I love the stock rubber case that came with my HD2..in fact after the first one rotted i bought another one off Amazon for like $3.
The reason? it allowed me to keep a credit card and my drivers license underneath it (back of phone) so i was able to ditch my wallet completely.
Now as long as I hold onto my preccious...errr..phone..i never worry about anything.
This system has worked great for me for 3+ years..i'm hoping to find something similar for the Nexus 4. Anyone know of a good rubbery case that will allow me to stuff a couple credit cards in between it and the back of the nexus 4 and still seal around the phone itself?
Most cases simply fit too tightly (or they're hard shells) and leave no room for credit cards. While I understand wanting it to be snug, its frustrating that I can't find one that lets me stuff my cards in there.
This is relevant to my interests.
Hmm, I think I know what you mean. You want a flexible case so you can take it off and put your credit cards in it and put the case back on? There are also these other ones that hold the cards outside the case, which I'm not sure if you've heard of or would like:

http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Speck-CandyShell-Card-Case.jpg
It's probably too early to find a case like that to fit the N4, but I would think these companies would make the outer credit card cases soon...
I had one of these for my iPhone 4 and really hope there's something similar for the N4 now that I'm going to the dark side lol. Mine was made by Speck.
yeah this can't come soon enough. I use a credit card case on my 3gs and love it. Leave the house with credit card and ID and can leave the wallet at home.
please post links if you see any N4 cases like this for sale.
I'm getting a leather pouch/CC holder custom made for me by one of my lady friends. If you want I can check with her on pricing for you. :good:
I think the OP just wants a gel type TPU case that has room in the back for cards. I've done the same for my vibrant, but it didn't work for my nexus s because the back was curved. EBay has an s line case for $3. I'm buying it for this purpose

The HTC One X has very similar specs size wise to the Nexus 4. I'm strongly considering one of these. I just don't know on how low the seller would go for one.
Thank me later.

This would be awesome. Can't find a good one online though.
It would be awesome If they make one with an extra compartment like the incipio stowaway or the ilid.
Mofi has their Kangaroo pouch that should fit that exact purpose:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Mofi...sPouches&var=560117742833&hash=item3cc5c95a4d
I ordered it to hold headphones, but it could easily hold credit cards, IDs, cash, or whatever else you would like to fit in it.
won't the magnets in the phone mess up the CCs?
Lol this would eliminate the point of Google wallet

I can't post links yet, but if you search for "Black Vegan Leather Folio Wallet & Case for Google Nexus 4 + Identity Stronghold Secure RFID Blocking Credit & Payment Card Sleeve" you should find what I'm talking about.
The only thing that makes me hesitate is the fact that your credit cards will rub on the screen. Also, would this mystical "RFID blocking" mess with NFC?

Interesting thought about blocking NFC. I'd be interested in finding out.
Regarding the screen rubbing. I just sold my galaxy s3 in favor of the n4 (which I am loving)... I got a wallet case for that phone... Before I got the screen protector. It certainly left rub marks on the screen. Ended up loosing 30 off the price of the phone because of it.
That said, I fully plan on buying another wallet case, because I loved it!

My goto for stuff like this is Etsy. You can find some seriously well made stuff there, reasonably priced, and all done by little mom and pop places around the world. I bought a slim felt wallet from someone there and it still is like new after about 18 months of daily use. I'll be getting one like this (http://www.etsy.com/listing/102626386/iphone-5-cover-felt-leather-pocket-and?ref=cat_gallery_8) when they update Google Wallet to the supercard. License and Google Card will be all I'll need, and that's beautifully simple IMO.

Currently using the bodyglove case that t-mo sells. I really don't like it. Anybody know of anyone else selling a good case for our phone?
Yeah, I haven't found a good one either. Maybe online...
Sent from my Sidekick 4G using XDA app
hard to find a good one...
I haven't found one either, ordered one online but it makes the phone look chunky and it hits the keys when I open/close the screen part (it was cheap)
I suggest using the "skinz" stuff people sell for phones. It's made out of 3m control tac which is actually really durable. I work with the stuff so I put some on my battery cover and it works great, not too slippery and protects from scratches, I've seen a few people selling on amazon for the sk4g that's how I got the idea.
If you want to protect your phone without using a bulky cover or one that doesn't fit your phone quite right than I highly recommend Phantom Skinz.
I have had one on my T-Mobile G2 for 6 months, fitted it myself and haven't had any issues with it and it looks great. I'm currently looking at getting my partner a T-Mobile Sidekick 4G from the US as shes had it with her Samsung Galaxy S and will more than likely buy her a Phantom Skin at the same time.
http://phantomskinz.com/samsungsidekick4gchromatics.aspx
Also I'm fairly sure it comes with a couple of free really nice screen protectors.
Im waiting for otterbox to come up with a solution. I wasnt pleased with the answer when I asked the invisible shield kiosk if they carried a screen for the SK4 either.. they said they dont have it yet and they cant just 'cut a bigger one down' because it voids the warranty.. I may still cut one down from the spare one I had from my galaxyS

