So I saw the dot case in store on the display model, which we have all probably seen, However which the security device on the back side of the display models I was unable to notice this (see pictures) and I did not notice it in any of the reviews.
I really like the concept of the minimal 8bit lock screen which the dot case and further more the option to answer and make calls without opening is a great plus.
That said it's a shame I won't be using the case now that I have it. The lid does not close flush on the back when open which means the right hand must simple hold the phone and case preventing the right thumb from being able to be used to type / navigate on the screen. And if you were to not hold the lid flush against the back your left and can not maintain a firm grip on the phone because the lid is a tpu material which renders it a bit slippery.
This disappoints me because I really like the features it add.

you dont think it will soften up over time?
This has been mentioned in the Dot View review thread, Others have said it is nearly impossible to type with the cover folded back unless you are really pushing on it.
The case itself does not appear to provide much, if any protection to the back and sides. The Dot View look is cool but with the lack of protection and the flip cover not laying flat, I passed.

Same here after playing with it in store. More of a "cheap gimmick" case imo. Looks cool at night to show off to Ur friends but for any protection, day to day use, and the dot dirt it leaves on screen. Obviously not much thought went into this case outside of the "gimmicks."
Maybe if a soft see through cloth was on the inside of the lid so no dot dirt goes on device, lid actually was flexible to bend back and stay there, feel secure when closed, and had more protection then a cheap $5 knock off case, it would be well worth the $30 maybe $40 tops. Watch a cheap Chinese knock off becomes available on eBay in a few months with all these improvements and half the price, lol!

Lol, not much thought went into this case???? Ok. I think a lot of thought went into this case, and I think they did a excellent job on it! The case, is meant to use while on the go. Like driving, and at work. Hence the reason for the features it carries. It's not meant to text with it. Lol. Just saying. Everyone has their opinions though.

Not flaming, serious question.... Are you saying that you remove your case when texting or otherwise using your phone?
Imo a if your a case type of person wouldn't u want a case to leave on at all times?
I even like the display when the lid is on, in fact once we have write on the /system I fully intend on making it an optional lock screen when no security it being used.

I don't know about you guys but I ordered a couple of these perforated cases from FocalPrice:
http://www.focalprice.com/MSC91W/PerforatedMeshed_Back_Cover_Case_for_LG_P9902X_White.html
I've ordered a lot from them over the years, and I've gotta say I'm awaiting this case anxiously. I'll post back once I get them. For $1.69/case and free shipping you can't really go wrong.
I don't know... the picture that actually shows it on the phone, look at the bottom, it doesn't even fit on the phone at all.
When you get it, do post pictures and a review though.

I have a few of these I got off eBay and they work fine. If you want protection, than you may want something better. They are fine for keeping the phone slim feeling with a rubber coating on the case for grip. The coating does ware in time. But overall I swap to it every so often.

Thanks! Yeah I read you have to keep it clean. I'm not too worried about that as I take my case off everyday when I get home usually.
If anyone's wondering, I got the White, Black, and Red versions. So I'll post pics when I receive the package. Still hasn't shipped yet Damn slowness.
Curious to hear, thanks for testing.
Just received my cases today. I got black, white, and red. I'll post some pictures later.
What I've got to say about them?
1) They're perfectly sized, they fit the LG G2X like a glove. They're snug but easy to take off/put on.
2) They're just as bendable as my TPU case. I don't really think I could break it. I didn't really like the red, so I tried. Nothing doing.
3) Didn't really notice it getting dirty that fast. And I've been planing doors and redoing my house all day so I'm sure if it did get dirty that fast mine would be filthy by now.
Time will tell.
Cool, keep us updated. Thinking about buying one if they are good to go.
Opinions? The Android "guy" will be cut out so you'll see the "pretty" Nexus 4 back shining though. Be cutting one in a carbon fiber too. Hell...I have about 30 colors...may be kinda cool. Thoughts? Cost is very minimal to make them for myself so figure why not the small added protection for the back.
That is awesome.

I'm using a $4000 dollar vinyl cutting machine to make them. I have a side business doing professional banners, prints...etc etc. So I made my own template based off of a Hi-Res scan I made of the rear of the device. So my "stickers" are a perfect cut every single time.
Carbon Fiber one will go on tonight. I think this will really look nice. I will upload pics when I have them. Never thought about selling them. I could even personalize them...instead of the Android guy I could put your XDA user name, dogs name...wife's? :laugh:
But in all honesty, if you really are wanting these I would have no problem making them for you guys. I'm thinking maybe $4 including USPS shipping. Carbon would be a dollar more (material is really pricey).

