Just wondering if it's just me that likes to take my phone out of it's case occasionally while I'm at home. I like to use it naked every now and then.

I got a jelly case and another leatherette case with flip cover.

Bought an S-Line TPU case a while ago, but I really like how the phone feels in my hand without it. Haven't used the case in more than a month.

I find myself taking mine out of my case when I'm at home occasionally too. Its a very nice phone to hold in your hand in my opinion, but always keep my Quicksand case on when outdoors.
I'll have to disagree here.
My phone is my baby. I keep it in its case all the time. Since I have the elago barely there case, the case is already barely there. Lol.

Case? What case... load of old rubbish. Don't get me started on screen protectors!
My phone looks nice and feel good with the case on it

Lots of money was spent on the design and ergonomics of the phone....Why ruin it all by putting it in a case. Phones don't last forever, they're good for 6 months, then get a newer one.

I normally buy cheap cases and they get scratches and stuff making it look horrible. So i have not had a case for a month i am gonna get me an expensive one this time abd see how it goes. I saw a sgp one for £29.99 gonna give that a shot.

I for agree with this, the only reason I have mine in a case is because if it gets damaged I will struggle with the repair bill, if that didn't matter I would not use a case, hence why I like to feel other whenever I can.
And it's nice to see it's not just me.

If only, my phone needs to last me 24 months and I'm a clumsy [email protected]#&@&d so my phone resides in a s-line tpu case and will do until it's due replacement.

I never take my phone out of the case because i dont keep it in one.
Ive smashed it on the ground about fifteen times and the only effect its had is a small mark/dent in the screen surround.

Well, after 6 months or 1 year , I would normally give the phone to girl friend or sell it to friend. So is better to take good care of the phone.

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

I know if there was a difference it could not be major but maybe storage is a different make or something. I want to find out what is the best test that could determine this.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.

I had a play with both model, and to me they felt the same...
The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

wow
You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

and the douche-baggery continues!!!!!! although now i'm thinking its more cheapness than douche-baggery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! trying to cash in at the expense of others...
& to the question of 8 vs 16 gig performance... figure that out yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're not worth the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

Well actually to be honest I didn't do them at all to sell. Kinda a long story but I ordered 4 and 1 replacement each. So its not like I ordered 1 and did this 7 times which technically can't be done due to time.

That why you only see post about people being unhappy with it..
Most of the time, people wouldn't post anything about the phone if it's working fine/happy with it..
But then you do get the occasionally positive/*this phone rocks* reviews :victory:
I end up selling my N7 after awhile I got my Nexus 4... cause is such pain getting game saves around.. !
Getting mine today :good: First things to do: unlock it, flash recovery and SU and off course Franco kernel. Had it before and liked the phone, the only bad thing about this phone is the camera quality and the washed out colors out of the box.

You will not regret buying this phone, and a custom kernel should increase batterylife quite a lot. And you can set the colors to your own liking
As far as reports of problems go, there are just as many in the Nexus 7 forums. People with issues are simply more vocal.
I for one am finding this phone to be a perfect companion to my Nexus 7 and it's also as near to a flawless specimen as I could have hoped.

Okay I been reading up more on this phone and I can't find a good reason not to get it. Price is great specs are solid and the support and development are going to be off the charts. I'd like to know what case to get, I have been using otter box on past phones but wanna try something different.

To be fair, most of the people in this forum are nexus 4 fanatics, so our opinions may be a bit biased
That being said, this phone is AWESOME.

I would honestly suggest a soft gel/rubber case.. Hard cases ruined my hox, too much pressure to get them on, ended up breaking some ribbon on the board, so the screen won't turn on unless the housing is partially removed.. Which is how I have to use this phone until I fix it or order a nexus 4 if its not fixable for free/really cheap.
The only thing I'm losing is LTE. Which I don't use/rarely use as it is
You should if you can get it for $350 at Play Store. I'm happy with it, very good price for a good phone. If you can live with no LTE, non removable battery, no external SD card, somewhat low/tinny speaker output volume and just average camera quality you'll be happy with it.
I would buy it again. The price is unbeatable. If you can live with the lack of OTG (Which may be fixed eventually) and camera quality then you'll love it. I think the washed out colours thing is due to peoples love for very saturated screens. As I said in another thread, take a photo of something, look at it on the screen, if it's brightly covered in bloom, then it's over saturated. Just because the Nexus 4 is less saturated doesn't mean it's washed out.
All right just ordered it from Google. Can't wait! 388.00 total but that's cheap compared to the other ones I've had bought. Not to worried about the camera I have a camera for that. I'm still not sure on what case but thinking gel case something that won't scratch it n can clean up n not bulky. I don't know what plan to go with being in northern Mn there's not too many options.

I have been driving myself nuts with this question. I have a note 2 now that I love but I am also thinking about getting a nexus so I can have something to play around with mods and getting into developing. I have At&t so swapping the simple won't be a problem.

Well I got mine about a month ago and I love it. Even more so than my s3. Not worried about lte cuz it's not around here anyway and it does lack storage but I been using drop box. I haven't rooted it yet tho I am fine with it the way it is. No issues with it at all. Beautiful phone with great features and price. They got it right with this one. Love it.

If you can live with a phone that has 3 hours of screen time, meaning that you don´t go from 8am to 8pm, meaning that you have to do 2 full charges every day, go for it
i´m returning mine
I recently got it and I absolutely love it.
Things to consider though:
1. no SD CARD, got the 16GB version and im still struggling with space.
2. battery life is below average, I'm coming from a Motorola defy which had much better battery life.

How would you expect to accomplish that with a sealed phone? Maybe a piug-in to the USB?

The same way every other battery case for every other phone works... Just like you said. It's a case that adds a touch of bulk and plugs into the USB port.

That's all I've ever seen too. I think one that uses the charging port would be too awkward since it's on the side - one of the huge selling points of this phone is it's edge-to-edge screen/super slim bezel. Another is just how slim it is overall.. so I doubt there's much of a market for something that will bulk up the phone that much, and thus not much of a chance that something like that will be produced anytime soon. Especially since it's already touted as having a fairly long battery life.
Maybe since they are locking up there bootloaders so tight software wise maybe it can be bypassed physically like the rezound was s off ? Sorry don't know much on Jtag either

The Note 6 may be here at the time, but sure, we will win
I was going to look for after market parts, specifically the mother board which appears to be easily replaceable. Might be an expensive solution however less than a new phone. I finally decided to take it back and wait for the N3 DE.
