Inexpensive Nexus 4 Sleeve - Nexus 4 Accessories

While this sleeve isn't specifically designed for the Nexus 4, it is designed for the Galaxy Nexus which is almost the same shape / size as the Nexus 4.
I've been using this sleeve for the past day and I love it, especially for the price. At $12.98 it was an instant buy IMO.
Lastly, I have tested inductive charging while the phone is inside of the sleeve. I personally have the LG Inductive Charger from Verizon and when I place the phone in the sleeve and then the sleeve (tab facing up) on to the charger it does beep and begin charging. I still usually pull my phone out of the sleeve when putting it on the charger anyway in hopes of a more efficient charge (it being closer to the coils).

compared to other sleeves this isnt really cheap.

Do you think this would fit the Nexus with the bumper on as well? Cheers.

Absolutely not. It's a perfect fit for it without a bumper, there is no way the bumper is going inside of this. Sorry

$12.98 is inexpensive IMO. Other sleeves that have been posted here are really cheap in quality to go along with their cheaper price.

I agree, this is not cheap at all !
defin good looking though... tempted... anyone looked at ebay ?

Thanks for the Tip! I ordered it for my Nexus 4, I'm just a bit concerned about the fit since the N4 is ever so slightly thicker than the GSM GN. Its not super tight in the case is it? I'd like it not to scrape up my device.

The black version is sold out on Amazon, so I decided to go for the brown/tan version (which I think I like more anyways).
Previous poster: The GNex and N4 are SOOO close in dimension that I just can't see that being the case. I mean the GN is literally .2mm thinner than the N4.

The Nexus 4 actually fits inside of a Galaxy Nexus TPU case. The camera and stuff doesn't line up properly, but it fits. Any GN sleeve is going to fit the N4 just fine.

Nice, thanks for the review and pictures. Here are a few other sleeves and pouches: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998567

I had this same exact case for my G2x, It wasn't as nice and didnt fit as well as it looked on the web. I really miss the fusion case I had for my MT4G that one was my favorite case. It was very similar yet much better. I wouldnt buy this case again for my sensation after seeing the exact one on my g2x This was the best one for the MT4G: http://www.ambitronic.com/product_info.php/mytouch-fusion-case-p-480
This was the same one as the sensation that I thought was pretty bad on the G2X (and I had two of these cases from different venders)

I've had my TPU case for a few days now, and I've found that it obstruct a micro-USB cable so it does not solidily stay plugged in. Do you have this issue as well or did I just get a bad vendor? (I have this one - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054HA45A )

Case & Screen Protectors
I just got the this case for $5.95:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XYHW1Y
They also sent two screen protectors for free. The case is very thin and it lets you see the phone's back, which is great. This might not be the case for someone looking to FULLY protect the phone, as it doesn't cover the top and bottom of it.
Now it is only $1.99 plus S&H, it doesn't gets better than that. Although not related to cases, you should buy this car charger:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S5Q9CA
I got it for my N1 and it works great with the S4G.

bought that kind, dont have it yet. did have on on my mt4g, worked beautifully. Fav case ever. usb port was a little tight on generic usb cords, but the htc cables have small heads that fit fine.
In my searches for a good TPU case, I came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180699200569&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_738wt_1037. It's cheaper than the TPU-Cases brand and it also comes with a screen protector. I think it looks great with a matte/gloss dual finish, but I'm not sure if I should buy it with the lack of a power button cutout.

I REALLY like the way that one looks, and with free expedited shipping, its worth trying. It't be sweet if it were orange though.
I just ordered 1 of this hard rubber and 3 of this tpu cases.
I believe they have a very good price and high quality.
I bought this case last week and it is the best tpu case I have ever seen or used! Looks so sexy on the sensation. It has all the extra holes on the back as well and it fits like a glove. The seller is also selling one for $2 more with a screen protector. Can't say how the sp is as I haven't tried it, but I highly suggest this case.

