Need help choosing a case - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I am looking for a case which is similar to urban armor gear.
I only find those ultra thin cases, i dont rly like.
Ballistic's case is the only one i found.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english

In terms of protection, I think the 'MyBat Tuff Hybrid Protector Case' comes closest.
There is a thread on it here.

I just found a great tpu matte case at T-Mobile. Like it better than my Diztronic.

ty both, but i don't like the white part at the mybat case and the tpu one doesn't look like it would defend my nexus like i want to
any other ideas?

I ordered the "Ionic GUARDIAN Armor Case for LG Google Nexus 4" from Amazon today. Looks like it offers good drop protection. Has good reviews on Amazon. Cost ~$12 shipped.

the problem of this case is that it is made our rubber itself. it's hard to get out of ur trousers and in my opinion it is kinda ugly but this is my personal opinion. still thanks for ur recommendation.
Is there any other case, which is available for the nexus 4? i would prefer if u can buy it in germany, but it's not mandatory

Whats D Nexus⁴ Case Ure Using? Plan To Get Nicer Ones :D

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.

Just ordered the fiance and myself Nexus 4s. She has a tendency to drop phone every so often.

I Just got the Ballistic Shell Gel case for mine and it seems like a good product that would fair well in a drop. I am quite happy with fit and look and does not add huge bulk I would recommend it.
I have the ballistic case and I strongly recommend it. It even comes in black/pink in case she likes that color. It provides the best protection currently for the n4.my only piece of advice is to let hthe case air out for a few days before giving it to her since the rubber part has a strong rubber smell.

Thin hard case with decent grip?

I have the diztronic tpu, but it just seems to add too much bulk for my taste, and it's slippy as hell. I have better grip without a case.
I have searched a lot here and Google, but no one really seems to talk about any of the hard cases having decent texture that helps with grip.
Are there any options that I have missed?

Oh the diztronic is a great don't get me wrong, and I only use tpu cases (diztronic, s-line, cruzerlite) on my other phones. I just find that unlike my last phone (one x) the nexus 4 is a little too bulky with a tpu case on it. Plus the finish on is just soooo slippery.
I have never used a hard case before since they seem to add very little protection compared to tpu, but I want to keep the nexus as thin and light as possible. While still giving decent protection to the screen.
Unlike a lot of people I don't care if my phone itself gets a scratch or ding in the casing of the phone. Only thing I really care about is keeping the screen as perfect as possible.

Feel is great, and it will prevent the back and sides from getting scratched, but offers little protection from drops (especially if it lands on the bottom or top as there is not much of those areas that are covered). No real shock absorption either.
Has anyone seen a review or tried one of these cases?

Its a two piece hard case but it does offer protection of all the sides.

Well, that doesn't seem all that surprising with so many reports from folks who have problems with the phone sticking to the orb. Mine sticks great to a slick surface. Not so much to a porous one.
Another vote for the Meifeng. I gave my original to a friend because I was on the whole bumper bandwagon. I missed it so much I ordered a new one. Great feeling in the hand. Not so great with the top/bottom protection but it's grippy so hopefully you won't drop it.

recommend a case that does not compromise N4's good looks

Just bought a nexus 4 after google's price cut, can someone recommend me a case that offer a good protection without compromising the N4's looks?
Currently I am considering the ringke fusion.
Any other recommendations?

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: )

I reallu glad with bumper case from poetic.
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!

[Q] A good case for the N4 ?

I'm looking for a good looking case for my nexus, slim but that would provide decent protection.

INCIPIO case
No slim case is going to protect your phone from a fall. The best it can do is stop the back of your phone from getting scratches. If your phone survives a fall with a slim case, chances are that it would have survived even without the case.

I have tried quite a few cases for the nexus 4 and I settled on the cruzerlite a2 case. Gives good grip and will protect the phone from mirror falls. The cut outs are perfect too so volume and power buttons are easy to access.
If you want something a little more professional looking then the fusion case is the other case I would recommend.

For everyday use Ringke Fusión. For drop protection Ballistic SG or Boxwave Resolute.

Amazon troll is right. From everything I've heard, the N5 will be less rounded, not more so.
I just bought on Ebay the Ringke Slim Case (before I had a TPU case) for 10$ on sale (the price is more or less, not remember precisely), and it's fantastic! Feels really nice in hand and to see it! Surely it's not the most secure, but if your careful it will be just fine.. I preferred to the TPU one because it's thinner and lighter, so it even fit better in the pockets! XD
Diztronic tpu protected my Nexus from a few falls.
Have to agree, Rearth slim case is best. If you put paper or something in between the phone and the case it makes a tight fit, which feels like it helps with falls. I have dropped my Nexus from 4 or 5 feet onto pavement and the slim case hasn't failed me (surprisingly). The matte feeling also makes it easier to grip the phone.
Agreement on the Rearth Ringke Slim. Subtle and remains true to the slim design of the Nexus 4. It's pretty smooth, but somehow manages to keep the phone secure in my hand. I'd recommend it to anyone.
