[Q] Replace G2X silver band around phone? - T-Mobile LG G2x

Hi,
I recently dropped my G2X on the floor and now the plastic band around the phone is all scratched up and bent out of shape in one place. Is there any way I can replace it or maybe hide it?

Try searching eBay for G2x/O2x parts.
Also, wrong section.

yeah i did this too, a simple case hides it

I got this case a month ago, and I must say... Its the best XD
They have em at bestbuy for $10 under a different name, but still by seidio. I have one and it looks exactly the same minus a different logo on the back

agree. the best.
Always liked these Seidio cases on any of my HTC devices...
Is there any place in Vancouver, that sells this case? I don't have access to buying stuff online, so I would prefer to get it in store. There is one carrier that sells the nexus one but all the cases they have are pretty crappy and are all un-branded.

why would you even have a n1 without a screen cover in the first place? im sure you were being too rough forcing the case onto the phone anyways.
Had this case on my N1 for about 3 months. Took it off, and it had scratched the **** out of the top and bottom of the front metal bezel.
Havent put it back cause I was quite annoyed that a case thats supposed to protect actually caused damage.

Isn't the inside of the case covered in velvet? Is it possible that the case was loose on your phone which caused your phone to slide around in it?

Yes the flat inside rear surface of the case is velvet and should not scratch anything. However the velvet does not continue around any of the four sides. This means that over time grit can collect and eventually as madchild1 mentioned it is likely to scratch the top and bottom end of the phone.
I have had an innocase II fitted for nine months now and fortunately only some superficial rub marks on the ends. Because I use my phone in the Nexus car dock a lot I am forever popping it in and out of the innocase. This means dust and grit does not accumulate tothe point where I am badly effected. Good idea to remove the innocase weekly and clean out any grit to prevent damage. It only takes a second to pop off.

Wow, can you post a picture? I've had my Innocase II since the first week I got the phone. I take it on and off all the time because I worry about heat buildup in the car running GPS...
I wonder if your case was defective. I looked at mine and can't see where it would rub like that. I actually just ordered the Rugged Add-on for this case as I am often in austere environments.

Ah, that's probably why I have also not had damage. I can certainly see how the case would scratch the phone if anything abrasive got between case and phone.
I have to say that I've been very pleased with this case. I also had one on my previous phone, an HTC Raphael (AT&T Fuze) and loved that one too.

[Q] Thinnest Case?

I am looking for a case for my epic 4g and want really the thinnest one. I got the phone from ebay and it came with a green hard case but it just adds so much bulk and covers the edges of the touchscreen (had a hard time moving icons from one homescreen to the next). So what is the thinnest case and does offer decent protection?
bump. also interested in this..
Laminate your phone.
I got the $30 body glove chrome / fake leather case from the sprint store. Its a great case, never gets in the way and never pops off. The bulk it adds is unnoticed after a few days of use. Having a keyboard, bulky cases are something we have to just deal with.

Which model Seidio? They make several for the Epic and many are very bulky (which is to be expected since they are about protecting your phone).

[Q] 3DO Cases

What's the consensus opinion on the D3O cases sold by T-Mobile?
I bought one with my Sensation today, and I would like know it's worth the $30, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information about them on the board.
I bought it because I don't want a repeat of the fate the befell my late HD2 when one day it flew out of my hand 10 feet backwards and landed on concrete, shattering literally the entire screen. There's no cure for clumsy, so my hope is that the shock-absorption technology will protect my phone from my ailment.
I got the clear one on mine it's great I can throw it Against the floor and it won't do anything. Overall it's a great product I don't regret purchasing it at all.

Do you use the plastic backing? I find it awfully odd that the only thing protecting the back is a piece of plastic. (Doubly odd since the D3O case for the SGII is a 1-piece unit with rubber backing.)

The plastic backing is for the d30 bands. I have the clear case that you can see the orange d30 on the sides.

Guys, are thia case worth it? You can litterally throw it and hit it it wpnt break? Wont the screen crack?

there is not a case available that will protect the screen completely. Most will help drops. It's a sacrifice of size versus your clumsiness. LOL.
I would love a good looking and protective case. with a rubber inside and not so slick outside so it doesn't slip from my hands.
I have seen the 3DO. I think for the price you could find better IMHO.

I was confused what you were saying at first, but I think you have the one-piece cover and I have the band (which only covers the edge but which comes with a second plastic piece to cover the back - no D3O material in the back). There's also a dual-layer cover similar to the Case-Mate Tough and Otterbox Commuter, but it's not available for the Sensation 4G, apparently.

