I can't recommend these cases enough. I loved the Slim for my Galaxy Nexus. A very well designed case with minimal bulk. I doubt it offers the most protection but for those looking for just a little extra protection, this is the way to go.

EDIT: says it releases on the 30th but I just got a shipping notification from Amazon. Fluke or awesome? Not sure.
EDIT 2: Just got shipping notification. it is in Texas. 11/29/12
had a rearth slim on my nexus s and was pretty satisfied with it. I don't even have my N4 yet but I'm tempted to order at that price
edit: just realized its for preorder
Also preordered the matte black case and screen protector. If this is as good as my Slim case for my Gnex it's going to be a good investment :good:
I wish the case covered the whole bezel, the top and bottom are exposed
Is the white one matte or glossy? i really cant tell from the pictures

These cases are minimal drop protection, perfect for the minimalist, not so good for a 6 foot drop. (Although you will be surprised what a little bit of material can do!)
If you want something minimal, (a little bigger than Rearth, but not otterbox) look at the Dizitronic TPU cases. http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46_76

The Ringke Slim was excellent for the Galaxy Nexus and even better for the iPhone 5...count me in. Ordered.
Agh, why did they make it protect the sides and not the top and bottom like the GN slim case....Maybe because it was so hard to remove the case, heh.
I ordered the white one a few hours ago and just got this email wasn't it a pre-order? I even got a tracking number
I ordered overnight and just got a shipping notification from Amazon with a tracking number (USPS) as well.
so it's true, they are shipping already... btw I don't even have my n4 yet XD
I'm not sure if my information is entirely accurate - but the girl I talked to said that once they generate a shipping label - it would show up on amazon as shipped... However, the product itself wont be shipped until the 30th.
I'd suggest to call them:
9:00am-6:00pm (CST) Monday - Friday
Call: 469-250-1307
Does anyone know if there's a eyelet for phone straps on this case?
I understand the importance of a case like this... I just don't get why design a sexy glass phone just to cover it up so you don't even see it.
Wouldn't a truly smart design be sexy and durable not requiring a case?
Ordered.
It's a gorgeous looking case but as mentioned before, the top and bottom part of the bezel is open.
Someone needs the same make a case where there's an opening in the back so we can show off the Nexus logo.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
I picked one up as a temporary case. I'd really like to have the back shown off though, so I'll probably replace this with the bumper when that is available.

Just got my white, clear and black ones in today. Cases fit like a glove. Tighter than any other TPU case I've ever used. Not sure if it's the case or just this phone design. It is very slim and minimal. White on white is perfect for me. It doesn't take away the phones look at all. At a quick glance someone wouldn't even notice there was a case on the phone.
Highly recommended...make sure to order the OneXL version.

But only thing is that the camera lense looks exposed. If you set it down flat on the table, it sits on the lense. Here is comparison between my clear case which protects lense and the one I have which is like this tpu case.

I got my clear from Amazon. I don't think it had the picture though. Found it by name.
To the guy above I do wish the camera lens was protected...maybe a little bit thicker just around that, but I can't say enough how slim the case is and it doesn't add any bulk to it really.

I like slim, thats what I was going for with the casemate barely there case, but without that protection around the lense, it doesn't truly serve its purpose for being a case.

To each his/her own. Since when does protecting the camera define the purpose of a case. That's like saying any case besides a OB Defender doesn't serve a purpose because the screen is exposed.
I like going without a case so having this is better than nothing. I'm not worried about the camera. Pics taken with my phone serve no purpose besides maybe FB.
I went for the "Buy One Get One Free" deal on Amazon and picked up the Black, Clear, and Smoke colors. The Clear looks best to me on my white One X. I usually change cases every other day so the other two are back up

Hey guys. I just want to share this case I got for my GS4. The case feels good in hand and it doesn't add that much dimension to the phone. All in all this case is effective for the external impact protection and surely your S4 would look so sexy once you dress it up with this case. For $29, I wouldn't really keep this case, but I got the case with 50% off last week at amazon. Thanks!

Isn't this the case that I read somewhere was giving chipping problems on the bezel of the s4?
Is the back of the case plastic-y or it's rubber? It'd be terrible to pull out of a pocket if it's rubber.

No that was the spigen super thin TPU one which I guess is really sharp on the insides. and fits really loose and is all around a piece of crap
It looks nice, but the sharpening of the corners. Makes it look a little too much like an iPhone for my taste. That said, how's the quality and fitment? Do you feel it adequately protects the phone? I just ordered an Incipio DualPro shine. Hoping it doesn't get here before the phone does

I have no idea about the bezel chipping they are talking about. As far as I can see, there's no contact between the plastic frame and the phone, only the TPU. It probably happened due to mistake installation or he could be changing cases very often.

