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 =(

I've been using mine for about a month and a half. Its great. Love that it covers all the ports. But its slipped out of my hands numerous times. Wish it came with a holster.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
fast review of this case:
good, solid design. love the inside rubber lining on the back cover.
outside material really slick, it has slipped out my hands numerous times. got some nice "wear and tear" marks because of this.
coupled with good screen protector i got a brick i can throw at someones head and knock em out.
pain in the ass to take off to use game gripper.
front cover does not feel like it will last forever as the clips are thin and crappy.
8/10
the rubber/hardcase combo from case-mate for nexus one is my gold standard for cell phone cases.
If you bought the case when the sensation first cane out, like me, then you might have noticed the indentations it leaves on the back cover. I contacted customer service at body glove and just got this in an email..
"The original case for the HTC Sensation was recalled by us due to a fit issue. T-Mobile changed the design of the phone and we were not apprised of it. So T-Mobile was supposed to quarantine the product. Some of the defectives were sold by T-Mobile. I think that the damage to your phone might be due to the bad fit, in which case, I have to refer you back to T-Mobile. I would be happy to replace the phone case but I can’t do anything about your phone."
So if any have you have the defective phone case just email [email protected] about it and they should take care of you. You just need a picture of the original receipt.
Also, sorry if this has already been posted. I've seen posts about the cases causing damage but not that body glove will replace it.

From what I understand its the 2 piece bodyglove slide case (top & bottom piece) that has been recalled not the one that includes the belt clip. I originally got the 2 piece & couldn't even get the phone into the case, immediately returned & traded for the bodyglove with belt clip / kickstand & have had no problems.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
No it is the one with the belt clip that caused all the issues. Just letting you know. The one without fit to snug but loosens to perfect fit.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
Can I do this if I got it from WirelessGround.com? My case was not a good fit and it left some indentation on my phone too. My receipt would be in my email.
I also thought the 'Icon' case was pulled too. This post refers to the pink and grey one:

Maybe all the Body Glove cases were pulled?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
Maybe they did pull all. I 1st bought the grey & black slider & when I brought it back into the store they told me that it wasn't supposed to on the shelves.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
They both are not right because there missing holes on the back. But the black and grey slider acually is a great case. It takes about a day for it to loosen up just enough to pull of the bottom and snap the top off. But its a nightmare to put on and take off the first couple times. The kickstand case is nice just for the fact that its so slim on the top around the edges unlike any other case made right now. I would just get a normal hard shell case with all the holes on the back until the release of more advanced cases. They are coming out with high end cases soon that will be much better than these tpu and hard shell snap cases. But right now all the high end ones coming out are missing holes like otter box case and siedo cases. Hopefully they will realize this before they release them. Otherwise might have to break out the old drill bit.

I paid $20 for the silicone case but, its not easy to get into a pocket.
I was asking the clerk about the bodyglove case and he said they
were recalled because there were issues that it would not stay closed.
I called a few stores before I found one in stock..Paid $30 and have
not had any problems and, it stays closed.

The first time I put mine on it fit very well. It was snug and it stayed shut. But after taking it off a couple if Times it starts to creak and feels loose. You can tell because it becomes very easy to take off. So just watch out for that.

Just an fyi, I got my replacement Body Glove case with kickstand from Body Glove today. I had bought from wirelessground.com. I emailed them my email receipt from wirelessground and they accepted it with no questions. So if you went that route and thought you couldn't get a replacement you can.
I just snapped it on and snapping on was not as tight as the old one. I've held both cases side by side and can't see any difference but this new one seems to be a bit looser.

This looks really nice. Just picked one up.
I just picked up a white one too. They look pretty nice. I may end up grabbing the official clear case if I can find it in stock. Wasn't going to use a case, but the camera sticking out kind of worries me. I am really easy on my devices, but I'm concerned the lens will get scratched just from sitting it on my desk. These cases look like they have a lip that will prevent the lens from touching when sitting the phone down.

Interesting have one like that. Thin, matte finish, but the fit is a little tight (can scratch the smooth sides). Not very protective, and there are a few open spaces around the sides, but I like it. It DOES protect the camera lens. As for the screen protector, haven't found one that fits well on the convex sides of the screen.

So with people now saying that the camera glass on the LTE version sits inside the metal ring (barely,but enough to prevent scratches), I may buy this case and get a dock, I was avoiding it because I didn't want scratches on the lens.

I'll probably pick up this Seidio Active case/holster combo once it becomes available (I have the identical one for my Inspire 4G).
The Surface version is the only one available now but I prefer the less hard case design of the Active.

Based on my ATT HTC One X, I don't see the metal ring protruding at all. Maybe a tiny bit, but it is barely perceptible. If the glass is below the metal ring it is just a few micrometers. A single grain of sand would be more than enough to make up the distance and scratch it up

The surface case on their site only says it's for the GSM version, while a lot of their other cases list the GMS and LTE versions. I thought they were supposed to be exactly the same, except for the CPU and storage.

There are reports that there is a slight size difference between the One X and AT&T One X (One X LTE/One XL). I haven't verified it myself but it would make sense that the Surface would have two versions (the hard case would need to be more exacting than the soft/semi-soft Active cases).
Quoteth the Wiki:
The One XL is almost identical physically although the XL is slightly longer by 0.04mm.

Very slight.
Incidentally, the product code for the Surface LTE version is CSR3HTNXL-BK. BD2-HR3HTNXL-BK is the Surface case/holster combo.

For those who don't use a case, how is the wear and tear on the phone? Any discoloration of the white phone? I ask because I ha e a clear silicon case that is now disgustingly dirty and no longer clear and the phone looks so slick without a case.
Don't know how for others, mine stays in a case of one sort or another and has Ghost armor on both sides.
But, I can probably guess OneXs are holding up better against wear an tear versus another shiny high gloss phone used under same circumstances.
Mines white too, on topic, an has black armor on it, the exposed parts that are white are easily cleaned an show no wear from when phone is not cased but depending on what does in their life any phone is going to possibly show signs of wear in bad situations without a case.(Where exposed)
For myself, just comes down to, do you feel lucky or not against drops while being case or skinless even. If it wasn't for that darn camera ring protruding so far, I'd go completely case less and rely on G/A alone.
Thankfully, our phones are not painted, a friend's GNex got scarred badly in a case where sand got in with it,...where we could buff it out I bet.

I had a full body best skins ever on mine until my back covering started to peel up a little so I took it off. I haven't dropped it yet, but as far as normal pocket and set down scratching, none yet. I do have a screen protector on it but that's it. I love the matte finish on the back, can't bring myself to cover it back up. I was always worried the camera ring was gonna get scratched up on the bottom, but it seems to be tough as nails.
Mines still mint.. never had a case on it since release. ONLY thing is that stupid grey sticker on the back is starting to have its corners roll back a teensy bit... I want to take it off but don't know if it's necessary if I ever have to send it in.. can anyone confirm this?
