I grabbed my first LG recently. It's an Optimus L9. It was only 100 bucks after rebate and I'm happy with it. I'm not a power user or anything. It's only my second "smart" phone, but it does more than I need and does it well.

How can you control the volume and such when it's in a case? I'd be concerned about using it at the gym, in that it would be difficult.

The cases are made with a cutout in the back for the button/camera housing.

For those that don't know, Verizon cheapened the phone from high end for their version. So worth remembering if you're on Verizon.

I did mine on T-Mobile. They have it at 99 down. I use them because of their Wi-Fi calling feature. Cell phones don't get signal in my house so this was a must.

LG phones are pretty nice. I just have a Venice, but it is pretty cool.

Sure, but what I was really getting at was in the second part of my question, which I structured poorly. If you're using it while you're running or working out or something, and it's on your arm, the inability to access physical buttons would be supremely annoying. Is there a workaround for that, besides using the screen (not always an easy option) or headphones with a built in volume controller (again, not my favorite thing to use)?

Other than for the workout band aspect, I love this configuration. It took me a day to get used to it but it honestly feels so intuitive now and I'm kinda surprised that someone hasn't done this already.

Checking back in to say that I really like my Optimus L9. Battery life is great. Does everything I want and then some. Great phone for $100.
