So, after wanting to try a wrap for so long, and seeing how it doesn't exactly provide the ultimate protection that I wanted for my G3, I combined a few elements to come up with a setup that works perfectly for me and looks nice at the same time. First, I got the Tech Armor Ultraclear Ballistic Glass screen protector. It fits perfectly, I still get maximum input, and barely notice it's there.
Then, I got the Teak Wood wrap from Slickwraps. Finally, in order to protect the corners and sides, but still be able to appreciate the wrap, I got a bumper case from Nillkin. Love the combination and the bumper case is exactly what I was looking for, for a little added protection. The case is very snug, a perfect fit with all the right cutouts in place.

Looks pretty sweet and great idea with the wrap on back cover I like it and should protect against scratches, doesnt take away the nice design LG have done like a full cover would.
Another benefit would be more efficient wireless charging(if charging with case on and using stock LG wireless charger)since no bulky cover, looks to me like LG wireless charger would easily fit between that bumper, could be wrong though.
The Nillkin Bumper is working 100% with wireless charging (at least with the Nokia DT910)

Hello,
I'm looking for something like this case
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=290335512830

It has 2 parts ... one is kind of "cradle" and has clip and other is like a protective shell which you can "slip" into that cradle. I really like that design and the fact that you can "slip" your "shell" into "cradle" in 2 ways - screen facing outside (for better view) and screen facing inside (for more protection).
"Cradle" also has rotating belt-clip.
Unfortunately, when I ordered that case it had quality problem ... belt-clip is attached to "cradle" by PLASTIC connector, which breaks easily. So I'm in process of returning it.
But ... I REALLY like the design. Can somebody recommend me something like that but better quality ?
Hi bogdatov
I have the same case by Kroo. I like it alot...but do wish I could find something that works the same but more stylish like the cases on more-things.com. I'm going back and forth on rather I want to carry the phone on my belt or in pocket. Had mine for about 3 months now. No problem with belt clip but the leather on the corners of the snap-on case that rubs against the holster are fraying on all sides. Also inside "suede" covering in holster is peeling off. Use to have the ORBIT FLEX by Krussel. Pros and cons to each. Good luck!
How is slipping "shell" into "cradle" ? Mine seems to be pain to remove and insert - too tight
Slipping shell into the cradle with the screen facing in or protected works fine for me now. When I first got it, it took a while for it to "loosen up". I only have difficulty slipping the shell into the cradle if I try to slip it in with the screen facing out or unprotected. I also notice that the shell is not as "tactile" or "sticky" as it used to be. I find myself being more careful I don't drop it now-a-days.
I'll post photos later but if someone is looking for a good alternative to the otterbox defender I highly recommend this one. Yes it adds bulk, but I go on hikes and mountain biking frequently. The button presses are very responsive through the case! I really like the rubber flap over the camera and charging port. Fits nice and snug in the case!
It's $50 at BB. I think the main advantage is that the rubber does NOT collect lint like the otterbox case does. I'd highly recommend this as an alternative. Very pleased!
I also included photos of it compared to size of a naked bb 8330(work phone). With the case it's under a 1/4 inch thicker then the bb.

Nice pics, thanks for posting. I am waiting for the Ballistic or Kraken II, but from your description, it seems like the Seidio is a great option. I had the 1st line of them for the 1st gen Evo and they fell apart, I know they have since improved the design.
Nice review. As for the Otterbox collecting debri. After a couple months it will no longer do that, just FYI

I have this case and after about a month of it being on I decided to take it off to pull the battery and the hard case part scratched my evo3d. I love the case but I'm not very happy with some paint spots missing. Do they have a customer service number to call and complain. I noticed this a few days after my 30 day return period. Not happy.
I am looking for a actual leather case, like this one here:

I don't want a wallet type, or flip. I want a actual case, but it's very difficult to find such case, if there even is such option. Preferably a leather case that covers the volume rocker, since it can get scratched up.
Thanks,
Thomas
I have this one. Its not real leather but its very cheap and looks like leather. Great fit too...

Just got the real leather one from Ebay.
Made by TETDED
Excellent case. Slim and real leather. Feels great in the hand.
I was going to get the TETDED as well but the pictures show the top right corner exposed which I find odd.

I've just got the Roxfit Slimline Book Case from Amazon today, alas, no phone as yet! Its cheaper than the official Sony case, I paid £13.50, but is well made with a quality feel to it. Obviously I cant comment on fit or durability but Ive always had my phones in cases and this is one of the more premium feeling cases ive owned. Well worth the money based on its build quality.
Inside the front cover the material has a soft rubbery feel that grips onto the screen whilst closed to stop it moving around (roughly tested with my iphone 5 in the housing). The back of the case also folds away, similar to the official case so the phone can be placed in the charging dock. The outer material is similar to the apple iPad cover. The clear plastic shell that holds the phone has a thin foam layer in to absorb any shock and prevent any scratches on the rear glass panel.
I've still got a week wait for my phone before I can test it thoroughly.

I apologise for the size of the images and rotation!
So I decided to try out this new Incipio case called the Area. I went with the frosted version because it's a cool contrast for the black phone, although I like the case so much I might go and try out the black version of it as well!

So when I first got the case, it was a little beefier than I thought from the pictures on Amazon...but it's not a bad thing. The corners are reinforced so that it's definitely protective if it falls. I actually dropped it off my counter in the bathroom and it landed on the floor and protected it fine! (I never drop my phones, so I was lucky I had a beefier case on it this time!!)
The buttons are awesome! They aren't shaped like buttons, but rather, each button has a little raised mark of what it does. The sides of the case are completely flat, but once you're near a button, you feel the outline of it's shape. And on top of it, they're really easy to press, which is hard to find in a gel/tpu case like this.
The frost matte back feels cool, and all of the cutouts are shaped perfectly.
I've got the spigen screen protector on it that wraps around the curve of the device, and there's no issue with this case pulling it up on mine, so that's another plus.
All in all, this is an awesome case for the price.

This case isn't on Incipio website. I believe it's a bit of branding trickery. I ordered one anyways to check it out.
