Cases, skins, no protection

[RRHMJ23]

Who's doing what. ? I love the look of the G6 body , yet I find it too slippery. I hate bulky cases, but I'm not sure if skins protect enough. What are u guys using or any suggestions on the way I should go.

My phone hasn't arrived yet but I intend to use a case. I thought about going with a skin, for grip, but that glass back has me nervous.

I used my phone naked for 5 days till my case arrived...using E LV case transparent silicone...give great protection and retains the beauty of G6

I am putting a slickwraps on it and may help with the slippery back

I am using a Spigen Thin Fit case. Very thin, with cutouts for all of the buttons, charging port, etc. Adds minimal protection and a textured feel to make it not slippery at all. I also have a Sparin glass screen protector. The whole package adds almost no bulk to the phone and it looks almost as good as the naked phone.

That's exactly what I use except I also have a slick wrap on the back for when I go without a case.

Started out with an Incipio DualPro while I waited for a Ringke Air to arrive, but got annoyed with particulate gathering underneath so now it's caseless. Debating a skin but hiding the look of the device is an act I'd prefer to avoid.

I'm covering my G6 with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Air Cushion and a Spigen tempered glass screen protector. Spigen products are a good value and get the job done.

I use a DBrand skin with a glass screen protector. For a case I have a Gear 4 D30 case, but I rarely use it.

I'm going with the Spigen Tough Armor case, and will add a screen protector once I get my final device (still having issues with mobile data dropping in and out up to 4 times a minute. Hoping Sprint will try swapping out one more time).https://www.spigen.com/products/lg-g6-case-tough-armor

I think that's just sprints crappy service. My HTC 10 does the same annoying thing

That's what I've thought, too. But it's not occurring on my son's Nexus 6, nor on my wife and daughters' iPhone 6s's. Sprint says there's nothing going on with our coverage here, but I think they'll say anything just to get you off the phone.

Have you tried a new sim from them?

They are lying plus they are upgrading their service to something. I forgot what it's called. I'll have to check sprint newsroom but my moms phone does the same thing and she has an s7 edge.

There are some "bulkier" skins that would still protect against dings and bumps. Not too bulky but a bit thicker than the average skin.

Caseology has very good cases that are slim so they don't mess with the LG's natural design. Not sure what they have available for the G6 currently - I saw a few a few weeks ago - but I was very happy with my slim pink case for my G3.

Yes, I did that with the original G6, and it had no impact.

Are you in the Chicago area? Not sure that would apply to me, as I'm in Virginia.

I'm in MD. But the LG g6 is supposed to be the first sprint phone to be a hpue (high performance user experience) device that enables better data coverage. But I checked with sprint and they are having a few problems in the dmv area.

That's interesting to know. Are you just keeping your phone on 3G when you're away from Wi-Fi? I found when on the road that by putting the network to CDMA only, I avoided getting the "no network connection."

To be honest, except for this, I really love this phone. Really don't wanna jump to Samsung.

Just found this article on hpue...
