I was not able to get the bumper case when ordering my nexus and I want a case to prevent broken glass.
I have a samsung GSII and a bunch of otter box and seidio cases for it. I tried the seidio case on the nexus and it fits. Just like the dock I posted earlier it is not perfect, but its good enough for now. The camera is covered, but it will do what I want until I can get a case that works.

For work purposes, I wold like to have a leather holster that can accommodate my Epic that has a Best Buy platinum case. Thanks!
I've also been searching for a side pouch/case that will hold my Epic with a case on it, but I haven't had any luck. I have the $20 Sprint Protective cover on my Epic.

Just as an fyi the best buy case is nothing but a seido case. While I can't specifically help you anything forthe seido case will work for the best buy case.

I haven't been able to find one that will fit. Why not just buy a leather case for work and take off your platinum case? This is just my preference, but on days when I need a more "professional" look at work, I take my hard case off and use the Samsung Galaxy S leather case with my naked Epic (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-OCTSBLNBBCC). Then when I have those days when Im doing something more physical and need better protection the hardcase goes back on. In my opinion, the Epic looks better naked anyways.
I have the Galaxy S leather case and be warned the epic fits very snuggly in it. Heck that link in the post above mine, I typed in epic 4g to test compatibility with the case and they say the epic is not compatible with that case (even though sprint is pushing it). It is to the point where I am thinking about trying the seidio leather case to see if it fits better. I am kinda worried because the seidio case seems like it might be a generic case not specifically cut for our phone.
So yea, I have the leather galaxy s case and I am still looking for a better leather hip holster solution.

I'm with Masterface - same situation. Epic is VERY snug in Galaxy S case and makes it difficult to pull out easily sometimes.
Anyone find a good working leather case? I really miss my blackberry case where you slide the phone in bottom first, lets you grip on each side to get it in and out.
If one doesn't come up soon I may go for the Body Glove belt-clip/swivel/stand/case. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=827717

Perfect fit for our naked Nexus 4, as I'm rocking one right now.
Interesting -- the N4 is just enough bigger than the GNex to fill up the room that would be occupied by the Surface case, eh? If I hadn't already bought a belt holster, I might well have been interested; I had a Seidio belt clip for my N1 and liked it a lot.. Can you post a photo or two of the phone in the holster? Let us know how it does, i.e., if you have any accidents where the phone springs out accidentally or the like.

I will try to put up some pics tonight..... it honestly fits like a glove inside.... its not going anywhere once inside.
This is great, although by the time my N4 arrives my chinese s cases chould be here. I hope more people report what non N$ cases fit though.
This could be a good option...

for those interested, I just received this case in hopes of using it with the nexus4 like the op claims...
it does NOT fit. the holster is much too large for the naked phone
You're right, I really screwed up. I'm terribly sorry.
I have a lot of holsters, and must have confused myself.
I just checked, and it looks like the HTC Sensation Seidio Holster fits the Nexus 4 perfectly, but the Sensation Surface Holster, not the naked.
Really sorry, and hope you can resolve this. Feel terrible.

Tested with my Active holster for my HTC Sensation and works well with it naked. But not to be a buzzkill, but I do not want my N4 naked in the holster. I have dropped my sensation from this very holster with cases on. I am going to get the Galaxy Nexus Surface holster to see if it fits with a tpu case on or not.

I can't believe they want $19 for it, I bought one for my Rezound and it was $4.

I am getting the Surface holster for the gnex-at the office waiting for me tomorrow am. Anyone know if it'll fit with a tpu case on yet?
Seidio has Surface and Active cases with kickstands that are in development right now in addition to a holster that will work with them both. They don't come cheap though. I have used their products on a number of my phones and I have to say that they are worth every penny. Very protective, the fit is awesome and they even make charging stations that work with the cases on. I reckon by the time I actually get my phone, the Seidio cases will be available.
I'm using my seido active holster (90% sure it is the active holster, the one with a rubber and hard plastic parts for the phone) with my N4 with a tpu case on it and the holster fits almost perfect.

