![LG V10 Case, OBLIQ [Shock Absorption][Flex Pro] [Black] Slim Fit Scratch Resist Protective Case for LG V10](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61RnBzirSsL.__AC_SY300_SX300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
Extraordinary case so far. AN AESTHETIC MASTERPIECE. The fit is perfect, not the least bit loose. What amazes me the most is that the case is a near perfect clone of the back cover of the LG V10 that is made by LG itself, but with one major improvement. Although I love the look of the stainless steel sides of the LG V10, they are VERY SLIPPERY, especially if your phone is laying face down on a flat surface and you try to pick it up. But this case totally solves that problem. The sides of the case cover the stainless steel bars with a textured material that makes it very easy to pick up the phone, and much more comfortable to hold the phone (unless you like gripping cold, slippery steel while using your phone). IMO, the back of the case both feels and looks exactly like the original back cover that comes with the LG V10. Based on some of the negative reviews posted on here, I did not think that would be true. But it is.
Now, I have no idea how good this case protects in the event of a fall. I have not dropped my LG V10 since I received my case on Black Friday. However, I had a Spiegen clear case on my previous phone, a LG G3. I dropped that phone on a ceramic tile floor at least 5 times. The screen never cracked (I also had a Zagg tempered glass screen protector on it). The OBLIQ case feels just as thick and well constructed as that Spiegen case. So I am hopeful that it will do just as good of a job at protecting my cell phone. I am also going to add a Zagg tempered glass screen protector to my LG V10 but so far the local Best Buy does not carry it. I believe the combo of the Zagg and the OBLIQ will do the job.
Again, my favorite feature of this case is its exact look & feel (but with better sides) of the original back cover of the LG V10. I just don't understand why cell phone manufacturers make gorgeous looking cell phones but make them so fragile that you typically have to go buy a case (often an ugly case) that conceals the beauty of the phone. Why buy a beautiful cell phone that you have to cover up?? I nearly bought the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge + but did not do so for just that reason. It is a gorgeous cell phone, the most beautiful of any on the market, but also has both a glass front and a glass back. Which leaves you with no choice but to go buy a case that will conceal that beauty from not only the eye of others but even your own eye. OBLIQ seems to be the only case manufacturer that understands that paradox, and to have solved it, very much to my satisfaction so far.
As for the fingerprint sensor not working when the case is on my LG V10, I have no idea since I have not tried it yet and probably will not for medical reasons pertaining to a need to make my phone easily accessible by first responders if needed.
EDIT: 11/30/15 -- With the help of a great video on YouTube, I just tried to set up the fingerprint scanner. Doing so was a piece of cake. And this case by OBLIQ does not interfere with using the fingerprint scanner at all. On a different note, I haven't checked yet but I am hoping that OBLIQ also makes a white case. If so, that will be awesome. I will be able to have a black phone one day, a white one the next, and back & forth as I desire. That is BRILLIANT! Companies like OBLIQ that know how to adapt like that are the kind of nimble and far sighted competitors that will thrive. (And no, I do not work for or own stock in OBLIQ, though I wish I did own their stock. I am just a very happy customer who rarely writes reviews unless a product maker truly wows me. Except for books, of course, since I am an author.)
EDIT: 12/02/15 TIP ON GETTING THE FINGERPRINT SCANNER TO WORK WITH THIS CASE -- Be sure to press your finger on the scanner at different angles rather than at exactly the same angle each time. Also, add a second print for the scanner but use the same finger you used the first time. That will give the scanning software a very thorough record of that finger. Also, when I set up my finger, the process repeatedly got stuck in the 60 percentile range. Don't give up, it just takes several more tries when you get stuck in a percentile range (to a lesser extent, I also got stuck in the 40s). I think a lot of the reviewers who are saying the fingerprint scanner will not work with this case are just giving up too easily and/or using the exact same angle each time they tap their finger on the scanner. In addition of tapping the sensor with the exact middle of your finger tip each time, also tap with your finger tip rolled a small to the sides. IMO, this case is not the problem, the problem is their method of tapping the scanner. And don't be surprised if it takes 100 times or more of tapping your finger. Also, don't tap too hard.

The fingerprint scanner works about 10% of the time with the case as it is. The only fix is to be physically touching the metal strips on the side of the phone itself, which this case covers entirely. Rescanning after the case is installed Does Nothing! I like the look and feel of this case, but not using the fingerprint scanner is a dealbreaker. I started the returns process, then realized that all the cases are going to do the same as this one. Until some part of a case can allow the metal strips to be grounding through your hand. So I looked at spots around the edges of the case where my fingers consistently rest, took a razor from a utility knife, and carved out a spot on the right side where either my right thumb or left middle finger would land. The hole exposes the metal strip, but is small enough that I don't feel like I defeated the protection of the case. I shaved the sides of it to smooth it, tried the fingerprint scanner without rescanning, and found that it worked like a champ.The other option that I figured out first was to slide my thumb against the screen to push it just barely to the side til it touched the metal, and that worked perfectly, too. I just wanted to not have to think about it so much.Everything else about this case, especially for the dime, is five star. It costs a star to have to alter it in any way to get it to do an essential function.
