LG G2 QuickWindow case Hands-on

A premium smartphone deserves premium-grade protection, isn't that so? And if the LG G2 is the phone you've gone for, then the official QuickWindow case is among the options you may pick from. It is an LG-designed flip-style case that protects the handset from wear and tear, all the while allowing one to interact with the device even when the cover is down. No, there's no telepathy involved. Simply, a vertical cut-out on the front enables time, weather, and call info to be conveniently delivered to the user, hence the accessory's name.

So let's dive straight into it. The LG G2 QuickWindow case is made of two components bonded firmly together: a rigid polyurethane flip that covers the smartphone's screen and a plastic piece that protects its sides and back. These are no fancy materials by any means, but as a whole, the accessory looks very presentable. The back is treated to the same fine, unobtrusive pattern found on the LG G2 while the flip feels nice to the touch, as if it is made of fabric. Thickness, however, is a bit of a downside. With the QuickWindow case on, the LG G2 grows not only heavier, but also thicker, at over 13mm at the waistline, creating a healthy hump when its in your pocket. Another thing that bothers us is that dust and pocket lint gathers on the phone's touchscreen around the opening's sides. Sure, you can wipe it off, but it isn't nice lifting the case's cover only to see a rectangle-shaped build-up of dust in the middle of your phone's display.
