Pink Soft Silicone Gel Skin Cover Case for LG Xenon GR500


Lowest New Price: USD .93

Good product for the price, but does have minor flaws
I bought this silicon cover for my LG Xenon. It was only 99 cents--can't beat the price. The pros: the cover is attractive looking, but not gaudy; the top piece slides on plastic tracks with the bottom piece so the keyboard can be used; the cutouts for the phone charger, camera lens, volume buttons, etc. match up well; the cover is easy to put on and take off the phone. The cons: the cover doesn't fit the phone as snuggly as I would like it, so it adds about a half a centimeter to the width and length of the phone (in addition to the extra width/length added by the cover itself); the volume, camera, and lock buttons do not have cut-outs like the charger/headphone input--they are only stamped into the silicon cover--so you can see where they are on the phone. With this last con, these stamped areas on the cover are accurately placed, so you can just push the button through the cover to lock the phone, raise the volume, etc.
The cover is relatively opaque. I have a bright blue phone and its color doesn't show through the pink or black silicon covers. Also, with the silicon, I feel like my phone is better protected if I were to drop it compared to having it in a hard case. There is no screen protection with these silicon covers. You have to buy a screen protector separately.
The pink cover is a light pink that is not quite as bright as the picture looks. It is a little more peach-pink than picture looks.
The cover is actually two separate pieces; one for the "top" of the phone and one for the "bottom" of the phone (the piece with the keyboard). They fit together with a small, clear plastic track built into both pieces of the cover. I have only been using the cover for 2 or 3 days, but this track feels pretty sturdy and moves easily when I slide the keyboard in and out. However, I am not sure how it will stand the test of time because it is a little flimsy looking. I don't think it would last long in extreme temperatures (i.e. a parked car in FL), but a phone probably shouldn't be in those kind of conditions anyhow.
I would recommend this cover if you are looking to prevent scratches and to minimize damage from short to moderate drops. If you are really hard on your phone, this may not be the best way to protect it. The cover is slightly loose-fitting and won't protect your screen.
