Perfect Case?

Now the waiting the game lol

I'm waiting for this, too, and I hope it doesn't have fitment issues like they've had with every other phone I've gotten this case for. I don't mind the electrical tape fix but it shouldn't be necessary for a case that you spend that much money on.

I love their cases, I've used them on a few different phones, the latest being the Vibrant. The only downside I've had is the cost. I'll probably wait for one of their sales after it comes out before I think of buying it though.

VERY nice! Reminds me of the Marware case I had for my iPhone (which still.. to this day... was my favorite case ever). I was JUST on the Marware site with my fingers crossed hoping for a G2X variant.. but no avail. THIS however... looks very nice. Thanks for sharing!

I like the case also. but I'm afraid the top clip might scratch the phone if i dont take out the phone carefully/slowly...

I'm going to wait for the Trident Aegis case. According to the email I got from their customer service ([email protected]), it will be out 1st week of June.

If it's anything like the surface case for the nexus one you shouldn't have any problems with scratches.

egon27 is right. One of my cases for my N1 was a Seidio Surface case and I loved it. It was snug, but was easily put on and removed. It had a soft, felt like material that covered the inside back and stayed together once you clicked it. The only issue I had was that it had a tendency to catch my screen protector w/the wrap around edges whenever I would slide it on.
However, I'm waiting for the Trident case as well...

[Q] Best Products for Protection?

What are the best products that would keep my inspire from being damaged.
-screen protector
-case
-etc~~
I am trying to buy the accessories from this website because everything is so cheap!
http://www.handhelditems.com/

I'll say this and it's gonna sound bad but there's no other way to say it, but you get what you pay for.

I use a zagg on screen. That's it. Teamed with not being retarded and careless enough to drop, my phones stay pretty mint.

I have a CaseMate Pop! Case & some cheap matte screen protectors off eBay; personally don't like the feel of the invisibleshield.
IMO the pop case is one of the best looking cases out there -- also love that it's rubber / plastic.

I use Seido Convert combo - came with the screen protector, an everyday case, and then a case that survives the hood of an suv being slammed on it multiple times before it's owner realizes why they hood won't close
Oh, also came with a holster for the big case.

Duplicate - please delete

Otterbox - Defender Series is the way to go if you want optimum protection.

Otterbox would be best for pure protection, but I think the bulk is way too much. I use a Speck case with Invisible Shield, and i think its a great combo for both the screen and the phone, as well as looking nice and being sleek.

1: got to be John Browning's design in the original G'vt caliber.
2: At my age , the only gals interested don't have to worry about that problem.
3. Seidio is my choice. With the holster no screen protector needed. And have sat on mine as well as dropped it several times without an issue.

Agreed ...otter box is my top pick, and with it's built in screen protection you really can't go wrong ..g

Otterbox commuter. Comes with a screen protector.
I also buy cheap screen protectors off of Amazon.

I have the CONVERT COMBO from Seido. I have to say it has done its job; my phone still works. With kids needless to say it has been dropped a few times. I also work out side in rugged conditions, without the case my Inspire would be destroyed. Only down fall is it the phone shows wear (scratches) on the sides; due to taking it in and out of the case. I will take the scratches over a dented, and or broken phone any day. Its a little pricey, however it is worth every penny.

Go to Amazon and buy a tpu phone case. They are cheap, very low profile and are very reliable in terms of phone protection!

If you want to carry a damn brick in your pocket lol... Way too big for me imo.. I'll just stick with the soft rubber/silicone cases, easy to remove if you need to dock your phone, and they've protected my phone from quite a few hard drops. It just sucks when it gets hot out and the damn thing sticks to the inside of your pocket lol

Trident Perseus

We all know how amazing the Trident Aegis case is when it comes to protection, but some of you guys were turned off by the thickness.
http://www.cyclopscase.com/perseus-series-lg-g2x-black/
Came across this the other day - the protection of the Aegis, without losing the phone's sleek design.
Gonna order it soon, will report back on how it is.

How bad is the scratching on the Speck, in your opinion? Is it as horrifying as people make it up to be?

Got mine this last Monday. Seems great, I did notice that the buttons push very easily but that's fine with me.

Scratching? Yeah its pretty bad and the side rubber breaks off easily

Anyone review this yet?

bump... no review... no discussion whatsoever on this case.
I'm not sure if it even exists.

Its not worth the discussion. Its basically a the Aegis without the covers and the hard shell. The Aegis is by far the better choice, and not too mich bigger than the Perseus.
I bought the Perseus and Aegis at the same time, got the Perseus before the Aegis and then sold the Perseus to a friend after being much more satisfied with the Aegis. Hope this helps anyone considering Trident cases.

