some sort of defect in my bumper?

Judging from this bumper unboxing/review... it's supposed to be like that
