Is the T-Mobile G2 same as AT&T, in terms of case compatibility?

[heading4tomorrow]

Can I pick up a case from T-Mobile and use it on my AT&T LG G2?

All cases on Amazon (Incipio, Slim Armour) say that they will fit both ATT and T-Mobile (but not Verizon), so I am pretty sure the answer is yes. (AT&T has a small noise canceling mic hole on the back, that the International versions don't have. You should probably verify that T-Mobile also has it.)

I see, that's a good indicating feature that we can look for and tell if it is compatible or not, unless T-Mobile's cases block that microphone as well..

I have the Tmobile LG G2 and i bought the slimarmor case ( AT&T and Tmobile ) The case has noise canceling mic hole on the back even though my phone doesnt have that mic... So If you're buying a Tmobile only case then I would suggest looking for that noise cancelling mic hole near the upper right of the camera.

You mean T-Mo's G2 does not have the microphone?
Thanks for the suggestion.

Yup the case has a hole for the mic but my G2 doesnt have a mic there.

Thank you so much for the pictures, all this time I thought they were the same, I guess they are same body-wise in dimensions and weight, but there are few things here and there that are different.
I just picked it up and yep, I do have the 3rd mic hole on the back of my G2.



Return the favor by posting picture of mine, I am sure someone must have posted one before..

How do you like the Slim Armor case?

Well first of all, youll notice that itll give you a significant addition of bulk. It adds like 50% more thickness to the G2. But since its a 600Dollar investment for me, I dont mind it at all. It feels safe and secured in the case. I haven't dropped it yet (yay!) so i can't tell you if its great for drops but it seems like it would save it from a good high point drop. Its a finger print magnet too but easily cleaned. Plus I didn't like the plastic feel so it gives it more of a premium feel... something like the Iphone 5's . but not that premium. Just close to it. Its a two layer case. One is a soft flexible one then you add the colored hard cover on it. If you don't mind having a hefty addition to the bulk of your phone, I would recommend it. If not, then I would say look at something else.

Got the Metal Slate one.

Thanks! This helped a lot. I ordered Diztronic, after seeing it have great reviews and was reasonably priced.

I didn't want to get those $3 cases, although this doesn't look like it has a lot of protection but it seems to be fine.
I really wanted to get D30 Impact Gel Case from AT&T, but that visible orange was a turn-off.

I tried to get some feedback on D3O here, but nobody responded, I assume nobody bought that before?

honestly, I've never seen that case before! I didn't even bother to look at Tmobile's website cuz I always assume that its way overpriced for a case. and Good choice of a case, that was one of my choices too when bought my G2 but the slim armor's Slate color really got me

I know, that material looks very nice, but like I said I didn't care for that orange strip. I am looking for a pouch to go with the case I got now, you know those little velvet pouches with drawstring, they used to be dime a dozen on ebay, they are not around anymore..

Best I can find is something like this:
Amazon.com: BoxWave LG G2 Case - BoxWave Velvet LG G2 Pouch, Slim-Fit Carrying Sleeve (Jet Black): Cell Phones & Accessories

this is roughtly 150 x 90 mm. which is like 5.9 inches x 3.5 inches... It barely would fit my G2 with a case but without a case it would probably fit? worth a shot for only 2.99 + shipping Amazon.com: BlueMall Microfiber Sleeve Pouch Cover Case - Baby Blue for Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime i515 (CDMA) / i9250 (GSM), DoubleTime i857, Captivate Glide i927, Focus S I937, Focus Flash, Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Exhibit II 4G SGH-T679, Illusion i1

Found similar ones, but I think the ones I am referring to are no longer on sale. I like that last one, similar to this:
Genuine Real Black Leather Pull Tab Slide Pouch Case | eBay

But these are going to be too tight with any kind of case.

There is also this: 'Black' L Neoprene Rubber Pouch for LG Optimus G2 Case Cover Slip | eBay
and
Leather Open Top Cover Case Pouch for LG G2 Phone Black Holster Belt Clip New | eBay

and then I think the same thing you posted:
Black Sleeve Pouch Cover Case for LG Google Nexus 5 G2 Motorola Moto X | eBay

I think I am going to go with the last one, just a normal little pouch for normal daily storage so it is easier to toss the phone around, and won't collect too much dust in pocket.

FYI, I picked up the T-Mobile D30 Impact Shell Case:
LG G2 D3O Impact Shell - Smoke | T-Mobile

It fits the AT&T version with no problem and with all of the correct cut-outs.
It's not bulky at all, yet it definitely offers more protection (especially to the edges) than the Incipio Feather case.
(And it's 25% off using coupon code: 25HOLIDEAL)

I was going to ask you to post some pictures, are you editing your post now?

Wow, you can't even see the orange strip, that was my main complain, can you post a bit lighter pictures? It still looks awesome.
Does the coupon work in store? It would mean only $22.50 + tax for the case.

The pics are visible on my computer (and phone).
The orange strip is barely visible (I actually like it). The case is a smoky grey and the sides have a slight orange tint.
Coupon worked on line (not sure if it does in store).
$34.99 X .75 = $26.24 (+ tax).

I don't see the pictures on your post above, but when I quote I see the links, strange.
Thanks again for sharing, I think I am going to stop by T-Mo store tomorrow just to see how the case feels and looks in person. My Diztronic should arrive tomorrow, and I can make a decision if I should keep it or go with T-Mo case.

Used Diztronic for about a month and finally gave up on any case.

Nothing feels as good as this phone when it is naked. I just love the feeling of sliding my finger off the edges of the phone.
I think this is one of those phones that are not meant to be enclosed in a case.
The phone feels so much better without one.
I am still keeping the Diztonic in case I go on an adventure or something.

I might go so far to get rid of screen protector as well.

The only problem is slippery back.

I understand that. Phone is a great size without a case. As for naked phone, maybe you should consider a body skin that would give a bit of grip. Cheers
