Most Heavy Duty Case for LG G2 ?

[GoodEnough]

IS Incipio Dual is the most heavy duty case I can get for Lg G2?
I don't care about bulk. Phone is never in my pocket.
I want protection from droppage.

Ballistic?

This case is cheap ($9) looks sturdy as heck and gets decent reviews:

JKase Diablo rugged series for G2 (hardshell outer, TPU inner):

I use the Otterbox defender for my G2

$40 is obnoxious for some rubber.

Ordered the Incipio for $25
Can't believe I spent that much for a piece of rubber.
Turning into a big spender here....

I personally like UAG, though I have no idea if they make one for LG G2 or not.

in case it didn't go without saying, don't ever think of using the official LG smart-view flipcover. aside from being way too expensive ($50?), it actively leaves traces where it makes contact with your screen. it scrapes like a sheet of sandpaper. (I know this from seeing the result on someone else's phone, fortunately)

meh, for a $400+ device? yeah.
Besides if you destroy the otterbox the only thing needed for a replacement is two pictures of the damage emailed to them, they ship the replacement within a day or two. Nothing else needed, no stupid warranty paperwork, etc.


Also, i've dropped it a few times from 4-5 feet on to concrete without any damage to the phone, so im happy with it.

Got the Incipio Dual today. Not happy.

I did not notice the bezel was so slim.
I wanted a thick bulky bezel to protect from falls.

So, not only did I pay top dollar $25,
but I got something that didn't even meet my only criteria.

Fail.

I would gladly pay $40 to avoid what happened to my Note 2. Now I have the option of a new screen for $300 or a new phone.

But it's some very thick rubber that gets good reviews, and best of all it's proven to work well.

but I got something that didn't even meet my only criteria.

Good job, maybe next time take the advice of someone who owns the device and already has a good case for it?

The most recommended case, by far, was this Incipio Dual.
No idea why. It's no different than the $9 Tudia or Cruzerlite stuff.

I decided that I'm going to return the Incipio Dual and get something bulkier.
I think Amazon covers the return shipping for refunds?
I printed a UPS label.

I think I might just spring for the Otterbox.

All you need for drop protection is a TPU lip like on the $9 Cruzerlite you're bashing, btw. But you might like that Ballistic case...

Diztronics or Cruzerlite for TPU

You actually broke the digitizer/panel or just the glass? The higher-volume repair places (lots in cities, not sure where you live) have gotten really good with glass replacement using LOCA, and it should be well under $100. Just make sure they actually do use LOCA instead of some simple tape-down method.

Just the glass but haven't found a place that would do just the glass in northern Atlanta. Picked up an HTC M8 today and my try to fix and sell it.

Got the $19 Ballistic cover.
Way deeper lip bezel than the Incipio Dual.
