Is it just me, or is it weird that this phone is truly a flagship (carried on multiple carriers, amazing specs) and the manufacturers like Seidio, Mugen Power, and the like haven't released ANY accessories? I mean, this is even basically the flagship phone from Google directly...
We've now unlocked the bootloader, which means that ROMs will quickly be available, but this phone is just too thin and slick to NOT have a case of any kind.
The first thing to keep in mind is that although the specs are virtually identical to the N4, the phones external design is completely different. So, one wouldnt fit the other and as such, that point is moot.
Now, i havent done alot of searching, but im also fairly sure that the N4 doesnt have an over abundance of accessories available as of yet, and again, im fairly sure that its probably sold more units than the OG. I checked sites like Seidio.com and they have nothing available for it that i was able to find. The thing is, even phones that dont sell like crazy have alot of accessory options, but they dont usually appear until about a month after the phone is released. It gives accessory manufacturers time to design and make them.
I purchased a One X on launch day about 6 months ago, and i was able to find a case...at AT&T, and a screen protector. However, when i looked on line, i couldnt find many options for it the first few weeks, and now, they are every where. So, i would say be patient, give it time, and you will find that accessories will start appearing from every where. I know Otterbox has a commuter in the works and im guessing many others will too. I for one am hoping Seidio does because i have always loved their cases.

Thanks for the input. I'm hoping what you say is true, and you apparently have the research to back it up. I also wasn't aware that the N4 and LGOG share a different external design... That's good to know.

Yes, the N4 is more curvy, even the screen has curved edges. The LGOG is very....square or rather, rectangle and boxy.

I would have gone with an N4 if it had LTE & a microSD slot.
dont the sprint version and att version have slightly different dimensions anyway? When i went and picked mine up the other day the only OG case they had at best buy didnt fit my phone at all. I wonder if it was specific to the sprint version and didnt say so on the packaging
The build quality on this phone isn't cheap like Samsung. I will never hide this phone using a case

In theory I completely agree with you... In practice however, this phone is just too slippery. I've already almost dropped it more times than I can count. It needs protection.

Best Buy has the Invisible Shield HD from Zagg, and it fits the AT&T variant perfectly. My understanding is that the Zagg site doesn't even list the HD, which is better quality/clarity than the standard protector the site does list.
Well, we may be waiting a bit for cases. I got this from Seidio after asking about cases and such:

I used one of this company's body protectors on my Duo, the thing was amazing. I know the description is kinda lame, but the protection kicks ass. Was hard to put on the curved parts of my phone's body (like all of these protectors are), but the screen protector is as easy to apply as any I've seen, and once you get it all on, it stays.
Ebay link for full body protection
Ebay link for screen protector only
Note: This isn't my auction, I was just browsing and saw that they had these available already.
Let me know how it fits your G1. I'm interested to know how they did it with the phone not out yet. Even the Invisible Shield guys (the "pioneers" of this kind of protector) are delaying til someone volunteers them a G1 for measurement after the release date.

What he said.... plus will the keyboard still slide? can we get to the reset button (if there is one)? does it come off easy or will it be a 2 hr process if we want to pull the SIM card?
Most of these full-body protectors come in several pieces that cover the whole phone, but still allow slides, buttons, etc. to work just fine.
My problem (and the reason I'm going with the invisible shield at zagg.com) is that some of these companies don't really cover the whole phone or even bother with the corners. Invisible shield covers everything.
And they're good for one use (but rock solid). They can be removed, but not generally repositioned since after they dry the first time, removing them stretches them out of shape.

That's how this one was for my Duo, and as for covering the whole phone it did that well. As for trying it on my G1, I don't have a G1 so that'd be quite difficult.