Not especially. It's a high quality, rugged case on par with Otterbox. $35 is far less expensive than the insurance deductible on the phone if it's broken (trust me, I know).
I just ordered mine not too long ago - I've been waiting on this case.
Use the discount code "QRSHIRT12" for 10% at checkout. Not a lot, but even $3.90 helps!
Or you can use ALL4LOVE FOR 20% OFF! Does anyone know if it includes a screen protector?

This case BETTER be good, as I think 36 bucks is a steep price compared to other rubberized cases that have been available for a long time for the N4.

That's a pretty standard price for a high quality brand name case.
It's a $36 investment to protect a ~$400 dollar device. I'm sure you have bigger things to worry about (like not paying $150 to LG for repairs).
I bet it will be awesome. I have been waiting for a ruggedized case for awhile now.This is going to look nice and be good for when I am camping, fishing or doing any of that other stuff.
Just ordered one as well! Was extremely excited to get an email from Ballistic notifying me that it was in stock. Like others have mentioned, there is a 20% off coupon that was with the email:

I have nothing but good experiences with them. I actually prefer them to OtterBox these days.
Any word on if this will work with an induction charger?
How do these compare to Seidio's Active cases? I'm wanting to replace my TPU S case once I get my nexus back, especially more coverage where my rear glass did break (around the camera lens).
Thanks OP, Ordered one!
Anyone know how to make the shipping to Australia cheaper? The cheapest I can see is almost $60
Needs more colors. Black and hot pink? Really?

From what I've read, thickness of the case is what prevents induction charging, and this being about the thickest case available right now for the n4, I can guarantee that induction charging will not work with it.
I had a ballistic hard core case for my HTC evo, an even thicker case than this one, and it was definitely more protective than the otterbox defender. Highest quality cases, if protection is your highest priority.

I ordered one, but I'm concerned about stickiness. I have an ionic armor one now and it always gets stuck in my pocket and attracts an awful lot of lint and dust. Anyone who's had one of these before, how bad is it?

This case doesn't really stick at all. The hard shell has a soft touch feel to it but it is minimal and dimpled like perforated leather so it is pretty smooth. You might catch on the silicone corners but they slick up pretty fast. These cases are large but as was said earlier, if protection is your desire they are the best. I've gotten this case for the nexus s and galaxy nexus and they are the only case that really protects the phone, doesn't peel screen protectors, or scratch anything inside. If you get a screen protector you will be all armored up. You could chuck your phone and not worry about damage. My wife's galaxy nexus did a full end over end cartwheel after a drop and landed a good 10 feet away. No damage on the phone or case at all. These are awesome. The only downside is that they are really bulky.

Cases That Allow QI Charging?

Does anyone have first hand experience with cases that allow QI charging? I'm getting my phone back from screen repair today ($200 later) so I guess it is time to buy a case. Never needed one on my others phones and they all survived, but so be it.
What cases have you guys used that allow wireless charging to function properly? I am tempted to get just the tempered glass, but then I know I'll break the back or side somehow, so I might as well get a case.
Anyone using a case with QI?
The cheap tpu s line cases work fine. Also, dbrand skin and bumper work. All from personal experience.

All of my cases work with wireless charging only the Boxwave Resolute gives me issues. Cruzerlite, Rearth Slim, Mercury, Meifeng, Nillkin and KLD all work great.

Thanks!
You can use all of those without taking them off or taking them apart at all? I'm looking for something that'll protect the phone in a drop, yet I can pull it out of my pocket and straight on the charger. No off and on case.
I really appreciate your answers guys.
I'm liking the look of the cruzerlite. It seems like it should offer regular drop protection. Do you agree?
Now do you think the cruzerlite will work with any of the tempered glass protectors? I'm paranoid of breaking this phone now. I actually bought the S4 and returned it and decided I liked my N4 enough to get it repaired for $200. Just love this phone and need to make it last until nexus 5 at least lol.

