thin looks stylish, but will it protect the phone in case of fall?

You might actually get an answer if you posted in the right forum... Either questions or accessories....

[Q] Will you be buying a case for your Nexus 4?

I say this because after reading the verge review, Joshua knocked the phone over and the back glass broke.
Well I sure dont want to risk so I will.
Just ordered a Best Skins Ever full body skin, should offer some protection without ruining the look of the phone
Cruzerlite FTW
Maybe if there is one with the flip cover that doesn't add too much bulk otherwise no case. It's too pretty.

Yes I will. Off topic. Anyone know if/where/how to get insurance on this phone?

SquareTrade or something is a popular choice I keep hearing about
I'll make my own protective cover, using double sided adhesive tape, liquid teflon or silicon. Modeling that to just fit Nexus 4's back and adding 1mm to its thinness.
I may get the bumper case

Nope.. I wouldn't have one for my iPhone either if Apple didn't give it to me free of charge.
The glass looks nice apart from the fact that it's a fingerprint magnet.

Nope I never used a cover on my phone, it's make phone super ugly

Yeah, probably a TPU one.
I will most definitely get a Noreve case for it.
Yep, a black rubber one for the back/sides and a clear skin for the screen.
I voted no, but would use a thin clear case if they became available just for scratch protection. I don't care for the TPU cases as they add some bulk.
Will be getting a flip case...
I don't know really, I've never had a glass parts phone, only plastic.
I saw the Verge video too and the crack was pretty annoying since once you see it you can't ignore it.
But then again with screenprotectors and cases the phone gets less comfortable, besides Gorilla Glass 2 is supposed to be really strong and flexible. Once I get the phone and use it for a bit I'll rethink and definitely check out this thread again to see who recommends what cases etc.
Yes, but I'll only use it for the first month or so. After that naked.

Most likely getting a Otterbox here. I've got a baby who loves to reach for small things with bright screens. It's begging for a mishap.
Would a case mess up the wireless charging?

Strongest nexus 7 case?

I was reading the thread on how people have broke their screens. That's why I would like to know what is the toughest case. Anyone? Thanks

Here is the one i have. I Have the pink color very nice protection All ports are accessible. But it does add some bulk to the device

This one is probably the most protective . But its Hideous looking
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_s...rop+for+nexus7&sprefix=GUMDROP+FOR+NEXU,aps,0
I have both the gumdrop and seidio. Gumdrop definitely offers more protection but does not have a cover for the screen, while seidio does. I like the seidio case much better. Gumdrop is ugly like said above and does not feel nice to hold like the seidio does.

Case advice. Looking for a support thin case. Any ideas?

OK so I've never used a case on any phone I've every owned because I've always hated how thick they were and made it impossible to fit in a belt style holster. Now however I definitely need one since the speaker is on the back making the phone impossible to watch videos or do anything with audio while laying the phone down. So I'm looking for something that's as thin add possible while also having a kick stand of some sort... Any ideas?

I heard the seidio case cases scratches on the bezel so u would have to put tape on the bezel to prevent the scratching. It also scratched their screen.

Has anyone provided pictures to support this? I only saw one person mention this in the Seidio thread but after people asked for more info and pictures he disappeared.

I didn't disappear. I threw the case in the trash before taking any pictures, mea culpa. I do have the holster which is nice. If you don't believe me please go for it, but it. will. scratch. your. phone. Just wait till the active case comes out. It looks nice and seems the inner layer is all silicone which is much more friendly on your phone than the plastic. The problem is, you just aren't going to find a hard slim case that wont scratch your phone unless the entire thing has a soft rubber inside, is tight in the case, and doesn't use any sort of sliding mechanism to fit together. It's the friction and whatever debris is in there that causes the scratching... on the glass. The plastic bezel is very soft. Doesn't take much to scratch it. Dust under a TPU case can scuff up the phone too, but not like the surface. You can use a TPU case with the surface. Looks fine and works great.
Just for your enjoyment... I did some dumpster diving through my kitchen trash can, but my wife took that trash out already. Got my arms full of meat juice, spit, eggs, and other nasty crap just to show that I'm not a troll, but the bag is apparently in the big can in the garage. Maybe I'll take some pics of that just to prove that I have the case. I have no axe to grind with Seidio. I've spent hundreds on their products. They just don't make a good surface case for the nexus 4. I just don't want people to damage a hard to find phone and in the process, waste $60ish hard earned on a product that does more damage than it protects.
Jayrod is not a troll and anything he says I believe he has helped me with countless things on here
Ewww man