I know, man. That's one reason I trust the zagg people more...because they're actually waiting til the phone is released so they can get measurements. The get a lucky(?) volunteer to ship the phone to them and they custom-make the shield, install it, and ship it back, all for free. Then they have the measurements and can sell them to everybody. I'm a little wary of guys who claim to have a TBS before the phone is out.
I looked at "clear coat" I think. Some of their iPhone/touch/wtf ever protectors didn't even make it to the corners of the device. But the Invisible Shield brand covered everything but the ports. That's kinda what I'm looking at...but I'd be more than willing to pay less for something identical.

Haha, that always pissed me off that they made a customer send theirs in. Really, buy the ****ing phone and return it a day later, it's not hard. As for the G1, they're not hard to get... There are probably 10 on eBay that aren't pre-release, it's just that people don't bother to look.
Yeah, it's the slower process, but it's a guarantee that the shield will be 100% right for the phone. We are talking total-body protector, rather than just screen protector.
And if phones are being gouged on ebay for $600-1000 when there's just a little more than a week before anybody and his brother can get one, I can understand the wait. They sell shields; they're not in the phone-buying business. They've got a decent business model, even if it doesn't suit the impatient.
Edit: Someone on the tmonews forums got the "clear protector" brand from an ebay vendor. It comes in two pieces and doesn't cover the sides or corners.
i ordered one at e-bay and already have it home. im courios how its gonna fit a screen. but best thing is i spend only 0.01$ with free shippingfor it

They must've gotten their volunteer. I know a guy on tmonews was actively courting them for his free shield.

yeah I ordered mine already... I talked to them on the phone and they told me that if someone was willing to pay for shipping the phone both ways they would probably make them a shield for free and install it so that they can get the measurements early... so if you have a phone and want a shield call them and see what you can work out...
wow, that looks pretty cool. Next paycheck i'm going to order one of those for my G1, my psp slim, and maybe for my Zen.
zagg.com emailed me and said that my shield was mailed... I am impressed... that was really fast.

I ordered the Bodygaurdz after reading a review of the two
the orangepeel effect is supposed to be seen as a negative thing making the screen harder to see, like a type of haze. The bodygaurdz is supposed to be tougher than the IS and shouldn't tear/scratch as easy. Also reviewed as more invisible/transparent too. I should receive it in a couple days and will post some photos before and after and let you know my real thoughts about it.
I like that you get 2 full body protectors for $24 and the shipping was free from bodygaurdz direct website.

my shield got here last night and I put it on and it looks really nice... I wish the front part had been one piece but I guess it works the way it is. With it on the screen actually feels more responsive and easier esp when scrolling.
There is a place by my house that sells IS and puts it on for you. The owner stopped by my store and gave me a card to get one for free. So I hit them up today and got it put on. So far its not bad but there are some rough edges. They told me it would smooth out in a few days after its "Cured". They also said not to put it in your pocket for 2 days. I will report back in a few days to see how it goes.
Where do you live? I am thinking of taking my off because I messed up and having someone else do it for me. Sadly while I was doing it the door bell rang and I had to answer it... well needless to say I had to reapply the screen piece again and now it is kinda funky... Other than that it is good I am just hoping the screen cures.
I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:

As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.

Read the reviews on those on Amazon (for other devices). Not such great reviews.
If I see commentsin reviews like "Rubbery" it's off my list.
If I see liquid included or in the instructions it's off my list.
If I see reduces reflections or no fingerprints it's off my list.
I want a crystal clear one. That looks just like the original screen.
This is what I bought on ebay AFTER trying crappy invisashield from Best buy.

You'd be hard pressed to know it's on my phone. Doesn't scratch easy like some do either.
I ordered these. Reading reviews of the others (for other devices) all indicated they were "soft". Reading the reviews on this one, they seem to describe the type I like.
But I have no idea how good they will be.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007X6JQV8/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
xoskins is the best you can get and they have been shipping for weeks. They are a wet install so they have the best hold and clarity, it just takes a day to dry so follow the instructions. Use their install video if you need help. I have one on my Nexus, I may get the Evo Lte as soon as I can get my hands on one. I like the removable battery and sd capability. You also may want to go for the full body or get a screen and a carbon fiber. Every review I have seen is worried about the top part of the back scratching easy and being covered in finger prints.