Anything else you'd like to add about the cover? I'm mainly curious about how it compares to the Aegis in terms of thickness and weight.

It looks alright. Personally I think the aegis is superior looks-wise and I'm gonna keep rocking that. Can you post pictures if and when you get this case? What's the exact difference in thickness between this and the aegis??

Well its made up of non slip silicone, so it has a nice feel to it. I would definitely feel comfortable running with it or doing any activity that would require the phone not to slip out of my hand.
Well its a little smaller than the Aegis, maybe around .15 mm. Its almost nothing. It is slightly heavier, I think because they went with a sturdier silicone on the Aegis, but I like it as my phone feels protected.
The thing that won me over was the hard shell, it makes it easier to take out of jeans (I wear jeans most of the time) than just the silicone case. The added protection is nice, as is the anti-skid feature, even though the silicone case has it as well. Hope this helps anyone considering Trident cases. The last thing that I love about the Aegis are the dust/water resistant covers. While obviously dunking your phone in water might not be the best idea, if you suddenly spill a drink near your phone, you don't have to worry about the exposed Micro USB and headphone ports. Obviously not the HDMI since it is already covered, but its nice to have it available as well.
Also, I can post pictures of the Aegis case if anyone requests it, I don't have the Perseus anymore but I might be able to compare for a brief moment.

Your description actually sold me on this case. I hate the covers on the usb port and the double coverage of the hdmi port on the aegis and that skimpy plastic backing doesn't convince me enough of the extra protection. I think the Perseus has some promise, just like the name implies. I just ordered one, I'm sure it will be better than the lg optimus 2x kickstand case I have right now (kickstand broke off many months ago).

It's just OK.. Its a plastic case that protects the back with no protection for the front. It gets a bit more slippery, but it is a perfect fit case. The kickstand is real fragile and flimsy though and loosens up after extended use. The kickstand was kinda cool though cause I would always prop my phone up and never had to lift my phone up to see whose calling.
It is an official lg case, but there are better ones out there. I think this Perseus case will be batter.

Alright, I just received the trident Perseus case, and I really like it. I've never owned the aegis, and I have only had the lg kickstand case to really compare it too. This is hands down better than any plastic case out there. All the cutouts are perfect on this case and I have not had any issues at all with usb or 3.5mm fitment. This case provides the most grip I've ever scene on any phone, on st. paddy's day I was wobbling and swaying around the streets but this phone was stuck to my hand, no drunk drops. You'd have to be in cardiac arrest for this phone to slip out of your hands. I never really like holding my handset up to my ear because it felt uncomfortable for long periods of time, but with this case on the comfort level is optimum for that talking stance. I think the only way to top this case would be for goodyear, michelin, or pirelli to develop a non slip rubber case for our phone (which ain't gonna happen).
As for protection, the four corners have the most protection, The front bottom lip is raised for a little front screen protection.. the top of the front screen protection is kinda of skimpy and the back is very firm on the top part. The different textures on the back is a nice touch for the grip on this phone and the side grips absolutely make this phone. If you know senior citizens with smartphones, you should recommend this case (Safe for ages 10 & up). Also, the speaker and mic cover are nice touches but I really don't run into many dust storms or work on a construction site so I can't comment on their effectiveness to block out any dust particles. It's definitely worth $12.99.

Sorry if this is a silly question, but can you easily take off/on the case?

[Review] Body Glove Smooth Case

Just recently bought a Body Glove Smooth Case for my Infuse from Walmart ($17.96 i believe is how much it came to)
Bought this case recently because I've been having butterfingers when it comes to my Infuse, a few nicks and scratches later I decided it was time.(shoulda been sooner) So I went for the cheap option of this case. It feels great, doesn't add too much more size to the phone, and it's a hard back so it can take a bit of a beating. It was easy to install, but I must say difficult to remove, I tried removing it exactly how instructions stated and all it did was damage the case. After a while I managed to pop it off. But all in all it's been a great case, and for sure worth the money, the color options is an added plus. Mine being a very stimulating blue color.
Out of 10 I'd give this case a 7.
Just my 2 cents on it.
Peace out with the Grease out,
Malicious, Much love.

Using this case for a good while now and yesterday I went to a party and stuff got crazy, long story short my phone was thrown a good 10-15 feet landed on concrete and bounced a little. This case saved my phone, hardly any damage done to the case, nothing cracked. This thing is solid. I recommend it.

