No but you can try the Note II Seidio holsters, but I haven't seen or tried it myself. I was tempted, but once my Cruzerlite XDA case came in, I never took it off lol. And that fits in the Surface Seidio holster for the N4. But saying that I did post up a pic of my universal leather holster that fit the N4 with the bumper when I tried it out the second time I ordered the bumper to double check I indeed did not like using the bumper lol.
Compare the dimensions of the measurements of the N4 with the bumper and compare it with the likes of the Note II. I never pursued it myself because the bumper was just too wide to hold in one hand and operate at the same time. But that's me.
GL and post again if you find something!
Whenever someone mentions a phone holster, I recall that youtube video featuring a Japanese man with a iPhone quick draw mechanism.
Anyway, I am surprised that phone holsters aren't becoming more popular with the increasing screen size. Can you imagine fitting the 8" Note down your pocket? Good grief. Still, getting a bigger pair of jeans is easier than trying to smuggle these phones into prisons...

Hello,
I recently got the Nexus 4 and am pondering which case to get?
I am extremely worried about the glass back and am wondering if the bumper case will do any good in protecting the Nexus.
I drop my phone sometimes, usually the phone slides and scratches a great deal. An example is when I went running with my HTC EVO LTE, and dropped it. I dropped it on the road and it scratched up the whole front of the phone. Of course, I had no case on at that time.
What are the best cases I can buy for the Nexus 4 without it becoming huge? I prefer the bumper case, but am wondering if it will offer any real protection.
Poetic Bumper Case
Rearth Slim
Diztronic

Ionic guardian case. It's very similar to otter box, but a lot cheaper. Very good at protecting the phone, it's a beast!
Maybe a bit ugly for some though.

if you want a slim case then best option would be Rearth case. I have it and it is very slim almost feels like without one but protected
Definitely the original bumper. If only there is stock though
I would also go with the original bumper.

I would go with google bumper and screen protectors on front and back... dont use the zagg lol... I am using matte ghost armor on the back and the spigen on the front for a dynamic duo lol
If you are prone to dropping phones the only thing that will protect it is a full coverage case like an otterbox, which will add bulk. I have the poetic bumper and it offers enough protection for me but I have yet to drop a smartphone.
How would you guys rate the Poetic Bumper in terms of protection? I've too decide between that and the Ringke case.
Just so you are aware, there is an entire Nexus 4 Accessories Forum here on XDA... tons of reviews and information on cases.
stock google bumper! looks sexy, the others just don't compare! course i don't have one :lol:

Some people complain about it being too bulky but I never used one so I cannot comment
Looks like a nice case indeed

First off, have you read through the multiple threads in regards to each case? I believe there's even a vid review comparing the two.
Bottom line I have both, it's really up to you which you prefer. Btw the two, I go Diztronic. But to throw a monkey wrench into things, I am using the Diztronic Ultra Hard Thin case with a Seidio holster made for a Gnex. So each his/her/it own.

I searched and found reviews of the cases but I didn't find any that compare the two. Amazon also has reviews but once again, not comparing the two.
I'm using the Diztronic hardcase I ordered the matte black finish and love it. It adds grip and feels very good and doesn't slide around too much on surfaces. However the case was messed up on one side so I ordered a replacement and got the white instead but the only bad side is its very slippery and prone to scratches that are visible when you shine light on it

I gota admit, the phone is slippery as hell. The Diztronic case doesn't make it worse, but also doesn't make it any better. I've dropped the phone onto the floor twice in about 3 weeks and semi-dropped it (caught it in my lap or whatever) several times. This baby definitely needs the protection.
Hello, i just wanna know, what you guys thinks are the best case for Nexus 4
I have tried flip cases from Poetic and PDair, TPU cases from Ditztronic and Cruzerlite, and the feather from Incipio. Frankly all left me a little cold based on the user experience of the phone with case installed. The only one that has actually improved that experience for me is the OEM bumper. The floating buttons in the bumper actually make button pressing more positive, and the extended lip, front and back, make it much less prone to drops.
If you're looking for full coverage however, I am not sure what to recommend, but the Cruzerlite came in a very distant second of the cases that I tried.
Good luck with whatever you decide on.
I have the OEM bumper and love it!

