I placed an order yesterday from HP’s website and there was no discount as such, I paid around USD 718 (converting from local currency). I’m from India and G2 is hard to get here since it almost always remains out of stock. Even yesterday I saw it in stock for the first time in last 3 months that I’ve been tracking and I immediately placed an order after hearing from folks in this thread. Not surprised that it’s again out of stock today 
.
As of now I’ve limited understanding of how it will fit and things like that but surely I’ll keep VRCover in mind. I’ll receive it sometime next week but I must say it feels like an eternal wait.
