Update:Nice quality but just a bit too small for my leather-back phone
Update #2My review is going down to one star. The company was going to replace my case, even gave me a tracking number for eh case shipment, but when I contacted after it didn't arriver when they said it would, they informed me they issued a refund, because the case had been discontinued -- BEWARE -- why did they discontinue the case?Update:After only four months, a short drop caused the case to crack, but the company has been wonderful! They completely stand behind their product and are replacing my phone case!The case seems like it is a really nice case and will protect my phone well. The reason I did not give it five stars is because I disagree with another reviewer's comments about the case's fit, even after removal of the plastic screen protector that is part of the case. Like others, I have a leather-back phone with a tempered-glass screen protector, and the case does not fit as it should as it says it will. The edges of the case do not close completely; there is a "gap" around the edges that allows dust, etc. to get in (especially the edge around the charging and ear bud port), because it is just not large enough. The quality is really nice though.

Fantastic case, fantastic price, few compromises.
First let me start off by saying that I purchased this for my leather backed model of the G4 from Tmobile and it does in fact fit just fine.The case for starters, is definitely a rugged accessory. The construction of the exterior is a hard, mildly textured plastic in the center and a similarly hard rubber around the edge. It feels good in the hand with it's sculptured body, allowing for decent grip with the added bulk. It's a two piece fit with a cover plate containing the screen protector and a backer that comes around the sides and interlocks around the edges with the cover plate. Very nice and secure fit. The cover plate is beveled all the way around with it being roughly double the depth up top, making for a nice transition for swiping down to access the notification panel. I also feel like it accentuates the fact that this device is curved itself, but that's just my opinion. All of the cutouts seem to be near perfect and are symmetrical around whatever it is they're exposing. The microphone port seems a little out of place but that MAY be due to my leather back, which apparently adds a little thickness to the device. The screen protector is alright but there is glue residue from manufacturing on most of the right side of it. When the screen is off it's clearly visible There's also this "dot-matrix" style of dots you can see with the screen off or transitions to another app when the screen is black. I personally prefer glass protectors and see myself cutting this out eventually. The ports on the bottom are fully covered however I find them to be tough to keep open and after a night of charging I'm constantly re-closing them for about an hour.The holster seems pretty darn tough and holds the phone really well inside of it. The clip has a solid rotation and should clip over a belt no wider than an 1-5/8" no problem. I've had bad luck with these types of clips due to my job where sometimes I'm squeezing though a space and the clip pops from the holster. If I don't come back to update the review just know that it's still holding up.All in all, I really couldn't shun someone away from wanting this case if they needed something so durable. The few caveats I came up with are livable by all means but probably could have been picked up during testing. It obviously adds bulk to the device but, if you're looking for a case like this you should already be aware of that. If you like the sleek body and light weight, look elsewhere.

UPDATED: Great case, fit my leather G4, Obstinate port covers
Great case, fit my leather G4 perfectly. My 1 year old son has already had a go at it at a restaurant, dropped it on the floor, banged it on the table, smudged the screen and body with food. Got home and wiped it down and it was good as new with no marks or scratches. The lamentation about the ports not sitting flush after charging or using headphones is over-stated, if you simply close the port cover, and hold it down for a few seconds it will stay in place.Comparison:This is a much better option to the Otterbox I previously had. The otterbox had a silicone/rubber lining that was too malleable and the bottom edge easily slips off when you open the ports, I've seen older otterboxes which have stretched out over time so I began looking for options. I found this case for $19 which was a steal compared to the $45 price tag for the otterbox and it was a no-brainer. Returned the otterbox and got the supcase and I could not be happier.UPDATEThe power port cover flap has become more stubborn to close over the past 2 weeks. Now No matter the amount of pressure or time I hold it in it will not remain in place. Unfortunately for me it began to persist after the return window closed. I suspect it has to do with the leather back stretching out the case and causing a gap between the port cover and the plastic frame.Knocked it down to 4 stars, still a tough and good looking case but honestly it's not designed for a leatherback G4 (hence, the exacerbated port cover issue).

Durable but Bulky and kind of annoying to use
Pros:Well madesolid constructiondurableCons:very, very bulkyScreen cover gives this weird rainbow effect on the screen (not sure how to describe it)Annoying little flaps that cover the headphone and usb portCovers up the awesome-ness of the leather back (if you have a leather backed G4)Kind of annoying to put on and take offOverall, this is a decent case for the price. It's well built, and it feels like it can withstand alot of damage. If you're somebody who drops their phone alot, this should protect your phone very well. However, I don't think this is something that I'd use on a daily basis. The LG G4 is already a big phone and this just makes it even bigger, bulkier, and more uncomfortable to use than it already is. Honestly, I don't think I have a problem with this case in particular, but I just don't think it's a good idea to use any kind of case with the LG G4. Maybe I'll use it if I'm ever in a situation where durability is more important than ease of use.

Loads of protection, but very big and the front screen is not all that.
Provides excellent protection, and the additional holster is very handy...However the front screen protector makes the touch screen less accurate, i.e. instead of registering a swipe, it thinks I'm tapping the screen and something else will happen such as open an app, or select a link.Also makes the phone quite a bit bigger, so trying to find a car holder when using google maps for directions that will fit while being in the case has been quite difficult.But the main thing is the protection, and it is very good... I would know, as I've already dropped it a couple of times while in the case and not a bit of damage was done.

screen doesnt work as should with case.
I have a supcase for another phone which fits perfect. but this doesn't fit the G4 as it should. the case is snug and secure around the phone but there is a 1-2mm gap between the protective film and the phone. so force has to be taken on the screen to get a response, most times no response which makes the phone unusable. I think is due to the curve of the phone, and the case has not been molded to match the curve. so this case will be returned as its impractical.

Didn't fully fit the leather back lgg4. It's very ...
Didn't fully fit the leather back lgg4. It's very compact but won't completely wrap around the phone due to the leather cover. So there is a gap which won't allow for full protection and permit dust going in.

Good stuff!
Got this for my kid. He loves it! Feels like a secret agent with it. I like it because it seems pretty rugged.
