[Q] New N4 Owner - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I picked up my N4 2 days ago at a local store, and I am in love with it however with the lack of accessories since its so new, is there a place I can order the genuine OEM bumper protectore that google play is selling? They are sold out online, just wondering if theres any other places that would carry it.
I also was wondering which screen protector should I use on this?
I am considering, Ghost Armor, XO Skin, or Spigen.
I am leaning towards Spigen, hwoever I have never used that before or XO skin.
Help me make a pick
Thanks!

I'll sell you mine as i never use it, I can't stand the velcro and I think the grey is really ugly. Or if you had a mogul, the touch pro will fit in the leather case that the mogul came in. PM me if you are interested.
P.S. I know I'm not that active on this site but we can do the deal through paypal so it is secure and I'm extremely active on smartphonejunkie.com...just postin so you know I won't scam you
Which case are you after? My VFUk TouchPro came with a leather tube that does not have a belt clip... I bought a black case HTC case from www.expansys.co.uk which uses velcro to seal - not ideal but am using for now - I have a couple of TyTii cases which use a magnet to keep them closed... only problem is they are a little on the large side... then again so am I + I like my ladies a little on the large side... Just my luck to end up living with a skinny, fridget, short arsed, *****...
she has just read this as I am writing this on the sofa - nothing for me again tonight...

Sprint HTC Touch Pro Accessories

http://www.thepocketsolution.com/Me...=CTGY&Category_Code=sprint_herman_accessories
I stubbled accross this rich site while browsing the internet, thought I would share.
What I am wondering is what do the crystal cases they sell look like on the phone? Red crystal? Smoke crystal? Black crystal? Blue crystal? Sounds like it could be quite interesting...
Also they have TWO extended batteries for sale? One is 59.99, the other is 49.99?
None has heard of these options?
Do send them an email and ask them if these will fit the CDMA version of the phone. Remember, the CDMA version is slightly different then the GSM version! I ordered two plastic case for my Sprint TP only found out it won't fit because the size differences between the CDMA and GSM model.
ASK before buying. BTW go Sprint's B&M or online store, they have the Technocel case with belt clip for $25. Anti-slip and fits nicely.
I would beware of that "flip type case" on that site. It "looks" just like the one from PDair and it is squirrely in that the flap the snap is on does not quite go all the way around the top of the device so you have to tug on it to get it snapped and the one from PDair tends to come unsnapped. MANY of these type cases are actually made by a company that you can find on the web called "Monaco" and Monaco brands them for whomever wants to sell them. I'm pretty sure Monaco also makes the aluminum case they have on that site also. I am pretty sure it damaged the side of my TP and now the stylus is hard to pull out.
garbage
that site sucks

There are a couple of cases I found at Best Buy that seem to be a reasonable fit:

Also Vaja makes some cases that might work. They can be expensive, and shipping really increases expense. However, they are well made:

That's the OEM style I was looking for. Thx! Just have to find it in stock now.
if u go to a local sprint store.. u can get the actual HTC embroided Touch Pro case for $14.99
Nice options posted so far, but I'm holding out for a spring clip holster from www.seidioonline.com. Had one of those for my Tilt and it's the best thing ever. Very quick to retrieve device off your belt and you don't have to unfold a case to look at/start using the device.
I like that brando leather case and clear plastic case but I wonder about the clips on the plastic case breaking.
Here are some more links I have found and some are prob already posted on the xda site..

I just hate to have to open a pouch to pull the phone out/open it after I take it off my belt. Like to be able to take off belt, open, text, replace on belt within 15 seconds or so.
Body Glove Case:

Don't know if anyone uses Ebay or not, but I've found a pretty good case on there, and I've yet to find it somewhere else. Free ship, plus free ship on a return [if nec.], so it seems okay to me. Not expensive neither.

Original pouch sucked for tp. So for my fuze, I ordered this:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000489&products_id=12333
My only worry with these cases is that it doesn't say or show what type of lining the inside of these leather cases have...That is a concern IMO...
Great links guys, but i think im gonna order the Original Pouch that came with the Touch Pro, for my Fuze :-D
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=170921
(Thanks to migsims for the link, ive been looking for that original pouch on sale for weeks :-D)
Does anyone have the bodyglove? I was wondering if it was hard to push the bottom menu with fingers?

They have these at Target for $8. I picked one up as the Fuze fits in there very nicely and I needed something to use until I find a better case. It would really be ideal if the belt clip were better. But for $8, its a steal.

Hi:
By any chance do you have a picture of what this case looks like? And, do you by any chance know the Sprint item number? I can't find it online, and would like to call around to see if any Sprint stores in my area have one.
Thanks!

HTC OEM Case: Will it work for Fuze?

The case below is a horizontal pouch style. I am curious about the fit. IT was originally marketed with the HTC Touch Dual styled devices. Do you guys think it would be a good fit for the Fuze?
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-OEM-E...14&_trkparms=72:1240|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318
The other option for me is another OEM case shown here:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=169487&partner=wmusfroogle
If anyone has either of these cases I would really like your comments on fit. I expect the finish will be similar to the finish of the HTC OEM Tytn case that I currently carry. Any help is appreciated as i need to protect her soon. My front pocket is not the ideal carry spot for me and the Tytn case is simply too big for the Fuze.
I'm using the S322 case, magnetic closure instead of velcro, for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Raphael 300).
Bit tight in the early days, but works like a charm.
You mention that yours has a magnetic closure instead of velcro. Did they release both variants? Where did you purchase from and how did you ensure that you got the right one.
I bought it at a mobile phone shop in the nearest city, don't remember which one...
It was in an original HTC blister packaging, they removed it so I could try it on my Vario IV.
As I already stated, a tight fit, so I handed over 16 € and left them the blister packaging
It has one magnet, not as powerfull as the two in the TyTN case but strong enough.
Don't know about the velcro closure, it's not mentioned on the Dutch site, it's mentioned on the UK site and the Expansys site. (who are running the European htc accessory store)
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, most US dealers never carry OEM cases, and I am forced to buy online sight unseen. I like a snug fit that develops into a perfect fit as you've described so I guess I just need to make my purchase.

I actually saw the oem htc side case in BestBuy o.o In cell phones accessories. They had 100's of em! I was in shock. Never had I seen htc accessories in best buy. I found invisibleSHIELD and BodyGuardz for the iPhone and diamond too

Was this the only one they had?

I have the one from the Best Buy link. It came with an HTC phone I bought some time ago. I can't even remember which one. BUT, alas it is simple too big for the Fuze.

It's like the first one, but it fits the fuze. I mean I almost bought it, but it was $32. And sorry, this was in Cali.

Guys,
I will go to BestBuy to check this out in further detail. But in the meantime...
@Venelar,
Please post some photos of the phone in the case and out. I would love to see as many as you could post.
EDIT:
I went by my local BestBuy, and sure enough that is the exact case that I already have. IMNSHO that case is too large for the phone. I will be trying to secure the HTC PO S322.
Guys, I was on the HTC Forum where I saw this "customizable leather" case and some glowing reviews. It seems to be nice enough, and thought I would see any of the xda family had picked one up. I have never ween it mentioned here so I thought you guys would want to know. I think I'll order one.

I just ordered one of the A1 cases. Did you get your case? how was it?
I purchased this soft pouch case ( http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...=organic&utm_term=POS322&utm_campaign=froogle ) from the store in NYC. It's a tight fit at first, it even peeled away my screen protector (2 of them) at first but it becomes just right after awhile. The velcro could be a bit better too...

Does anyone know of a decent protective case for the Touch Pro

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers
I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.
The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...
