A Solid and Inexpensive Protective Case
Let me first mention that the screen protector on this is not tempered glass. I didn't want tempered glass. I wanted plastic. If you want tempered glass, then this case is not for you. I wanted plastic, however, so I bought this case. I just prefer the responsiveness of plastic to that of tempered glass.This case is basically identical to others that I've used over the years, all of which have done their jobs admirably. I've broken a few over the years by being your basic klutz, but the phones inside the cases have always survived unscathed. In fact, when I replaced the phones and sold them, they were always in mint condition, having been literally untouched by human hands since being placed in their cases. The cases took the abuse I hurled at them -- sometimes at the cost of their own lives -- but they protected the phones inside of them.In fact, this case replaces another case just like it (albeit with a different brand name) that I broke. So why did I buy an identical case if the other one broke? Because the case broke, not the phone. That's the basic idea of using a big, bulky case like this: to protect the phone from my klutziness. And it did just that. So I bought another.The LG V20 is one of the last -- maybe the last -- high-end phones with a removable battery. I plan to be buried with mine because I refuse to pay good money for a phone that I have to throw out when the battery won't hold a charge. So I wanted something tough, and this case is tough. It does not, however, have a battery door. So if you want to swap batteries frequently, then this case is not for you. If you replace the battery every 18 months like I do, then it is.The only caveat is that the plastic screen cover is designed to protect the screen from fingers, not hammers, rocks, or nuclear missiles. Tempered glass probably would be tougher. So if you're an even bigger klutz than I am, maybe you want to think about that. For me, I prefer the responsiveness of a plastic screen; and since I rarely take hammers, rocks, or missiles to my phone's screen, this protector does an admirable job, even though it's only plastic.RichardUPDATE: I just ordered and received another of these cases. Why, you ask?Well, it's like this. I may be old, but I'm also very active. I fly airplanes, climb mountains, take photographs from railroad bridges, maintain my own vehicles and power equipment, and do all sorts of other things that cause my big phones -- I like big phones -- to get dropped, banged against things, and generally suffer all manner of indignities and insults.Because of this, I've broken a lot of these cases and belt clips over the years. But never -- not once -- has a phone inside one of these cases been damaged in the process.So I consider it a fair trade: Replacing an inexpensive case once in a while is much nicer than replacing an $800.00 phone. So when I break one of these cases, I buy another one just like it.This time around I actually broke the belt clip rather than the case. The case itself is in good enough shape that I didn't bother changing it. I'll save it for the next time I drop the phone from a railroad trestle or something along those lines.In summary, these big, clunky cases and their equally clunky belt clips may not make a fashion statement, but they sure do a good job protecting phones from damage.Richard

The screen cover is horrid. It is SLIGHTLY elevated ...
The screen cover is horrid.It is SLIGHTLY elevated, so as the phone heats up, moisture in the air will gather under the surface of the screen and when you press, it sticks as if you have spilled water on the face.It's OK. It's a clone for the Unicorn series from Supcase.Supcase does not have a LGV20 case out yet, so I picked this one up.It's a PAIN to separate the pieces, though. My plastic screen detached when I removed the top to clean what I thought was water, from the surface of the phone.If you want this case, pick it up. Just MAKE SURE you purchase a gorilla glass screen protector and remove the junk plastic provided. I will keep mine until Supcase pushes out their cases for this. I would rather spend 10.00 for 40 days of protection, that not spend a penny and risk a 700.00 phone smashing to pieces

Its no unicorn beatle
Good solid case. However there is a gap between screen protector & screen so some touches don't register and u have to re type quit a few times. But for 10 bucks cant complain. Shipping took almost a week even tho it was a prime eligable shipping.

Very good case for my LG V20 phone.
While not the easiest V20 case to install, I am happy with it because it fits well and is very sturdy/non-slip. Before installing the cover/screen protector the phone screen was cleaned with an alcohol wipe. After removing the blue protective film from the case screen protector it was immediately installed over the phone. Next, the phone was pressed into the case and, using finger pressure, the edges of the case was worked onto and over the lip of the screen protector cover. The new screen protection is pretty sensitive although I tap or press a little harder. Still, no problem with screen sensitivity.What I was looking for in a protective case, especially, is a non-slip grip, and this case satisfies the requirement very well. The sides of the case are easy to grip and hold.Another feature I wanted is the ability to affix a magnetic plate on the back of the case for the purpose of attaching to a magnetic cd holder in the car, and there is room to attach the magnet which is great for my purposes.The outer protective cover with belt clip/kickstand, pretty easily snaps on and off, no matter whether the face of the phone is inverted or exposed for viewing. This is a nice feature.Overall, I like this case for my LG V20 phone and recommend it.Update, August 25th 2018After using this case for two lgv20 phones, I have to update my review and say that this is a 4 1/2 *star case! It's easy to hold the case which is my first important point. It doesn't slip from my hand, ever. Next, the screen cover works very well and I haven't had any problem using my touch screen. This is saying something because I also have protective sheet on my phone screen and this cover screen is on top of that.Lastly, my only ongoing complaint is that there is no easy to use support for standing the phone up unless I use the outer case cover. I find this to be inconvenient and annoying.Still, my experience is that this is a very good case despite the one thing about the ability to prop up the phone. Four and a half stars!
