It gives you many rubber case options(3D A limited edition classic masterpiece). Can you use those to replace the rubber shell &amp; still protects phone?

Yes as long as it's rubber. The hard inner shell protects the phone from everyday use, but the outer rubber shell protects it from a fall & screen shattering.

Yes. The shell is 2 pieces of which, the top piece has a screen protector built-in. Snap the 2 together and than a silicon cover over the whole thing. I recommend this case for many reasons but above all, after a while the silicon will get deformed, but when it does you can file a claim with Otterbox and send some pics and they will send a new one for free!

I bought kept a screen protector on the screen and a case on the phone from the day I got it. The phone itself would be too fragile to NOT have a thick cover on it at all times in my opinion. Also, i found that the screen was really sensitive and mine got "stuck" between screens when I would swipe.

No way, it offers less protection do not bother to purchase a new shell unless you just want a new back color.

The part that goes against the phone itself is silicon/ rubber and it works amazing. The outer shell is a harder plastic that gives the case rigidity. I have taken my case off a few times and the phone looks brand new.

I would say no. It is a nice case but not made like the high impact cases that are rubberized and sturdy. This is more decorative.

I don't think so. I ordered it and it did not fit my phone, so I re-sold it. It really isn't rubber-like. It is more of a hard plastic.

You certainly can remove the case and put it back on. BUT, I don't think that is the intention of the designers. I think you risk your dust-proof, water-proof potential each time you remove and replace the phone into the case. Mine has been in the case 3 months. I have not removed it. The plastic over is still in really good shape. The plastic seems pretty scratch resistant. My fingerprint scanner is unreliable. It may be user error (i.e. ME). I use my code more often. Hope this helps.

I think its the best case available for the phone (given that b/c the screen goes all the way to the outside edge of the phone, there is no way to put a clear plastic snap on screen protector like traditional 3 layer cases.) This particular case is advertised as a 3 layer case, however it in fact is only two (a hard plastic outer shell and a soft rubber inner layer) the 3rd "screen protector" layer is non existent for this phone. Over time I do think the rubber will stretch out and be loose / flabby. I was kind of upset there was no screen protector in this case package.

Just like the others I'm not sure what your asking. The case isn't meant to protect the phone at all. It's only use is to charge the phone. The only cases that actually protect the phone would be the otterbox style cases.

Yes... Easily 3 times as bulky, as say, a Body Glove. It also did not have anything break or fall off , in the 1st. 2 weeks of use. (Unlike the 1st. B.G., AND it's replacement! )... If you want to save big bucks, and actually protect your LG with a case that works & plays hard... look no further.

Yes! I had the black case before and replaces it with the white silicone and it nice. ;)

I was planning to get one of these for my cousin. I was reading over some of the reviews and it sounds like it should fit perfectly as long as you haven't put an extra layer over the shell. It might still fit if the skin overlay isn't too thick. Personally, I'd probably have both the case and the extra covering as long as they fit.

Yes!!!!! It is a terrible problem. I'm on my third replacement and this last one, otterbox themselves said the rubber material was a better compound but that has proved false. The rubber lasts 6 months. And I am in no way rough with the case. My suggestion, get on the phone with otterbox and let them know the issue. Tomorrow I will be calling for my fourth replacement. Also, there is an issue with the external protective screen losing its adhesive power along the edges. I don't get it but its been an issue. Since this is my fourth replacement, they should be replacing it with the better, more expensive, rugged case. I had them notate it onto my account. I will say, otterbox has 5 STAR customer service.

I think so but even though the case protects the phone I find it awkward to use when using the phone. I had to go to a regular rubber case for protection and ease of use. I hope this helps.

I don't think it will protect as well as others. Its very thin and hard. Not like other thick soft rubber cases. Its more for just normal scratches and nicks from daily use.

It is relatively easy to remove and replace, however, I wouldn't trust the plastic to last very long if you are removing it that often. I have only removed my case 3 or 4 times and I already have cracks forming in the bottom corner of the case. Though that could have been from dropping it too. Honestly, I don't think any case will hold up long with that frequency of removal. I would still recommend this case as the best bet.