Thanks for the recommendation mate, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. I mean I love that it can be a kickstand but I don't like the look of a folder clip looking thing on the back of my phone. ;(
I'm looking for something slim and thin as possible but has the option to prop my device up. Something like this but for the Nexus 4:

Thin case

Well I want to get a case for my M as my hands get sweaty easily.
I really want a thin, durable, smooth or rubbery case.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

The case I use gives it some protection, but I don't want anything clunky and I really like how the M looks, so I normally go caseless. I may try out the feather case from incipio, though.

I second that.... I have five cases now. I bought the body glove first and its still my favorite. Not quite as slim as the tpu or incipio, but very slim for the protection it offers

I occasionally use a black rubberized case that is fairly thin and not obtrusive. I bought it on Amazon for next to nothing and it works well for what it is. It's not overly protective, but it will protect against scratches. It's good quality and keeps the phone from sliding around on surfaces, but nothing fancy. If you want a thin, clean look it's definitely an option that would work.

i got a similar one, and don't like it. it's a bit too rubbery whereby it's tough to get in and out of my pocket.

I'll agree with you there. Getting it out of your pocket is about as difficult as reasoning with a mountain lion.

saw that, but it just makes it look bulky. i really enjoy the phone being so thin, that i don't even realize that it is in my pocket. i've realized that this phone is made rather tough with the teflon backing and gorilla glass... but of course, it's still prone to chips/scratches/dents from it falling and whatnot...
I got a cheap silicone case for my M from eBay, and it provides the scuff/drop protection. I rely on the durability of the phone to take the impact. And I'm super careful. Screen protectors are good as well!

Qmadix Holster / Shell combo
I found this Qmadix holster / shell combo at one of my local wireless stores. It covers the back and sides well, with just the tiniest lip on the front to keep the shell attached and raise the screen off of the table if you put your phone face down. There are some soft-rubber elements that help with grip, but most of the shell is a brushed metal-looking plastic.
I rarely use the holster, but the shell is on my phone 24/7

Xperia Z1s Flash Photography washing out (T-Mobile)

Hello All,
I just wanted to make everyone aware of something on my Z1s (Tmobile) that has been bothering me. When taking flash photography I was getting a wash out on the right of the pictures. At first I thought it was the camera but I experimented and realized that this would only happen when using my case (Tech-21 Impact Tactical Shell) purchased from T-mobile. Upon closer inspection by using the flashlight feature of the phone, I realized that the tiny edge of the case around the flash is causing the reflection. You would figure that a black case would not reflect light but it does. I rubbed the small little area with a lead pencil and it improved. So I will try to coat it with some other Flat Black paint and see what works better.
I guess since the flash is so close to the lens this can happen with other cases as well depending how big the hole around the flash is. Hopefully this will help others out.
Peace !
Walt
Happens with almost every case with a cutout for the camera. I've tried almost all of them on my Z1, haha. Expensive is no guarantee. I've had €45 cases that do this (noreve, roxfit, krusel, zenus) and all the way down. Best I found was a £2.99 thin plastic one.
If it ever comes, I have an aluminium bumper frame on order from China.
I know you have a z1s, but check the Z1 accessories forum, case discussions in there.

Oh, ok. Got me all excited for a nice bumper for the z1s. No one seems to make them yet, or any really nice case for the z1s aside from the nilikin frosted one I have, and it's a bit lightweight for my taste.
