I just got a Zagg HD screen protector and although really nice, I had to replace the first one because the current case that I have was pushing up the edges of the film, causing crap to get under it. I just got the replacement and have yet to put it on as I do not want to have it happen again. Does anyone else have a Zagg and some other case (other than the zagg full body protector) that works with it?
I'm using the incipio Silicrylic case! Love it. It did start to peel up one corner but i quickly restuck it and no problems since. With most case just be careful putting them on, that's when you can really peel off your screen protector. Speck cases are pretty friendly as well, at least they were for the past phones I've owned.

People also say they get the otterbox commuter and defenders with the zagg on amazon, but personally, I find those cases too bulky for my tastes. I want something on the same level as the case that I have. Flexible and easy to put on/remove along with not adding too much bulk.
I dont have Zagg, (skinomi here but same technology) but I use the Incipio Dual Silicrylic. Never had any peel ups and I love the case

Thats the EXACT one I have. I also have Zagg HD and this case coveres the edges of the Zagg perfectly. The only time you will see the end of the Zagg is aroudn the Camera and speaker, other than that all the ends are coverd as well as sides.
My Gripe though... Too thick. Was thinking about Zagg Body armour.
Any thoughts?

Hmm I thought it keeps the slim design of the phone very nicely. Not too thick at all. If you want a hard case this will be the most slim you get.
I got this one, love it.

It's very slim and don't wrap over the top.
My Amzer case comes with a holster, but it's a hard case that wraps tight and is rather low-profile out of the holster (the phone and case are a bit smudgy because I quickly took these pictures during a brief break from housework; you can click for bigger pics):

This phone has already survived four direct falls -three of those times on concrete.

Hands down the best case that works perfectly with the Zagg HD is the Seidio Active.
This is the one I use and honestly I always use Seidio. You will not be sorry if you get this case.
I use a OEM beltclip case that I got from verizon, no issues what so ever.

Really? I have a Commuter as well. Is there any peeling around the edges of your screen protector? Do you remove the case often? If so, do you find yourself having any issues trying not to mess up the screen protector since the case fits so tight?

If you have the built in screen protector that would be the defender series.

Hey guys, been looking through the forum but can't seem to find a good case that just clearly shows the back of the Nexus 4.
Some TPU cases have partial clear backs but usually with an ugly S or X shape and frosting on the other parts. Also people say the clear TPU part looks bad, like its stuck to the back glass and shows random bubbles depending on pressure.
Does anyone know of a good case with a clear back?
Would tempered glass front and back plus a bumper give good protection and still show the back?
A lot of us are waiting for this one.

We won't know for sure until we get it in our hands. What kind of SP are you planning on getting? If it's a wet applicator type, make sure you get the case fit kind.

those are cool and cheap... but still has that frosted backside AND it looks rather thick/bulky (look at the thickness of the opening of the camera/lens part)... I was going to get it, but I think I'll wait for the Ringke and see what they are going to charge. If it's in the $20 range, then yes.... but if it's in the $30... then no or at least reconsider

I have that case in white on my phone right now. It doesn't show the back clearly its closer to what the atmosphere case is as far as clarity. Nice case though and it doesn't mess with my screen protector at all.

Yeah it's like a really thin case for me since i'm really careful, i've only dropped the phone like 3~4 times in a year that i have it now and a few corners of the skin got bent so i cutted with a razor so it won't lift up the whole part getting the phone in and out the pockets and so...
And try to read the instructions really carefully before aplying.

Don't have picture I broke the screen protector!! I shut my car door on my phone the screen cover broke but my phone was perfect!! I had the first model of the protector which was a little thicker so the bumper wouldn't fit to well and just pushed the protector up!!! The new one is thinner so it might fit better!!

Ok pulled the trigger for a black one. I have the LG white bumper, but was battling if I should go white. But hearing or reading that there are some gaps, I opted for the black.

Uh, I wouldn't want that. hah.
Few questions for some owners..
1) The site doesn't advertise being oleophobic, but do fingerprints show up pretty badly?
2) Has anyone tried this case with a slim case such as the Rinke or Nillkin? It wraps around the edges pretty tightly and am wondering if the Maru glass extends that far.
Mine should be at my office waiting for me on Monday. I'll post pics if it works on my bumper lol.

From this users experience it doesn't seem to be anti fingerprint http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1e2fzi/maru_labs_tempered_glass_screen_protector/ca2qhpr
I received mine today.
It does leave fingerprints.
Sensitivity does go down a little.
Cases I've tried on: (I've put this on for only a couple of seconds to see if it would fit or not. I don't know if it would cause an issue for extended use)
Ringke fusion - seems to fit, looks good.
Poetic atmosphere - seems to fit, looks good.
Nillkin leather flip - fit good.
Poetic borderline - It does not fit. I can't put it on with the protector on.
Poetic slimbook - fit good.
Oh god, does it just come a cheap little padded envelope? I'm worried about the condition of my protector now too.

Nope, It came in a flatten box. (well mine came in flat with no other padding or bubbles)
It only came with the protector only, no cleaning cloth.

During sound playback you can tell a difference from not having the case in but it's not a huge let down like it was with my iPhone 5 Life Proof. As far as voice feedback in the ear goes it does take the noise canceling a second to catch up so on the first ring or so it sounds distorted but it quickly fixes itself. It's not making calls or listening to music. No more opening the bottom hatch to make sure someone can hear me. And as far as the plastic cover goes if you're meaning a screen protector like invisible shield then it will fit. They provide you an optional screen protector to put on (I used it). I do intend on investing in a better one later, probably Ghost Armor. Lmk if you have anything else

I just purchased the version without a screen protector built in. The nuud I believe. I have a Mime glass protector (not the thinnest one, but the one with rounded edges) and it fits. Now, I havent tested it because Im not going to submerge my phone just to find out on purpose, BUT it appears to fit and seal normally. ill try to get some pics for you later when I get off work,
Short answer, yes it fits.....

The Obex is good at waterproofing. It's got some cons tho. I reckon the LifeProof will be less bulky. The Obex makes the notification bar hard to pull down cuz it covers the part above the screen. I don't really like the plastic screen protector of the Obex case also. But it's still a good case to consider!

I'm not to happy with my obex anymore. The screen protector is pretty crappy, the case scratches fairly and the colored parts get dirty. I had it on for a while and I'm very careful with my phone and its all marked up case and screen protector. And the protecter isn't that clear either. Yeah it's good that tue case is scratched and not the phone but my otterbox commuter has been on my phone for a lot longer and still looks good.
