    Does anyone else have a protective case on their G2? If so, why is it so difficult to remove? How do you remove it? I also want to know if its possible to remove all of the apps that was pre installed by t-mobile.. all the google apps which I won't be using... if there's a way please let me know. Thanks

    I don't own a g2. If you can't remove it by uninstalling then you'll have to remove it by rooting the phone first.

    Best bet would be to check out the G2 Forums in Android Central..or just google G2 Root. I've got the Desire Z (which is the Canadian and UK versions of the G2), and there is a root available..but I haven't walked that plank yet lol.

    You cannot remove the pre-installed apps without rooting the G2. I've found that the apps are useful and haven't removed them. As far as a protective cover, I've left out without a cover so can't help you there.

    the gel skins for those things seem to discolor the casing, it's really odd and hardly noticeable, but still a curious thing.

    I have a G2.

    I use a blue hard plastic case from tmobile. I leave it on all the time.

    To get rid of preinstalled apps, you need to permanently root the g2, not just temp root.

    I have noticed on a few blogs, people talking about the oils from your hands, discoloring the plastic/paint on the bare G2s, and if you do not clean them before putting a cover on them, they will tend to continue discolor over time, due to the oil trapped under the case.

    Comparing my new G2 and a couple of ones that are a little older that friends got when they first came out, there is a noticeable difference in color. Especially in those that eat things like chips and cheese puffs or anything else that has oils in it, and then handle the phone, thinking that a quick wipe on the pants/shirt, will do ok.

    Lesson learned, once the oil gets into the paint/plastic, there is no cleaning it off/out.
