Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it man.

Case wise, I was looking to get this - http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Matte-Flexible-Sprint-T-Mobile/dp/B00FEQ429U and I already have matte screen protectors. I have skimmed this sub plenty and the diztronic both looks good and is raved about here.

Okay, I figured it was the loud minority kind of thing. I am super excited to get this phone! Coming from a GS3 to a Moto G, I want a big screen. My gf has a G2 and I am always messing with it. I gave her Cloudy G3 and she loves it and so do I. I want to give mahdi a chance just because of how I love the aosp lock screen and overall aosp look. Next paycheck man, pouncing on it!

Where would you look to buy one? I have been watching swappa and eBay for a d801 variant. Looks like $250-270 would be ideal a good price, would you agree?

Again, thanks for the feedback!

who likes good news? everyone!

there is a "Verizon Cases Unite" thread over on XDA with lots of pictures!

i personally have/use the Incipio DualPro -- it is cheaper on Amazon

Previously, i have used the PureGear SlimShell -- at one point you could use the coupon code "PURE50" to get 50% off but i am not sure if it is still active?

my phone also came with an Incipio Feather case which although offering basically no protection it does make the back pretty flat

if you just want something to make the back of the phone look a little better/be less slippery the best bet is probably the Feather if you want protection along the line of the Otterbox Commuter series, your best bet is the DualPro and if you want something that is a little between the two you can go with the SlimShell

let me know if you have any questions, i will be glad to answer them!

Diztronic TPU Case Seriously, this is awesome. Low profile, fits perfectly, slides in and out of your pocket easily and comfortably, feels good, and still offers good protection. I dropped my phone down the stairs at my school the other day and its still crack free. :)

This is the exact item I ordered (remember, mine is a Verizon):

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Screen-Digitizer-Assembly-Optimus/dp/B00HSE6A7S

I ordered both from the same place, as it was the only company offering Prime shipping at the time. Since it was shipped by Amazon, I figured I would take the chance as the return process is easy.

I recommend you also order the 1mm tape, and take pics of the installation process, focusing on all the connectors/grommets.

Good luck, and don't hesitate to post if you need help.

I have the Diztronic TPU case right now. While it looks and feels great, I'm not sure it will absorb the impact of a fall as well as silicone does. I prefer silicone despite it's drawbacks because I'll take function over form when it comes to safety.

But plenty of people are happy with TPU because it's a fair compromise between hard plastic and soft silicone. It really comes down to what you prefer.

Screen Replacement kits - They're all basically the same part.

Here's the video I used to replace my screen. Just a couple weeks ago. Works great.

Here's the Insipio case for the VS980 Verizon version of the phone. Just purchased it. I LOVE it so far.

pro tip - Don't tighten the screws any more than an extra quarter turn past finger tight when reassembling the phone after new repair. Learn from my mistakes. They really don't need to be tight.

http://www.amazon.com/Trident-Case-Aegis-Optimus-Packaging/dp/B00EVBHQE2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1427069692&sr=8-1&keywords=g2+trident 10 bucks.. Plus it has a Lanyard attachment point :) I've dropped it on hardward floors many times and it survives my 1 year old walking around with it. has OK built in touchscreen protector. My only grips are pain to open (not tthat big of a deal) and when face down on a desk, the plastic front is slippery verse my S4 defender case (work phone).

TLDR: Good cheap case with corner bumpers.

[Trident Case Cyclops Series Case for LG G2] (http://www.amazon.com/Trident-Case-CY-LG-G2-BLU-Cyclops-Optimus/dp/B00EVBJ8YI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1394708943&sr=8-4&keywords=aegis+cyclops+lg+g2) I'm not sure which carrier you have but it does work with VS980. It has a built in screen protector as well. Wish I had known that before I bought the Skinomi for it also.

The 3rd one looks the best but I'd recommend the Diztronic TPU Case, which is what I have on my phone. Here are some pictures, not mine though as I have the Verizon model.

Uh, no. I'll look it up for you thought. Give me a few minutes.

Is this okay? EDIT: USE THIS

Ill link more. One sec.

Another. IGNORE

Note: This is all based off of searches made right now. I don't know of they are the best. I'll keep looking.

People say iLoome is best. Use that.

Final edit: This is a list of screen protectors. See what people say and make a decision from that.

Hands down the best damn charger ..only 5.95 with amazon prime..I got like 5 of these one at home..at work and other places.

The Incipio dualpro cases are great. I had one for my galaxy nexus in the past, and now I've had one since December for my g2. It strikes a good balance between being slim and providing medium protection from a fall.

After reading several reviews hating on the finish, I decided that I would HAVE to have a case from the start. I ordered whatever was available from AT&T at the time, which was the Body Glove Silver Icon Hybrid 2 gel/shell pack. This case stinks. It's a gel + plastic shell design, but the shell is in two pieces, so it can't snug itself around all 4 sides of the case. After a week of use, it started to just slide off the phone whenever I put it in my pocket.

