[VIDEO] Cheap TPU Case for the AT&T Optimus G Pro - LG Optimus G Pro

This is probably about as cheap as cases come price wise. You'll find this case on eBay and little boutiques probably everywhere you go. Don't spend over 20 bucks for it locally, because you just don't have to. I snagged 10 of these up for practically next to nothing. I will be keeping 1. However....
Once this video hits 1,000 views I'll be sending out 4 cases. The other 5 will go out after 2,000. Just watch and at the end I explain it all.
Also in the video is my explanation of how to fix the buttons. I've had to do this with numerous TPU cases and some counterfeit cases on the market.

Boxwave Accessories now released for 10.1

http://www.boxwave.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-p7510-accessories/bwdd/zzzk
I have been buying BoxWave ClearTouch Crystal screen protectors for all of my devices for years, and they are PERFECT.
No solutions, no bubbles, 100% clear, you can clean and re-use them, they are static-cling, they fit perfect, very scratch resistant, etc..
I have these on my Canon 5D MkII camera, my Droid X, and other things.
My Droid X has had the same one on for over a year now when I first got it and it is in near-perfect condition. No I am not a salesperson for BoxWave lol.
Although there are some accessories out now for the 10.1, the screen protectors are not yet. I emailed them and they said they will be soon though.
That FlexSuit case looks cool but I think it's similar to those really cheap ones on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200624247046&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I doubt it's the same. I am sure the BoxWave one is better quality and that the design is slightly different as they usually have higher-quality products. Similar though, yes...
Didn't see it anywhere on the site but do you know if they make screen protectors for it. If you say they are good and aren't to crazy on price, i'd be interested in picking one up.

Yeah they said it will be released soon. Ill be gettin one.
I just bought the armor suit in the mean time. When you get it post a review up on how you like. I'd like to know how it looks and feels.
Since all of the information here has helped me out substantially since receiving my tablet, I wanted to let everyone know what is happening with Boxwave.
I ordered "FlexSuit , Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 P7510, Smoke Grey - Qty: 2" for the I/O model (for a colleague and myself). The package took several days to ship and about 3 weeks to arrive in Vancouver, Canada. The package contained 2 x smoke flexsuits for the Xoom. Upon notifying Boxwave, I was told that it would be corrected soon by cross ship and Boxwave would reimburse me up to $5 USD since I would have to pay for the Xoom cases to be returned. I told them it was unlikely I could return these items for that little from Vancouver, and requested that they send a preauthorized envelope. The support person got back to me a couple of days later letting me know that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 flexsuits had been discontinued and that was the source of the confusion, and said preauthorized shipping from Canada was not a possibility. They could now authorize more than $5 for the shipment.
Anyway, I will have to return the shipment out of my own pocket to have any chance of a refund.
Does anyone know if the antiglare screen protector dulls the screen's color or output? I have the Invisible Shield, but has its corners messed up from the media dock. It also seems to pick up little "dimples" over time. For some reason, my Evo 4G kept getting the same dimples over time and done know what causes it.

Retail tpu cases

Has anyone seen tpu cases at a local retail store? I was thinking about checking those kiosks you see in the malls that sell cheap "stuff". I noticed previously that they rarely carry accessories for new phones besides the iPhone. Any heads up would be appreciated. I could get on Ebay or Amazon but Ebay, you don't know what you're getting because sometimes pictures are poor quality. An issue I have is I really need usps for shipping because of my residence and nobody being home when the other companies delivery trucks show up. Suggestions are welcome.
Ebay is going to be the cheapest but I wouldn't buy from anyone who isn't in the states or if the pics are fuzzy just keep it moving. There is someone on Ebay that uses usps but double check the shipping info. Also you can just buy it straight from their site for like $8 plus shipping. I haven't seen any of the TPU cases other than Ebay, amazon or their site directly myself.
I got mine from tpu-cases.com I've had it for 7 months and its been great. I drop my phone all the time.

Which would you think would be less likely to slip out of your hand, gloss or matte?
I have a gloss for my ns4g and it feels decent. The inside of the case is matte and it feels slightly more slippery.
I have both the gloss and matte mentioned from the site above and I find the gloss to be less slippery. Also, he delivers usps so you shouldn't have an issue there

Brick and mortar stores that carry accessories?

