Hey guys! I was planning on buying the nexus 4 but I am not sure about which case I should buy. The Poetic Borderline is $10 and is a bumper, but the Ringke Fusion is a Bumper + transparent plastic behind.
I want protection for the back of the phone against scratched and i also want it to be visible..
Should I buy the Poetic bumper and put on a plastic vinyl on the back which is transparent or should I just buy the Ringke Fusion?
UPDATE: What about the Poetic Atmostphere? Will It be as protective as the Poetic bumper?
I've got a poetic bumper, and a brand skin for the back. It looks awesome, buttons and cutouts are perfect too

the poetic bumper is great, however, it does not play well this the wireless charging orb. See my video here: Click , you can skip to 4minutes in
I also have the ringke fusion case. Its not as nice as the bumper but it works with the charger and protects the back.
get the poetic. Buy the SGP duals for the back. It's the best protector for the back and it's easy to apply because it's dry install.

Thanks for the videos! Seems like a lot of people have questions about the orb and the different cases.

lol. No i havnt. I am the president of a car team. We build performance and show cars. I also have an online JDM apparel store.
What about the Poetic Atmostphere?
I'd say the Ringke Fusion. It has a TPU border and a covering for the back, which may be preferable. The TPU may help with the absorption of the impact a bit more than the hard plastic of the Atmosphere. Although the Atmosphere looks nice, I prefer TPU around the border. I guess it just sounds a bit safer. I could be totally wrong though, lol. I'd say look at the Ringke Fusion thread and read what some people have reported. Of course, do the same for the other two cases. Hopefully someone can chime in on their experience with the Atmosphere.
I thought that the atmostphere was more rubbery..

Depends on the user. Both are nice cases but I have a dbrand titanium skin so I prefer a bumper at the moment. But if I had to chose between an atmosphere case and a fusion I would pick the fusion hands down.
A major downfall of the fusion is its buttons. They have basically 0 feedback or recoil. The major downfall of the atmosphere case is it is clear at all u can't see the back glass sparkle its just dulled out. The other thing is if u have a wet apply screen protector it will cause the clear back portion of the fusion to have the water mark effect. The atmosphere case doesn't get this but its because its frosted and not clear. The fusion also has lil feet on each corner to help ptevent scratches to the case and to raise it up a lil for the speaker. Overall the fusion is a much better case I just hope the revise it and fix the buttons ton have better feedback.

Ringke Fusion buttons feel like absolute garbage, no indication at all you are actually pressing
I tried the Skinomi with the case just peeled up the corners and it was no good so what is the best protector to use with this case thanks

I have the diztronic mate black tpu using the SGP ultra crystal screen protector. Screen protector is slightly cut smaller due to rounded edges. Took of the case a few times no effect on screen protector. I must say that I just got the phone today, so I'm not sure what will happend overtime.

Definitely not good with XtremeGuard and Ghost Armor from my experience.
Seems like you really need a short cut screen protector with this case.

Rearth Ringbo pairs nicely with the Diztronic TPU case.
If you don't mine wet application Best Skins Ever makes a Case Optimized (slightly smaller to accommodate a case) screen protector. It's what I use with the Poetic Bumper. Don't have Diztronic to test but a Cruzerlite is in route. BestSkinsEver

I just got the case optimized screen protector from BSE. it is a little bit wider than the original sp that was shipped on the device from the manufacturer. Because of the additional width one of the corners has peeled up so I won't be taking the case off any time soon.

Seconded. Somebody on XDA said XtremeGuard went well with the TPU case- he mentioned a 2nd batch that supposedly had the right proportions, so i ordered one.
NOPE.
Started peeling off as soon as i applied the case. Removed it completely.
I really like the Diztronic case, but i wish it would ship with a screen protector like Nillkin does - a small one that fits with the case.
I might leave my N4 without any screen protection. Just the TPU case and my good old leather HTC pouch.

I agree.
Just got my Mercury TPU case amd it fits great with the Best Skins Ever case optimized screen protector.
I have an xo skins case optimized but haven't taken the bse case optimized off yet to try. The diz does not play well with the bse by the way. Peeled the normal and case fit ones.

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.

Does it interfere with screen protectors?
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.

Which is the best back cover for our one plus 5 ? Anybody from India , Please suggest.
Spigen Rugged Armor
Been covering my phone with it for almost 3 months. Good grip, no scratches, no drops etc... Fits well with fabric front foil or anti fingerprint screen protector.

I wouldn't get the ringke the bumper just gets super messed up on those. I'd say the best thing I like about orzly is that it just feels so much secure. You can check my review on Amazon.in I have some pics uploaded there too.
I can only say don't get the Kevlar one from the official site. You can't use the alert slider in that. And it just looks bulky. Got one and using it.

I think because of the rubber sides it would feel more grippy compared to Ringke's sort of slippery material (I bought one for op3 last year). I had read all the reviews on Amazon and surely leaned towards Orzly only. What color do you have though?

I got the black one. The grip is hands down the best I've used. I've had many phones over the years and this is the most slippery one. But this case just makes me feel so much comfortable holding the phone.

I can vouch for this, since I use the same case.
I use the spiegen case
Spigen Neo Hybrid for ruggedness and Nillkin basic is a decent average in all areas.
The OnePlus 5 Bumper Case Karbon direct from oneplus is the best!
Expensive but best protection. I tested it last night Fall from 1,5 m on the really rainy road without any damage (phone or case)

So I have a coral blue S9+. I want a dbrand skin, but I am not able to set my mind on a combination. Can anyone suggest any. Screenshots would be helpful.
I'm in the same predicament. I feel like the new black camo would look really nice with the S9+ though. Then there's the mahogany wood that's also nice looking. I'm curious to know which one provides more grip though
Got this one finally.
-
All the skins have slightly different textures, but grip is gonna be similar between them.
I went for concrete on mine (with the carbon fibre as a spare when this eventually wears out!)

If you are looking for grip, than black or red dragon. I have camo and bd and 2nd have much much better grip.

Just got my matte black camo skin today. Super easy to install, and fits perfectly. Makes the phone slightly less grippy (the skin in a little slippery) but looks fantastic, covers up the pink (lilac) back.
