I got mine used.

The backs replaceable, so I can just buy a leather back for $10

It's transparent, it shows what's under it, how is that nicer?

Dunno, I'm just trying to come up with a logical reasoning for it

I personally prefer metallic or leather back

leather was cheaper here

I don't mind scratches

No glass back shows what's actually behind it, what the fuck dude

As long as it's durable

My friend got one for 355 dollars

no leather is not durable on the LG

@tablecat I don't mean internals

But I believe his included a regular cover

Plastic is ergh, cause sweat and whatnot

for when that breaks

They used some cheap cow leather, probably scraps I dont know

To have something durable you should have the same as in car seats, bar chairs etc

which I've seen on Motorola

Well, once that leather layer falls off, there's the plastic behind it

Still better than most plastic/glass backs

Plastic is objectively better, guess what chinkpads are made out of

Not metal

Metal frame in my chinpads

chinkpad*

Mine too

Yeah, that's a frame

The casing is plastic

it cracked in two places

dont buy this shit model

lesson learnt

No matter what material is best, I'd feel better running around with cheap shit, as I don't feel bad when it inevitably breaks. Especially when the cheap shit is actually bretty gud.

Yeah, the Redmeme is decent

I tried it out and the MIUI rom felt pretty ok

Hard to beat at 120 bucks

Yeah, I really like MIUI.
If it was available for the G4, I'd probably use it.

I'd prefer if it had an app drawer, though

Well, I AM installing Nova Launcher no matter what.

But I'll most likely buy one for my mother, once her Nexus 4 breaks down

The no-app-drawer style seems to suit older people more

Plus it's cheap, so whatevs
