Full, soft pouch/case?

I'm looking for a vertical soft pouch/case/sleeve that will fully cover the G2. The main reason that I want one is to keep pocket lint and such from getting in the keyboard/grill/etc, and I'm not able to find one that FULLY covers the G2.
Something similar to the oem G1 neoprene case, except with maybe a magnetic lid on the top would be really nice.

I ordered this one

The G1 case works perfectly, I received my [email protected] today it started using my G1 slip case immediately.

Any other protective cases out for the g2 yet?

I'm using the Nexus One's.

Tmobile actually sells a nice gel case for the G2 that feels good in your hands and makes the phone a little thicker but not too bulky. It doesn't have a belt clip and its rather nice. It goes for 16.99.

Just bought one of these: http://www.builtny.com/phone-sleeve-prod.html
I'm using the sleeve that came with my nexus right now, but it's not a very good fit. Hopefully this sleeve works well. BuiltNY is TOP quality!

That one listed there is for the iphone, will it fit the g2?

Good question. Most pouches are large enough to fit any phone that isn't ridiculously huge, though.
BTW, LS-VTEC CRX here, boost soon. Fun little gas-sipper

I used a friends N1 case, it was way too tight. Have to find someone with a G1 case to try it out before buying.

The case that shipped with the G1 is an absolutely perfect fit (probably better than on the G1, since the G2 doesn't have the lip)

I beg to differ. I use my n1 case for my g2 and it is just as nice a fit as the n1, I just had to stretch it a wee bit by shoving my brothers Samsung Epic in there over night

I'm using my G1 case which fits the G2 PERFECTLY. the slits at the top side of the pouch is perfect for the USB port too, granted charging the phone in the pouch isnt the greatest idea since it will get pretty warm.

Hmm looks like I'll give the N1 case stretching a shot, if not G1 case.

Yea your right when I get home I'll compare the size of my ipod touch to my G2, it should give me at least some kind of idea as to how the case should fit
Nice boosted ls's are capable of nasty things, I currently own a 07 si sedan and I'm loving it.

Does anyone know if the leather pouch that the Touch Pro 2 came in would fit the G2? It looks about the same size.

Yeah its a poor mans b18c5 really, all ITR spec stuff EXCEPT forged parts and the block is a b18b. Crank, head, etc is all b18c5. Aiming for 500whp on premium. Should be "too much" for street use and I'll probably use a ebc to tune it down to 300-400 during daily driving.
Here is is months ago, granny-shifting and untuned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bp3aD3rBJ4
Has been tuned since and now that I have a better video camera should re-record.
I still have my G1 case somewhere so will give that a try.

Just got my pouch in from BuiltNY(the one I posted about earlier) and it fits perfectly. Way nicer than my Nexus One case, and a little thicker material too. I'll post up a few pictures when I get home tonight.
It seems pricey, but it's soooo worth the quality. It's basically and over-engineered nexus one case. Which is exactly what I was looking for.

I can also confirm that the G1 case works perfectly for the G2

Any G2 accessories at local Tmo stores?

Looking for some kind of OEM case, Zagg shields, etc. If I got my handset yesterday, surely the stores are building inventory by now - especially for high-margin chinese accessories...
Anyone find G2-specific stuff at their local Tmo shop yet?

I'm not sure but try daydeal.com I know the case I bought from there was a t-mobile accessory but a lot cheaper then t-mobile charges

My local store didn't have any out yet. I know youtube has two videos of a guy showing what cases will be available on launch day. 2 blue or purple hard cases and one clear case with a kick stand.

I was able to find a local t-mobile in Pembroke Pines, FL that had pretty much everything (t-mobile branded, including the BodyGlove case, anti-smudge screen protectors, etc) in stock.
The first store I tried (Hollywood FL) had squat, Radio Shack had no clue when they would be getting the phone (despite supposed availability tomorrow Oct 3 and the huge G2 sign in the store.)
So it's hit or miss, probably comes down to employees being unaware of the box in the back of the store. Maybe best to ask for a manager if you need a quick fix.