Depends on the curves of the device. N$ is simple..its flat. Plus id need a scan of the rear of the device to I can create the template.
I got these case's in for review.
Everything from the box to the case it's self is absolutely top notch.
The box has evolved so much since I first purchased a cruzerlite case. It has a nice see thru Window that let's you see your case before you even touch it, and pulls out nicely to introduce you to your new case.
Enough about the packaging! The new bumper cases are frigging sweet. I have had so many cases for the s4 and I wish I would have seen these first. The offer very good protection and little to no bulk. In my opinion these bumper cases are how crapple should have made theres.
I have used this case all day today and can tell you all this its very slim and yet still adds a fair amount of protection. All of the buttons line up perfectly as expected, and there is even a good size lip on the front to protect your screen when laid face down. All in all guys and gals go purchase these if you like slim but trustworthy protection!!! You won't be disappointed !!!
Here is where to find them

So I'm a university student who has to commute to school everyday. I wanted to get a clear case that let's me show my month pass so I don't have to fumble around with my wallet. I tried looking at the malls but they were all for $10 or more.
I found this for 2 bucks: http://www.tmart.com/S-Pattern-Prot...Nexus-4-E960---Translucent-White_p195307.html
I received it in a week. The case was exactly like the one I saw in stores. The build is good, and there isn't really much to say about it other than that it serves my purpose well! Here are some pics:

I got the same but in black simply because I was fed up with the phone sliding off desks/shelves/toilet cisterns/the floor.
It's tough and easy to remove at night when I slot the phone into a charging cradle.
I'm so upset I wanted to share my sob story. I have had my G3 for 13 days now (pre-ordered and picked up on launch day) and I just cracked the screen. Only about one third of the screen is responsive so the device is almost useless now.
I put a Spigen Slim Armor case on it before even walking out of Best Buy with it so it has been "protected" from day one. Spigen's slogan for the G3 Slim Armor is "Absolute Drop Protection", but that's apparently not true here. They advertise that the corners have an "air cushion", but it fell on the corner. I bent over and it fell out of my shirt pocket literally 2 feet above the floor.
LG can't give me a repair estimate without sending it in. The guy on the LG Chat said probably $150 or so, but there's no guarantee on that amount. I've seen replacement glass on Amazon for $56.99 without the LCD screen and then Repairs Universe has the glass/LCD combo only. They said that it's near impossible to replace just the glass without the LCD and not mess it up. That combo costs $175.
Does anyone have any guidance or know how much it might cost through LG? Should I even attempt to repair it myself? Any advice would be great. I'll apologize in advance if I don't reply to posts right away. I'll be having trouble using the G3 at all. I'm going to get a sim card for my backup phone tomorrow and use that in the meantime.
I've seen in the past that lg has been fair on pricing. But never give an upfront cost. I'd just send mine in. Hate to hear that happened
Thanks for the reply. I may just send it in and eat the repair cost. I'm just disappointed in the whole situation.

put squaretrade insurance on it and have them fix it for $75
EBay has the combo for 146.

I've never used square trade and didn't think about that. Have you had good experiences with them?

I thought about that, but it would cost roughly the same for LG to fix it. That would save me the worry of attempting it myself and scrying it up even more. Although it can't be too hard.

I have the same case.. there is no cushion corners it's all pretty hard.. I'm looking for another with some more padding for the corners. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed with the corners. They advertise them as air cushion corners, but they are definitely just solid. I am also looking for a new case.

I've been wondering about those glass screen protectors and even more so now that I cracked my screen. It sounds like you are saying it has been worth it. Is that the brand with the warranty?

Yup I've already out it in to get a replacement. I've used their glass on my M8, S5, and now the G3. Love it

The zagg invisible shield glass is excellent. It feels like real glass too. I would not hesitate to pick one up.

Thanks for the second recommendation on ZAGG. I remember a few years ago avoiding ZAGG because their thick screen protectors had a bad orange peel effect. I'm glad to see that you guys are happy with their glass screen protectors. I prefer a good word from fellow XDA folks over the best buy sales reps.

they are fantastic, I insure all my electronics through them, and if you get emails from them, 3-4 times a month they will send you a code for 30-50% off a purchase with them. so it's cheap and great service

Good to know. Thanks for the info for sure. I signed up Friday actually so I'm not stressing so much about my G3 now.

I had a Spigen slim armor on my note 3 and I dropped it from about 5 ft a few times and it never hurt the phone. The case has some marks, but then again I always use tempered glass screen protectors. I think it was a fluke that your phone broke from that unless it landed in its face and something hit the screen. Good luck getting it fixed.

Ya it was probably more of the perfect drop to crack it. I was just so frustrated because it was the first drop.

Don't you get 14 days to return the phone or can't you because it's user neglect?