I have the Seidio Surface one for the Gnex and it doesn't fit with a tpu case on. It's a little loose with the N4 naked, but that's a no go for me.
Just an update. I am getting the Diztronic Ultra Thin One Piece Hard Shell case as well to see if it will fit the Surface holster. Will report back next week or whenever I get it in.
Here is the linkage to the 'thinner' case. Keep in mind it doesn't cover the bottom or top of the phone. Alas the some of the "thinner" aspects of the case. Remember to use XDA for a promo coupon code if you haven't done so yet. The code can only be used once,and I already used it on my other TPU lol.

I think I'll be picking up one of the Seidio Surface/Holster combos when they're released. The Nexus 4 is an awesome looking phone, but the back is so slick it ends up sliding away on it's own. This also seems to be one of the only ways to get a good holster for the phone.

Ok, going to by this phone for my wife as well as a case for it. Problem is, she drops her old phone like crazy and I've had to replace her cheap plastic case on it probably 6 times in the past 2 years.
So what is the most protective case for this phone vs. drops? I've tried looking around, but only see some cheap flimsy cases as well as the Otterbox Commuter. Anything else? Is the Otterbox a pretty protective case?
I like my Otterbox Commuter. I'd say of all the cases available (that I've seen) it will protect it the best.
With that said, I used to have an iPhone 4s with an Otterbox Defender case - and this commuter case does not come close to protecting as well as the Defender case. But, because of the sliding keyboard I'm not sure a Defender-style case would work.
Or at least put the same grippy rubber material on the Commuter case.... That's probably my biggest complaint with the Commuter case, it makes the device slippery instead of grippy.
Regardless, I don't think you'll find a more protective case than the Commuter.
Agreed, I dont think you will find a more protective case than the otterbox. That being said, I dropped my photon Q about 2 feet with the otterbox commuter and the clip on the corner of the screen protector broke so now plastic ring for the screen sits on there still but one corner is flimsy. I can see with more drops eventually the clips will all break and I will be forced to buy another otterbox. The price you pay I guess.

this... no joke either
Otterbox on the following devices (mine and family/friends):
HeroC, HD2, Evo3D, GalaxyNote, Photon Q, Droid 4, Evo Design, Galaxy Tab, and a few others I cant remember at the time but are mostly friends/family's, IE not mine personally, just helped them get their own
I've been using it since day one and I absolutely love it. Pelican makes top of the line cases for many applications. This is the first phone case I've owned. I don't see any reason to buy an otterbox. This case truly nails it. Google for general pictures. I can take some if needed.
It also has a removable screen protector, and holster that can be used as a stand.
I had the Pelican case for a week. It's ok. It doesn't have port covers or the outer jacket that's on the otterbox.
I saw this case at the AT&T store its definitely no OtterBox and its priced exactly the same
For first time I found a tpu bumper on eBay today. Just like the one on my nexus 4. Also it comes from CA, AND IS 7$. Hoping it works with my qi back
Link?
No idea how to get a link on here. Go to eBay and type
Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Hard Crystal Clear Hybrid Soft TPU bumper
I'm curious to see it when it arrives

Pretty sure this has a plastic backing, like any other case, and not a "bumper" design like Nexus 4.
I don't see in the pics any evidence of a back. I'll know soon enough. I'll report back. In the pics it shows nothing like a back
Tpu bumper very good
I RECIEVED my TPU bumper I ordered off Ebay. Very good. Reminds me of my Nexus4 bumper. S really hoping it would work with the QI backplate, but it doesn't. ALMOST.... But no. The bottom of the phone with the Qi case is just a tad in the way, so it doesn't allow the bumper to extend enough to keep the screen off the surface face down. Man, it would no take much of a change to make this work, I whisk someone would catch on and do it. They would sell a bunch. 6$ and it's everything I'd expect a true bumper to be. I'm still using it, just gotta wait I guess to use my TYLT VU
