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.

Duct tape is my solution for everything Even if I can't make an apple tree grow oranges. My solution? Duct tape an orange seed to the apple tree. Now all we have to do is wait, because I'm sick of apple juice and I want some orange juice for a change

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?

found a case??? update yeah!
Don't know if its made but I believe I found temporary solution. Don't kill me if you don't like it ... I DID SAY IT'S TEMP....
anyway, I'm using a HTC trophy silicone case....
Don't laugh please it has its limitations obviously, but does the trick brilliantly. I will post photos if there is any interest...

I'm interested. Its fine, is it a good fit?
It feels like it covers too much of the screen. What if i want the notification bar to go down. I had the same prob with some cases

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?

Is this, like their tough case, two pieces that fit into each other?
On the web page, they make it seem like they have formed the two plastics of this case into one piece but I can't tell.
I think its still two piece. I vote white!

It is one piece made of two materials(hard rubberand plastic) and it does not have two layers,so it is very and I mean very difficult to put it on the phone and take it off.It id also easy to scratch because plastic is high gloss.i had it on Desire HD and swap it for Tough which offers much better protection.But I have to admit that Pop is looker
just ordered a white one today
Couple questions about this case.
1: Is the inner layer on this like soft sillicone?
(I'm not liking the harder material that TPU is on my phone. I can tell its wearing on the front corners and making the matte finish to be shiny.)
2: The only hole that im worried about is the one above the camera and it seems to be covered. Is this hole actually anything to worry about?
(They are all just mounting points for antenna contacts, but the one above the camera is the only one that leads to a hole in the phone housing.)
3: Can anyone post pictures of this yet?
Looks pretty sweet, Someone post some pictures once you receive it.
I just used my G2x's Micro-HDMI port for the first time, and now the cover of the port clicks. Has anyone else had this problem? It's pretty annoying, and I don't think it should start showing signs of wear just after the first use.
really? dont you think its a little over the top. HDMI port cover clicking.............. do have that issue at all. ha

What? That made no sense.
what hes saying is that it really isnt that big of a problem
There is no such thing as a well designed port cover on anything nowadays. It's problematic to plug miniature holes securely and still allow to port to be accessed easily when needed.
The little soft rubber ones on P&S cameras suck worse, and the metal hinged ones on more expensive cameras are too easy to break.

I guess you're right. Haha. I did like the one on the Vibrant though... I also have a Trident Aegis Case, with the huge rubber flaps.
never liked rubber cases, but after using stock hd2 rubber case, I would like to find something similar
Best case I've found (and am currently using) is the tpu case like this: http://www.amazon.com/P990-Optimus-..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1326859268&sr=1-2
or the one I'm using: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Soft-Dual-..._13?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1326859268&sr=1-13
Only thing is the power button was tricky to press so I just cut it out. Every other case I saw looked terrible.

Rubber Will blemish the g2x, i had a Rubber one From Ebay i bought for 12.99
I have also recently bought the Body Glove case, works amazingly
I bought the one from a tmous store. Since my phone has handled many a falls, including off the roof of my car twice while driving, and not even a mark on the unprotected screen. It was like $20bucks and worth its weight in gold!!!"

I've been using the checkerboard one for awhile now and it hasn't left any marks on the G2x. One thing to note though is that it covers up the power and volume buttons. The material there is thinner to supposedly let you easily press through the case but I find it extremely annoying. I'm tempted to cut those parts out but never get around to it.
received the case today. for $2.80 you just cant beat it. fits very nice, feels good in hand too.
Thanks again, great case which I can say the same about my Clarivue screen protector. Anti-Glare is simply NOT usable due to IPS panel I guess. (works fine on MyTouch 4G)

I just bought this one Incipio NGP case.
Just got it in the mail today, but I won't have my G2x until Friday
I'll report back once I get it in and put it on. My friend had an incipio case for his iPhone, and it felt really solid, so I decided to check if they had one for the G2x and they did. Kinda pricey ($19.99 on Amazon), but if it protects it, its worth it to me.
Love my rubber case on my G2X feel I can toss the phone around any surface and not be afraid of scratches.
Also, I don't have screen protector, been almost a year on this phone and honestly, the screen is very good and doesn't scratch. Then again been lucky not putting anything that can scratch the screen.
Has anyone bought a rubber case but for the G2X with the huge 3500mah battery? Thats the only thing I want and I'm good. Only reason I hold back at not using my extended battery full time.

I was thinking about getting one of the robber ones, and take a heat gun to it, and "Form" it over the new battery cover, not sure if it would work or not, but it might be worth a shot.

That's actually a good idea. Or you can buy a TPU case and cut out the back so you can fit the extended battery cover. As long as the actual phone is protected, it's all good.
