I really like the seidio active with kickstand cases, I know they made cases for the past nexus phones and the active case foe my sensation has been hands down the best case I ever owned for any phone, and I have gone through lots of cases.
.
So what case does everyone else want to see?
I'd like to know if having a case will prevent wireless charging...
I'd probably get the bumper. I don't want to cover up the cool looking glass back but I want something for a little protection from drops and to cover up what looks to be a really scratchable chrome ring.

I would think the right material and thickness It would still charge through the case,but if that's an issue the D3o band cases (i think that's what they are called should still work
how
i think that's good
I always get a $2 TPU case off ebay for my phones, hopefully that comes out quickly

This. Or whichever case I can find locally that appeals to me. Honestly I never really care about brand for cases at least. It's more about their appearance and performance.
Can't see a OtterBox letting you perform that function, but some of their stuff has openings on the back, so maybe they'll take the charging adapter into consideration. What kills me about Otterbox, is they never answer a question. I realize they get tons of requests, but is it too hard to put a coming soon on their site for upcoming popular units? They have Twitter and FB, so you would think................
I really want a green androidified tpu case by Cruzerlite. I hope they make it quickly.
SGP bumper. Once you go them it's hard not to notice the detail that goes into design....
Bumper or a Body Glove - I really like their cases.

I really like the elago breathe cases that have been on my previous phones, so that would probably be the case of my choice.

Hi guys,
Does anyone know of any tempered glass screen protector for the nexus 4 preferably for both the front and back?
I'd hate to put a case on the nexus 4 as most of them add a lot of bulk and aren't very nice.
Xgear is taking preorders for their glass screens. It's only the front though.

Looking to combine with a bumper? Why not a full back case?
You should send Xgear an email or something, suggest a tempered glass back as well, from my experience with accessories companies they are always looking for interest in other product ideas.
I would love a case that has a bumper feel but with a glass back.

the nexus 4 is a beautiful phone without a case, i have tried the bumper and slim cases currently available and it just makes the phone look uglier.
i may just end up emailing them, but i doubt they would make one just because of my request, even though I would be willing to pay a lot for it,
A glass protector for the front and back would be simply amazing and would allow me to keep the true beauty of the phone intact!

I asked them a while back and they said they were looking into it.
I think the problem they're having is that there is nowhere for a back protector to adhere to. They hide the adhesive on the front protector behind the colored black/white panel, and if there's nothing like that on the back, they'll have to figure something out.
I'm not sure how SGP does it with the glass ones for the iPhone 4.

I remember when they were taking preorders for GNex the OP showed a video of applying it on the iPhone 4/4S and it was a clear protector that used static or something and could be applied and reapplied. Also SGP probably uses the same clear adhesive that are on their other screen protectors. I would like xgear to offer a comprehensive front and back packages as well, but they never like to rush things to market.
I also asked them I guess we have to just be patient

Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:
I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:
I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.
Cheers!

Hello, I hope you're doing well.
Is there a consensus on the best protective Nexus 4 case? I've spent hours looking through cases and reading reviews, but haven't been able to find a case that provides the utmost protection, such as Lifeproof and Otterbox cases. The closest I've been able to find is a Ballistic case.
If there isn't a consensus, can I get some recommendations, please? Thank you very much.
Vic
There's no obvious answer but I would imagine it would be this or maybe this if you consider that more protective.

Thanks for the reply! These look like viable options, but I'm still looking for an all-protection case that can actually take phone drops, just in case.

Thanks for the help; I did mention the Ballistic case in my original post (I just couldn't provide a direct link). It's helpful to see another member confirm that the Ballistic case is a good one.
I plan to place an order for this Ballistic case once it comes back in stock, unless I find a better case.
It looks like the Ballistic case doesn't come with a screen protector, so I ended up getting a XtremeGuard protector for $3 (protection for both front and back) using code 70OFF. My research shows that Zagg and Best Skins Ever have better screen protectors, but their prices are significantly higher.
Vic
Right now Im running a bumper (well, the girlfriend, who is a phonebreaker, is running it because she is waiting for her substantial case to arrive) but I was wondering if there were other options.
Most times Im running naked and only using the bumper in situations when I thought there was real risk. The main reason is because i love the cascading touch screen, it feels much better working on the phone without my thumb crashing into the lip of a bezel or case when swiping/typing.
So my question is, has anyeone seen a case that clips onto the phone holding only onto the top/bottom (and corners) but maybe only going up half or less of the sides, as to not interfere with the drop off effect of the screen?
I think if I had something like that I would be more willing to run the case more often. I know it couldn't be a bumper, it would need a back to support the sides and I am prepared to live with not seeing the blingy back.
I've been looking for this too! Haven't found a case like that yet...

I asked exactly this same question, and the answer is that no one has made such a case yet. However, I did buy the rearth ringke slim case, which grips the sides, but very shallow, and it is pretty good. You don't bump the sides until you are about three fourths of the way down the bevel.

I use this case only in my car or in my pocket. When i get home it takes me 3" to remove it or put it back on. And i don't like screen or back protectors.