A lot more resilient than its appearance might make you think. I've had it for almost a month and I'm extremely impressed.

Very much so, as am I. I'm glad I made the investment

Just bought one per your recommendation. Great case and defiantly provides protection feels solid without adding much to phone. (can't stand otterbox cases).
Infact it makes the phone easier to hold.
Edit: just wanted to say how it doesn't feel like a cheapo silicone case but actually feels like a quality product.

yes, feels great, doesn't add too much more size to the phone.

My case finally took a beating that took it out for good. After a while I noticed that this case became weak. Mainly from taking it off and putting it back on every time I had to pull the battery. But the other day it finally had it and cracked.

It sounds like you hate your phone more.
Why? The ballistic SG case is not quite as big as the HC case, but gives incredible protection. But hey, if you don't mind breaking and replacing your phones, go for it.
A friend of mine doesn't believe in cases of any kind and works construction. It will break eventually, and I'll be the first to say "I told you so".
Plus, a hardy case gives it that manly, rugged look. Sorry, I shouldn't assume you want that.

I don't know why really but ever since my early iPhone days I was really never a fun of otter box/ballistic cases. I bought on for my infuse but I only used it for maybe a week. Since then I purchased another body glove case and its serving me just fine
Sent from my SGH-I997 using XDA

My philosophy is I bought the slimmest 4g smart phone and I intend to keep it that way
Besides, I think you will be surprised how much any sort of case can take, you don't need a full inch of plastic to take a hit, just enough to transfer the forces around the phone and not through the glass. I dropped my phone the other day, waist height, hit on the corner, scratched up the case a little, but phone didn't get touched

The body glove is a great protector and not extremely expensive. I'm a fan for sure.

I've Gone NAKED!!!!!!!!

I bought a leather backed MX14 and then what did I do? I bought a bumper and 2 cases for it. Why? Because I didn't want to scratch it, lol! Stupid I know.
Then today I was taking the Incipio NGP case off to put the Case-Mate Hula bumper on so that I could at least feel the leather and I scratched the leather back with my nails. I gasped in horror but really it is a good thing b/c now it is not pristine and I can wean myself off of these cases.
The leather is really a nice feel in the hand and it isn't slippery at all. The metal frame is a bit slippery but with the grip of the leather it is not too bad.
I think I may buy a sleeve to put it in when it is in my purse.
The leather is really cool and well worth the extra $25 but the black is so unfeminine. I like it when I am dressed up in black clothes but other than that, it looks like a man's phone. I wish they would do a white leather but then, that would likely get dirty so they would get a bunch of complaints.
I think I will get this sleeve

Yup, that was my issue. I started with the phone naked for the same reason mentioned above (feel in hand, looks, etc.). I've also had both the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 before this, both of which survived multiple drops each other than a slight bend in the metal. With the Moto X, on the other hand, I dropped it once onto a granite floor and the screen broke instantly. I bought a replacement and kept it naked...then dropped it again on some linoleum and broke the screen again. $240 in replacement fees later, I bought a case for the third one. The way the screen is set up makes it break instantly upon hitting a corner, which wasn't the case with my previous devices...I just don't trust this phone to survive any drop.

Yep, looks like motocare is a good investment in this case. Mine was a less than 2 foot drop from my pocket to the concrete steps in the garage. My old Galaxy S3 survived worse than that, in fact this is the first time I've had a screen crack since owning the original Galaxy S, and my phones are always naked. Worst before was dropping my Note from chest height onto dirt trail. All that did was pockmark the screen.
Speaking of naked, we have no proof the OP is actually going naked. So far I've only seen mention of a naked phone

It was $90 after sales tax for me and the deductible being only $39 would bring the cost of a new phone to $140. Even if my phone doesn't break, I am sure I will use it for a new battery when it gets close to the 2 year mark as I use my phone for WiFi MHS and that takes a toll on the battery. By then of course I will have a MX16 but it is still good to have spare phones as a backup device in case you lose your phone.

hahahahahaha, I am going to take some pics of my naked phone soon along with the cases I bought. I have a small dent in the leather now and haven't scratched it again, not bad. I do keep it in a Seidio spring clip holster (S5), so technically it is not naked. I guess I couldn't wean myself completely from my cases but the back is naked!

I really like the Hula Bumper. I bought it after the phone slipped out of my hand. I agree the metal is rather slick. A full case is a bit much considering I want to see and feel the wood on the back of my phone. That was one of the main reasons I picked it up.
