eBay case purchase mishap avoided - AT&T LG Optimus G

I ordered a silicone gel rubber case from eBay seller case_ology yesterday, & awoke this morning to find a message from them. The message explained that the case I'd bought had been a part of a shipment that had been mislabeled by the manufacturer, & were in fact cases for the Sprint version. Sounds familiar, right? Well, the seller, instead of just sending me a Sprint case, offered an immediate refund, or that I could wait until the correct cases arrived early next week.
I was just impressed with the professionalism & thought I'd pass on the info.

Any chance there's any in white? Kinda tired of having a dark phone when my jackets and purses are dark toned and I can't find it.

..what? They're the same damn phone. The only difference is the size of the camera lens assembly, apparently the 13mp camera isn't flush with the body. Or does the LS970 case not have a cutout for the SD/SIM sockets on the left side? .. and why would you WANT one?
I've had the E970 and E971 in my hands side-by-side, that's the only external difference between those two.

No, they are not the same phone. The Sprint version is longer and rounded corners while the AT&T version is wider and has squared corners. And Sprint does not have a SIM/SD card slot. Calm your rampage and do research lol.

Yeah - The AT&T version must be an AT&T exclusive. The Sprint version is the same as the international one externally from what I see. So I guess we're very much a niche market unless LG releases the E970 version internationally also. Or, to put it another way, we're probably going to be waiting a bit for some more case love.

All I want is a silicone case. ): boo for at&t wanting to be different.

Its a good thing as you get MicroSD card or you would of had none.

SD card actually isn't important to me considering 16gb internal.
I'm not even using the SD card yet and I've only used 2 of the internal.

There is a gel case for the AT&T version. They have a handful of colors.

Wow, $65 for a case. But if it is good quality leather, it would be worth every penny. We will see I suppose. I'm sill waiting for a leather case with a belt clip thats not junk. I look forward to a full review OP, don't let us down!
I want it so bad. Thin, kickstand, great color, and stuff. I dunno if it has bumper sidings. but hey thats what the best buy accidental plan is for. not bad for ten bucks a month

I like that they have different colors. The brown would look sexy on the white note, but on a black one may look odd. Note sure though. I noticed they had a burgandy or maroon one, nice to have some options.
Very nice. But that's really pricey.
It reminds me of the Samsung flip cases. I wonder if it supports the NFC antenna as it looks like it replaces the back battery cover.

I don't think it replaces the back cover. They make another version without the flip cover that is a 2-part, front and back snap together case. This one looks just like it. So the back of the case fits over the Note's back cover, then you attach the front bezel.

You should try the yooboa flip cases, they're real leather and half the price. They make 2 styles, I have the executive leather one, no complaints here and for $23 it'll hold me over til trident or otterbox decide to release their cases.

That's on the optimistic side of typical for HK purchase. I bought some batteries mid month and saw 28th as expected delivery and thought it was great, then when the 29th came I was wondering where my stuff was and looked it up and it actually had said the end of the following month. I was ticked, mostly as myself. Batteries showed up a week or two later though ahead of schedule.
Just bought mine from amazon for $39.99
When you get one of these Tryit cases in, will you please let us know if the bezel covers the edge of the display? From the pictures, it looks like it doesn't (which would allow me to put a Glas.t on it). Thanks.
Once I get it, I'll post pics.

"Luxury Hard Aluminum Metal Cover Case" on eBay...

I just ordered this for our 2 brand new Notes.
It was cheap enough to take a chance. A few reviews exist for other Galaxy phones, with negative effects on NFC (not a prob for the Note) but otherwise not bad. I liked the brushed metal look, though I suspect the "metal" is not truly metal , probably a metallic sticker.

Black and copper (they call it brown). If I like them enough I may get a silver one also. For $7 shipped I don't mind a having a few. I kinda expect them to be a little cheesy
If you like the metals here is another aluminum option that a user here found.
I actually went on a case/cover buying spree last night, getting these and several other options for my fiancee as presents (gotta keep 'em happy!) since I talked her into a white Note yesterday. Should have 4 different styles on the way.

I'm aware of the post prior to mine. On that post they linked to the Ballistic site, saying a case was coming for our phones. My post is of me finding the case already for sale on Ebay, and not on the Ballistic site. Just giving the heads up pretty much.
I remember seeing the post, but just now noticed you edited your post on the 9th with the Ebay info.

I agree. I bought one from another eBay seller. I cannot put the link since I do not have enough posts yet. But, search for 'Ballistic DNA case' and it should show the case for less than $20 shipped.

I think the Life Style case has interchangeable bumpers, but the Shell Gel (SG) Case has the bumpers integrated so it cannot be changed.
Not sure how I did not notice this before, but the Ballistic SG Case that I'm using seems to be squeezing the device too much. I think someone else pointed this out using another case. Because the device gets squeezed, the screen has faint blobs of blue. The issue can be further seen if just a bit more pressure is placed on the side where the bluish blob is noticed. I removed the polycarbonate shell, leaving only the rubber skin on the device and the bluish blob goes away. I think these polycarbonate cases that squeeze onto the device might be damaging the device as well.

Thats a nice case! hopefully some one can confirm that it does so I can buy one.
I might just buy it to see. I know att version is slightly wider then sprint version
Sent from my LG-E970 using Tapatalk 2
Generally any case made for Sprint won't fit AT&T's unless it's silicon/jelly.
We're wider and shorter and square, so it makes for a really awkward fit.
Nice find. I'd definitely be interested in an E970 variant if they make one. I especially like how the notification light is unobstructed (I'm holding onto hope that newer ROMs will actually make that light usable).
That this is nice. Sprint gets the best cases. Why did ATT have to mess with the phone's dimensions?

how in any way could you infer that they were pushing the sale of the item, they quoted that the case sales page said it was for sprint variant and that they contacted the seller, and to my understanding, the seller dosnt really know what the hell is going on because he said that it was for the at&t version. so not only are they getting misinformation from multiple sources, they are willing to spend their money on a product that most likely wont fit on the device for our benefit, especially since flip cases are pretty awesome. so show some respect for someone willing to take the fall when you wont.

you're right, a pouch. they still make some great looking stuff
I asked Trim Leather about a case way back in early September, I had specifically asked him about a one off wallet case and he said they would be offering products for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 and possibly others.
I got an updated email from him a couple of days ago. They ran into a structural design issue they are working out. The S-Pen slot has caused the delay so he was expecting something to be available for us to see later this month, hopefully sooner.
Any news?:fingers-crossed:

they look great except for the large hand threads.. that looks terrible.

It's a case, the people posting saying its a pouch posted in early October - before they released the image of the case.
