Anybody else using this fully naked? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is the first phone I've done it with. No screen protector and no case. Mainly doing it because I have jump and will likely get something new in 6 months.

I went with a screen protector but will likely not put a case on. I also am using the Verizon edge program so I just need to make sure I don't crack the screen or break the phone.

At home I do, but anytime I leave I throw the case on. I keep my phones new so I can sell and get the next best thing in a few months.

Using a case but no screen protector. Previously with my GNex I only used a case at the gym, and my OGD was always naked. Tuna phone was a beast.

I am using the Verizon screen protector, but other than that, no case. I hate cases and haven't found one I like for any of my phones (iPhone 3Gs, Iphone 4s, Lumia 920, LG G2). The only case I've ever considered was a wood back replacement for the iphone 4s' glass back, but I couldn't bring myself to spend $80 for it.

I just have a screen protector on it. Been browsing the accessory page trying to find a case I really like but haven't been able to choose one yet. I'm on the Next plan (ATT) so I have 12 mos before I can turn it in if I want.

I was.. But I switched to a poetic palette case because it was a little too slippery for me. Though I'm not a clumsy person and rarely drop phones, I had to get a grip on it. I may go for a glass screen protector since i plan to keep this for a while.

That's my concern ours the slip it has to it. Was thinking about a zagg type back skin.
LG G2

Someone a couple weeks ago used a fine still wool to buff off the slippery texture, though I didn't feel it myself so I couldnt vouch for it. It also changed the look of it to more of a brushed metal look. I may be in the minority but I like the pattern on my At&t version more than that.
LG G2

I'm using it naked and plan to have it in fantastic condition in 18 months. Did the same with LG Dare and Galaxy Nexus, though they have small scratches on 1 or 2 corners.
I just rarely drop things. I keep care for my important belongings.

Always nude never ran protection on any phone, ya just gotta be really careful

Vzw screen protector & the ugly folio case. I paid retail for my G2 wasn't gonna take a chance. So, I'm looking for a case with a small footprint. G2 is too cool to have a bulky case.

Always naked....always...DroidX...GNex...G2. I love the people that brag about how thin their iPhone is and they have this monstrosity of a case that makes it 4 times as thick.

I only use it fully naked in the house. Otherwise I have to put some pants on.

I want to buy a Samsung Google Nexus S I9023 but it does not have a Gorilla Glass. If I use a screen guard, will that be enough protection and will it impair the touch experience?

Yes it will be enough as long as you don't throw it at a wall or drop it(although I still recommend the gel case or hard case in addition to screen protector) and I haven't noticed any hindering of elegance and I am using the Zagg screen protector. It may take a week but it will mold right in and you'll hardly notice it is there.

It was really a relief. Anyway am from India and will have to look for local equivalents but hearing that it would not impair the experience was a deal-saver Thanks really.
I use the phone without a screen protector for about 3 months now. I don't have a single scratch on it. I always take good care of it and never put it in a pocket with anything else (except maybe a handkerchief).

Same with me; no screen protector and I've had mine for about 4 months without any problems whatsoever. I don't even take any special precautions except to make sure there isn't any sand or anything on the screen before I wipe it.

I didn't have it more than two days before the protector was put on it. This is, of course, only because I get a discount on accessories occasionally at the store I usually go to. So 25% off sounded pretty good without having to buy two accessories for the usual deal.

Users without screen protector

how does the mytouch screen do against scratches and the like? How long have you been going bare?
The screen feels so nice without one, I just don't want to start getting scratches on it, so looking for some opinions
Maybe this belongs in the accessories section. Mods, sorry if it does, please move it if you feel it is necessary.

Okay I'm going to go naked and see what happens. My hd2

no screen protector since day 1 (bought sometime in Feb/Mar) and still on perfect condition. It has gorilla glass: http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/products-with-gorilla/htc
so IMHO I don't think you need to worry. I've learned this with my hero. stupid me putting a screen protector not knowing the glass itself has better scratch resistance than the screen protector I bought.
a little off topic, I'm looking for the perfect case though. as stelth300 stated, the chrome part (and probably the metal back) does seem to need a good case.
I got mine the day it came out, whenever that was, and never used a case or screen cover. I have a few small scratches on the middle of the screen, but you can only see them when the screen is off. Also the coating on my battery door is starting to peel away in some spots. And the metal ring around the camera lens fell off.
I dragged a key on it to test it. It wouldnt scratch. Gorilla glass!
As you'll see here, the MT4G has Gorilla Glass, so it is exceptionally tough. I've seen people drag keys across it and there isn't a scratch after.