Yes none have to come off to charge and the Resolute will charge it just requires a precise placement and then still stops charging but it's easy to remove if I need to charge.
Final question I promise, do MOST cases allow me to use a tempered glass screen protector with them?
I'm thinking of just buying a few cases at best buy today and returning whatever I don't like.
I would really like tempered glass because my beloved ghost armor did nothing at all to prevent my phone from being destroyed.
I use a simple sleeve case by Gizmoskin. Although it is so easy to take the phone out of the sleeve, you can leave it in and still get wireless charging through the sleeve.

Look on Amazon. I did get one, but I wasn't happy with the finish, compared to the version shown in the thread (which I also have).
I would also love to see a replica Note 3 cover for the S4. I've looked on eBay, Amazon, and various other threads but haven't seen one that I really like. I have a blue leather pattern one on my S4 now, but to be honeset, it's rather ugly...:crying:
samsung may release a cover like that for our s4
Really want one
No way. Samsung will probably keep this design for the S5 or F series. However, I'm sure that somebody will launch a cover like Note 3's one day.
you can get a leather one from here, mine arrived today and although its quite expensive its a lot better than the one that amazon sells.
alot of cases you get out there can very cheap quality and not last long. id rather spend $20 on a good case then $10 on a case that will last a month
so anyone got any from ebay that is of good quality and is same as Note 3 ? There are alot of people selling now but don't know which one is worth buying. also that glossy sides turns me off.

Draco Hydra Bumper Case For Galaxy S4 (Review)

I was a Lumia 920 user and loved the way it looked. A month back, I switched to Galaxy S4, but soon found how cheap it looked compared to the Lumia 920. There is day and night difference in how solid Lumia felt and Samsung felt. A friend of mine told me about Draco and how good-looking your phone becomes after putting it on.
I bit the bullet and bought it. It costed me a hefty $99, and so far, I have been very happy with it.

Unlike the iPhone 5 Draco case (which I also have), there is no signal drop at all (although Draco claimed there would be no drop in signal in iPhone 5).
+ Looks amazing
+ Excellent built quality. No rattles anywhere, whatsoever.
+ Makes your phone unique
+ Does not affects cellular or Wi-Fi signal strength.
+ GPS works just fine.
+ Phone no longer feels slippery. It adds good grip, thanks to black plastic accents
- Price. At $99.99, not everybody can afford it. But if you can afford it, go, get it. Do not get the cheap knockoffs, as they may affect signal strength.
You can find my complete review here. High resolution pictures can be seen here.
Got any questions? Feel free to ask them.

I could maybe justify $100 for case, but for THAT? No way. Lifeproof or Otterbox, maybe. Maybe.
I DO like the way it looks, just far to expensive.
that ducati case looks like it makes the phone way too hard to hold on to lol
id buy the aliexpress version
Why would they put Ducati on the case? I really think it shrinks their target market down to non existent. Even if I owned a Ducati, I wouldn't want it on my phone, its just odd. And from my experience (I had one on the S3 that looked much better) it messes with the signal.
The Element Eclipse is a much better premium style case and it doesnt mess with the signal as much because the metal doesnt wrap around where the antenna is. Any metal case that wraps around the antenna location is going to mess with the signal somewhat. Plus with the element, you get full protection and you can find them for under 20 bucks on ebay.
I'm glad you're enjoying it, I doubt they sell many though because of the strange decision to slap Ducati all over it.

The draco hydra design looks cooler than those simple bumpers. Either way I enjoy the ease of removing my battery, with a case like that there wouldn't be anything easy about it

Actually, mine is very easy to take out. The face on my aluminum bumper slides off to let the phone out that's actually the only reason I bought it. The one above looks like the screw on type. That I couldn't deal with.

I had the one for s3 and iPhone 5. They did somewhat messed with cellular and WiFi radios. Looks like this issue has been resolved in GS4's case.
PS: You can choose not to put the Ducati sticker on the back. But yeah, you can do nothing about the one on the case itself.