I know this should probably go in question and answers but it pertains specifically to accessories so I'm posting it here. Is there anyone nationwide that actually sells cellphone cases and whatnot anymore? Other than Verizon stores small selection (even at flagship stores), I can't seem to find anywhere that actually carries more than one or two cases for this phone or any cell for that matter other than iPhone crap. I love online prices but I've probably wasted almost 100 bucks on cases for this phone because I can't actually see or try them before I buy. I happen to have the GSM with extended battery but ran into the same problems with the non extended GSM I bought for my wife and also when shopping for cases for my dads Verizon model. It is extremely frustrating. Most cases don't fit properly or peel screen protectors when installing or removing. I'm not blaming case makers for this even, but it seems like such a shame that you have to go online and roll the dice for everything nowadays. I buy lots online so I'm not pining for the good old days or anything like that but some stuff you want to see and feel before you buy. Buying most of these online means you waste lots on shipping to return to the point where going through the hassle isn't worth it.
Are any national retailers carrying this phones accessories? I'm willing to pay a bit more to get something that actually works for me.

The only major retailer I can think of, that we have in common, that carries stuff here is Best Buy. They have ~6 case options: Casemate, Otterbox (both versions), Incipio (a couple of versions), +. I can't imagine there being less of a selection at BB in the US.
I've tried a few, and I'm picky, I ended up ordering the Cruzerlite Androidify; very happy with fit, feel, size, etc... The Incipio Feather and Casemate Barely There left me underwhelmed; they can't seem to get the fit right for devices that have curves.
Thanks for the reply. I have 2 cruzer lite cases. One is smoked which I kept, and gave the clear Andy version to my dad with his new lte extended battery. They are nice but tpu cases aren't my favorite. I'm using an sgp Neo hybrid right now and its alright but has a bit of a gap around the camera hole on the extended GSM battery model. I'm looking to find a case that has a little more protection for travel. The case mate tough does not fit for extended and my wife's non extended causes the protector to peel.

Bestbuy / Sprint Accessories stock

does anyone know if bestbuy or sprint has release nexus 5 cases in store? i called both and they said not yet or sold out.
I haven't seen any in my area. Even if they did sell some accessories, it would be like any other Android accessories sold at BestBuy... 4,000 iPhone cases, and 2 Android cases per model.
I wouldn't recommend paying for anything from them before doing a bit of research.
For example; I had a Seidio Active case for my HTC One, I got it online for $20. BestBuy had the same case (without the silicone insert) for $35... same kickstand, same cutouts, the exact same case minus the "SEIDIO" across the back.
I went to best buy and they didn't have anything for the nexus 5. T-Mobile did however. They had a tpu case in black or blue. I tried it, it was good. Just wasn't worth 25$ IMO. They were made by tmobile also. T-Mobile also had the Zagg screen protector for 30$. Way overpriced, but it was a must to protect my screen asap, so I bought it. It also comes with a back film for some reason. I did not apply that. Seems silly. I love the way the back feels. But I also love the way the screen feels naked too bad I need protection.

Looking for case

Hey guys, a friend of mine just got his nexus 5 and he's looking for a case that will fit well with generic glass screen protector, something at about 15-20 dollars from eBay. Thank you and merry Christmas for those who celebrate.
$10 Ringke Hybrid case has been serving me well. Shows off the back of the phone and won't interfere with any SP.

As its quite long since the launch of N5 and after going through so many cases I would suggest you this shellster beltclip/kickstand case for your Nexus 5...as personally I own this case and m really impressed with the quality and comfort of this case...it allows you to have a very fine grip on the phone...and make your phone safe too...

Here ya go, I'll pimp my own thread hahah. I did a few reviews for ridiculously cheap/good deal ebay cases (all have a bunch of pictures). This is if you're into hardcases anyway. If you want softer cases (TPU/Rubber/Gel) meant for drop protection then these ones probably aren't up your alley. They will all work with screen protectors though.
Out of all of them, I recommend the Quicksand cases!!. They've sold so well though that the price has since increased to $1.99 with free shipping.
