Best G2X protective cover?

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

Thread moved to proper forum.

Ghost Armor?

Does anyone know if they have life time warranty? I have a small scratch and I've only had the screen protector for 3 months. I was gonna see if they could put a new one on.

Wouldn't hurt to go ask. The guys at the kiosk I went to were pretty cool.

Per their web site.....
Ghost Armor is backed by a lifetime warranty. If it ever scratches, tears, peels or for any reason you are not satisfied, you can warranty out your Ghost Armor! Returning the original Ghost Armor is required.

Got it replaced lol $5 not bad

Yeah, you only have to pay the cost of installation, not material as long as you return your old one as RipPeR said. Even works on replacement devices GA is pricey, but the quality is second to none.

Motorola A2 without a case?

Does anyone carry their Atrix 2 without a case? I have the Otterbox, and I do like it, but it bring so much bulk to it and makes it hard to do something as simple as putting it in my pocket etc...I've been going back and forth.

I don't have any case for my atrix simply cause i can't find one and the otterbox one will cost me around 50$

I'd keep the case on it. Better safe and bulky than sorry and broken.
I have the defender series otterbox and its saved my ass several times.

I have a Body Glove that doesn't add much thickness when I have the stock battery in, and when I have the extended battery I have no case. The body glove is nice.
I'll be selling the whole kit and phone as soon as I pick up the Nexus 4.

I am using a shellster and the shell case itself is sturdy does what it is there to do, safeguarding the mobile, doesnt add much bulk and costs only 850 rs or about $17

I've always used this case and I love it! No bulk, eye catcher and is fully functional with it on. Less then $5 on amazon. Go check it out.

Not at all... Very easy to press. Same goes for the power button and camera button. Those are the only ones covered. Aux, HDMI, Charging port, MIC's, speaker and camera all open. Its a great case. Everyone else seems to gawk over it more then me lol. Probably cuz I'm used to it

Ordered the same earlier today

I use an extended battery, so it doesn't have a case. When I had/have the regular battery in, I use a Body Glove.

I ran an otter box commuter for a long time. After a year and many many drops (I work on a dock), the silicone is tearing and loosening. The plastic has cracked in a couple places. I still swear by them tho. I ran over my ATRIX 1 w the forklift. Visibly it looked fine but the digitizer was toast. Even the glass wasn't broken. Anyways. Long story short I love em. I stopped using a case tho once I went extended batt. If you're gonna rock the box, get one on eBay. Pay about half price.

Usу now my A2 without case, but this looks great.
Its very exepnsive to order somehing from amazon 4 me (live in Ukraine).
Try to find it in local internet stores.
Thank you anyway!

I use a white Ottebox Communter case for 6 months and planed to buy a defender case

My boyfriend used to keep the otterbox case on his A2, he ended up taking it off because of the bulk too... He's been fine without it for about a year now. Still looks new... I think he dropped it once. Haha.

90% of the time my A2 is in the Otterbox case I picked up at the $5 AT&T sale during...last summer? But since I do have a lapdock and the vehicle dock (and am going to be experimenting with a desk dock shortly) ... the case comes off. Thankfully, it's a pretty easy on and off, and I feel like the phone is very safe/protected when it is in the case.
To our Ukrainian friend...your best bet for cases may be something like eBay UK or eBay RU. Good luck!

I have used my atrix without a case for a while through now with a dinged up bezel I regret my choice to carry it naked.

Good screen protector?

Hi. After I had bought a Otterbox Defender Case I realized that the build in screen protector is pretty bad. So I've taken it out. Now I want to buy a Screen protector. It should have a good protection, a clear foil and it should be matt so that It won't reflect. Any recommendations ?

And it shouldn't show fingerprints

I recently saw shinoki and armor guard for our phones but I'm not sure how good those are there are lots of good reviews and some bad ones

OK I'll take a look at their site. Yes there are always bad reviews like "too expensive, blablabla" "not waterproof, blablabla" but I don't care about such reviews. So thanks and I'll take a look at.

No screen protector is fine for me
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

I've had a screen protector from Best Skins Ever on my One S from day one, and it still looks great...

I use matt screen protectors myself, you should know that no matter which one you buy it will make the screen look 'grainy'. I put up with this because I prefer the matt look and want to cut out reflections as much as possible.

the zagg invisibleshield is the highest quality I have used personally

Cracked my 13 day old G3

I'm so upset I wanted to share my sob story. I have had my G3 for 13 days now (pre-ordered and picked up on launch day) and I just cracked the screen. Only about one third of the screen is responsive so the device is almost useless now.
I put a Spigen Slim Armor case on it before even walking out of Best Buy with it so it has been "protected" from day one. Spigen's slogan for the G3 Slim Armor is "Absolute Drop Protection", but that's apparently not true here. They advertise that the corners have an "air cushion", but it fell on the corner. I bent over and it fell out of my shirt pocket literally 2 feet above the floor.
LG can't give me a repair estimate without sending it in. The guy on the LG Chat said probably $150 or so, but there's no guarantee on that amount. I've seen replacement glass on Amazon for $56.99 without the LCD screen and then Repairs Universe has the glass/LCD combo only. They said that it's near impossible to replace just the glass without the LCD and not mess it up. That combo costs $175.
Does anyone have any guidance or know how much it might cost through LG? Should I even attempt to repair it myself? Any advice would be great. I'll apologize in advance if I don't reply to posts right away. I'll be having trouble using the G3 at all. I'm going to get a sim card for my backup phone tomorrow and use that in the meantime.

I've seen in the past that lg has been fair on pricing. But never give an upfront cost. I'd just send mine in. Hate to hear that happened

Thanks for the reply. I may just send it in and eat the repair cost. I'm just disappointed in the whole situation.

I thought about that, but it would cost roughly the same for LG to fix it. That would save me the worry of attempting it myself and scrying it up even more. Although it can't be too hard.

I have the same case.. there is no cushion corners it's all pretty hard.. I'm looking for another with some more padding for the corners. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the corners. They advertise them as air cushion corners, but they are definitely just solid. I am also looking for a new case.

I've been wondering about those glass screen protectors and even more so now that I cracked my screen. It sounds like you are saying it has been worth it. Is that the brand with the warranty?

The zagg invisible shield glass is excellent. It feels like real glass too. I would not hesitate to pick one up.

Thanks for the second recommendation on ZAGG. I remember a few years ago avoiding ZAGG because their thick screen protectors had a bad orange peel effect. I'm glad to see that you guys are happy with their glass screen protectors. I prefer a good word from fellow XDA folks over the best buy sales reps.

they are fantastic, I insure all my electronics through them, and if you get emails from them, 3-4 times a month they will send you a code for 30-50% off a purchase with them. so it's cheap and great service

Good to know. Thanks for the info for sure. I signed up Friday actually so I'm not stressing so much about my G3 now.

I had a Spigen slim armor on my note 3 and I dropped it from about 5 ft a few times and it never hurt the phone. The case has some marks, but then again I always use tempered glass screen protectors. I think it was a fluke that your phone broke from that unless it landed in its face and something hit the screen. Good luck getting it fixed.

Ya it was probably more of the perfect drop to crack it. I was just so frustrated because it was the first drop.