My local store in Huntsville, AL has a pretty good selection of accessories, including a hard case with a removable belt clip that doubles as a kickstand, and screen protectors with anti-smear. They are having a sale where you can get 20% off if you buy 2 accessories or 30% off each if you buy 3 accessories. That's basically enough to cancel out the ridiculously high prices, but I am a fan of instant gratification.
After using the phone for a while in the "black gel" oem case though, it really doesn't feel as good in your hand as it does with just the naked phone. My G2 will be going naked pretty often, I think.

Ok so all my T-Mobile store is selling is 1 Black gel skin, 1 Purple rubbery like gel skin(alot harder than the gel but still flexable), Black Body Glove and Screen Protectors. I have noiced that the Body Glove makes it hard to hit the top row of keys on the G2 so thats why im using just a screen protector and my old G1 sleeve =)

We have about 7 different cases at my store plus the screen protectors. I will take a picture of each tomorrow and post them for you guys.
2 Body glove cases (one skin like weird material and one normal body glove with changeable clip.
Blue and black combo
Purple and black combo
Clear (with kickstand)
Black gel skin
I think there was another but when I was receiving them there was just so much stuff I tried most of em. The best was the body glove skin like one.

my local store had the screen protectors on Friday and they had JUST come in and they hadn't even had time to put them out yet. i had to ask for them and they were behind the desk.
i didnt bother looking to buy anything else since I know the prices are outrageous. I refuse to pay $30 for a car charger I can get online for $6 shipped.

I picked up a case and a couple of micro-usb cables today. They had screen protectors, a couple of different cases, a crappy car/wall charger and micro-usb cables.
The screen protectors that they used to sell for the G1 were crap, not nearly as good as the thing that came with the phone. I suspect the G2 is the same, so I trimmed the little tab and a little off of the bottom of the one that was on the phone and left it on. I suspect it'll work fine for quite a while. Especially now that I have a case. The case seems to be much slimmer and better fitting that the covers for the G1s.

Actully the screen protectors are rather awesome. Make swype super easy. Not even close to they crappy ones for the G1 / mytouch lol. Ill admit those were pretty bad haha I would have kept the stock one but it fell off the first time I put it in my pocket =(

If your a fan please request it. I know i love my phones to be completely protected so i sent it my request!

Same. Good gel case. I have NEVER liked snap on cases. But this one is ok for the price (wifey's employee discount helps).
BodyGlove case they sell at the store sucks though. And costs twice as much. It actually keeps the keyboard from opening all the way.

I would love to see a otterbox defender series case for the G2. I have one on my T-Mobile HD2 and it is great.
Please bring it to us.

How can you put an otter box on this? It has moving parts.. making it kinda hard to seal up..
EDIT
Guess it would not be a sealed box.. no water proofing ..

Ya most of the otterboxs aren't water proof its mostly just a really good case that protects from the shock of dropping it and stuff. I had one one my n900 which was also a slider it was a great case.

Talked to The Otter (OtterBox) today about a case. They Said "We are looking into possible cases for this device." Now if you know any thing about The Otter then you know They are 100% vague 99.9% of the time. Due to past experiences with the company, I call them The Otter because of the simularity to The OZ from Wizard of OZ. ( Never give any information except A Badass case.)
Oh! and if your wondering what it will look like.... Check out the Otterbox for the Palm Pre. More than likely it will be a "Tandem" series like the Pre was and will never have a Defender . But I could be wrong

I'm friends with the CFO of OtterBox's son and their company is located in my town so I'll maybe show them this thread so that they know how many people want one of their cases for the G2

Please do! I'm patiently waiting for one

Look at the MyTouch Slide, IF, and IF they do make one, it will be a commuter series.

I would LOVE to see an Otter Box case for my G2!
I had one on my N1 and I think that is the thing I miss the most since switching to the G2.

