Oh that site has them for the ENV3 and they are rubber but colored and have rhinestones and the swivel belt clip is $1 more.  Has anyone ever ordered from that site, free shipping.  Wish I would have seen that when I had the 2.  Mary

This is the one I wanted. It's cheap plastic but would do the trick. And I like plaid.  :smileytongue:

Nice if you like plaid and don't need the swivel clip.  I like the rubber as it seemed sturdier to me.  I am trying to figure out of any of these have the plastic screen protector on the top of the front bit.  Maybe tomorrow I will e-mail that site and ask as those colored rubber ones would be perfect as long as it has the screen protector.  Mary

This is the pack I got:

It is in two pieces so I can use the phone normally without any problem.  it's just a simple clear plastic case to avoid putting pressure on the back.  The other stuff was just a bonus for the price...

So is the screen protector actually on the front top of the case built in or separate?   My black rubber one for the 2 the front piece had hard clear plastic on the top of that part built in so that's what I want again but something other than ugly black.  Mary

No, as far as I can tell the "screen protectors" that come with it are two separate pieces of thin plastic that you lay directly on the screens like stickers...

 

I probably won't even use them, but it doesn't hurt to have on hand I guess.

 

With the case, I was just looking for something that would protect the back battery panel, as from my research and posters here, it seems like it's a possibly vulnerable part of the ENV3, and I'm trying to do everything possible to keep the phone working...  Smiley Happy

 

But I guess those screen guard things are good to have too.

Thanks then that is not what I want.  I would rather the hard clear plastic built into the top to protect the screen.  I have to use this phone all the time now as we cancled the home phone and had that number of 20yrs. ported over to my cell so I have to make sure to take good care of the phone.  Mary

My env3 also turned itself off all the time, and I eventually figured out it was from pushing on the battery a certain way. I fixed it by carefully pulling up the battery connectors on the phone so they stick out further and apply more force to the battery. With some small pointy tools, push down on the top (flat) end of the conenctor to avoid ripping it out, then lift up the bottom (raised) part of the connector until it pops out of its pocket. The end you're trying to lift has little tabs that stick out and hold it in place that you need to pop out, so it takes some force... just make sure you keep the top pushed down so you dont tear it off completely. (The electrical connections are all at the top, the bottom tabs are just for strength) Repeat for all 4 connectors, and you should be good. Just be very careful you dont break them off!

This is it for shutting down.  We have two phones just like this, one does not do it, but mine shuts down all the time.  After reading this message about the battery, and just pressing it on the back, that is exactly why it shuts down.  I put my phone in my pocket, and the other phone (my wife's) goes in her purse, so that is why hers never shut down.  It is pretty annoying to find that its turned off without knowing, and then find out that someone has been trying to reach you.  Something LG or Verizon needs to figure out.

I got my first EnV3 on December of last year.  Within a month it was powering off about 8-12 times a day, which was extremely frustrating!  I tolerated it for a while, but got annoyed and took it to my local Verizon where they agreed to give me a new EnV3.  I've had this one for a little less than 2 months, it is now power off about 15 times per day.  I've had LG phones before and have never had so many problems!
