Guys,
I'm a HUGE fan of Case Mate and their Tough Cases. Myself use one, recommended atleast 8 friends I know who are either using a Desire HD, Nexus One or an iPhone 4 and they all have Case Mate's toughcase
They retail at $29.99, but looks like there is a sale going on - All Tough Cases selling for $9.99 (free standard shipping in the US)
You might want to check it out here
I recommend the Blue and Black or the Green and Black
Great case. I had one that I sold with my original N1. Looks like they're temporarily out of stock now though
just buy the 2 pieces separate. same price.

Thanks for the advice. Just picked them up separately.
Thanks for the heads up! Any problem with lint on the silicon?
BTW all of the colours are out of stock

However, they sent the pieces together in 1 box labeled Tough Case, already combined, as if I bought them as a single product.

These remain out of stock. Some of the skins can be bought separately, but the shells aren't back yet.
Yeah, still out of stock.
I was considering giving it a try.
Just spoke with a Case-Mate representative over the phone and was told that the Nexus One Tough Case is now discontinued and they do not have any more in stock. All they have left are the soft silicone inner skins that pair with the outer shell.
Kind of sad that a great phone that really isn't that old at all is already pretty tough to find good accessories for.
I think about using a case like that for my N1. at the moment i am using the original nexus one case. but of course, it is not very safe compared to this case.
I broke down and bought one of these cases on Amazon because I was unable to find one elsewhere. No one carries them and as my last post stated, they're discontinued by the manufacturer. Received the case yesterday and all I can say is that if you're on the fence about getting one, DO IT. The case fits PERFECTLY and feels very high quality. It doesn't gather an excessive amount of lint, and even comes with a nice microfiber cloth and clear screen protector. I already dropped the phone once today and the case did an absolutely beautiful job protecting the phone. Really too bad these aren't being made anymore.
My only complaint about this case is the soft silicon skin under the trackball gets loose quickly. It still stays on, but doesn't look or feel as good.
Well just placed my order with amazon, problem is they wont ship to NZ so have a mate over in the US that comes back in a week or so, getting it sent to him and then he will bring it back
Well damn, looks like I got one just in time at the beginning of January! And it's a really great case. I sure feel like my Nexus One is safe in there.
For the record I emailed Otterbox CS and they replied saying they have no plans to develop a case for the N4 boo, I was hoping for a commuter

just wondering but why do you like ottebox cases, im currently using iphone 5 right now cause i missed first batch of nexus 4's and my otterbox case makes my iphone 5 a brick, the nexus 4 is thicker then iphone 5 so it would be a even bigger brick.
My opinion is you should pay ~10 bucks for slim high quality case on amazon
You'd be much better off with a Ballistic or Trident case, Otterbox has the worst quality materials out of those 3 imo
Whatever case will protect the phone from cracking i will get, i dont want to feel like the back is so fragile and have to baby the phone beyond reason
They say this every time a new phone hits. I'm sure we'll see one in a couple months.

They always say that. I guarantee there will be one for the Nexus 4.
Here is one for the Optimus G...

Definitely won't fit. N4 is completely different than the OpG exterior wise.

very sexy!
Well, that makes my Amazon Wishlist of Nexus 4 cases obsolete. Need to get this one!
looks very nice, but its too expensive for me at the moment!
(UK) £15.99 + £5.99 shipping!!! how on earth can they charge that much to ship it?
It does look nice. Still waiting for the phones to come back into stock and hen I will buy one...
I ordered a bumper on the 17th, got given a delivery estimate of the 19th (didn't expect it to arrive on the Monday) Hoped it would turn up Yesterday or today but on checking the status it had moved to 'Pending' on the Play Store Gave Google a ring and the guy I spoke to reckons they are sold out and on backorder, despite showing as 'In Stock' on the Play Store (UK)
Bumper is def worth the wait! Sexy piece that def helps enhance the protection of the phone too!
looking forward to picking one up.

Cool video, can't wait for mine to arrive!

Despite ordering one of those Chinese cheap cases on Ebay, I still want one of these.
I would have laughed if he broke the black glass when throwing it around. They do look good, hope the phone sells enough for us to get a choice of bumpers like iPhone users get
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
I have one of the bumpers on my phone. I love it, even though I hate cases with a passion. It is very premium, the plastic feels more like rubber and the buttons feel like they are a part of the phone instead of feeling like they are a part of the bumper. I would highly recommend one. It makes the phone a tic (mm) wider but it makes it balance better in the hand. I pulled it off and just holding it without the bumper felt sketchy. There was no texture w/o the bumper on the phone and the balance is different.

Is there anyone else making bumpers for the Nexus 4?

How much does affects the "swiping" feature of the glass?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Does the bumper provide good protection?
Does it surprise anyone that there are so few options for cases with a flagship phone that has been out for over a month? I am looking at common manufacturers like Rearth and Ringke and coming up short. At least I can be reasonably content with the Gelli cases and the diztronic I bought. Looking at the Spigen site, and seeing the wealth of options for the Nexus 6, a phone that likely will only attract an extremely niche audience (even more niche than general Nexus users, of which I used to be one), I was really annoyed and surprised that they aren't doing cases for the Moto X.
I'm sure a lot of manufacturers are just waiting to see how well the X is selling before they invest time and money into designing cases. A lot of the big players were late out of the gate with the original X too.
OK, that perspective gives me hope.