Is the body glove with the stand any good?
Sent from my SGH-T839 using XDA App
I don't use a case for mine.. it's already bulky as it is. I do recommend using a screen protector - the one t-mobile sells works perfectly fine, except that at the top where the LEDs are there is an unremovable bubble. It was 15 dollars for two protectors - a little expensive but compared to how much the phone costs it's well worth it. I guess you can buy some online but I didn't want to wait
i got two hard shell cases on ebay, one for my wife and one for myself. we both have the sk4g. i paid 3.95 for one and 4.95 for the other. cant remember which cost what, but mine is black and my wifes has designs, that could have something to do with the price difference. they do scrape the keys when opening/closing the screen, but for what i paid, not complaining. phone still fits in my pouch with the shell, so it works for me. i dont have a link, but the seller was ZyDistro. fast shipping, too. ordered on wednesday, shipped thursday, got here saturday from california.
I just bought 2 cases this weekend via Amazon. Several styles are only $1!!! I got Body Glove for me and Pink rubberized case for my wife.
Sorry to revive something that hasn't been poked in a while but I have an SK4G I bought from my sister and her friend and the hardcase they gave me with it is very smooth and has hearts and butterflies on it (Not saying it's not cool looking but it makes me look a little immasculine. I never go around without my phone in a case due to a few other phones being just fine until that one drop just completely screws it up. I would like a new case that feels nice, protects the phone and looks good, I tried looking for an otterbox but the one I saw was just a box to put your phone in, not very accessible or keyboard friendly at all. So what can I do for this?
Just keep rockin the butterflys yo lol i been using the same black rubber gel type case tbey had at the tmo store when i bought this junk phone.its ok, got a lil loose after a year. just ordered what appears to be the same type off amazon but in blue and white. Thinking about that plastic case work the part that goes over the screen and just using that part with the gel case.but I'm with the comment above, anyone use that bodyglove with the kick stand? I got something similar for one of my s2 kick is nice but the case sucks.no protection and actually has killed the edges of my s2.and its fugly to boot

Check out ebay, they have a bunch in different styles and colors. I bought a few different kinds before I found one I liked. They are as cheap and a few dollars.
the case that covers the backside and around the phone is impossible to remove without this tool XP, so instead of using this piece, I see the belt clip case, but keep the one on the screen

Although I don't have a Nexus 4 yet (waiting for them to go back in stock) I'm still looking at accessories from time to time. Well, Mercury finally has a case for the awesome Nexus 4!! I have one for my G2x, and it's been great to me, so I would definitely get one for an N4.
They have a lot of colors to choose from, and oddly enough, I sort of want the mint or sky blue. I'll definitely be purchasing one when I get my Nexus.

They also have a wallet case. What's nice is they use a TPU case instead of hard plastic to protect the phone.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-GOOGLE-N...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item1c2f4a2eab
They're all from South Korea, which I think is nice cause they make lots of nice stuff over there. Hopefully some of you out there are looking for cases like these!
They look alright. Just be careful because when thieves steal that. They steal both your wallet and phone :/
I ordered a mercury wallet case with a built in TPU case from the same ebay seller. It was only 10 bucks though. Will post my thoughts when it arrives.
I made the mistake of getting the mint green for my Gnex, looks great but in person its very feminine looking...
This looks promising. I like the Diztronic TPU case but I would prefer something even a little more minimal. If someone buys this TPU case, please post pictures. :highfive:

from my experience (had a wallet case from poetic similar to the ebay one), the magnetic clasp doesnt even hold the case closed once you put 2-3 credit cards in the wallet so its pointless and gets in the way
I have the Black Vegan wallet case sold on Amazon for $6. Had it for a month and no longer carry a wallet or kickstand! Its very protective and has a snap to ensure it stays closed.
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.
It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!

Mercury is a Korean brand, and it is "产地:韩国,MADE IN KOREA". Of course, this being taobao, it could also end up being an imitation.

I know right! I'm using a similar case for my tablet, and I take it out whenever I'm at home. For the Nexus 4 though, that could be a very dangerous thing to do... Then again, with the current case I'm using, the bulk makes it difficult to have a one-hand operation anyway.
Ordered this case on Monday from ebay, just waiting for it to arrive from Korea to Singapore. Ordered Lime green/Navy blue and Mint/Navy blue. Will post again once I receive it.
This case is pretty good. The tpu inside is a tight fit and the speaker, cut outs are ample and precise. The colours are pretty funky too. This is the mint/navy blue version. Just received it today

Liking it so far. I think it's worth getting as it can protect the front screen although the power buttons are little tough to reach but it's possible to get used to. Using proximity screen off so that's not really an issue for me