I ordered a Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case from Amazon, should be here soon. It doesn't look that awesome, but it was cheap.

FWIW, I like my AT&T LG G2 just fine without a case. I actually really like the back of the thing. My fingers find plenty of friction there, so I don't always have to support the phone with a finger underneath, which I usually did have to do with my Galaxy Nexus. Edge gestures are a bit of a PITA with a case on it, too.

I have an Incipio Dual Pro and I love it. When you shop for cases though, remember that the Verizon variant (VS980) requires a different case from all the other variants, because of their back buttons. I noticed while shopping this difference causes limitations to how many VS980 compatible cases are available.

The mini is 350€ on the german amazon, but for 7€ more you'll have the proper G2 lol

Iloome. If I have it mounted in my car, on a sunny day, then the halo will appear. That said, for the (3 weeks?) I've had it on - I can just smooth the halo away.

Any other time and it's fine - it's just in that situation, that a (thus far) temporary halo forms.

I literally just got that exact one delivered today too. It 's charged 1% in about 7 minutes (approx). That is using the original LG charger plug from the G2 which is rated at 1.8 amps whereas this wireless charger is asking for 2.0 amps (all 5v). I just ordered 2 of these to give it the right charge ($3.86 free shipping):

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charger-Detachable-Smartphones-Packaging/dp/B00BD6XTDK/ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29CYY32JTO5EW

Technically. This page says the G2 supports MHL adapters such as this one, which will output the device's audio and video over the microusb port to HDMI

Using such an adapter to connect your phone to an HDMI receiver will get you 100% digital audio, as well as, of course, the display.

I know it would still be wired to the tv, but you could try something like this Micro USB to HDMI

I like and own:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FEQ429U/ref=pd_aw_sbs_2?pi=AC_SX230_QL60

The first one is very protective without adding too much bulk. The second is very slim and is my 'daily driver'.

I want to get this:
http://www.amazon.com/Trident-Case-AG-LG-G2-RED-Series-Optimus/dp/B00EVBHQE2/

Unfortunately it doesn't ship for 3 to 4 weeks. I'd probably go with the black one. Looks like it should work for all models including Verizon.

This is what I used to replace my Verizon LG G2's screen. I would recommend buying some adhesive tape made specifically to be used with phones since I just used some random double sided tape and my screen had a gap which caused my phone to randomly sense me touching multiple points on the screen.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00HSE6A7S/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416863574&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

That's the one I ordered, I had a sprint variant btw, and also the pink thing is the tape but I would order more tape just incase you mess up, also be care full when you take out the digitizer from the plastic cover

Silicone sucks, very sticky, gets full of lint, hard to take out of pockets.

I bought this case, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FEQ429U/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_fN3ftb0A3SFBR. And it's amazing

That's going to depend on your G2 version. For the VS980 I really like my Incipio Dual Pro, but the Verizon (VS980) has slightly different dimensions than most G2's (I think the rest of the models are compatible with the AT&T D800 as far as physical dimensions for cases).

I have tried a bunch this is the only one that fits. You have to be extremely carefully when applying it because it is the exact width of the screen so if you are off even a little it will be noticeable.

nope

Diztronic TPU case

Incipio

Does it happen to be the incipio dual pro?

I think it has something to do with the way the rubber around the bottom is formed. I think when the phone is in the right position it keeps sound from making it to the mic.

Sounds like a hardware problem. Might be the battery or PSU. Take it back to the vendor, or try replacing the batt yourself: http://www.amazon.com/Original-3000mAH-Internal-Replacement-LG/dp/B00GZGX8GG

Get a minimalist case. Look for one that doesn't attract dust or fingerprints. If i had to rec one, I'd suggest this.

http://www.amazon.com/Original-3000mAH-Internal-Replacement-LG/dp/B00GZGX8GG

Here ya go. New original battery $12 shipped. The only real way to fix it...

Note:I've done all the tricks and tweaks (greenify, ART, dorimanx, underclocking, task managers, amplify) and none of them make much of a difference. At least not in cloudyg3 2.1. I really have no clue as how people get the crazy 6 - 7hour sot

I think it mostly comes down to what temperature you average at. I guess I'm a power user cuz I average higher temps from using things like tethering and torrenting so it will be normal for my cpu to stay at about 67c (150+Fahrenheit) under load

I've been using one of these for almost a year with no issues whatsoever. That paired with a TPU case is solid protection overall in my opinion and personal experience.

I just bought a KMASHI 11200mah. It's on sale for $20 and I feel like that's a steal.

My touchscreen won't work after replacing my screen

I had my screen replaced one month ago, but it cracked out of the blue just one week ago. So, I ordered this screen and installed it myself today. However, I had not been able to get the touchscreen to work. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot this issue, or did I just order a faulty part?

Marathon runner... I have an arkon armband.cannot find the exact model but this one looks close.

I also use jaybird blue tooth headphones which I cannot give enough praise.

This is what I'm talking about, it allows you to use a flash drive with your phone. The problem is if you don't have one or know someone that does, then it won't help you much immediately.
