Is it possible to put the lg optimistic g HD screen protector by zag on a nexus 4? I know they are the same size with same cut outs. Has anybody tried this? The reason I am asking is that they are already available at best buy so no waiting

They don't look the same to me at all? I mean look at the form factor, the Optimis G is rounded corners and a flat screen. Nexus is more rounded with a curved screen.
ZAGG has ones made just for the N4, but not the HD one you are looking for:

I went to the zagg stand at my local mall looking for the same. The HD zagg screen protectors are soooo nice and smooth. They said the best they could do is a custom cut, but Im uneasy about that, afraid it would come out looking crappy.
I had a custom cut one done for me using a HD invisible shield for the iPad 3. $20 and wow its nice!

What's the difference between the HD skin and the Screen protectors they already sell?

Yeah the HD is much better than the original Zagg, too bad they don't sell it cut for the Nexus 4.
Probably because the Nexus 4 is only carried by a few carriers worldwide.
Ah thanks guys.
I think I'll get one of the Max protect ones today before their 50% off sale ends tonight. This way, at least the back is also protected and I can just replace the front with the HD one if they ever make it.
Has anybody received theirs yet?
I received mine the front & back its it looks really clear but I think the HD would be better and it covers the back really nice.

Thanks for the pics!
I've only ever used the original ZAGG so I don't know anything about the HD version.
I guess ZAGG's new way of dealing with the proximity sensors and front facing cam is to just leave a cutout to the edge. I liked their old style of making it cover everything but those sensors/cam. Hmph.
Got my ZAGGs today!!!

This is my Nexus 4 with a HD invisible shield that was cut from a zagg kiosk. The pics look not so good but trust me it looks amazing. The dust in the pics is from my lens.

Is it better than xtremeguard in your opinion
I haven't tried extreme guard before. I have always stuck with Zagg.

I put on best skin ever, skin and then when I made a call the phone wouldn't lite up to see the hang up button. So I took skin off tested call it worked with skin off. I then put screen protector by Lumii Ark (great screen protector) and the same in call experience.
I haven't taken the protector off yet simply looking for a fix. I know that there are the two sensors on the upper left corner. It is polished clean and the protector is crystal clear. Any thoughts or similar experience?

Yup, pretty much. Or you can use scissors
I tried scissors with the skin and ruined the skin. I appreciate both responses. Have either of you had to fix this with ur N4 I have had a lot of androids and never any issues like this with the sensor being covered by screen protector.
I'll consider the hole punch. But would have to buy another screen protector. Sigh

Liberate yourself and go without the screen protector. I've used screen protectors on all my previous phones from the HTC Sensation, Galaxy SII, Galaxy SIII, and Galaxy Nexus.
When the Nexus 4 was announced I sold my SIII and picked up a Galaxy Nexus for relatively cheap. I decided that since the Galaxy Nexus was going to become my backup phone I'd go without a case or screen protector. Over the past 3 weeks of using the phone this way I've really grown to appreciate the phone "naked". Now I really could never go back to covering these beautiful phones with a case or screen protector again. I haven't been babying the phone like I normally would and it doesn't have a single scratch anywhere on it.
I'm really looking forward to using the Nexus 4 without any protection and enjoying it for what it is. Worst case, if I drop it and it gets damaged I'll shell out the ~$160 for a replacement from Google. I made enough profit from selling the SIII (which I put away just in case) to easily cover the cost of a replacement if necessary. For me, this is plenty peace of mind to enjoy the phone with no protection.
Just my $0.02.
Fair enough. I already bought a case I'll get first week of Dec. I have had the phone since the 18th so I know the awesome naked feeling u speak of.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I want a flip to car that leaves the screen bare when open. I will just use the case when I think the phone needs added protection.
I do not really like anything that is on the touch screen but I may put a transparent shield on the back glass.
sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my back ordered Nexus 4!
I ordered my 16gb yesterday, sweet, and it is due to arrive in 1-2 weeks.
I ordered a ZAGG front and back protection. My questions is, does anyone use the zagg on the N4??
I am hoping it will combat the drops that will without a doubt take place.
thanks...

As soon as my factory plastic rubbed off back of phone I went to BB and got a cut yourself Zagg front and back. Back fits perfectly ( minus my lack of cutting skills. Front was however about 2/5th an inch too short.) Looks decent and I actually have a case coming and will probably get a different front at some point but it works for now.

It's a popular screen protector.

They have an orange-peel like texture that's pretty love it or hate it but they provide good protection and minor scratches resolve themselves over time.
I had one on my galaxy nexus. It worked well for a while but the edges gradually became very dirty, so I switched to an XO skin.

Very similar yes...in fact most of the time I prefer the BSEs as well, however, I'm looking for a bit more grip on the back of my N4 so I went with the Zagg. They are quite a bit more sticky so they improve grip. I actually bought both a BSE and a Zagg so I'll compare, but I know what the BSE feels like since I have it on the back of my iPad Mini. It's pretty slippery, which is why I bought a Zagg after it was released.

There isnt really a "best" case as someone will have a different opinion in certain design of feature the case will have over another.
Check out the Nexus 4 Accessories thread there is a lot as well as a sticky on the current cases out:

Im using diztronic and find it to not add much bulk to it.
If TPU gel cases are fine then Cruzerlite is pretty good. They are a bit expensive but if you buy two, you can usually get one for free from them.
Wish there was a tpu case with button cutouts
You should obviously get the new xda-developers case by cruzerlite. They look awesome

I like the quality and fit of the Nillkin cases, come with a screen protector too. Obviously an 'engineered' product when you fit one on.

Nillkin is a very nice and fitted case but it would not protect it from a drop... Just learned that the hard way earlier today... Although it appears it covers the corner bezel... Mine managed to be chipped right next to the case. Today is a sad day

I just cant see myself using a flip case. It seems like it'll get in the way, but I like the idea of having your wallet combined with it,
Mine should be here soon. If you order do it on Amazon, they have a discount code in the description which will give you ten dollars off the price. I didn't see it till after I ordered it so check that out.

Got one
I have had one for a couple of weeks now. I really like it. My cards are easy to pull out of the slots. The leather has broken in at the spine and it folds over great. It doesn't honestly get in the way of using the phone personally. My only complaint is it gets a little thick with some cards in it. I have 3 cards in it and I can hardly fit it in my pockets. Granted my pants pockets are on the slim fitting side. I usually just carry it around or put it in my jacket pocket. So far I am impressed with it, except it takes a little work to get it out of the case. I am always afraid I am going to scratch or chip that chrome ring around the front of the phone when I pull it out of the case.
Would you guys minds putting up some be pictures, thanks!

Ive been doing a lot of reading and havent seen too much in depth talk about the n4 with a zagg and case. Seems like every case i get bubbles my zagg around the edges as they currently dont have a "case friendly" one. Ive used zaggs for a long time and i really dont want to switch to anything else but this is getting frustrating and expensive. lol. So with that what cases are you guys using with a zagg?
no one uses a zagg with a case these days? :silly:
Zagg is a complete rip-off. I use XtremeGuard and a diztronic case. You'll love it.

I am quite satisfy with zagg and i may try another protector someday. But for now, it protects my phone perfectly.
I am using zagg with an Acase which I also wrote a review already. You may find it in this 4rum.

It's a matter of patience. I hate putting on screen protectors. I really do. I started from the top to align the earpiece, proximity sensor and front camera. And when you use the case, you have to wedge the phone in so the case won't lift up the protector. If your case has a lip around the edges that will help a lot.