I emailed Rearth USA and just got a reply about the Moto X cases. They are currently in development and are expected soon. Just FYI.
I'd personally love to see something from Urban Armor Gear or Nillkin Border Armor.

UAG's new designs don't excite me as much as their older ones did. I've switched to Magpul for my favorite case, have one for my N5 and have one on order for my iPhone 6. It's highly unlikely they'll make a Moto X case though, unfortunately.
I never needed any armor type hard case. Just got the Trudia lightweight tpu case. All of my phones have had these similar lightweight tpu cases and have survived drops... so far.

Probably not much. The Moto X isn't a very popular phone.
Decent Otterbox deal
I got my Moto X last night. I just snatched up an Otterbox Defender on EBay for $40 shipped. Not too bad for a new Otterbox with beltclip.
How are you guys liking your phones? I got mine in the Cyber Monday deal direct from Motorola and got the Lollipop update immediately. Lots to love about this phone so far.

One of the very few reasons I miss ever having an iPhone was for the Magpul field case I had. Maybe one day the stars will align and I will have an android phone for which they make a case! *typed from iPad rMini with Magpul field case* [emoji12]

I just got my Field case in today for my iPhone 6. Been waiting well over a month for the damn thing but obviously it was worth the wait. So now both my N5 and my iPhone have them. Awesome.
Been meaning to get one for my iPad mini. I'm assuming you love it, right?

Yep, great fit.
Hoping something from verus (iron shield) comes out for this phone. In the mean time this i-blason tpu is perfect with the dimple cutout.

Glad I could help. ;p It makes holding the mini a lot more pleasant than holding it naked, sadly (damned slippery aluminum and sharp edges).
Gonna grab a TPU case in the mean time for my ordered X 2014; crossing my fingers for Magpul or UAG.
I have the i-blason case and its pretty nice, buttons are a bit harder to push now but its not a deal breaker.

Diztronic are the only TPU cases I'll ever buy. I have one for every one of my phones. Gonna order a Supcase hybrid case as well. I have one for my 2013 Moto X. They aren't the most comfortable case to hold but they look cool and they are cheap enough. I'd recommend looking into that as well as the Diztronic TPU.

Yeah, I have diztronic for my Moto x 2013 atm (and one in the mail for the new phone). Had the unicorn beetle for a little bit on the 2013 but wasn't a fan of the cheap-feeling plastic and the poor molding (read: sharp) on the bumper area.
EDIT: UAG case isn't going to happen. Email response from inquiry:
Hi ******,

We currently don't have plans for the Moto X 2nd Gen ; however, the landscape of our product road is a constantly evolving picture and this may become an option for us in the future.

Yeah, UAG only makes cases for the most popular phones. They had actually designed one for the 2013 X but ended up scrapping it. I don't even care about them anymore though, I am in love with Magpul. I'll shoot Magpul an email about the X, though I highly doubt they'll make a case for it. I was surprised that they made an N5 case though, so who knows.

looks good.. but for that high of a price for a case, i'm hesitant, because the only cases i've ever bought were for the nexus 7 (both versions) and those either cracked or broke apart with normal wear.
Yeah, it is a touch expensive. I bought the revised official bumper case for my Nexus 5, and it's still in fantastic condition. It was $35 on Google's old store, as well. I got the version with the fatter, actually usable buttons.
I do also have quite a love for Tech21 cases, but I got the one for the Nexus 5 used, so the clear plastic is unfortunately scratched up.
i love the clear plastic look... but i find a lot of them start turning yellowish, did you have that problem?

I'd like to get this case for my black 6P but $35 is s joke, a case shouldn't cost 7% of the price of the device. The case reminds me of the cool Nexus graphics they had on the Galaxy Nexus and the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.
I don't suppose we'll be lucky enough for it to hit Amazon or eBay for less. Maybe there will be China copies soon!

Cheaper than getting Nexus Protect ^.^
I bought one of each. I like the felt like back of the official one and I also bought the adoption one
Still waiting for a wallet case. Need something to hold ID and CCs since I've done away with my wallet.

Well UAG cases are usually $40 plus if you don't like it Google is really good about returns so that's why I bit the bullet and bought 2 of their cases. I still have others coming from Verus, and some other no name TPU cases. I want to protect the sexy phone in style because it looks really nice with the microfiber or whatever on the back
---------- Post added at 07:24 ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 ----------
I just ordered myself an adopted clear one too because the other one I bought is for my wife. I think I'm good now on cases after getting 8 of them.
I didn't have any issues with it turning yellow. It was actually a hard plastic case, hence the scratches. Apparently toothpaste can buff out scratches, but everyone forgets to mention that you shouldn't use the gel kind, or any toothpaste with flavoring. Who even has plain paste-style toothpaste?
I got the carbon one ...
I ordered the Carbon with the phone. Its expensive, but looks great. Cant wait to have it and the phone together in my hands
I got the carbon for my aluminum 6p
Ordered the Quartz to go with the Frost phone.
If they could take this case and make it a wireless charging case instead. that would be awesome.
You guys made me but this case. Hit the quartz
I got the carbon one for my graphite 6p

It's the felt or microfiber whatever it is one. I really like the way it looked I usually don't spend that much on a case though
