Just figured I would start a Case thread on the VK815 LG X8.3
This is the new one from Verizon that Launched with the G4. The older 8.3 and newer X8.3 are about the same size but the speakers are in different locations.
LG 8.3 (1st gen)
216.8 x 126.5 x 8.3 mm
LG X8.3
216.7 x 126.5 x 8.6 mm
The dimensions are about the same, with the X8.3 being a .3mm (point 3 mm) thicker. Hardly noticeable. The X8.3 also comes with a stylus pen, which may be useless to most as it is just a regular stylus, not a smart pen.
If you don't care about pulling out the stylus, you can probably get away with a normal 8.3 case on the new X8.3. However if you want something specific here is what I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/IVSO-PAD-X8-3...1434139101&sr=1-46&keywords=LG+G+Pad+8.3+case
I have the Incipio Folio right now:
http://www.incipio.com/cases/tablet...ic-flip-cover-faraday-folio-lg-g-pad-x83.html
The Incipio looks great in the pictures and has a great feel... although the material wraps around both sides and a hard case... so it makes it very thick and heavy (very heavy). The extra length of the wrap makes it annoying to deal with while the tablet is open. I am almost temped to cut off most of the flap. Also the Incipio is not a smart case, although the LG's support the magnetic Screen On/Off. I am pretty upset that a big name like Incipio is missing this feature. For the heavy price tag, extra weight and thickness, and lack of smart wake... I would pass on the Incipio.
I will try the IVSO and report back. Looks like they ship from China through slow mail.
Here are the differences.

Thanks for the info!
I am seriously considering ordering one of these tablets, but it is very tough to find any information concerning them. I know it is a bit off-topic, but could I trouble you for a brief summary of your impressions of this device? I have the original GPad 8.3 wireless version still going strong thanks to root and CM 12.1, but would love to have the LTE feature. I am particularly interested in the speed of this new X version, and the screen quality.
Thanks much!
I never had an 8.3 but have a 7. Screen quality is kinda wasted on me. As long as its 1080 or above, its fine. I have too many tablets already to really test it. It is as thin as my nexus 7 2013, I just hate my incipio case for it I bought at Verizon so I hardly use it.
It seems fast. I haven't gamed on it but works without hiccup. It is rootable. With it being only on Verizon, it my not be that popular. Which means lack of devs and lack of a good community specifically working on it.
I bought it because it was $50 with the LG G4 that I wanted. It is a corporate account. I needed a tab for work. Been eyeballing the original 8.3, grabbed this cheap. I was pleasantly surprised by the FULL SIZED USB port and built in Stylus. It is a really good tablet to work with.
vzw exclusive gonna hurt dis
from cases, n oder special tings, dis "x" version of a very value rich tablet lookin thin, dang!n
non-folio case
For various reasons, I wanted a MUCH sturdier, non-folio case. My Verizon store had one. BIG, fugly, lotsa corner padding, and like an OtterBox Defender, right down to ripping out the chinxy plastic screen 'protection', replacing with a real tempered glass one. It's simply labeled 'Rugged Cover for LG G Pad X8.3'. The code on my receipt is 'LGVK815RCBLK'.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to write a quick review of a case I bought on eBay
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190823724544?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Fits all variants of the OG except for the AT&T OG (8MP camera)
Very good for $7 ($3.50 each) - I bought the black and blue.
Cutouts for camera / flash / speakers / ports well done.
Cut out for 3.55m jack more than enough to accommodate jacks with the big outer shell, if you know what I mean.
Case fits very well. No chance of falling out.
Installation was very easy.
The finish on the back feels good to the touch and rubbery side grips are good, much better than the nude slippery glass of the OG to hold now lol.
If you want a cheap case that covers the back & sides, this is the one to go to. Good for Aussies who are looking for a case!
Here's some pictures I took of it