Ringke slim for me. I have the poetic bumper as well, but this case is solid, doesn't add much bulk, and gives the phone more grip and the peace of mind not having to worry about the back of the phone.

OEM bumper. My phone fell off the hood of my car today and no cracked screens, just a little scratch on the corner of the bumper.

My girlfriend got me hooked on Body Glove. Hard plastic shell with a rubber inside lining and in just the right place outside. A bit steep in price, but I highly recommend it.

No, I currently have it and I don't have any problems with my side-to-side XOskin
I can vouch for the Ringke Fusion case. excellent quality and grip with the complementary clear back to see the awesome glitter.
I have the SAMRICK Hydro Protective and I'm so happy with it.
nothing beats the premium quality of the OEM bumper...well, that's for me though.:fingers-crossed:
I've used the official bumper, Nillkin Slim and Ringke Fusion. The Ringke Fusion is nice but the buttons are TERRIBLE, a deal breaker to me. The Nillkin is really nice, but I prefer the bumper so I can see the back of the phone. I have it paired with the Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal Dual protectors for the front and back.

Poetic bumper is best so far. I got poetic slim case recently. Its much better then ringke fusion.
Ringke fusion adds so much of bulk to the phone. People buy it for its clear back, but its back never remains clear. It catches finger prints, dust gets inside, there are wet spots formed. I see no reason getting transparent back case when it never remains transparent practically.
Going to post a review soon.

As per title, which holster fits the nexus 4 with OEM bumper?
thanks
I remember someone said the Seidio Active Holster for the N4 fits the phone with OEM bumper, but I cannot personally confirm, sorry.
Any of these black and tan leather ones will work.

I have one and its a perfect fit with the bumper. The case will last you a good 6 months to a year before it starts to fall apart. I picked up mine for like a dollar and a half shipped. Have had several of these exact holsters over the years, and they all last no more than a year. But for the price that is fine.
thanks
forgot to mention that i`m looking more of the clip on like the seidio holsters and not leather.
AW: Holster that works with OEM bumper
Hello,
I'm not shure what type of holster you prefer. I found that one which is perfect for me. I'm using the Ringke Fusion case and not the original bumper. I measured the case and found out that the Samsung Galaxy S4 is in the same dimensions. So I ordered a holster for the S4 which now covers my N4 that is covered by the Ringke perfectly.
I hope this tip does help to find your holster for your bumpered N4.

When did you get the S4 holster? Not a Seidio I assume .
I use the same Ringke Fusion case and use the Seidio Surface spring holster for the N4 and fits perfectly.
Hi kpjimmy,
no, not a Seido. I bought a leather holster, but as you said that's not you're looking for. Therefore my tip to focus on the dimensions of the bumpered phone. As Samsung is blowing out many models and Samsung is very popular, I decided first to look for a Samsung model having similar dimensions.
Usually the holsters are not produced to cover a bumpered phone. So I had to find a workaround and I did. I hope you also can find a solution which is perfect for you.

I use my seidio active holster with my bumper case. Not a perfect fit, the bumper is thinner but a tad wider than the active case. The sides rub the sides of the holster but that proves to help due to it being thinner it keeps it from moving around while in holster. The bottom corners fit perfectly and the clip on top fits over the top perfectly.

Can you upload or post pics?
Having some trouble finding any good cases that fit the AT&T LG G2, which has a mic on the back near the camera.
I got the Poetic Palette from amazon but even this one doesn't have the cut out.
What are you guys using?
I'm not a fan of really bulky cases. But the more protection the better if it's slim.
I use fosmon and on the back it looks like it has a large and elongated letter s on the back from top to bottom and on one side it has slightly rough looking and really smooth looking on other side(both on rear side) and it is very lightweight and has all the holes u need for your phone. Click the link below it has a pink picture and they have all different colors.

I'm using the Spigen Slim armor case. Has the cutout you're looking for and is pretty cheap. I love it. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ELMXXV6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1386654642&sr=8-1&pi=SY200

I like the TPU cases. Diztronic and Tudia make a slim TPU case for the AT&T Mic. I've used Diztronic on other devices, but got the Tudia case for the G2. I just wanted something that protected the edges and screen if the phone happened to get dropped, and these fit the bill. These cases also help with the slipperiness of the phone as well.
