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.

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.

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................

That's how I feel about the sidieo active cases, I have had one on my sensation for almost a year now and I am still impressed by it
Is it worth the £16 in the uk? looks like just a bit of plastic to me, or is it more?
what cases do you guys recommend, i loved the casemate i had on my s2 had shockproof without to thick + had indents so phone screen didnt touch the table ect
To be honest? Not at all. But its a luxury item I suppose. If you got the extra cash, then its a good buy.

I have the official bumper on my N4 and it's quite nice. Buttons are nice and clicky and ports are all easily accessible. It's just a piece of rubber(?) with silver-colored plastic around the border, I think, but it's very attractive in design and fits the phone perfectly. Just be careful when you're putting it on if your N4 has front and back screen protectors. It has a habit of lifting the corners of my screen protector if I'm not paying attention while putting it on. It's a very minimalist case, obviously, but it's just thick enough to keep the screen/camera lens from touching anything, should you rest the phone on a flat surface.
I haven't dropped my phone to know whether it will keep it safe or not, but it's probably on part with any other slim/minimalist case.
It's more like £22 after you include postage.
I wouldn't mind so much but I didn't like the bumper at all. It made the phone too big and uncomfortable to hold.

If you want a bumper like the nexus 4 one you can buy this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Shenit-Bump...SY0K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359591734&sr=8-1
Its cheaper and its an exact replica it also has free shipping.
I personally didn't like the bumper. It's a very nice looking bumper but I hated the bulky feel of it. If it was much slimer it would have been my favorite case.

I've some bad news for you about the poetic bumper. It will come apart at the seems within a month. The glue between the rubber and the plastic began to separate after a week of handling. After 3 it was completely loose 90 percent of the way around. That's what you get for saving a little money.

You get a free replacement. Jesus.. people making a big deal out of nothing.
They send u free replacement, no questions asked. The company is at a loss replacing bumpers. Give them some respect for at least trying to make it right by having good customer support.
IMO, nothing special
I ordered one of the bumper cases and got it way back in December, and personally I didn't think it was anything special (in fact, I vastly preferred the feel of the phone without it, as the bumper rises slightly above the edge of the screen so you can no longer feel the angled glass around the sides of the phone).
So I auctioned it on eBay and someone bought it for just over £50, so I can't exactly complain

Wow! Do you not know how to read? It was stated that the new ones are improved/revised. It's a simple adhesive issue, I emailed the seller and he replied that all the units being shipped are the new ones without any issues
You're acting as if a bad transmission was designed for a new car and there are already thousands and thousands sold. It's not rocket science to fix the adhesive issue.
And for me, it's not about saving "a few dollars", I'd prefer the Google one accept I recently moved to Canada and my American credit cards don't work with buying anything at the Canadian Play Store (other than apps). My gf ordered the N4 for me as my birthday gift. As it's already a very pricey gift, I didn't want her spending any more so I told her not to buy the bumper.

the bumper doesn't make the phone much thicker. That isn't the issue. The issue is how wide the phone feels with the bumper on. It definitely is not a slim bumper in comparison to poetic's.
That's why it's called a bumper, bumper is for bumping meaning protection on impact. The thicker the better the protection, the slimmer the lesser of protection, simple like that, so stop whining and complaining if you do not understand the meaning of the words. Plus people with bigger hands will feel it comfortable and ppl with small hands most probably wouldn't like it, but that's all personal, as far as quality is concern that's the best offer on the market today regarding BUMPERS.

There's a post in the other thread that the so called "solution" did not always fix the problem, and frankly I find it hard to believe it's just about the glue. There's just not enough contact area between the rubber and the hard plastic. It's a design issue.
As for the free replacement. it's still annoying having to get one in the first place. Don't they test drive their own products?

Exactly like you said, everyone has different opinion upon the thickness of the bumper. We are all just chipping in our own views.
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...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
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 got the case you are considering but it has yet to arrive in the post which is annoying as i won't take my N4 outside without some sort of case.
Will let you know once i get it which should hopefully be later today or tomorrow.
There is no case that won't compromise its looks, simple as that. Even with the Ringke Fusion.. sure, you can see the back, but through plastic. And the rest is still TPU.. and in reality it doesn't look as flawless and nice as in the renders. There's always a compromise.
You could go for more minimalistic cases such as the quicksand ones. I'm currently using one of them and I really like its look and feel because it doesn't change it as much (I also have a diztronic tpu case which I'll only be using for when I expect rougher conditions, e.g. travel, hiking or whatever). But it comes at the cost of less protection for the device.
It's a matter of what you prioritize and what risks you're willing to take for better look and feel.

that is one ugly cheap case...
It's certainly cheap, but I much prefer it to my diztronic tpu case (http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_76&products_id=303). The material feels very nice and not plastic-y (a bit like jeans, I'd say) and it hardly adds any bulk, which tpu cases do. I also really dislike the shiny border around the edge most tpu cases have, cause that does look pretty cheap.
I personally ordered it cause I was looking for a different case and this one seemed like a very low-risk option, and I ended up liking it a lot. Your mileage may vary, obviously.

