Cheers

I'd love to have a bumper for my gt540 but i fear there's no such thing.. i'm keeping my optimus in a "softbag" in order to protect the display.

Does any one use those plastic rubber coated hard covers (like those in the picture)?
And are they any good?

i am using it...the black one...its very good. But, it's not particularly good, because if I want to put it in my pocket, it just does not go particularly smoothly, it is still silicone.But otherwise, quite good.

ebay

you can find LG cases from ebay. There are plenty of types and all optimized for our model.

just look for LGT GT540 + type of case you are looking for.

Over the years have used lots of different cases and pouches, silicon, leather, velvet, hardplastic, and rubber had them all, and most where pretty crappy. But now bought a tpu (Thermoplastic Polyurethanes) case from ebay, and its just great makes the phone much more solid without loss of usability. doesnt protect the screen when in my pocket. but have a screenprotector for that. Only had to cut out a little piece around usbport so original usb cable would fit