I especially am displeased that the band costs more than the cover. I don't get it.
If you're going to get the 3DO, get the one with a solid back and orange/clear around it.
I bought that for my GF, I have the black band with the clear back. It's a PITA to get that back plastic on straight AND the edges love to dig up my old Zagg and my current Skinomi screen protector. They peel the edge up...it's a pain.
As far as protection, they are awesome.
IMO...your phone is safe unless you suffer a direct hit to the screen past the case edges (like something sticking up, rock, etc.)
D30 Is military spec shock absorption material...it's good stuff.
Had both the band and the full clear case. Agreed on the band with the above post: it's a big PITA to line up and seems like it will scratch very easily, so returned it and went with clear D3O case which I have on now. Great protection IMO. A couple of things to keep in mind when you're shopping for one: check the alignment of power button and volume rocker. Out of 10-12 clear covers that I tried in different stores (T-Mobile) only 2 were perfectly aligned. Problem with misaligned power button is that pressing anywhere on upper part of the case would press the power button and lock/unlock your phone, and volume rocker buttons would only work one way/not work at all. Both very annoying. But when you find the one that works - it works perfect.
Also, on about 7 of them you could see cracks in D3O material through the outside of the clear case. On the inside it appeared perfect, so I figured if I was looking at any solid color case I wouldn't see it at all, so I went with it. Plus, the cracks were present on both of the perfectly working cases, so I didn't have much choice since I was set on a D3O case. Overall, I think it's worth the money.
That's my $.02 on it.

Best? not even close... but I bought a case similar to this one about two years ago. Its saved my phone several times. The part that clips on the keyboard/battery half does not stay on anymore though. The 4 nubs are worn out and don't hold it. The screen part is what I was most worried about though and it still holds tight.
I was planning to go caseless after having aluminum cases on most of my previous phones until I dropped my epic just right and shattered the screen. I replaced the screen assembly and decided to get a case for it. I have went without a screen protector and have not had a single scratch. Gorilla Glass is something I'll be looking for on future phones for sure.

Dropped phone = new case (pics)

so a few weeks back i dropped my phone in a parking lot with small, lose gravel rocks. i like a naked phone but this damage made me want a case. i don't like bulky stuff so i went with this slim case from ebay. its 0.5mm thin.
what i love about the case is that its fingerprint and smuge free. and i just like the look better.
pics of the damage.
ouch
ouch
case and phone
Ouch indeed. But that case doesn't protect top and bottom from those little rocks!

Sorry bout the damage. I use to think I wouldnt like a big bulky case until I got one. Its alot easier to hold I dont know how many times ive dropped my phone laying in bed. Not to mention my hands dont cramp anymore either. Something that small I would be worried about the shock from dropping it would transfer right to the phone. Will save from chips and whatnot but a hard enough drop I think it would transfer to where it counts, the screen/glass. I dont know how many times I dropped my s3 onto the concrete. Using a case with a silicone core and a hard skeleton definitely saved it. Still looks brand new right out of the box. My .02
Edit:
Check out the seidio convert. You might like it. It has the active I think its called at its core. A minimalistic case much like your but its also has a silicone you can wrap it in and then a hard skeleton on the outside. Nice because when your at home you can take off the rugged elements and have it in the slim case. Once again my .02

I bought that same case actually, but mine doesn't fit with the battery cover on. Such an awesome case, but doesn't feel like it protects the phone TOO much.

Nothing, you don't have to. Won't interfere with anything.
If you can't stand the look of it: take it off.
If you want some added protection: leave it on. I'm with this camp :good:
I have one of those cases as well. Don't you feel that its too slippery? Kinda makes me scared of dropping it.
I actually use 3 different cases for different occasions.
1. Spigen slim armor if I'm outside all day
2. Regular tpu for around the home and office
3. Wallet case when flying (folds into a stand and has pockets for id cards)
Buy a few more cheap case types if you can so you wont be stuck in one particular type
I'm using a desmay case which I think is 0.4mm thin, looks similar to the one you got

I have never used a case on any of my phones. My 2 year old threw my s4 across the room the other day. Luckily it was on carpet so nothing happened to it. After looking at thousands of cases on ebay I just decided on the neo hybrid. I hate cases/covers....

glass screen protector and a case are a must. but a case that can protect all sides
