Find a source to buy a wallet case for an LG K8 2018 phone.

Sep 15, 2018 12:36AM PDT

I have a new LG K8 ( 2018 ) smartphone but I'm having trouble finding a nice case for it. Otterbox doesn't stock one; Best Buy doesn't stock one nor does Walmart but there are many listings on eBay; most of which would ship their cases directly from China to me if I ordered one and Amazon.com also has many listings.

Does anyone know of any good USA based cell phone accessory company or companies that might stock a good variety of cases; either a wallet style case or a folio style case for many different types of smartphones besides an iPhone or another flagship phone? Also is installing a screen protector on the phone a good investment or is it not needed if you're very careful with handling your electronics?

Here are many local shops selling phone cases. No need to go to the web for me. Would that be an alternative for you also?
And what's wrong with amazon.com?

There's nothing wrong with Amazon.com; I have bought several items off of Amazon.com; it just so happens I'm on Amazon.com right now looking at wallet style and folio style cell phone cases for an LG K8 ( 2018 ) smartphone.

There are several nice ones I like; a few dark blue ones and some dark brown ones but if I ordered any one of the cases I'm looking at tonight Amazon.com says not to expect delivery until mid to late October 2018; they must be coming on a slow boat from China.

As for local shops there is one in a mall here which I might go and check out. Again there's nothing wrong with Amazon.com; I enjoy shopping on Amazon.com but I don't want to order something from Amazon.com and have to wait a month to get it.