I feel the same about my old G1. The screen doesn't feel near as tough as my MT4G's. Maybe there are different versions of Gorilla Glass, and the newer phones have a tougher model.
use gorilla glass, once you have it you wont regret it and its worth it
I use a screen protector due to dust and not scratches, I also have a case that seals the edges from dust. That is my real concern.

Mine is about 3 months old and not on scratch yet...pretty amazing, even dropped it one flat on the screen on the floor and NOTHING. This is a tough phone.
I used a cheap screen protector that came with my trident aegis case, it was a joke and i don't care what anyone says no matter how good you are @ putting them stupid theings on there will always be some air bubbles trapped underneath which is my biggest gripe and why i rock mine butt nekkid plz lol

This is true, I have never been able to get it perfectly, and I can't smooth out all the bubbles either. It's annoying to look at sometimes but there's not much i can do about it. Sometimes I don't use a case so I have my phone with other things in my pockets.
run mine naked, ended up with a minor scratch most likely from something in my pocket. I have to really look for it when the screen is off, don't even notice when screen is on. Had mine since release.
My wife on the other hand... I think it was the first 2 weeks before she managed to put a scratch in the screen. I think she dropped it in the car onto a upward pointing nail file.
Had mine since about a month before it was officially announced to be released.
Never used a screen protector.
I dont have a case and also have dropped the phone NUMEROUS times, on the concrete, face down (in fact, more times than I can remember- and probably an ongoing couple of times a week, at normal ))
I have a very minimal amount of "scratches" on the screen; however there is a very small sort of dent on the the edge from the impact of one of the falls.

Anyone using ghost armor?

Well I currently have SGP dual front and back but this thing is a finger print magnet. I saw a ghost armor booth in the mall and I'm wondering if anyone uses it? How's clarity and smoothness? Orange peel? Does it pick up a lot of fingerprints? I don't want to pay a lot and then not like it!

I use it exactly because there is a ghost armor stand at the mall.
No orange peel. I haven't used other wet applies, but I don't think it feels rubbery. It is not edge to edge, the curved edges are left uncovered and even the back piece is a little small. I have the official bumper with it and the ghost armor works perfectly, the bumper actually does not even touch the front and back pieces. I have the full covering around the edges as well, which obviously does get covered.
Hope that helps.

I just got a full body Ghost Armor for my N4 and I was surprised by 2 things:
1) It isn't edge to edge which I found odd because it was a wet apply.
2) Normally, I would not even look at a screen protector if it wasn't edge to edge but oddly, this protector isn't even noticeable that it isn't edge to edge. The way the N4's screen curves on its sides is so pronounced that you won't be able to see the edges of the screen protector. I've seen some other non-edge to edge protectors (SGP for example) and it looks terrible with such a "small" protector but this one seems to be oddly fine. I can't explain why this one looks fine (it's not as if they use some kind of special material or something), but I have no problems with it at all and as a bonus, it won't lift up because of any cases. Best of both worlds I'd say and I'm pretty satisfied.
I also got them to throw on a matte back protector which I think will go well with the official bumper if that ever comes back into stock. I was going to get a clear back as well but they ran out and offered me a matte back which I took. Think it was a good decision as the back will feel more solid with it than a smudgy and fingerprinty clear back.
They also put on some side protectors for the sides of the phone which I don't really like. Most likely going to rip them off, but might keep them as I will be using a case anyways and would make no difference.
Pretty satisfied overall. A little pricey at $35 for a full body kit + installation but I have always hated applying screen protectors by myself. Throw in the lifetime warranty and it's fair value I'd say.
Thanks for the replies. One last question. Does the clear one repel fingerprints well? If not how would you compare the matte one to the clear one as far as clarity is concerned?

