Thin case that only "grabs" top and bottom?

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.

Hmm, that would be awesome. I'd be interested in a case like such, as well.

Might want to send an email to Rearth, and inquire about them making one. They already have one for the Galaxy Nexus. Just a thought.

I'm waiting for this case from Amazon, its a leather flip down case and only grabs the 4 corners of the phone leaving most of the screen free, and i don't even need a screen protector with that.

Damn, that in a thin TPU with no flip cover would be basically what I am looking for. I rock my phone naked 90% of the time now and the bumper when riding my motorcycle. I just cant stomach covering up a thin, attractive product with a massive case.

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.

Will my Nexus 4 be safe with these?

Like many others, I'm a little paranoid after all the horror stories I've read about our brittle, fragile little phones so I ordered a couple of defence measures, A case (I've actually ordered 2 but the one I have doesn't seem very resilient) and a screen protector, do you think these will offer sufficient protection?
Case : JKase DIABLO Series Tough Rugged Dual Layer Protection Case Cover with Build in Stand
The case I already have is the following : Nillkin Tree-Texture Slim, Snap-on / Flip Case / Cover for Google Nexus 4
Screen Protector : XGear Fantom 4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector For LG Nexus 4
The case I have is sturdy enough but I just don't trust it in case I drop the phone, the Diablo case just looks like it would protect the phone better, I have also seen another case which looks like it would protect the phone even better (will update later as I'm at work at the moment)

Just for info, this is the other case I was looking at, I watched a review on YouTube which stated that it's got really good face protection due to the moulding on the corners being more prominent.
LG NEXUS 4 BALLISTIC SHELL GEL SG SERIES CASE
Anyone tried this case and have anything to report/review?
EDIT: Just found this review on XDA I might look at getting this case depending on how the Diablo one works out

How fragile the phone is entirely depends on what you do day to day and what your friends/family/wife/husband would rate your klutzy-ness level as.
As such I have moshed at music festivals and gigs, have a walking heavy campus environment without incident (nor even a scratch) and only use a rear glass protector as the most likely thing to happen is if I hit the corner of a table or something.
To answer your question though, that case looks like it'd be fairly solid hahah.

Are you trying to make your Nexus 4 as durable as a tank or something ?
I've been using my nexus 4 now with only a Ringke Slim, and its still in mint condition.
For normal use you will never need a case like what you have, only in extreme conditions.

A tank would be nice yeah lol, I'm only stressing because I've seen stories of people dropping the phone from less than a foot high and the back shattered so I'd rather be safe than sorry, especially since it's not on a contract so we can't go running to a provider to replace it if it gets damaged.

Haha, yeah ofcourse the glass would break if you dropped it on a hard surface, face first.
You'd just ahve to be careful when you have your phone in your hand.
I personally never, ever, have dropped a smartphone and i dont plan on doing it anytime.
Just a simple bumper, or other case will protect you from fall damage.
Those cases you showed make your phone really bulky and ugly (in my opinion).

Looked like you were going to do that, when buying such a case lol.

I suggest taking a look at the Acase Super Leggerra Case. I have one, and it's just like the commuter series of otterbox. It offers good protection and looks pretty nice. Although I wouldn't get the white one. I got it, and it got dirty really easy... lol.

I only use that type of case when I'm at the gym. Otherwise, I have a front and rear bestskinever and that's it. Looks perfect except for some scratches on the chrome border.

I don't think I've ever seen or heard of anyone shattering their screens or backs using a simple bumper or slim case. Unless you want to be able to physically throw your phone around or treat it roughly, bumpers/slim cases are fine for 95% of use cases for normal people.
But sure, if you want the 100% piece of mind that your phone won't be broken, then by all means, bulk it up and deface the heck out of it.

For traveling, I may put on my Ringke Fusion case, but for the most part, I have my OEM Bumper on. If I had a Seidio Active case ordered up, I may pop that on when I go on vacation like Disneyworld.
But given your options you posted, I have seen cases like the Diablo for the GNex and they are indeedy very protective. Not too bad for the price either.

I have the case that OP is looking at...awesome case, I use it while mowing lawns and taking down trees. Not expensive either...

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: )

For me and is what I use.
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.

Box Wave Bamboo case! Only case I have kept on a phone longer than a week! Now going for two months.

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!

Case/Holster & Screen Protectors

Received my Boost Mobile Sharp Aquos Crystal on October 16, 2014 and after a few hours of tinkering,
started shopping for the usual case / holster with belt clip and clear screen protectors. Here are what
I ordered on eBay for my new smartphone . I will promptly post reviews of each upon receipt:
Case / Holster $5.99 <Received 10/20/2014. stitching quality is decent but case is so tight, can hardly get phone in/out & zero padding inside case. Seller admitted size error, refunded.
Next, I ordered this case for $5.99 < This seller DID NOT send me the case as pictures in their eBay listing. They sent me a case that is too small for this phone AND has cutouts that would allow the corners of the phone to be damaged if dropped. Package label says case is for a Samsung phone, not this Sharp phone. I contacted seller, no response in past 24 hours. Ordered from a 2nd ebay seller with same results. My search for a GOOD case/holster continued.
NOVEMBER 6, 2014 UPDATE: Finally found a case/holster that IS THE CORRECT SIZE AND protects the ENTIRE Sharp Aquos Crystal: $7.95 case / holster.
Screen Protectors (pack of 6) for $1.99 < Received in 4 days & perfect fit for this phone. Note: Pull back Tab #2 slightly BEFORE applying to phone or you might not be able to remove it after you iron out the bubbles.
Both prices including free delivery in USA.

