What link?

You mentioned proper LG one. So thought you had a link.

He meant one that is specifically designed for the g4. Check Takealot.

Like the guy who sold me had generic ones and one that had LG G4 written on them, perfect fit, but you can check TA.

A lot of Asian stalls has them. I went looking for a normal plastic one but they only had the glass ones at R120 a pop.

Haha yeah.

Dropped my Z3 and Z3 Compact. Neither had covers though.

Will be placing order for tempered glass screen protector this week.

And they're supposed to some of the more resilient phones...wow. My Z3 looks like a tank and is about 1/4 the size of an actual brick XD

Anyone not using the default bumper case that came with their phone?

Already broke the plastic piece on mine while changing sim cards.

Sigh.

I have magnetic chargers for Xperia if you want swap or cash.

what plastic piece? IIRC @Piesang wasn't using his bumper case. Mine never came with one.

There by the charging port. There's a plastic piece on the bumper that goes over the ports.

The phone itself is perfectly fine. Just the bumper.

I'd love to bypass constantly opening the mini-USB flap but unfortunately actually protecting the phone (at least with my current cover/most I've seen) makes using a magnetic charger impossible (at least without the greater hassle of constantly removing the cover). So I'm afraid I'll have to decline.

So how do I change the theme colour?

I've found where to download icon packs, and backgrouds, but this light blue they use to show selection.

You see it when you bring down quick settings. The light blue they use to show that your wifi is on/off.

This light blue:

I came from mostly Sony's and can say this sits above Samsung, but below my Z3. Miss front facing speakers and headphone jack at the top makes more sense. Also my Z3 had better batter life.

Not really worried about battery just need to get used to using LG I guess

The default LG launcher is OK.

I'd recommend you try Aviate:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tul.aviate

Then install:

Of course if you don't have it yet, Swiftkey:

Please elaborate on the "getting used to"?

I have had the s4 and now z2. The Xperia is definitely a downgrade from the sammy s4. Only plus for sony is less bloatware.

What?

I went from Z1, to S4, to Z3.

S4 was by far worst of the lot.

In what world is the Z2 worse than the S4? You on strong medication?

Nova Launcher all the way!

I'm with ya all the way. There's something wrong with Sammy, dunno what, but there's just something.

Well never used any other phone before so will need to get used to using LG phone looks amazing feel also need to switch it on still will do it later and start playing

No. Just trying to find stronger type of grass. Meds too expensive.

Ill try and keep the list short :

Turning the phone face down to mute ringer.......... Checked settings. Useless function unless phone placed on table or hard surface. Sammy NEVER had this problem.
When opening sms history sent and recieved from the same person it would auto scroll to oldest sms. Sammy NEVER this crap.
Setting up groups and favourites in the adress book is a major pain in the ass.
S4 has a much better camera. I regularly take pics on site and its no contest between the two.
On the s4 you can sent PITA sms's to spam, no such luck with z2.
Anybody want to swap a s4 for my 6 month old z2?

I do like the fact that the z2 autoloads holidays etc when choosing region.

All in all the z2 is not bad but I'll take a s4 anyday and rather live with the bloatware and my s6 and s7 schedule meds.