I used to only use ghost armor but tried Bestskinsever and now ghost armor looks like crap to me. The orange peel effect is horrible on ghost armor and on BSE it almost non existent. Just my opinion

The clear one repels fingerprints about as well as the screen alone, maybe a little better, which basically means it doesn't.

You can order it and install it yourself and save 5$ from the installation fee. It is really easy to install yourself, although it takes a little while to cure, being a wet-apply screen protector. Personally I also don't really trust the stand at the mall near where I live, as I let the guy there do it once, and he did it quite poorly (left dust and many bubbles underneath, and actually didn't line up the cutouts right). I ended up redoing it myself ( I feel like reiterating that it is the easiest screen protector installation I have ever done). However, this is just my experience with the people at my mall, YMMV.

I've generally had good experience with the stand at my mall, specifically with one guy who even when hungover (he told me) still did a great job. I've certainly had better treatment with Apple devices though, they go through so many iPhones/iPods each day that they can do it in there sleep and I find they have more difficulty with less popular, or, in this case, new devices like the Nexus 4.
With the Nexus 4 I'm a little dissatisfied with some of the application. The sides in particular, but for some reason the guy had trouble with the backing as well and there is a few air bubbles that have been bugging me. I've been considering redoing it myself, but as I've always had them do it I don't have the materials.
Do you know what I could use to reapply it at home?

I found that many of the tiny speck-like air bubbles actually dissappear by themselves after a few days, the larger ones you can sort of "push out" with your finger.
If you choose to install it yourself, they give you all the supplies you need, including a new screen protector, covered under the warranty. However, the mall stand I go to asks that you bring in your old screen protector if you peeled it off, so hang on to it.

I've never been given all the supplies before, as they do the install there and then I'm on my way. I've gone back and got them to reapply a few times previously with a few other devices, but I felt like I might just try it myself this time.
I realize most of the bubbles disappear, but it's already been over a week and there are a number of them left including one large one that I knew from the beginning would never go away on its own.

THIS^. I literally just applied my bestskinsever, and i love it. great fit. I am not using a case at the moment tho, waiting for it in the mail currently

Do you have a case for your phone?

Hi, I've had the nexus for two days now and yesterday I dropped it from about two feet to the kitchen floor. Nothing happened to the phone. The floor is sort of like plastic? I'm not sure what kitchen floors are made of. Anyway, this is my first glass phone and I'm very paranoid that I may crack it someday. I've seen what happens if you drop a glass phone, i.e iPhone and nexus and its scary. My previous phone; I never dropped it once (at least that I can recall), but this phone is a lot slimmer and easier to slip from the hand.
I primarily ask because I'm one of those people who would rather have a 'naked' phone. I feel like it shows the true beauty of phones, but I also don't want to have a shattered phone
I also take good care of my phones. But you never know what can happen.

I ordered the Ringke Fusion case, but hasn't arrived yet.
Absolutely man, buy a good case and a screen cover. Its worth the extra 30 or 40$.
I use a pouch case (the shocksock leather one, looks very nice on the phone) which protects the entire phone when it's in my pocket but allows me to use it without a case or screen protector. Worked for me for two years with my HD2 (not a single scratch or dent apart from once when my friend dropped it when using it) and hopefully it should work for me with this phone too.

Tmobile store now has the hard body glove case and the silicon case. I got the hard case and it is great did not noticibly change the weight or size of the phone like a lot of cases
I bought the Acase Superleggera Pro from Amazon for $15 and have had it for a few days. I can finally rest easy about dropping it since it has the hard shell on the outside with the silicone layer on the inside almost like an Otterbox (2 stage case). All port cutouts are precise and buttons are easy to press. I've owned 2 other cases and both seemed to offer little protection for it. I just hope I never have to test it lol.
I'm just like you: anxious and not liking cases and I definitely advise you to use one. I bought a 3$ TPU case and it protects the phone well plus it makes it less slippery.

