Neoprene sleeve for N4?

Does anyone know of any neoprene sleeves (or it could be neoprone sleeves, idk) for the N4 kinda like the Nexus One came with?? That was by far one of the best accessories and doesn't take away from the sexiness of the phone while still protecting on the go!

Is that what you're looking for? The HTC One X and the Nexus 4 are almost identical in dimensions, so this should fit perfectly.

nice ill check it out! thanks
edit: just bought it, should come with perfect timing to the phone's release! cant wait!
the only thing i worry about is the material, if it will scratch the glass on the phone! i hope not...

The whole point of that case is to protect the screen, I doubt it will scratch the glass unless you have sand inside it :laugh:

I feel you. lol I get paranoid with my devices.

hey thanks! i've just ordered 2 of these neoprene sleeves.
i also remembered the neoprene sleeve from the N1 and really liked it, hope this will be the same again .
i'll post a quick answer when i got the sleeve and the phone to tell you if they fit it.

I don't like the neoprene sleeves. I have one for my GNex, and it slides in and out way too easily. I much prefer the LEATHER sleeves that came with the G1's.
Also, they have neoprene sleeve for sale one eBay that are advertised for the N4. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Well I think I'll have to run my nexus 4 without protector for a few.days till I can decide on one.

Could you post a link for the Nexus 4 sleeves? I doubt it makes a difference between the One X sleeves, but I just want to get a look at them.

Yeah i just bought the one x version, I feel it will fit the best

Where I ordered mine from. I used this on the S2 albeit the smaller version & it kept my screen completely scratch free. Not one scratch on the screen before I sold it last week.

So is anyone using a neoprene sleeve for their nexus 4?
Was wondering if this is a good buy. I had the original neoprene for the Nexus One and it protected my baby so well there wasn't one scratch on it.
I'd like the same one for N4

hey.. i thought some people would be interested to know that fact.

Any pics?

I got this (the one x version) and it fits really snug...its kinda hard to pull it out smoothly but once the case starts breaking in it gets easier! However i ordered a mofi which should be here soon because the sleeve is too snug for me

SFbags(Nexus 4) pouch

http://www.sfbags.com/products/cellphonecases/cell-phone-cases.php
Just ordered the GS3 pouch to fit with my diztronic hardcase thats shipped out, if there is enough material left at the top, I'm thinking a premium button would work to snap it closed,..we'll see in couple days

I brought one of these for my N4. Can't recommend enough!

I have been looking for something this simple. Thanks for the link I just bought one. Note that there's a small note on the site saying #76 fits the N4.

tempted to order one, do you guys think N4+rearth slim case fit the default N4 size. Or should I get the bigger one, eg One X.. hmm

I have both, and with the case it's a really tight fit. ill see if i can post pics in the evening

I purchased a leather sleeve from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00992V0WW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00) but it was too snug (yes, I realize the leather would break-in) but it was VERY difficult to remove the phone and frequently the power/volume buttons would get pressed in doing so.
I just ordered one of these (#76); can't wait to get it! $12 seems like a nice price shipped as well (sorry non-US persons).

I will be interested in how it works. If the mofi pouch does not work with my diztronic TPU case, I might do the same.
PS You can contact them with the exact measurements of your encased N4. They will verify what size will work best.

i'll be getting my bumper in the next few days, but i can say that the Rearth slim case is a tight fit. so the bumper may be an even tighter fit or not at all. i would wait.....

To clarify, you are referring to the Nexus 4 sized [#76] one right? Not the Galaxy S3 sized one, which OP has ordered?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I just got back an e-mail from Waterfield about the bumper + phone fit and their phone. I had found the dimensions to the phone with the bumper on from a another thread (and am assuming that they're true).
Thanks for checking in with us. You'd probably have to go with a bigger size because our #76 size is meant to be a snug fit the Nexus 4 naked, i.e. without case. So anything bigger would be too tight or not fit at all.
You're on the right track to give me the new measurements of your phone with case on. Based on those specs, it looks like the closest fit would be our #84 size which was made for the Samsung Galaxy Note (5.78" x 3.26" x 0.38" in).

I've had one of these sleeves for my Nexus S. Overall it was very minimal and was perfect for what I wanted (although it did gather a lot of dust on it). But, I am not sure about going with something that doesn't fit so snug - as there's nothing keeping the phone in the sleeve besides the cloth itself.

