Because the product was meant for the Korean o2x, which has a TV antenna at that corner

Just got mines in the mail, The case is silicone , not hard or semi hard plastic, So will see how the wear and tear is, from my experience they tend to stretch out with heat and this phone is always hot when in heavy use.
It has some kind of coating that makes it non slippery in your hands but still able to put it in and take it out of your pocket with ease. The cuts on the bottom are off a bit. but it still feels snug to the phone, doesnt add any real thickness to it,
The extra head phones plugs are coo, They sent 3 of them, but on their website it shows a audiojack plug and usb plug, but i only received headphone plugs. I payed like 19$ for case plus extras (plugs), build quality is good, as long it doesnt stretch out over time i say its worth it... will take pic later if you want to see

Thanks for review. I have a seidio case which is awesome, except it bulks the phone up a bit. I'd be interested in a thinner case. Is this one a dust magnet at all? Easy to get on and off if need to open up back?

So far i would say yes, compared to the ones they sell at the tmo store.. the Rearth are much better, but compared to a hard or semi hard case I wouldnt know..

Does it collect lint when you put it into your pocket? That's one of the major problems I have with silicone cases

They also sell it on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/T-Mobile-LG-G2x...Accessories&hash=item415a667925#ht_9828wt_982

Platinum case is out at Best Buy

Slim fit and holster $34
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App

Went into Best Buy today to have a Zagg replaced. Saw the case and was excited as this is just what I was looking for. Then the nightmare began. I also picked up a desktop cradle at my local ATT store. When I got home I tried to take off the case with no luck. I tried for thirty minutes to work the case and get it off. I tried to get a screw driver under the part where they click together but no matter what I did it would not come off.
I drove 40 miles back to the Best Buy because the only way I could figure to get the case off was to break it and I was also afraid that I might damage my phone and I did not want the responsibility if I did. Best Buy spent 30 minutes with everyone all the way up to the Geek Sqad trying to get the darn thing off. They finally had to pull up the sides and pop it off. It messed up the Zagg and they had to replace it. Luckily it did not hurt the phone. Best guess as to what happened was that the Zagg was not completely dry when I put the case on and it suctioned to the case when it dried. Never the less I got my money back and will try something else. They had the nerve to ask me why I wanted to take the case off!!!

The instructions are incorrect. Step 4 attached says to press B which is the short end. This only locks it tighter. PRESS A on the long end and it releases

I checked the Best Buy website and they only showed having this in Blue color. I was hoping to find it in Black. From the research I did online, I assume these Platinum Series cases are also made by Seidio, which also makes the Surface Series I'm considering getting. I had the Surface for the IPhone 3GS and it was close to perfect.

Yes they were wrong. When I got to the store I opened another case and saw they had it backwards. Still would not come off. I believe it had attached itself to the Zagg. My EVO case did come off like the instructions said I had not put the case on because they put it on at the store when I bought it.

I was able to get Best Buy to exchange my Evo case I bought last year for this one...not a bad case. It really isn't any harder to remove than the Evo case was, but I definitely wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis.

I had the same stuff happen to me. I could not get that damn case off and had to pry it apart. I brought it back and ordered an Incipio sycrylic case.

Its really simple to take it off actually. On the back were the line is press on the case and the bottom half should slide right off

I couldn't for the life of me get the case off. So I pried it off, bought the body glove tpu case, and it fits in the holster perfectly. lol

Looks nice! Going to AT&T store tomorrow to see if they have it. I get 50% off all accessories because my pops works for the post office.

Just as their other cases for other phones have done this case will leave minor surface scratches on the sides top and bottom edges of your phone.
Nothing major...but thought i would throw ot out there.
I love mine...just wish i had added more lining fabric on the inside before using it.

Seidio Surface case

So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!

I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

Usually when I order from China, it takes around 2 weeks for me to get in the mail. I wish manufactures would have made them earlier since all the specs were released...I guess I'll just use some kind of pouch to carry it around till I get something.

rather wait for a better one..

Been case and screen protector free on my GNex for almost a year, not a scratch or ding on it.
Next week when my daughter takes it though it will be in a Kraken case

I would pick one up, but I don't want to cover up that sexy back of the nexus 4

I'm probably going to put a full body screen protector and not put on a case though that one looks nice. Just got be extra careful. What would be really cool is if they made a Qi inductive case, that charges your phone, that way you never need to charge your phone.

The Nexus 4 has QI charger built into it. I believe it has a range of 40mm... So unless your case is made of metal you will be okay.

I stopped using it and put my "old reliable" (a Diztronic TPU) back on. I can't get over how it honestly feels like you're about to snap your phone in half when putting it in or taking it out of the case.

The case is pretty fantastic. Scary if you need to take the phone out for a battery pull. Feels like I'm going to bend my phone and break it getting this thing off lol. I scored this and a Moshi screen protector for $5 too. BEST SCREEN PROTECTOR EVER. Anti-glare, anti-fingerprint, I'd pay full price for another one.

Just put a Moshi on my Rocket tonight. Quick, easy install. Considering how thick it is, I'm not sure that I should be using tight-fitting TPUs anymore (very concerned they'll damage the edges), but since I've got a new non-TPU case on the way and have plenty of the looser-fitting mesh hybrids lying around, I think I'm set. My wife wants one for her Rocket, too. First screen protector I've tried that she's ever gone, "Whoa, I want one of those."
