Any leather cases? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I mean genuine leather cases. Not pouches. Not skins. Not fake leather. Are there any real leather cases available for this phone? Preferably not a flip cover. I've scoured the internet, and all I could find were mentions of LG's premium hard case that I can't actually find anywhere, and I don't even think it's real leather.

I haven't seen one, been case hunting for a couple of days now.

Tetded has some. http://www.tetded.com/home/en/g3-d8...for-lg-g3-d850-d855-4g-lte-caen-lc-black.html

Ah yes, I forgot about these. They look very nice. If the floppy cover is your thing these look like the best. I'm hunting an oem slim guard myself.

That's pretty much what I'm looking for. That one doesn't come in cognac though and I'm not sure if I like the texture... But I'm probably going to try it out anyway. Do you have it, and if so, can you give a quick review of it?

Here is an entire thread about the tetded.

Best LG G3 Quick Circle Case

Bugatti seems to have some nice ones for the G3, too....
Don't know about availability in US, though.
I am currently having a closer look at the "Oslo" version, looks pretty nice !

Kickstand-style case?

Anybody seen one of these somewhere? A case wish a kickstand in the back, like the one built into the Evo4G. I'd love one of these to watch video on my Vibrant without having to hold it.
I've seen a leather Zenus bar style case with a kickstand in Korea. You can only buy it via Gmarket for now. That's the only one I've seen so far. I would be surprised if Bodyglove didn't come out with one since they usually always have some type of kickstand case available from what I've seen.

Scroll down, it's below the pink case.
Personally I will not use anything other than body glove on my phones. I had one of their cases on my nexus 1, it survived a crash onto blacktop at about 30 miles per hour, but didn't survive the drop into the pool..

How do i buy the kickstand one from Gmarket? Not all text is translated to english
There are a few sellers on eBay that actually have that Zenus kickstand case now, but at a steep price- around $43 shipped Still contemplating though, because it does look pretty cool...
I'm new so I can't post links, but just search for "Zenus Samsung Galaxy S Leather" and you'll find a few of them.

Thanks for the info! Yup too expensive at $34... Will wait it out i guess. But I really like the bright orange and black combo.. Hope the leather quality is as good as it looks.

Super Slim Cases

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline.../ref=sr_1_134?ie=UTF8&qid=1321528707&sr=8-134
http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!
Do you have the link to the ebay one?
Ebay Link;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Black-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2c60b78dc9
Im also going to try one of the following; http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-rainbow-silicone-soft-case-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1397.html
Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?
Cheers

Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

Case-Mate has released a T989 Barely There Case

Just FYI
**UPDATE**
I know not many of you are into the minimal protection/"Flare" cases, so there's another way you can contribute to Case-mate extending the T989 case lineup. Goto Case-mate's Facebook page and click on the Feedback link on the left column. Search for T989 Cases and vote for it. Obviously, you can see where I'm getting at. If we can get enough votes, it would convince Case-mate to extend the lineup.
If you use the promo code "fblike20". You can get it for $20 shipped.

So I go to the case-mate website, I see casemate selling a cool ass Marvel comics cases for Iphone 4/4s and I search for the t-mo case and I see this crap case! I want a god damn Iron Man Case.
too bad it only comes in the boring black color, otherwise i'd try one.
On the site it does say it comes in metallic silver but its not listed yet. I will be picking that one up when it is released.
looks no different from the incipio feather cases except incipio offers more colors
People were reporting fitting problems with the Incipio case though.
Looks very similar to the diztronic amazon case....
Thanks for the heads up, been wanting another case to keep in my rotation... a pity only black atm

Im very happy with my Incipio case and the fitting is perfect .. But i'll try this one aswell too see the difference.
Dang, how come the T989 has the least cases
Welp, thanks, but I dislike snap on cases. They don't look that great to be honest.
Yeah, I was hoping for a POP! case but it's obvious Case-mate doesn't see much promise in the T989 and wanted to test the waters. Hopefully spreading the word would result in enough purchases for them to release more colors or more cases x(>.<)x

Are you kidding? How does a slim form fitting case look worse than those thick wrap around cases?

It just looks weird to be honest, dislike the open parts like the top and bottom.
Doesn't really provide protection from drops...
I LOVE the D30 case. It doesn't really add any bulk, I think it makes it more comfortable in my hands and it definitely provides the added protection.
It's either no protection and a naked phone or if I was going to use a case I'd use something that actually provided protection.
Just my .02 cents. We all have different opinions, no hate.

Best protective case?

I would get the otterbox defender but it does not look like it will be purchasable any time soon.
Having a kickstand would be a plus but.. the most important thing is if it can protect a phone from falls very well. I don't want a broken phone.
Edit: This looks like everything I want but I can't find a place to buy it.
http://www.iworldaustralia.com.au/i...3/Trident-Kraken-AMS-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S-III
I have heard a lot good about this.
Bought it myself, just no phone to test it in.
Diztronic TPU cases are also supposedly good, but probably not what you are looking for.
Might be too bulky but similar to the OP's request: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLK-BLUE-IM...316912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a76262e70
Same one in black: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Kicks...018974?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231e77bcde

That doesn't look like their Kraken case. Is is the case that you put under it and you upgrade or something?

That phone looks more like the Otterbox Commuter, no built in screen protector :/ I would really prefer that but I might go with that for a temp case.

I guess there no bumper case in the market
I'm looking for a bumper case to show off my skin as well, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. I'm going to keep looking around online, but if anyone knows where to get a bumper case like this, please share!
Settled on this one because no major manufacturers have put one out for the device yet.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm ​happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:
Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X...G5PLS-O-BK&dpPl=1&dpID=51wzgi0Kk2L&ref=plSrch
Yeah not a bumper case but since I replied to this thread I figured it was the best place to whine about it.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.
i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.
I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).