Yeh I bought this case in a local mall close by to me.. Was surprised to see it considering the lack of cases available. Have had it on my G for the past few months and its been a treat.. Actually have dropped my phone twice with it on and its been perfect so far
My only gripe is that the elevated edges makes my screen get dirtier faster and makes it harder to clean.. Otherwise its a great case
Oooo I like the purple colour in the auction pics, but then they have a video of some silicon cases and they look ugly as and really transparent? Wonder if they would ship to NZ
im using the same case but a transparent 1 :laugh: got it FOC from the stall
L-01E
Do you guys think this could fit a Japanese-spec OG; an L-01E?
Would it rip into the sceen protector and cause bubbles like most of my other cases?
Nope.using this case since i bought the phone.i like it because it's protecting the silver frame.
Sent from LG E975 pwd by CarbonRom
Just got me a black and blue one, perfect, except the buttons are a bit touchy but you get that.
I've got this tpu case and it shows a smooth finish, the holes are really well done, but I fell the buttons a bit dull, I don't know how to explain. For example, I have some difficulty to take screenshots pressing the Vol Down and Power buttons at the same time. Power button is not so easy to use.
This case looks like to offer a very good protection to the phone. I hope I won't need to prove it...
@sianghung, From where did you buy the transparent case?

im from Malaysia, the stall gave it to me FOC.
I have the same case (black). I love it. Fits perfectly. Recently I accidentally dropped my phone on a concrete surface. If I was without a case, the glass or the metalic part were goners. But with this case it was fine. Just wiped the dust.

Hey, fellow Vancouverite here... Can you give me a hint where you found it locally? I know it's been a while since your post, but who knows... I have another case, but wouldn't mind getting this one, as this is exactly what I used for my SGS2, and I loved it. Thanks in advance!
I use this tpu case.
it offers good protection in falls, great price.
Just received my Elago M2 stand that I ordered from Amazon for $25. My Droid Maxx fits it great, with or without my Diztronic TPU case. It's one piece of solid aluminum, with rubberized feet on the bottom of the base and also in the support brackets. It comes in black or silver. I chose the black version to match the Maxx.
The great thing about this stand is that it has space between the support brackets to allow access to the micro-USB port for charging. It has holes in the back of the base for cable management as well. Overall, it's a nice alternative to the more expensive charging dock for the Maxx that seems to be of lesser build quality and will have to be replaced when the next phone is purchased. This stand should work with any phone going forward.

Hey this is looking quite pretty...But as its mentioned on Amazon that its for iPhone so are you sure...it will go through with other phones easily without having any issue with grip....and all....??

That's why I made this post, since they don't mention other phones on the Amazon page. It works perfectly with my Maxx. There's room to spare for a larger case as well. In theory it should work great with any phone that has the charging port on the bottom, like the new Droids, the Moto X, or the Galaxy series. It would still work with a side-mounted charging port, just not as elegantly.
I opted for the TYLT VU, as I also get wireless charging on top of the desk stand. :victory:

I have a TYLT VU as well, which I use on my nightstand. I love it but at $70 each I can only afford one of them, hence the search for a cheaper option. Currently using $25 Elago M2s at work and home office, and TYLT VU on the nightstand (so I don't have to fumble around with plugs in the dark). Works great.
Hey guys,
I just received my MoKo case from Amazon and so far I am very happy with it. If you are considering purchasing this cover I do recommend it. Here is what I think so far. The texture to the cover has a very soft leather, almost microfiber feel over leather, but still a soft leather feel. I am telling you, it feels amazing. For as cheap as this case is, it does what it needs to, protects the case, lets you tilt it in landscape and lay it down upside down for an almost flat but more like 30 degree angle type view if looking down at it. It does not do a rotation portrait view if that is what your looking for. The faint white stitching around the case is a very welcomed and handsome look to the case which goes well together with the GN 10.1 2014 rear fake stitching as well. It fits snug, does not slide around, and protects the case very well. For this price, and it being available right now, I recommend it as my other cases I have ordered are not shipping until first week to last week of November. The magnets are strong too if anyone was wondering. The wake/sleep feature does work every time, no issues. I have heard talk about the magnets causing issues with the digitizer but it seems to be rumor and unconfirmed. So for now, I am happy with this. Hope this helps.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DE8RRYC/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
+1 I just got this case and I'm surprised at the quality for such a low price. I'll be getting another one in a different color when available
Glad you like this case, but a lot of us think the leather covering the bezel makes it look cheap. After a few days, you might find your tab starting to sag in cases of this style.

Doesn't the second one (also a Moko) look much better?
... or this Poetic?

Doesn't that case cover the S-Pen slot in the picture? Granted the pictues might be of a Tab 3, but still. They also call the tablet N8200, which isn't a number I've ever seen in relation to the Note 10.1 '14.

