I find the phone very slippy particularly when trying to press the buttons on the sides.
I'm about to order a cheap silicone case from ebay to see if that helps but these tend to add quite a bit of size to the devices which is never welcome to such a big device.
Does anyone know of any stick on protection that will offer a bit more purchase? Does the Zagg invisible shield help in that matter?
The phone fell from me about three times on asphalt... the phone screen didn't scratch yet for me the damage was absorbed by the silver coat framing. Till now its very micro and small.. I tried to find a leather casing for the phone.. but with no luck in my area.

Ebay in the UK are listing leather cases if that helps.
I ordered one of these, should get it in a few days and hopefully will be a bit grippier (is that a real word?)

Where'd you order from? Looks good.
I too would be interested to know where that case is from.

Maybe he bought a piece of film like he said in his first and the third post?
http://www.carbonfibergear.com/direct/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl
That might make it easier for you.
I did this with black carbon. Had it on for about a week and took it off. It kinda reminded me of one of those coffee carabiners.
it stays on very well to my surprise thought it would have peeled on the edges by now
ok everyone im thinking about buying a case for my phone and came across 2 that look pretty good and just wanted other opinions on them
first up is a body glove case for 7.99 and free shipping

next is a Desk Mate Leather Case for 9.95 and free shipping
i know body glove is a good one but the desk mate looks like it would offer more protection...
please let me know what yall think
Thanks
Personally, I prefer Desk Mate model. Another one seems huge and a little ugly.
yea i agree thats what im gonna get
Thanks
Desk mate looks classy, I've been thinking about getting a case myself and at 10 bucks I'm going to get that one for myself.
I dont have the body glove, but a similar chinese knock-off from ebay. A note about those cases.. they do offer a good tight protection without much more thickness and weight to the device, but I find it awkward to use the slider on sense roms with that case. Its always a little difficult to slide to the home or settings tab because typically your thumb slides right off the side of the screen. While the ridge on the side of the case prevents your thumb from doing this.
I like the design of the deskmate as opposed to other leather cases, but Ive never been a fan of leather cases in general, a little too bulky for my taste. (I put my phone in my pocket, not on my belt).
I personally would suggest the bodyguardz or invisible skin protection. It doesn't add another inch bulk on the phone and it keeps the look of the phone.
very nice collection,
i like the desk stand cover
Did your gt540 come with a screen protector?
Mine is scratched to death!

I have a zagg protection on my phone, so scratches is not a problem
I will google that
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I've made one myselfx, it's very easy. Just measure the screen, cut a clear transparent plastic and apply with a few drops of water with dish soap, then use a credit card to remove the air bubbles. Very very easy, cheap and effective. I don't even notice there is a layer of protective film on my screen

hi all,
only got my optimus the other day, but it does come with a very snug fitting screen protector, if u never took one off when you bought it chances are its still there.
have a pick around the buttons and see if you can lift a corner of the shield.
hope this helps
I've dropped my phone a few times and doing so messed up the chrome bezzel pretty badly. I didn't take before photos like I should have but I couldn't stand looking at it anymore. I had bought a carbon fiber vinyl to wrap my GearS Watch Band with. It was a decent size sheet and I have more left but after I did the watch band I decided to wrap my phone battery cover. Thats when I decided to do the bezel as well. Took a bit of time and was tedious but it looks great and I wanted to share with everyone. Maybe this could be an idea for others. Used an Xacto Knife and a Hair Drier.

It looks ugly
The phone looks ugly in this wrapping. Better re-paint the bezel (if possible) lol !
I have never used any cover for phone. I use my S5 carefully and it's bezel perfectly fine. And I have been using S5 for 15 months now
everyone is entitled to their own opinion, I've had mine since June but have dropped it quite a few times (guess I'm careless) I love the way it looks and everyone around me that has seen it ip has me liked it. I thought about buying a new bezel but it would be to much to take the phone apart and I had the extra vinyl laying around. Although it would be cool to do because I'd like to swap the Nav Menu LEDs from white to red.
It looks awesome in the carbon fibre wrap [emoji1]

Thanks a lot Stachura! Im really loving it. Have been not using my cases lol
I just opened and setup my V20, I was super careful with it. I only had it rest on something soft while I was getting the sim activated and until I put the case on. Well, it seems to be something like a shiny spot on the camera rim. At first I thought it was a reflection, but is a blemish. I am torn, should I take it back (BestBuy) or live with it. It sucks to have that out of the box.
Here is a pic:

It is to the outer side of that on the chrome rim. I cannot feel the spot nor clean it away.
looking athe photo, it seems like the outer rim, and not the protector.
Anyway I got it replaced so all is good.
I need to take you along with me next time I buy a new truck!!