I'm located near Shenzhen China and have been to the stores, which are actually entire buildings, where they manufacture and sell these cases.
These cases are essentially replicas, but they definitely do a good job of copying the real mercury cases, down to the very minute details. Some stores have better replicas than others, for example these Fancy Diary cases may have the threading skipped on the edges, fraying, or discoloration. Here at ground zero, you can pick these cases up in bulk for $15 - $20 RMB which is slightly over $2 USD on average.
Not saying these cases aren't worth it, but just thought it would be interesting to let you know where these cases came from. Being that the price was so cheap, I definitely picked up a few cases myself for friends and family without even thinking twice.
Not being able to decide, which from the two should I pick. Any suggestion?
Tell me which one would YOU pick for yourself and why?

hello guys. just got an s4. always had an iphone and this is my first android so its fun and very interesting device. do you guys happen to know a good underwater case, similar to the iphone 5's lifeproof case?
Seashell makes one... Google "Seashell Underwater case Samsung S4"
...I'd post the link but XDA doesn't trust me to do that.....
LOL. That case is crazy. Im pretty sure the OP wanted one slim like the lifeproof. So OBEX from seidioonline.com
Very interested in this as well, are there any others available that someone could vouch for?
Have a lifeproof for an iphone 5 and it works well. Very well in fact. Waiting on a lifeproof or OBEX for my S4.
i would have to think at some point they would sell the shell of the s4 advanced. it's water proof

I just ordered the Krusell case. I'll let you know how it is when i receive and used it. I just wanted a cheap (too bad its $39 shipped) case to use ONLY when im around water. I didnt want to carry those ziplock looking cases around either.. just something to keep next to the pool or with me at the lake. All the reviews about a lot of waterproof cases are negative in terms of call quality/everyday use. Nobody has reviewed it for the reason i want to use it (ONLY when around water then take it off when im not)
Just use a condom. Works great. I've been to many pool parties where it's fun to throw incoming guests in the pool while fully clothed. Gets a good laugh too when you pull out your phone and it's "protected".
You could always use a DryCASE. Or are you looking for an everyday use case?

They're all pretty much the same thing, just different brands. The ebay one you posted definitely looks 100x better, but these amazon ones have pretty good reviews and people seem to back them up and have mentioned only minor issues.

Since there are discussions on cases that do not work because of the microphone opening on the Verizon model not lining up, I thought we need a thread on cases that actually do work.
Has anyone found any cases that does not cover one of the microphone openings on the bottom?
I want to get a replacement for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid for just this reason.
Just a wild guess but I bet the cases Verizon is selling directly have the proper alignment (no idea though, can't check)? Why would they move the mic hole? I'm guessing to upsell their cases to you? "Oh well, these are the only cases that fit the phone properly, would you like to purchase for $40 now?".
The second another carrier (T-Mobile probably) get's coverage similar to VZW, I'm gone. I can't stand this constant messing around with the phones. Leave the **** alone Verizon, it's going to come back around to you.
The Supcase fits, they designed it with the different position of the mic in mind.
As I pointed out in the other thread, the Samsung protective cover works.
I'm thinking that other than that, your best bet is in store cases...
Yet another reason I'm happy to not be a Verizon customer.
I wouldn't purchase any third party cases without contacting the manufacturer first and ensuring the Mic placement on their case is open the exact mm away from the edge of the charging port.
This case might work, i ordered it for my tmobile note 4 but when i received it one of the mic holes was off.http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NB3AFM6/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_kX3sub1MRVEWY

UAG Cases are good to go! As well as the in house VZW TPU cases.
Curious... where on the phone is the mic that doesn't fit?

I'm using this and so far only issue is if you let the case folks while trying to take a picture can block some of the picture if your not careful, just need to hold the case against the camera while taking a photo.
I bought this one and has never shown up, is 3 days late! !
Will let you know once it finally arrives, asking with

Otterbox defender & commuter fit fine. Looks like they ovalized the left mic hole to be a universal accommodation. Just another reason why they're one of the best!
Here is my Neo Hybrid after the dremel work

So wait stop, you mean to tell me Verizon actually moved the mic hole in their version?? Isn't that a little ridiculous? I thought it was a manufacturing error in my case since I just bought a random one off of amazon, but now it looks like nearly every case I buy will have this issue because verizon decided to move something in the hardware over 2mm???

it's shifted for the verizon model. But certain cases with fit, i.e., samsung protective case, supcase, otterbox
Verizon loves messing with you guys

I have been eyeballing the first one you listed as a sorta temporary case until more companies adjust to the Verizon difference. The price is right. Not sure how I will like the flap tho.

yeah...i know, doesn't look great, but works! hahaha.
Picked up the Incipio DualPro from a Verizon store tonight. The left side mic hole is elongated/bigger to accommodate the Verizon mic position. It it not covered by the case and works perfectly. The case is simiar to the Otterbox Commuter(2 piece case) but is a but thinner.
I get that incipio case delivered tomorrow, glad to hear it fits. I love the soft texture of the incipio case. I've used that same one on my last 3 phones and it's always protected my phones great.