Skinomi
Another option if you like the nakedness of the Crystal is TechSkin from Skinomi. I just got mine yesterday and its very eye-catching. Its an adhesive phone skin and screen protector(I got the black carbon fiber). When shopping for it, I was a little apprehensive that it would look cheesy, but its way better than I hoped for. The way its cut comes right up to the chrome and makes it stand out. Its textured too, so its not just some cheap sticker. The good thing about it is you can still use a case. I didn't use the screen protector though; I don't know, my phone just want to show all its glassy glory. I got mine on Amazon for around $12. They also have woods and brushed metals.

Sure!

That actually looks terrific! I saw that and the other stick-on cases on Amazon you mentioned, but gave no second-thought since the manufacturer pictures looked chintzy and not worth it.

You know, that's what I thought too. But once I got it on, my son walked by on his way to the kitchen and was like "Wow." That's a lot coming from a 19 year old. The quality is way higher than I expected, a real high-end look and feel.

Late as this post is, anyone try the snap-on cases? I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OOGDRVK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Clear-Ice brand carbon-fiber snap-on case, sort of like a bumper case on the iPhone 5S. I do like the idea of the sticker thing, but it doesn't appeal to me, personally. I want the device more sealed in.
I'm getting my phone and case on the 10th, so I'll see then. I'm just curious if there's been more exploration than these stickers, or adding a tertiary pocket for your phone.

Actually, I got my phone and the case and am impressed by it. It snaps on with some click, it holds well, and it fits the nature of a bumper case quite well. My real complain stems from it not being an actual carbon fiber cover. It's just this gloss shell with a bunch of black squares gridlocked together to imitate carbon fiber in appearance and nothing more. It's actually more slippery than the naked phone. It protects it, I'll admit. The snaps over the edges actually protrude that little bit out from the screen, giving it the most subtle protection from surfaces.
Disappointingly, I ruined the screen protector in the process. I'll probably either buy a set or look up how to clean one and apply them properly.

Screen Protector
I picked up one of the hdx Zagg screen protectors over the holidays on sale and also got one from a family member as a Christmas present.
I will sell the extra at a cheaper price than what you normally could, if anyone's interested message me for info.

Which color to choose for nexus 6P?

Guys I'm really confused between GRAPHITE AND ALUMINUM. I love both the colors but ive heard some people saying that on graphite its much easier to see the scratches and fingerprints all over it. In aluminum people say it'll hide the scratches and fingerprints...... But then the chamfered edges on aluminum is shiny similar to what iPhone 5 series had and after sometime those edges start to look ugly and scratches can be seen easily on those edges, as I have already used iPhone 5 white variant.
Now I'm all confused whether which color should i choose...
What you guys think, pls share your opinions and mention the reasons as well.

get graphite.

Aluminum is my least favorite in picture but super sexy in person.

I got the Aluminum, looks the best. Black shows fingerprints and is an old look, everyone has had a black phone before.

But what about the edges in silver variant which might turn ugly due to scratches after some use?

Pick the color you really want and don't worry about it. You are better off spending time worrying about the phone bending than having scratches.

I am waiting to have the Silver version delivered... I think that it's a matter of whether you would like to see the rear "visor" or not. If it's a feature you like, get the alu, otherwise the black one tends to hide it, but makes the phone a bit less unique.
Owning a black HTC One M7, its anodized aluminum surface has now small chips and scratches which are very visible due to the color contrast with the body. By the way, the chamfered edges look like they are the element least prone to scratches

If you want premium go for gold
I have that one and damn this thing feels looks premium also that black visor on gold looks dope!

I got graphite because who doesn't want a jet black phone?

Graphite here. Using a case anyway, rhino bumper. Not a single scratch, bending is an issue if you sit on your phone or charge it to the point it's going to explode.
Colour choice is 6 of one and half a dozen of the other, its soley down to the end user.

Do you see fingerprints on its back on daily basis? Does it look oily? How often do you have to rub the back to make it look clean?

Batteries swell when they're overcharged. I've seen a mechanics diagnostic kit actually break the device, the device split almost in half as the battery had more than tripled in size.
I know it's not supposed to happen but believe me it can.

This is an iPhone

You should the need titanium orange color.

Is there any way to change the back from Silver to graphite just like how we did on Google Nexus 6 ?

I got the aluminum version mainly because my brother has the graphite. I like it because you can see the Nexus name better. I got my wife the gold one and i think that one looks more elegant. I don't like gold colored things but its the best looking.