Using the official bumper + skinomi screen protector. Works very well for me. Dropped the phone once, ~1meter fall (from my pocket) on wooden floor, the bumper definitely saved it.
Take a case and a 2 protectors(face and bottom) to protect the phone from scratches. Both cost about 10 €
I use them since the first day and everything is fine for me. It saved my phone more than once.
Bought a Cruzerlite android army case. Fits really well, looks good, and the TPU material is soft and protective.

It's just stuffs with no animal products in it. This is the way I live, I hate violence, I hate slavery, so I won't support it in any way. I know it sounds funny when you don't know about it, but it's the only way we can reject animal cruelty. I could say a lot, but I think it's not the place to talk about it.

I'm using an ionic styled black case that you find on amazon for under 10 bucks. Great protection, doesn't add much bulk imo and it feels very good in my hands. Plus I feel safer with it on and that's what's important...ones own peace of mind.
My cousin has a cruzerlite case, there is nothing wrong with it but I prefer the case I currently have on my phone. I actually purchased it to hold me over till I find something that I really liked. Now its my daily driver and I couldn't be happier.

The Damage Thread. Have you defiled your phone's appearance yet?

So I just woke up to a knick on the side of my phone this morning. Nothing major by any stretch but nevertheless if your like me it bothers you to death and you can't stop looking at it. So I'm wondering if anyone else out there has make a mark on their baby yet. (Side note: the fake metal sides are cheap af. I tested it by lightly tapping my cast, I broke my wrist, and it left a Mark that won't come off. Come on LG even my samsung plastic held up better.)
i got a small crack near the mic opening on the bottom..doesnt bother me that much..hoping to exchange it when the nexus x comes out..if it is better
Dropped from a foot and the screen cracked and doesnt work. Saying that i have insurance so i got a new one

Haha, the other day I was driving a fork lift truck at work like I usually do and I guess I was going to fast when I hit a bump and my phone flew to where my feet was and then to the ground face down. Luckily the only damage done was a tiny nick to the screen that you can't even tell it's there unless I point it out. It was bugging me to death the first few hours but now I barely notice it. Can't be seen with screen on either. I was rather disappointed to. I have a phone cover on it and it shouldn't of gotten scratched but oh well. It could of been worse.
I have some hits on the frame around the screen, 2 scratches on back cover and 2 more barely noticable on the screen. That's it.
The world played out in slow motion the first time I dropped my phone. At this point though there are a few very minor scratches along the edge of the phone around the screen.
hairline crack across the bottom microphone. NEVER dropped it. Do you guys confirm this is a more widespread issue?
yeah I've got tiny scratches on the back... barely visible
but the bizarre thing is that I'm pretty friendly with how I use the phone...I never dropped it yet.. using a thin back case..
weird...I think LG should work better on durability...
Even though the back of the G3 looks and feels great

Same thing. Dropped it once while drunk but even before that I had these weird little scratches on the back. No clue where they are from.
Hairline crack at IR port. Will try and get a free replacement in a couple of weeks using warranty
Had my phone bare naked for few weeks and dropped if few times, had in my pocket with keys and change. No scratches or anything anywhere. I don't even think I'll be getting a screen protector since this baby is one tough son of a female dog.

I dropped mine from about 2.5 feet and it put one long crack through the screen and nothing to one side of it worked. $156 LCD/digitizer replacement through LG. I feel your pain.
Edit: I forgot to mention this happened with the Spigen Slim Armor case on.

Wow... With SPIGEN on dude? I always thought that those cases were awesome.
It must have landed on a corner.
I just got the same case today. I could see it not providing much protection if it lands on the ground on the corners. The top and back are just rubber.
I love the case though. Not sure how much protection it offers from drops.

You probably got dirt grains in between the case and phone.

So did I. The case is nice and doesn't add bulk. It would probably offer more protection if it were a little softer rubber.

Yep, right on the corner. Funny how Spigen advertises "Absolute Drop Protection" and "Air cushion corners". Lol

Jesus, i bought one of those but I hasn't arrived so far. I using a regular tpu case
It's still a great case and I think it provides decent protection unless dropped in a certain way.
The case looks beautiful and I love the way the camera is separated from the volume.
I'm happy with it so far and still much better than bare bones.

I ran an apple background for a little while. That's all the defiling so far.
