I've seen mention of the bumper case in a few posts... is there anywhere to purchase it online? Or for that matter, anywhere to purchase it besides an AT&T store?
I haven't found it on Belkin's web site and the only other sites I've seen it on said it was "Out of Stock". I passed on buying it in the store because it was $35 and I know it isn't worth that much!

the best phone ever
I agree it's not worth $35. I bought it at the at&t store the other day, and stopped using it today. The tiny amount of extra width it added to the phone was just too much for me. The OG feels much better in hand without a case. It is a little too slippery, though.

The Belkin case is a cheap piece of crap. I've already managed to crack the hard plastic shell taking it off to clean. And yes, it is very slippery.

Be careful taking it off though the top part of the phone is glues and I peeled a little bit off cause this case is so tight on the phone

Would you guys consider the bodyglove slimmer than the Amzer cases? http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Luxe-Ar..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334277058&sr=1-2
I bought two cases
one for $3 from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/White-Rubberi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334610692&sr=1-11
and the other one for $10 from Radioshack
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11791815&filterName=Brand&filterValue=HTC
I liked the latter one and am currently using it.
Don't buy the Body Glove slim profile case
Worst case I have ever purchased. The outside material feels nice but it is a very cheep casting. The edges are not smooth. when you hold the phone to your ear the edge of the case hurts your face and ear. It doesn't cover the top and bottom front edge. these edges will end up scratched up and the rest of the phone will be in good shape.
P.S. If you are willing to pay for the shipping you can have mine for free. My zip code is 93036. That's how much I don't like it.

No, the fact the antennae was on the bottom of the phone where you normally held it was why they switched the design. And plastic was just cheaper and more durable than the soft metal they were originally using. The metal did not affect reception. I used to own it

Wow, I love it. Reminds me of the e13ctron s4 case I had for my iphone 4. Thanks for the link, I may pick up one soon.
Looks really cool. Anyone get one yet?
I wish they had that combined with some rubber or silicone insulation.
My s3 screen is the perfect size for me feals like a mini tablet only problem is im worried it will break.
Now should i get an otterbox or anouther case to protect it?
I've been rocking with the cruzerlight TPU case for a while now and it does wonders. Doesn't make it too thick, adds grip, and is very protective, check it out

Dont worry man.
Its gorilla glass... wont break so easily.
I already dropped mine a hundred times. It hasnt got even a scratch.
Still, if you want to protect it that much, use a screen protector and put a case around your phone that covers your phone a little from front. This way, even if your phone falls, your screen will not have direct contact with ground and it wont break.
Bump lol.

Bumper case with a glass-back phone..
Why not just get one with a handle across the top, they you could actually use it as a curling rock.
I'm totally with you on the bumper case. Want want WANT. I've also seen some cases that are silicone with a clear plastic backing... might do in a pinch. Still much prefer a bumper (that's not $35... yeesh).
I have Belkin Bumper and I'm happy with it.. The only Con I have is the Headphone Jack/Port.. I have the Cassette Adapter in my car and it does not fit as the hole on the top is small. For that reason I might want to sell this case. If I can and get a new simple one.

Yes they cover the LED. (As its 2 layer case)
I hate the bumper case. So ugly and bulky. You can remove the rubber part from the outer shell and that's the size I wish it was. But you can't use it that way since it is loose and looks unfinished.

I agree that the bumper is too expensive for what it is. I spent $35 on a bumper I used for 3 days, and stopped because it was much bulkier than it needed to be and ugly to boot. My LG's naked now and I feel fine.

I found this bumper for the E971 on a Canadian retailer's website. Seems like the E971 and the At&t E970 are the same size so it should fit:
gocellular.ca/?item=lg3005 (new member so wont let me post direct link)
Part number for this is CCH180AGCABK and seems to be manufactured directly by LG. Looks much slimmer than the Belkin version.
According to Rogers website, it's the same size as the 973, not 970

Yep your right wasn't paying close enough attention, site I was using to compare sizes showed the E970 at 5.15 x 2.82 x 0.33 (131 x 72 x 8 mm) and the E971 at 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.5 mm (5.15 X 2.82. X 0.33). I looked at it in inches got excited and then failed to see that it is actually a different size.
lady at puremobile.com said this was for the AT&T version and would not fit the Sprint version. I ordered it via Amazon...we'll see.

edit: just got the case...it does not fit. it's just a smidgen too narrow for the phone.
this is my main gripe with LG at the moment...to sell a device under one name yet with multiple sizes. that was stoopid.

Keep us posted guys. The Belkin bumper from AT&T is decent but the ports are too small and you can't plug in the usb cable at the bottom to charge it.

I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.