It does in the picture, it also is missing the SD card slot, so I'm assuming it's a bad photoshop job. I've ordered the case, and will report back once I get it.
Well I do think those look slightly better but so far I really don't mind it and the extra protection makes me feel a whole lot better than I would have on those others
I did purchase the poetic you listed and 2 others awaiting to be available. I will use all of the cases for different purposes.
I looked at both of those cases too. Ultimately I went with the cheaper one because, for some reason, Amazon had it for $0.01 (including Prime delivery). I'll take cheaper looking for a penny.

Any chance you could post a short review of each ? Pros & cons, experiences etc
Hi guyz, just discovered that amazing G4 leather brown case! As both our device and the G4 will be similar in terms of form-factor, do you think the case will be compatible with our device? If not, is there a way to buy similar cases for our devices?(not the crappy leather cases easily findable on amazon )

Something like this ? or...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PIERRE-CARD...Domain_0&var=630596530331&hash=item541c37867f
it's a leather back cover... would be great to have on the g3
They are not compatible. Look at the camera lens on G4, it's a bit larger. And from some what i've seen so far on the web(if the leeks are legit), even the back cover seems to be a little curved on G4. Also the back cover clips could be in different places.

Pretty sure I saw 2 on Amazon a few months ago
Edit : Nvm seems like it's a case but it barely adds any bulk :x
I think they will be on ebay as soon as the G4 is released. There are already metal battery backs on ebay so i assume there will be leather backs in the future.
it will not work, because the g4 will be a little bit bigger
G3 - 146.3 x 74.6 x 8.9 Millimeter
G4 - 149.1 x 75.3 x 8.9 Millimeter
if the leaks are right....

Yep, that's not leather. It's rugged plastic. It's a LG case (not a battery cover). I have one in black.
Well maybe they make a leather back since g4 is out . I bought one in black too (case) and i am satisfied.

Do you have a name / model number / link for this case please!
Never mind, saw that it doesn't have a lip so it won't protect the front side at all
Looking for a case like this (very small, not adding much bulk) but which will also protect the front glass when laid down.

Okay so this is a BIG phone and average sized hands for a 5'8 American and I have to say my cousins note 8. (Used cause it's basically exact same specs as the 7pro) just does not feel safe in to hand for everyday one handed use. I walked around her house post few days typing, using Swype and just browsing the web. Seems that I truly don't like that lark pop socket she has on her case. Clearly not worried about blocking QI charging so wondering what other options people have used and enjoyed our are using/planning to use with their OP 7pro?
I'm personally going for this.

I thought about that but again the text makes it look cheap along with the fact of no photo reviews and the case photos look fake none with actual device in them. Also no mention of front lip being raised enough to protect the curved screen. But I did see this last night. I love poetic and slogan cases so looking for good alt to pop socket for some thing along those lines.
Been using a slim finger strap with my lg g6 lately to test but it's not quick or easy enough to actually get finger under so I don't care for it.
I use this ring. Been using the same one for a year and no issues so far.

I've been using Loopy loops on my cases since my Pixel 2XL (then 3XL and now OnePlus 7 Pro). They make a case specifically for the loops, but I figured out if you just drill holes in the back of your case, the loops work just fine. The only downsides: the phone can no longer lay flat, and the back of the case bulges a tiny amount (honestly barely noticeable) but that doesn't bug me at all, I still prefer it over a popsocket or other hard attachment.

For example this is using the factory OnePlus 7 Pro case:

I'm using a Ringke Fusion X and a T-Mobile Pop Socket just fine with it. Also adheres extremely well with the included stock TPU case that comes with the phone.

It's interesting to hear a real world review of this lasting over a year. I've read so many reviews of Rings, even this one and everyone says they fall apart after a few weeks, so I never know which reviews to believe.

Yep, I had this on my Note 8, then Note 9, now my OP. Using the same adhesive too, the included 3M adhesive is insanely strong and long lasting it seems (at least when taking it off plastic cases), just don't pry it off too quick or it stretches/warps it. The hinge probably isn't as stiff as when I first got it but it still pretty good and does it's job.
I typically use it as a landscape stand. It can't really do portrait stand for any of the phones I've had because they are all big and heavy. It probably can be done but you would have to place the ring closer to the bottom or top of the phone, but then it would be awkward to use when you put a finger through to hold/grip the phone.
