I just bought a Speck Candyshell case for a little over $20.
It was a site called wirelessground (I don't know how reputable they are).
It is rubbery on the inside & hard on the outside. It was $34 on t-mobile's site and amazon.
Google:
Code:
T-Mobile G2x Speck CandyShell
There are only 2 sites with this case including amazon.
The coupon code is
Code:
15off
I am not affiliated with wirelessground or amazon but this is one of the few cases available and I saved almost $15!
I went with the bodyguardz transparent film...no added bulk and protects the phone and screen well. I had it on my last phone and it held up great for 2 years.

I just can't stand screen protectors. IMO there is no such thing as a good screen protector.

Agreed brother. No Screen protectors for me. Me and my buddy bought our cases in store on one receipt so we could get the "buy 2 get 20% off" deal. I went with the body glove snap-on case. The clip has a built in kickstand, that's what sold me.

Can you guys post up pictures of your cases.
a TPU case and a decent screen protector always works for me.
the black or white/black one looks good..

Why do people cover there nice looking phones up with bulky rubber cases? Just buy a couple spare battery covers down the road and your set. Makes you wonder why the manufacturers don't just make rubber phones????

Lol. I never drop my phone, but other people do. I trust a well made case to save me the replacement cost.
Personal preference plays a role as well. I'm still rocking out with the out of the box screen film on my phone.

I was looking on eBay for a nice TPU case that is somewhat clear to see the awesome back of the phone. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321025632878?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Its from Texas, US, so it should arrive quick compared to Hong Kong. Any thoughts on it or if anyone already bought one similar to it? I'm supposedly getting my device middle of next week and don't want to damage it.
Just ordered the white one. I need something for now to avoid a mishap

I ordered a clear one yesterday!
I ordered one a few days ago from that seller. Still hasn't shipped.
I, for one, am waiting on the CruzerLite cases. Hopefully they make more than TPU soon because i think TPU would not protect the back glass at all. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/pre-order-androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-lg-nexus-4

I ordered one of these in white from the US seller, it came in yesterday. It actually looks and feels a bit better than I expected. Doesn't add too much bulk and provides enough grip.
This one is cheaper and the same thing basically. With quick shipping even though it's HK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170946973494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

Cute.
It's a great question, as I don't see (m)any cases that protect against drops on the market right now.
it's pretty obvious there are not, we are all trying to get otterbox and uag to make one for us which would hopefully help with drops. but a easy search for any case at the moment, would result in no good cases available.
Just came across this on amazon. No feedback on the nexus 4 version as it hasn't been out yet, but I figure for $15 shipped, it looks like the best of any available cases.
Oh, I can't post links yet. Here's a bit.ly link: amzn.to/XvWCO3

^What he said. Besides Ballistic no company has confirmed a heavy duty case for us yet. But everyone should definitely vote here so we can get another good case our way:

In the description, for most cases it says 'protects against dust and scratches'
My focus is 'protection against drops'

Says in stock Dec. 9th., and according to amazon, Delivery Estimate: Thursday December 13, 2012 - Monday December 17, 2012 by 8:00pm. I went ahead and got one anyway, and again for the price it is essentially a temporary case.
On a related note, I just heard back from otterbox:
Unfortunately, we do not have plans to develop a case for that device at this time. I would recommend keeping an eye on our website, otterbox. com, and Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information for every new release.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

TPU cases do NOT work perfectly fine for drops UNLESS those drops are very minor. If you drop a phone with TPU case from waist up, chances are things might not look so good once you pick your phone back up.
Seidio has confirmed some cases for the Nexus 4.
http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-LG-Nexus-4-s/8621.htm
I think the Active series is a more drop friendly case. Probably get one of these or the Ballistic.

4' drop onto? My TPU case wouldn't save the N4 from a 4' drop onto anything but carpet or grass probably.

Whilst Spigen are not now promoting a free screen protector, if you look at the included items with the case, it now states "Front Cover Screen Protector 1PC", so I guess the free screen protector is still included! You have to love marketing departments.....

Before you would have 2 screen protectors in the end. The included one and the extra one (I hope).
You could order screen protectors even and choose a free screen protector too.

Up to the 22nd April, the website did not specify that a screen protector was included other than the promotional tick box. The site has now changed with a screen protector listed as included.

I ordered the Neo Hybrid yesterday and it definitely said "Front Cover Screen Protector - 1 PC" as it does now.
I also see they now have 50% off a screen protector when you buy a case.
In addition it seems the price on the Neo Hybrid was raised by $1.

That 50% discount has only recently been added!
Also, a cached copy from Google is attached showing no screen protector listed other than the free one. Hope you do receive the two

Just make sure its not fake. A lot of them on ebay are fake.
I hope not.
One reassuring piece of info that may be relative is that they wont ship until may 1st. Possibly waiting for inventory?
I will have the phone before the case comes

Cant wait for mine to come. Looks great buy I must say the otterbox commuter looks pretty good too. I also got the glas.tr so it will be my first glass screen protector.
Otter box did an awesome job on the GS4 cases thats for sure. Design wise atleast
Same problem here. Get the s4 sat and slim armor may 10. Talked to my Sprint retail store guy and he said to come see him friday before all hell breaks lose on sat and he'll make sure I get an sview case. Retail expects to sell out of the first shipment quickly. Sview cases and phones.

There are some cheap TPUs on eBay that you can order for the meantime. I boughten one for $4 earlier today and it's supposed to arrive on Saturday which is perfect.

just got a response earlier about a question i asked a few days ago... WEIGHT AND DIMENSIONS!
this is what they had to say!
"Thank you for contacting Spigen.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is Hanna from Spigen.com.
Thank you for your recent order with us!
The slim armor will add on about 2mm on each side for the length and about 1.5mm on each side for the width. The case itself will add about 3-4 ounces of weight to your phone.
These are all approximations since we do not have the actual case available as of yet. "
so 3mm added to the thickness approximately, and 85-113 grams on top of the gs4's 7.9mm thickness and 130 grams.
not bad, for a slim case with the best protection! hope i like it, who knows lol
i think the best looking case yet is the iSkin EXO
beats otterbox thats for sure

i ordered mine to get the extra additional screen protector. spigen also sent me out an LCD cleaning kit for free. on top of that, the fake ones are probably jacked up in price just because those are just coming out too. the phone isnt even released yet.
also if you go to spigens ebay store,
http://stores.ebay.com/SPIGEN-SGP/S...5621014&_sid=1118303154&_trksid=p4634.c0.m322
you'd see that the prices arent different.
also note that spigen has a 90-day manufacturer warranty and a 30 day return policy. under these policies, cases purchased on spigens website are the ONLY spigen cases covered.
"Only items purchased from Spigen.com will be eligible for this warranty." quoted from their website http://www.spigen.com/faq/ #6

Thans for the suggestion. I see this as more of a pouch with a belt clip rather than the traditional quick-release holsters I'm looking for, so I'm going to hold off on posting it for now. I"ll probably add it as a 'variant' when we have a few more listings.
@BillTheCat,
Just FYI, I recently got the Supcase with the holster I posted yesterday and it's great so far. Similar to otterbox defender for half the price....
Does the Supcase have a kickstand?

Otterbox defender is an awsome choice - very good protection + 2 in 1 holster and kickstand... I love mine.