My Cliq had an Otterbox, and I love it, I hope they come out with one for the G2 soon.

Maybe they can design a defender case for the G2 that has a "locking" open
and closed mechanism for it . To keep it closed in the event of a lap launch
or drop .

I would buy an OtterBox.

Funny...This is the reason I logged in today. Wanted to see if there was an Otterbox available for my G2 Want one bad!

Last time I talked to the Otterbox company they said the case for the G2 is in the works. It's going to be a commuter they said

As Az2envy said I would love it to have some kind of locking mechanism. If it has that it's a definite buy for me and I never use cases.

I think it will be quite USELESS if its the commuter type. No clip with be available or lock or anything. Might as well get the hard silicone-rubber case tmobile offers for $10.... This is disappointing

I wonder why???
You can still get it other places.

Could it simply be that Wal Mart doesn't want to do business with Body Glove anymore? My local T-mobile still carries the cases.

dumbest thread title.
There 2 different cases from body glove for the G2x, you are only talking about Walmart but don't say that. Nothing was recalled, which means the factory does not want them back.
Basically you are saying a store stopped carrying a case, a store with limited shelf space, and a ton of phones to deal with.
The body glove grasp case is excellent, if you can find it.

I'm surprised the above posters think it's a POS. I have a Body Glove and I think it's the best case for our phone. Great protection without sacrificing looks. Doesn't add much bulk... Makes the g2x feel great in hand. Love the cushioned inside to prevent any scratches or nicks while the phone is in the case. It's also not hard to remove either. There's a "slot" on the bottom right of the case. Stick a quarter in and twist.... Quick, easy and no damage done while removing.
I'd recommend it

I'm surprised you DON'T think it's a POS. I bought 2 of them thinking body glove had to be the best case for the phone. It DOES however add bulk to the phone. I will agree it felt better in the hand. Not hard to remove using the "quarter" method BUT the top part of the case is flimsy and will break after a few removals. Ever accidentally drop your phone with this "best case available"? I have, the case pops off and the phone flies out and gets chewed up. The best part of this is that when I dropped my phone I was bent over and the phone was 2 feet off the ground and actually hit my foot BEFORE hitting the ground.
BAD CASE, HUGE MISTAKE PURCHASING IT. NEVER AGAIN

Ive had this case since I bought my phone and at first it was a little hard to take off. After having to pull the battery out early on the case didn't hold up very well and ended up breaking. Im on my second and its already broke but it does protect the phone very well.

I'm with you on this case, I have one as well and it has to one of the best cases I've used and I like how once you get it on its kinda difficult to get off not unless you use the slot like truplay mentioned, it comforts me that if I drop my phone the case won't pop off like a lot of 2 piece cases do.
I recommend it as well

there are 3 Body Glove cases
The two piece sold everywhere include T-Mobile
The Grasp which is a high grade TPU with some silicon fused to it somehow.
And the Silicon one you are saying at Staple.
All three exist on Ebay, and the Silicon is different than the grasp.
The Grasp has the diagonal lines which is an easy way to identify. It sell for like 8 bucks new on ebay last time I looked.

Bulky, yes... 3 weeks ago me and Infuse were playing hide and go seek... I had to go, Infuse wins, can not find it. At 30 mph, I find the Infuse, in my rear-view mirror, tumbling down the street trying it hardest to catch up to me. I knew the phone was toast, I turned around with a slight tear in the left eye... The Body Glove case took a beating, each corner has road rash, but not a scratch on the Infuse. Hollywood couldn't have written that script and be believable. Maybe it was sheer luck, but Bulky Body Glove case FTW.

Then again, I have 4 cases including the HC Ballistic.

So i got it today. I dont like it.

I got mine a week or so ago for my infuse. Paid 5.00 for the body glove and its not bad, hell its only 5 bucks. I hated the naked shield, it made the phone feel rough around the edges. I peeled it off a day or to after I got it.