It is like you buy insurance, if you know when you will drop it, there is nothing to talk about, but $20-30 to protect your $600-700 investment I think really is worth it.
Check out the Poetic Atmosphere case, here's my review on it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280103
It's a nice looking case and it's cheap too.
Sent from Flip's S4
I've been through two feature phones and three smart phones and I never used a case until this one. For previous phones I would at most put a skin on them. I dropped my last two phones (Palm Pre and Nexus S) from ~2 feet a few times and each time it landed on a corner. No major damage, just scuff marks. The reports across the web are that the S4 doesn't hold up too well in comparison to other phones when dropped. The screen runs right to the corner which makes me worry. That plus the phone being so much larger (and harder to hold on to) made me decide to go for a case. I went with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and I think it's great. Doesn't add much thickness, looks great and should protect the phone.
If you're looking for something stylish, I'd recommend either Verus Oneye - http://www.zoarah.com/by-brand/verus/#ty%3Bpagination_contents%3B%2Fby-brand%2Fverus%2Fpage-2%2F
Or
Spigen Slim Armor - http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor.html
Or If you dont mind a big case(with better protection), a Trident Aegis - http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505.aspx
Today I went shopping for alternatives while waiting for the Spigen Neo Hybrid I ordered from across the atlantic, and stumbled across Samsungs own Protective Cover +. I had no idea what I was buying, but thought it could be worth the 20 bucks. Turns out it's actually a pretty solid case, with a sturdy polycarbonate back and what looks like TPU all around the sides. It even has holes on one of the corners to fit wrist straps and such.
I'm not a big fan of the grey TPU for the white version, but other than that I'm really impressed. Despite its name it's probably no more protective than a basic TPU shell though, in particular because it doesn't add more than a millimeter height to the edge of the screen.

Maybe a slim back cover is your like, covers are form-fitting snap-on covers that protect your cell phone without adding a lot of bulk, have openings for camera, volume/ side buttons, headset, charger jack and kickstand which allows access to all phone functions.
Nope, they aren't worth it when there is need for cheap Black Market spare parts.
Not a case man either but this case made me keep the S4. lol As far as being worth it ummm yea it's a 500 + phone. Only takes one drunk night. hehe
Any good s4 cases with reviews?

I like that one in red it looks slick, doesn't look bulky too. Might get that on my Xmas list thanks
The neo hybrid by Spigen is probably the best looking case for S4 for at least. However the Samsung Protective cover+ isn't bad at all too but not that good looking tho.
Really wanted that case but I got the white phone for a reason: I like to see my white phone. If they had an option to replace the black back with white I would have gotten the spigen. Ended up getting a clear tpu from best buy. Not the best protection but the lip on it covers the screen and looks good/keeps it slim.
UAG, offers valuable protection and durable and sturdy. The looks of it may deter some people but I love mine, dropped my phone a few times and no damage done.

I've noticed that there are a lot of threads for rugged cases, slim cases, vinyl skins and for people who want to use the phone naked (with Nexus Protect, hopefully ).
But how about covering the phone in a clear, transparent skin to protect the soft alluminium against scratches, while preserving the awesome look and design of the Nexus 6p?
I've found a handful of such skins:

I've got the first Skinomi you listed installed on my aluminum angler while I'm waiting for a dbrand skin to arrive. Although I've used the Skinomi screen protector before, this is my first time using the full body skin. In short, I love it. I typically carry my phone in my front pocket and so far there's been no peeling, scratches, etc... It adds a nice tackiness to the grip. I doubt it provides any drop protection though. Visually, I can't tell there's anything on the phone.
Bought xtremeguard to protect mine while i waited for my vinyl skin. The screen guard had huge cut outs for the speaker and the proximity sensors were covered. That leaves a lot of glass exposed and a black screen on calls.
The back was also poorly cut in terms of fit and finish. There's no skin provided for the visor, and the top edge of aluminum around the visor was completely omitted.
I bought that for $2 back when there was a sale code, but it was definitely not something I would keep on the long term. That being said, the visibility through the skin was quite good after you let the skin settle in about 2 days after installation.

Here you go. I could have aligned the back piece a bit better. It's a little low. I figured I'd just leave it though since I'm expecting a dbrand. Also, there is a skin over the visor as well.
Those pics look pretty darn good actually. I wouldn't mind a clear visor vinyl, but I'm rocking a matte black already.

Yeah, about the only thing they missed was a piece directly above the visor. I tried putting it in the Google Adopted case as well. It barely fit, but I hated the look, so skin only.
Just ordered a Bestskinever full body skin. We'll see if its cut out better than the other ones.
All these other brands seem to share more or less the same cuts, ommiting the strip above the visor, and not really covering "edge-to-edge". Waiting for some company to solve these issues. I'm mostly excited about Slickwrap's Naked series. It had perfect coverage on the HTC one M8
