Ionic Guardian case still 75% off at Amazon - Nexus 4 Accessories

This case is still on sale on Amazon at around $15 incl delivery. Quite a few people have reported delivery issues (delays, cancelations, etc) but from what I've seen the people that have the case are pleased. Just so you know the case cones in two pieces (thanks All__fun). I think if someone wants a cheap but theoretically durable case, this is a good starting point. If you don't mind waiting.
It is nice and well made. It is definitely the bulkiest case I've had as of yet. Also it's difficult to charge using the lg wcp700. It works but has to be put on the charger precisely.[/QUOTE]
All__fun said:
let me just add,
That after having the phone with no case for about a week now,
adding this case truly adds girth to the phone.
Previously the phone would slide easily in and out of my pocket,
you can't tell in the picture, but the case is actually a 2 piece case, a soft inner case, that the phone slides into, and a hard outer cover that gives the phone it's design. (the white, black, pink, or blue distinction.)
This is probably the best case out right now for the phone, but I can't stress enough how thick and bulky the phone is now. If you are willing to sacrifice it's sleek design, this case offers good protection.
I don't have a screen protector on right now, so I cannot add whether or not this peels off or interferes with the protector.
I will also add that with the Ionic case on, when looking at the lock screen, I find it more difficult to swipe left and right between different lock screens. I have a screen lock pattern, and that registers my finger strokes rather than a swipe to a different lock screen.

Looks like it'll protect the phone, while making it look like **** at the same damn time.

I picked one of these up. The reviews seemed really good for the iPhone and note versions

Hey, I thought someone might be interested to know that this case is at a pretty decent price of $9.85. It seems pretty cool!

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2

can anyone who ordered it (from amazon) post these qustions on the product's page? i can't since i haven't made a purchase via amazon yet.
1. is there a speaker cutout?
2. are there optional dust plugs for it?
3. if it's on stock on dec 17, will it arrive to NY before christmas?
thanks!
a seperate question: did anyone find a drop test with this case? i don't seem to find anything on youtube, i couldn't even find an official site.

fugly
i have to agree with the rest of you that it is one fugly case. ugh the price of protection.

If you hating on the circles just get black?
I ordered a blue one just because I'm board of black. I will let you how it is when it comes.

Perhaps the cutouts allow it to cool a bit and also make it lighter.. I don't think it looks bad.
As long as proximity works and the USB and head phone jacks are open I would buy it..
sent via xda premium with Nexus 7 or Nexus 4!

Possibly the uglies case I may have ever seen. But in terms of protection, it looks promising. For ten bucks I would order one right now, if Amazon would accept PayPal. Anyone know of a way to bypass?

Ballistic SG for $19.76 shipped!

Just giving you guys the heads up, I found the Ballistic SG case on Amazon for $19.76 shipped which is more or less $15 off the retail price. It's even cheaper than it is on ebay. For those that don't know, it's a two piece sorta like the Otterbox Commuter but is a lot more protective and I think it looks a lot slicker. I had the SG for my Epic 4G Touch and my iPhone 4S and I loved it. It really is a great deal so I would jump on it, according to Amazon there were only 4 left and I snagged one of them.

Fairly certain. One of the reviewers says it is, and the model number matches the ones on ebay that specifically state they are. Also, Ballistic doesn't have one for the international version on their website, only the AT&T/LTE one. Good enough for me.

Just got mine in! I like it so far, it's much easier to put on than the Otterbox Commuter and I think it looks cooler. I will post a short review after I've used it for a few days.
Yep just got mine on too and man is it nice and snug I also have full skin guard on phone so I was afraid it wouldn't fit right but sure enough fits perfect and feels great I and it looks awesome with white accent of my white phone I'll post pics tomorrow when I'm around another camera!

Thanks for the review/pics.
I have a question, which pretty much is a deal breaker for me.
The rubber that is around the edges and on the corners; how bad does it grip when sliding in and out of a jean pocket? This case make it look almost impossible to slide it in an out of my front pockets. Thanks.

I personally don't have an issue getting mine in and out of my pocket, but I typically wear relaxed/loose fit jeans or casual pants. It might be a different story if you're the type who wear skinny jeans.
I gotta say that the rubber itself might pick up a little white fuzz from Ur pocket but I do have kinda thick legs so even.loose fit is a ill tight and I don't have any problem in and out of pocket the rubber seems like it is pretty "smooth" feeling lol

Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case [FITTED for AT&T ONE X]

Hey guys, i've finally found a case i'm satisfied with. I've been looking for cases around on ebay, always buying those random 2 dollar-10 dollar tpu crap.. and was never happy because it made my phone feel bulky. After a lot of research, I found the Incipio feather ultra thin case for about 22 dollars. Its a lot more than what i would spend on a case but I guess i can say its worth it. It feels ONE WITH THE PHONE. Its light, feels strong and sturdy... just simply clean and elegant. The feel to the case is like a strong sturdy plastic for the structure, and the surface touch is like a premium rubber type material with a matte feel
here are some pictures just because I love this combination so much, hopefully it'l work out for you guys too..
remember to click thanks!