I have a pouch 73 (for S3) and am sad to report that NO the pouch no longer fits when the phone has the official bumper on. The pouch needs to be about 80mm width in order to fit the phone.

That's too bad. Do you have any other case? If so, please check whether it works with it .. I think the bumper significantly changes the dimensions of the phone compared to other cases like diztronic.

My diztronic hardcase+pouch should arrive today
Update: my case is in, should have the pouch tomarrow
Update 2: I should have the case today, sold my evo v yesterday so won't be able to post pics of it on the phone

I received the Waterfield SFBags pouch for the N4 today (#76). Overall, it's what I expected. Attached are some pics.

Awesome, my gs3 pouch should be in today, I'll update on whether it fits with the diztronic hardcase

Sport armbands for Nexus 4

Hi everybody,
If you are looking for an armband for your Nexus 4 I could recommend you one of those two. I tested both with a bumper on my phone and both work fine. Phone fits tight. Tune Belt seems to be crafted slightly better. Arkon has wider plastic screen and is cheaper.
Tune Belt:

Arkon:
http://www.amazon.com/XXL-ARMBAND-A...id=1361744928&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+4+armband

I was just thinking of going running next month to get in shape! But I thought the Nexus 4 was too ridiculously huge to run with. I'm a short guy 5'6".

I'm 5'6" run with it in hand. Prefer that, but I wish I could find a hand strap like an old Sony sports cassette Walkman from the 80s.

I used to run with phone in my hand but it was to awkward for me. Armand and bluetooth headset is a perfect combination.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I'm curious, I run with my N4 on a waist pouch and use Bluetooth earphones. Doesn't the armband get annoying? After I put enough mileage on a run even my shirt bugs me. I would think a phone strapped to my arm would drive me nuts. Thoughts?

Heads Up
Just a little heads up to others looking for a Nexus 4 running armband.
I got this, designed for a Galaxy S3: [not allowed to post links, google the phrase

... and the relevant amazon link should be the top result.
It fits Nexus 4 perfectly (when not in a case). You'll have to make a little hole in the fabric for the headphone jack (I used one of those thingies to make holes in belts with), other than that a perfect fit. Been using it a week without issues.

Any recommended armbands for the N4 in the original bumper?

I've had good success with PDO: http://www.amazon.com/Sporteer-Armband-Samsung-Large-Screen-Smartphones/dp/B00D614GBE
Edit: It fits a naked N4.

Anything that fits a Galaxy S3 will also fit a Nexus 4. If you want an armband that will fit the Nexus 4 with a bumper on, you will probably need an arm band that can fit a Galaxy Note. The bumper adds quite a bit of thickness to the phone.

I use a Tune Belt AB85, it's pretty big capacity wise so I don't need to take my case off.
It's designed for thick cases, so I've actually padded mine out with a bit of foam, which has the added bonus of moving the phone away from my sweaty arm.

Any good kickstand cases for S4 ?

I'm looking for something like this :
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Holster...67243950&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+s4+kickstand
The design of the case is perfect, not very thick, can kickstand portraid/landscape, and even use it as a hook for a firmer grip. But to me it is a very cheap looking / feeling case I want something more premium with the same functionality ?

A little on the pricey side, but they make great cases.

I bought the Seidio Active combo w/ kickstand this morning. I had an Active on my Nexus S for 2 years, very durable case...
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

The Seidio Surface case with the kickstand arrived today. I was a little worried about how much the kickstand would protrude, but it's only about 2 mm, so I'm glad I got it. I've also used Seidio cases for many years. My last one (S2) is still as good as new and I've had it since the phone was released for Sprint. Aside from the durability, I use multiple batteries and their cases are quick to take on and off.

Best buy's platinum series of cases are near identical to seidio, but about $20 cheaper. There is one with a belt holster and kickstand. I have it on my s4, and am quite pleased.

I want to buy a new case, there are lots of cases but I would like to get any recommendation from someone who use these kind of cases - Hybrid , silicon + plastic, if its possible I preffer ones that cover the micro usb (and headphone jacket).
Thanks!

Right now I'm using this case (I've ordered it from the original seller before I've got the nexus) and bought another one few months ago...its awesome case, also its have a great covers for the micro-usb and the headphone jacket, but I want something with silicon as first cover and then hard case on it.
I've ordered this case:
