I thought I'd share the case I finally settled on after going through 2 crappy ones. One was a metal frame and the other was all jelly.
This case is like a hard plastic but bendable enough to easily get the phone out if you want. It looks great and is really durable. I like it because you can lay the phone face down and not have to worry about the glass touching the surface.
I haven't noticed any extra heat build up, unless I'm just going nuts, like downloading a torrent and playing a game. It's only about $8.50 shipped and I would recommend this to anyone. Feel free to tell me how much you hate it or love it.

Do either of you have a glass shield on your phone? IMm curious if this case will interfere with a glass shield.
I have a generic one from ebay and it does not interfere at all

I been using the Matte Black of Caseology since November of last year and i have to say it is really nice case.

Why is it called a bumper case when it has a full back on it?
SwiftKey'ed from my White Sprint Note 3 via XDA Premium
Do you know if wireless charging will work if using this case?
Had mine for about a week nice cover. The Spigen bounce case has more protection on the corners.

I have the burgundy leather one, but I'm not a big fan of it. It's not as attractive as I expected. Also, I found it too thick for me although it did seem like it would protect from drops. So if you don't like thick cases, this may not be for you.

I'm thinking about using full body skins instead of a case. Is anyone else protecting the phone this way? How is it working for you?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know as well. I did that on original EVO, and it worked well. I can't believe how many times I dropped the EVO on hard surfaces and had it be totally fine. The LTE feels more delicate. But I really don't want to add any additional size, I already wish it was about an inch shorter.
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.
I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.
All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.
The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...

I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.
It will not provide much drop protection though.

I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)

I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.
Just received this from amazon uk £6 and very impressed fits perfectly unlike IMO the ringke slim great protection all round quick video here
I got the similar one, but £12 - its got a rugged feel, adds a bit of weight (in a good way) - it has a feeling of almost granite in the hands. It will do nicely for general use until I get or need a expanded battery case.

jeez, you might as well have gotten a panasonic rugged phone
edit: ended up buying this anyway
How's the built-in screen protector? any touch sensitivity issue?
well it looks macho and protective enough. I can see how you baby your g3, the protective sticker on the button is still there!

Yea I've ordered both.. Got the clear back one which was a bit more plus postage so it cost me around £12. Il return one but still gonna lose out on postage. But i like the look of the supcase more.. wasn't a fan of the one big cut out for camera and flash I preferred 3 separate cut outs but having seen your video I think it actually looks really nice like that.

I saw this at Best Buy, it's kind of pricey but it fit super snug to the phone and added minimal bulk. I was about to buy it. What do you think? It has the magnetic kickstand and also comes with the belt holster.

I had this for my note 2 , love the feel and adds no bulk
Sent from my LG-D851 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The case isn't bad but to me its kind of expensive. I have it currently but I don't use the holster. The phone also sits up off the table with the bottom higher than the top because of the kick stand and that kind of bothers me but thats a personal annoyance =) I do love the feel of the Ez Grip texture though, feels nice, and really easy to clean.
I bought this case n holster and I only use the holster. The case for me is to slippery. I got an lg circle case from sprint and fits perfectly with this holster.
Sent from my Black Lg G3
I got this case when I bought the phone simply because it was the only one available at BB. Have been pleasantly surprised although I don't use the holster. The grip is quite tacky so I feel comfortable when holding with one hand, yet it fits in a pocket amazingly well. Feels smaller in my pocket than my GS3 did with the body glove drop suit case.

The Platinum from Best Buy is just a rebranded version of the Seidio. I got the Seidio and love it.
I love these cases. My last 4 phones used these cases . Saved my butt several times from dropping onto the ground and grandkid(s) abuse. Use with care , screen protectors have a tendency to lift on the sides when putting on or taking off this case.
,,.................peace Brian
Looks good. But it's too bulky for me. But thanks for sharing
I almost bought this, but have Amazon prime & knew I could wait 2 days. I bought 2 cases, 1 being a Folsom case (I think it's Folsum) & the other, same idea, not sure the brand, but the second one uses the rubber flaps like over charging port. I also bought a 10 pack of skins. Of course it's really a 3 pack as I won't be using purple, pink, yellow etc. I prefer the skins as I'm extremely careful with phone. I use no screen protector either. Only spent about $20 for the total of 12 cases. Good deal.

Does anyone here now of a good Lg G3 bumper case? I mean only the bumper part, not the back plate, kind of like the bumper Google previously sold for the nexus 4.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a link to a thread on that bumper. It comes from China so it might take a few weeks to get. I'm waiting on mine.

I bought the Sonivo fusion bumper for my Xperia Z2 and it works a treat so I automatically jumped at getting another for the G3.

It's probably my favourite style of case and I have been through quite a few.
Not sure why they call that a bumper case. lol

I think someone said that bumper scratched the phone. Just letting ya know. I was going to buy but didn't want to take a chance.
This one is different from mine, with the sliding closure, seems safer
I got a Love Mei metal bumper, with the clasp.
Fit fine over a dBrand backing and didn't even hit the Zagg on the front. However, my cell reception was awful. (Fixed as soon as I took the bumper off.)
So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.
http://www.amazon.com/TSCASE-Genuin...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