I have one of these...super annoying how it covers the USB port along the front edge. Only the OEM cable works...and even then just barely. Other cables I have won't stay plugged in. Stopped using it due to this.
I wish this didn't cover the USB port as much. Would be great to use around the office.
Right now, I'm using their Silicrylic and love it.

yeah thats true, but im fine using my oem cable, it fits perfectly
i hate using the squared 2dollar ebay cables, they feel cheap
Looks just like the Casemate barely there case that I have. Only difference is that there's no upper lip on the Casemate.
Hmm I like it, very nice. I like how it doesn't cover the top or bottom, or come over the edge too much(around the rim of the phone). Thanks for the info.
Does it cover the camera enough so you can lay it flat on its back?

So cases like these... If you drop the phone screen first it'll probably shatter. My question is do you think that the tpu cases that have a tinyyyyy amount of lip would protect the screen any more?
I have a case that I'm wary about using because it doesn't have the lip around the screen.
Where'd you buy your case from?
Still don't know what color to get... Prolly end up with grey.

about the case not covering the whole phone it does protect it pretty well. the corners rise slightly up higher than the screen. if it falls, most likely it would fall on a corner, or slanted right? what are the odds of the phone landing flat on the screen, perfect 180degrees? but if it does happen to land on an EDGE of a stairs, or a rock(flat face down again) then yeah that might be a problem
but yeah i recommend this case if you want to keep the sleek thin feel of the one x, cant stand thick tpu cases on big screened phones, its like carrying a brick
I just ordered the grey one from amazon. I figured everyone has a black case so grey might look good with my phone. Especially if it's the same color as the grey HOX. Can't wait for it to arrive.

Seidio

Not sure of anyone else brought it up yet but the seidio website now has a picture of the surface case up instead of just a graphic that says "under development". The active case still says " under development" with no picture.
You still can't order the surface case but at least the photo is up. Looks petty good.

It's indeed not pretty. But I'm waiting for the Active case without a ks or maybe just the holster.
I don't really need a kickstand though. But I remember my Sensation Active case had the plastic ks. Not sure why they went with metal. Kinda detracts from the phone IMO. I may just need to look at it closer or when the final renders come out lol.

I'll say this' there is no other case I would trust my phone to in the long run. In my experience (and I've owned a LOT of cases) the seidio cases, and in particular the Active case, is the most protective, high quality case available for a cell phone. Cannot wait to order my Active case/holster combo.
Do the cases get in the way of using the phone?

Nope. I have used Active cases for my Sensation, Kindle Fire and now my Nexus 7. Just waiting to jump to get an Active case/holster combo when they have it available. I wish they made one without a kickstand to trim it down a notch.
These are normally my travel cases for my phones. However the Active case for my Nexus 7 is a daily case for me because I have a 4 yr old .
Super Excited
I have been waiting for the active since day 1 of having my nexus 4... can't wait to order it!!!
Surface in black only for now shipping! I'm not sure if I want to wait for the active or not, I am diggin the white surface lol.

[User Review] Hard Red Case with Gel Black borders.

Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/370726530130?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.

The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press )

Any other cases you have that you can show to compare the size between them?
I'm contemplating on getting either this or a Poetic Bumper since I'm getting tired of my S-line case.

I've got 2 more cheap tpu cases ( S-wave black one and another transparent with a matte back ) but they are fairly similar to it size wise, don't think it's gonna help a comparison between them.

Alrighty, thanks. Looks like I'll lean with the bumper then.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

Looks amazing, just wish they had it in Amazon... It reminds me of the SGP Ultra Hybrid, or a nicer Ringke Fusion...

Could you please post some pictures of it?

SGP Neo Hybrid Satin Silver

Just recieved my Spigen Neo Hybrid in the mail. This case is great the holes for every cutout are perfectly aligned. There isn't one bad thing I can say about this case. The only thing that could be improved in the USB port cutout. It's smaller than many cases making larger USB cords unable to fit. My car charger was to large. Other than that this case is perfect. Great job Spigen!
nice! looks really sleek. how is the alignment for the headphone jack and the bottom microphone? any issues with the power and volume buttons sticking?

Every cut out is perfect. I was worried ordering this because I purchased the Neo Hybrid on the Galaxy s3 and it was horrible. They redeemed themselves with this case. Buttons feel amazing and the case looks/feels the same way.
yeppp the best i already for this one 3 weeks ago , its perfect !! fits in all ways, but after those 3 weeks, back quality changed a bit
I got mine today, too (same color). What a great looking case.

beautiful! i got a white one
So glad it wasn't as bad as their Galaxy s3 version.
looks exactly like mine, but i used a silver button and saved the black for now. did you install a tempered glass?

Nope I don't have a screen protector on at the moment.
No offense to the op, but isn't there already like 7 threads about this case? Must we need another one? Mods should really merge these threads

just got my infinity white today and although I love the look, it feels weird holding the phone now..it just doesn't feel natural in my hands
Got mine today as well - red case

The more the better, that is what a forum is for, storage and bandwidth are plentiful these days, don't worry too much about it.

Have this case as well and it feels too blocky for me. Don't even use it most of the time.

Read the forum rules, the first line.
Picked up the case a few days ago (they're local).
The best thing I'v done is pick up a Spigen case. This thing is SHARP. Precise fit and finish. Best case I've bought for any cell phone I've owned.

See I love the way the case makes the phone feel. I have gotten use to it and it has grown on me. I like the way the phone looks has very sharp lines and people always ask me what phone that is because it makes it look like a different phone.

I couldn't agree with you two more. I wish I would have read things like this before I spent $30 on this case
