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.

Yeah, a side flip should be preferable to top-down. Though I will give you guys an update on functionality.

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.
Cheers!

btw with the bumper shortage on google website i bought shenit bumper case for nexus 4, on amazon

UK accessory supplier?

Morning all,
To all you UK oppo find 5 owners (I'm assuming I'm not the only one!) - have any of you come across a UK supplier selling accessories? I bought a case from ebay but it's coming from China and will take about 2 weeks to arrive. I quite fancy the flip cover being sold on oppo's official site but I think 35 Euros (includes delivery) is a bit steep.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Much the same as you unfortunately. I ordered a couple of cheap Nilkin (knockoff?) cases from eBay 2 weeks ago but still not received them. They don't protect the top and bottom so are really just for rear scratch prevention.
Yesterday I looked at loads on Aliexpres (China suppliers) and grabbed a rubbery TPU that at least covers all sides and has a little bit of impact protection. I've also gone for a couple of those Aluminium (read signal killer!) cases as they were on offer for£22~ delivered compared to other places like Taobao agents or Casefanatic where the price is almost double.
Not sure we'll ever see UK sellers unless it's at inflated prices given it's not a mainstream phone. Might do a mini-round-up when/if they all arrive as it's hard to tell from just pics.
Here's my list...not really expecting any of them to be perfect. :cyclops:
eBay Nilkin
Alu case (ordered 1 black and 1 silver)
Plastic red snap-on (no idea if this will be decent or not)
TPU stretchy thing (might be good for grip with pattern?)
Bit of a shot in the dark with those but don't really see the Easy Cover worth the price given the top/bottom are exposed and I'm not a fan of wallet-type cases.

Slickwraps Naked Wrap and Aura Glow Note 10+

Hey guys,
So I pre-ordered the Note 10+ in Aura Glow color and I've been pondering what case to put it in that won't hinder it's awesome looks.
I came across the Slickwraps Naked skins, and they seem like a perfect fit for my needs. I checked on Youtube to see if anyone else had done a comparison between the glossy and matte versions of the naked skin, but it doesn't seem like anyone has.
I'm curious if the glossy naked skin is as prone to fingerprints as the normal back of the phone. It seems the matte is less of a fingerprint magnet, but I don't know if it will block the "glow" on the back of the phone.
Has anyone else thought of doing this or had these skins on other phones in the past?

Subscribed, I'm interested too.

I have used them, it still gets fingerprints but nowhere near as bad as the bare oem glass. Also, some clear cases stick to the clear wrap giving it a water bubble look. I wish I had a picture to show you what i mean. With my note 8 and note 9 and a slick wrap clear skin, tech 21 pure amd speck Presidio clear didnt stick to the clear wrap. UAG, otterbox clear symmetry, and spigen clear case all stuck to the clear wraps and gave it that water bubble look. Those were both on the note 8 and 9 with my personal experience. Not sure about other cases

The TRANSPARENT SERIES Skins are amazing! They have one for the note 10 plus...

Stay away from SLICKWRAPS. Terrible company.

Thank you for the tip! I got both the glossy and matte version and I'm going to try them out, take some pictures and share in case anyone else is interested. Got em both for $6 thanks to a sale they had.
People keep saying "Stay away from Slickwraps" and some other curse words about them, but for $6 how bad can it be? Does the wrap chew through metal or something?!

I have had d brand, slickwrap and a company in the UK called xtreme skins. All three were decent, slickwrap has a way better color/style selection and always has discounts. D brand was really good to, packaged a little nicer and shipped faster but selection wasnt as good as slickwrap imo, xtreme skins has cool options like a cutout for the samsung emblem(kinda like what dbrand does for apple) but quality was a notch below dbrand and slickwrap. Still pretty good though but also took a few weeks to get.

Yes definitely show some of the matte clear style, I ordered clear and carbon fiber style like I do every year. I'm pretty sure you'll recieve 2 of each(2 gloss and 2 matte) because when you order a naked style, they ship 2 incase you f up. Atleast that's how it's been the last 2 devices I ordered for.

I've bought many Slickwraps skins and Dbrand skins going back years. Dbrand are much more precise and fit to the edges better, but Slickwraps have a better selection (love their nature series)
I think both are shady in some of the stuff they've done like promotions with winners that are related to the company, or spamming reddit with bots dissing the competition.
Here are some images from previous phones running slickwraps skins:

Subsccribed.
Please update Pictures as soon as possible once you get both the device and the skin. I pre-ordered the Aura Glow edition but want to cover it with a Naked Skin from Slickwraps to avoid fingerprint smudges. Let us know if it retains the awesome looks after using the skin as the pictures might not show it
accurately.
Also, update about which one looks better: Matte or Glossy.
Thanks.

Will do! I just got the email notification that my Slickwraps shipped today. I still am stuck in "PREORDER" status for my Note 10+, but I'm hoping that will change pretty soon.

Have to agree. Last two times I placed a order it took them 3 weeks to send. Both times I had to send a email asking wheres my order? The last one I got for the Note 10 plus it had a bunch of pin holes around the hole cut outs. One of the skins is useless.

Never had issues with them. Been ordering from them and dbrand for years.

I got mine today, i ordered the matte finish for my aura Glow. It adds some texture and increases grip, but at the same time it takes away from the aura glow finish. It looks more like silver now.

Thicker leather case?

I've got the Samsung leather case and really like the look and feel of it, but I don't think it offers quite enough protection.
I'm looking for something in leather that is a bit thicker and also also covers the bottom of the phone or maybe a slightly thicker case that is leather-backed.
Any ideas? Thanks all!

I've got the following case arriving today, will report later.

I have a davis case one that is a little too thick for me. Pm me if interested it is brand new

Got the FYY case. Very nice build quality. It's a bit thick and heavy, and will be heavier by the time I load a couple cards and some cash in it. I'm a bit surprised the screen doesn't shut off when the cover is closed. Definitely a keeper, but probably not something I'll use daily.

Thanks all, but I'm not looking for a wallet case or flip cover to cover the front - just protection for sides and back.

No worries let me know what you find! I could use another non wallet one especially leather as well

Ali express has many but not sure about the quality

I bought this case, though it's not real leather I have throughly enjoyed it so far. Seems to protect the phone well and offers protection on all sides. View attachment 4821049

**** slickwraps. **** company, with **** business practices.

Slickwraps is the worst "company" ever.

Samsung make their own leather cover. I always use official accessories after having bad experiences with third party brands.
Since day 1 I've been using this:
https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/samsung-leather-case-for-galaxy-s20-black
Listed on Samsung's website too.
https://www.samsung.com/au/smartphones/galaxy-s20/accessories/
There's probably a retailer in your country that sell it.
Why go for any brand other than official? I trust them to make a case for their own phone, and I can tell you mine after 200+ days mine is still in great condition and has never had problems. I've dropped my phone several times and it's undamaged. The lambskin leather feels great on my hands. The buttons on the side work just fine and have no signs of wear. Zero complaints! I'll always buy official unless given a reason not to.
By the way it comes in other colours if you want.
I'm interested to hear if people here have tried other brands.
Edit: Wait you're after a "skin" not a case?
Maybe update the original post. I don't even know what the **** a leather skin is. You mean like a thin sticker to apply to the glass on the back of the phone? Why would you want that...