Personally, I'm not planning on getting a case. I think the phone looks too good on it's own to cover it up. My only concern would be dust and pocket lint getting in the open grill sides.

I think it would work with a case but I don't think you really need a case with gorilla glass 2 but if I do get one it will most likely be the tpu case because I always buy that on my android devices and love the design and feel so much.
Sent from my CM9 HTC Thunderbolt from Tapatalk 2.4
I don't like the added bulk of cases, though I'll be getting a screen protector as soon as one is available. HTC adds an additional glossy coating on top of the Gorilla Glass, and it is more prone to surface scratches than the Gorilla Glass itself.
Plus I have two pieces of dust underneath the Galaxy S3 screen protector I've got on the DNA temporarily. Want to get that remedied ASAP.

Does anyone know of any phone with fairly similar dimensions? Most of what I researched has the DNA being taller. The reason I ask is because I like sleeves instead of a case....I guess it's an old blackberry habit. I had the original Nexus neoprene one for my OG Incredible. If I can find a quality sleeve for another device, it might suit the DNA just fine.
Thanks
Body Glove Drop suit is available on eBay for the DNA.

Can someone please link me to a place on ebay where I can buy this case in white that will work with the verizon variant? I hate how these things differ slightly and aren't all compatable

i bought the tech armor tempered glass, not with this case in particular, but am really happy with their product. i was super wary of it overall, as with all screen protectors, make sure you get rid of all the dust before you stick it on. i've been happy with their oil-resistant surface
this is the best case that has ever come out for my needs. I have always wanted a slim bumper case. i wish all phones came out with this case
I think its super lame I buy a non carrier exclusive device for once and all the good accessories are overseas making them cost prohibitive...
Works with Verizon variant? Please let me know
Bought one

I bought mine from here: http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-slim-guard-case-for-lg-g3-black-262011/
Works great with my Verizon variant and Qi charger. Love how sleek it is. Two major issues I have with it. The lip is almost non-existent, practically flush with my tempered glass screen protector. I would have preferred it to be a little higher for better protection. And secondly, it adds absolutely nothing as far as grip-ability goes. Not sure how long I will keep it for those two reasons.
late but not forgotten

I know I am kind of late but I feel the one at the link above is as good as any and costs a lot less. Fits my Verizon G3.

All LG G3 cases work with all variants of the G3. The body type is the same, as well as size and shape. Case are not provider specific.
UPDATE:
DOH! Wish there was a way to delete your posts. I'm going to assume you also want wireless charging to work as well since it appears the slim cases allow that.
I guess in that case, yeah, where do you find one that is VZW compatible?

I bought this one. It took about 3 weeks. It weekends perfectly. Qi charging worthless as well. I bought the white one.

White one on eBay sold today used. Some fool was trying to sneak away paying only 3 bucks but I made sure he paid at least 20 for a used one by bidding at the last minute. Sneaky guy outsmarted me. I kinda wanted it lol.
this is the best case ever I wish they had this type of case for every phone. I have been using it since i got the phone.

I know! I just want a black one... And totally want a aqua mint quick circle case (but not until lollipop and xposed are working on the vs985)
I like the official slim hard cases too... I just can't wrap my mind around spending much for a case on a free phone...
But this case... Is so nice.... http://www.mobilefun.com/45814-lg-g3-quickcircle-snap-on-case-aqua-mint.htm
I will buy several oem cases for my g3 if the g4 is just incremental update....

I rather spend now on an OEM superior product then same amount on an inferior, off brand case(s) that does not offer the same functionality or pulchritudinous.
Ordered mine Fri, they didn't have it in stock (even tho it said it did) so going to be a long wait. Will update thread with pics when I receive case.

Cool.
If I knew the lg g4 was crap or didn't have root or verizon compatibility, I'd buy the slim guard and the zero lemon case. And use the phone another year.
I just ordered 4 spigen cases for the lg g4 for $12 I couldn't resist.