I had a similar type case on my nexus for a few months and it was great. Had a really great feel to it and it actually looks pretty darn sharp when it's on the phone. Doesn't look cheap at all. :good:
thanks, but I think I'll stick with the Ringke Fusion case. I like the clear back.
U can't go wrong with the oem bumper. It offers protection on all edges and prevents both front and back from laying directly on surfaces. I've had it on my white N4 since purchase and i don't have a scratch. Not to mention I am constantly subject to compliments and questions peeked by its sexy appearance.

I personally would go with bumper case and maybe add a screen protector on both sides (something like Ghost Armor or Zagg or dBrand skin if you want to go a bit more expensive, OR just get something like XtremeGuard for the back for a cheap alternative - XtremeGuard costs me about $2 for front and back :laugh: )

Your phone keep with the original look protected, if you want a litle more prtection 2 skins one on the back and other on the front.

Ditto. Unless you're extraordinarily clumsy, the OEM bumper should provide plenty of protection. I've had my Nexus 4 with bumper since December of last year and it has survived many drops. It's even survived a drop onto concrete, complete with a few bounces, with no scratch. The crack that my Nexus 4 has came from when I took the case off momentarily and then it dropped about a foot and a half onto the soft part of an open binder. >_<
OEM bumper + front and back clear skins. Everything else is hideous.
Currently using the Incipio Feather, but I have to admit that the N4 pretty much only looks good caseless.
Tried the official bumper, but it just didn't stick either.

Exactly. Coming from a person who has never liked or had cases on their devices - I just got the OEM bumper in the mail yesterday, and I'm stunned at how good it looks. It actually makes the phone look nicer with the aluminium accents, and protects it rather well.
What do you suggest?
Alright so I'm a little late to the Nexus 4 party, but after much delay, I finally decided to upgrade from my archaic Vibrant and order a shiny new N4. Although it hasn't come in just yet, I was interested to know what cases you guys might suggest. You see here's my dilemma... I know for a fact that the Ringke Slim and other like cases are a major no-no for me. They offer too little protection and from what I've heard, leave the very top and bottom of the device exposed. I would get the OEM bumper as it's very attractive, but I've read many, many, many reviews that note its fragility--specifically around the USB port, which apparently is prone to cracking. I'm also considering the Ringke Fusion as it seems to be a popular choice, or the possibility of going with a wallet style case, as I won't need a screen protector then.
However I'm very torn, as there are so many options and so many drawbacks...
What do you guys think? Is the OEM bumper really all that fragile? Does it break as a result of removing the phone from it or does it crack completely on its own? Should I not even consider the OEM bumper case and go with something much more durable (i.e. the Ringke Fusion, wallet case)? Should I just go naked!?!? (referring to the phone of course )
Thanks in advance! Looking forward to hearing some feedback!
I thought it useful to create this. I ordered three slim cases and will post them as soon as they arrive. Looking forward to seeing what other people ordered as slim cases...
I will probably get a Pitaka case.
Using one on my iPhone and it’s very slim and grippy.

I'd order anything that is clear case to show off $1100 phone instead of hiding it behind ugly case that hides it beauty.

Ringke Fusion. I like the cases with the hard plastic back. They are usually a little more clear than the full TPU case and I really want to show off this Aura Glow color.
I've already ordered the Pitaka case. I love it on my S10+, almost as close to going naked as a skin.

I'm sure there are videos but I am at work, with a case that small and rigid do you really get much fall protection?

Basically none, but I don't want it for that. I just want it so when I set the phone down I'm not worried about the camera getting scratched. The case is just thick enough to make the camera sit flush.
Also the case has built-in metal plates to work with magnetic car mounts and it still allows wireless charging to work.

I have the air and fusion as well. Using the air right now because it's a little slimmer than the fusion and the fit is pretty solid. My blue still shows through nicely but it does makes the color less bold if that makes sense. So far I like the fit and look of it though. Doesn't add much bulk to the device.
