  1. Where can I purchase a Blu V50 protective cover skin case? I searched online Can’t find any on ebay google Blu web. Best buy sells the phone and the protective case is included with new phone. Contacted them but they don’t sell just the protective case. Anyone know where to purchase? Is another BLU model the same.

  2. Thank you Stephen. I’m looking at that AMAZON case. Might get it. Good to know the Blu G50 plus matches the Blu v50. I like the case that comes with the new Blu v50 sold at Best Buy. I’ll keep watching. Maybe someone will sell theirs. Dan

  5. I paid 149 for this phone at best buy and I have been having issues with finding a network to cover it I had simple mobile now they are saying they don’t cover this phone
