So, I'm thinking of getting some stuff for my LG G4.

I'm thinking of getting an extra wallwart that supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0, a tripod (the LG G4 has a wonderful camera, and I take pictures with it quite often, so a tripod for stable, noise-free low-light shots is a must) and a rubberized bumper case to protect it from drops while keeping the leather back exposed to feel. Note that I usually change my phone's battery every 3 days or so, so I wanna know if a rubber bumper is going to make it much more difficult to do so and whether it may damage the phone's exterior by removing it and putting it back in regularly.

So far, I have these 3. Your thoughts on them?

1) Anker Quick Charge 2.0 wallwart

2) Abacus 24-7 LG G4 bumper case

3) URPOWER smartphone/camera tripod

I have the bumper but mine is generic that I got off eBay for $4.99. I like it a lot. Protection plus can still enjoy the leather.

Any QC 2.0 charger should be fine. I haven't used that specific one but it seems to get good reviews.

No thoughts on the tripod as I haven't looked at any.

I got that bumper too; I remember asking you about yours. I got a yellow one to see how it'd look with the yellow leather back, but, they're different shades of yellow, so it looks a little silly. I do like the black one I put on with my red leather back, though. The red and black look alright together.

I've been carrying it around telling everyone it is my banana-phone for a couple days now with this combination, however:

I also make several "banana in my pocket or am I just happy to see you" jokes per hour. I'm not liked very much at work.

I also have the same bumper case (also off eBay for like $4). The only think I don't like about it with the leather back is the lip doesn't really fit over the front. But have no problem with it staying in the phone and it's easy enough to take off to change the battery.

Heh, now that you mention it, it does look like a banana.

If it was a G Flex 2, it would almost literally look like one! XD

I have that Anker quick charge 2.0 wall charger. I like it because it shows you when you are utilizing quick charge 2.0. The light indicator turns green

I love accessories for my electronics! I'm hoping to get an arm band for the phone and a screen protector.

That's why I chose it over the rest. Takes the guesswork out of knowing whether your phone is using QC 2.0 or not.

BANANA!! :)

I have the Aukey QC 2.0 charger. No light to tell you how it's charging (no light at all), but I like it.

I bought a G4 arm band off eBay (US seller) for about $7. Haven't gotten to use it yet, but it fit well when I tried putting it on.

Note, however, that the proximity sensors seemed to notice the clear plastic film, so double tapping to turn it on was not working. And even using the power button was difficult. I might need to cut out the clear plastic where it covers the proximity sensors. One time I think the plastic sat nice and tight against the screen, then the proximity sensors behaved normally, but that was the exception, not the rule.

Edit- I bought the armband here:

I also have that Anker QC. Love their products. Always have good luck with them and great service when I don't. Lots of similar ones on Amazon but I tend to stick with Anker. I also have that bumper case. So far I like it ($7 vs the $30 one that was previously on Amazon). The front lip is a bit too small but otherwise I like it. Nice and smooth, no plastic sharp areas and it's easy to take on/off for battery switching, etc.

If you wind up getting an armband, let me know what you get and how you like it! I am interested in one for workouts.

Alright May, give us your *~*~*Maypinion*~*~* please. Obviously none at all looks the best, especially when dealing with such a weird color as yellow, but if I had to choose for the protection...? :p
