S3-like case for N4. - Nexus 4 Accessories

I really like the style of case on my roommate's S3, so I went to Amazon to try and find a similar style case. These are the results of that:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Google-Nexus/dp/B00A6X3Z30/ref=pd_sbs_misc_1
and
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBack-Protective-Google-Nexus/dp/B00A6X3ZVC/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1
Order soon.
Ordered both for $9.90 and now they are $6.95

I had a Poetic hardback case on my Nexus 7 and I really liked it. I may pick one up for my phone just because of the price.

What was the material on the Hardback? It looks like a leather-like material on the page.

It was some sort of fake leather. Felt pretty nice and worth the price. I believe I paid 12 bucks for it.

Yep its been posted in the nexus 4 all in one thread and the bumper thread. It looks nice though
I just purchased both of these cases. It's gonna be a looooooooong wait.

Yeah, I might try their bumper. The Atmosphere case doesn't look like it would do much for protection, just looks like some thin plastic and nothing to absorb shock if it was dropped?
If I get any case I want something that incorporates a bumper with a hard and clear backing to it,

I have the full body screen protector stuff but I want the hard clear case on the back too, just to absorb some shock since it's glass on the back.
A bumper will have to do until then.
They look really cool but Dec 30.
I hate how Exact-Deal always raises the prices, even when they say they'll stay the same. (Now 5.95 and 6.95 USD each)
doesn't look that good

I don't think they'd be able to do that since we already paid for the cases.
Hmm.. too bad they don't have a black/black bumper or black/clear atmosphere case. Personally, I feel the combination with gray totally takes away from the beauty of the phone; it looks ugly. Just my opinion! The price is nice minus the shipping date.

The color looks really bad
I dunno... Compared to the Google bumper case, the render of these look kind of crappy. Either way, I'll look forward to the review. I've stop buying cases and am waiting for the Google bumper to come back in stock. Two disappointing cases is enough for me for now...
they couldve made it all black. not that grey would add to the design anyways...
Been waiting for a reasonably priced bumper. I've been checking ebay and amazon religiously since I ordered my N4. Thanks for the heads up on this. I also ordered the Poetic hardback flip case and the Poetic slim flip case. They'll have to do until this comes in or ebay has aluminum bumpers!
I had the atmosphere on my i5 and had 0 issues. Awesome case too.
The i5 scratched easy in general due to the crappy anodized aluminum

Diztronic vs Rearth Ringke Case?

Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)
Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.
And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?
Thanks
the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.

Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.
Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?
Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.

Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.
Ringke All the Way!!!
I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.
Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.
Edit:
I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.

I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from [email protected] but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.
Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.

Well the Ringke will just protect from scratches. The Diztronic is TPU so it will protect from small drops.

I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.
This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.
I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.
I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.

Same. The rearth is junk IMO. I was disappointed since I love the slim on my gnex but it just feels like they cut a lot of corners on the N4 version.

Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.
Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.

The Best Case For The Nexus 4 - IMO

I currently own the following cases for the Nexus 4:
i-Blason SoftGel Flexible TPU Case for Google Nexus 4 (12.95)
Ringke Google Nexus 4 SLIM Case ($9.99)
Androidified A2 TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 by Cruzerlite (12.90)
- The case that I would say is the best for the nexus 4 is the case by Cruzerlite. IMO it was the most hip and awesome case, though not as professional as the Ringke or i-Blason case. It offered Mild/High protect and it alleviated my fears of dropping the phone. The Ringke case was simply too cheap and flimsy for my taste but it was the slimmest. The i-Blason offered great protection but it made the Nexus 4 look bigger then what I wanted it to be. The case with the perfect fit and feel was the case by Cruzerlite, making my phone look more attractive (and I'm not saying this cause it has a Google android imprinted on the back lol).
Overall if you want the perfect case for the Nexus 4 I strongly recommend the Androidified A2 TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 by Cruzerlite. Trust me you won't go wrong.
Feel free to offer your own opinion on the following cases above.

Slim Case thats semi translucent

Hello,
I have a Moto X Pure on the way and I would like to get a case for it that allows me to show the phones back colors while protecting it to some degree and not make it so much larger and bulkier. The phones back color is Deep Sea Blue
The cases that stand out to me are the Incipio Octane, I-Blason Halo & Vena Retain. Do you folks have other suggestions ?
Any experience or input if those cases would allow the Blue to show through ?
Thanks,
Pete
I got a clear TPU case from EBay for $4 and its very slim and fell nice in hand since the back curves with the phone.
I just picked up a pleson clear case from amazon for 7.95 the other week, So far i like the case alot, its very slim and fits great
If you want a completely clear case and are comfortable with all TPU - then +1 on the Pleson: http://amzn.to/1NuSTcr, or if you want a hybrid (Colored TPU sides with a hard clear back) then the Vena Retain is a good choice too: http://amzn.to/1OCskTL.
I have both, and my personal choice as a daily driver is the Pleson. It's a bit slimmer and really shows off the back of my red leather. But either are good choices.
I have the i-Blason case. I think it was about $14 on Amazon. Thin. Shows the back fine and has a bumper (I got the black bumper). I think the only case thinner would be one without a bumper.
I appreciate all the info guys...I wonder what the difference between the I-Blason and Vena case is, are the materials the same, anyone have both ?

idk if it helps, but this is the aforementioned Incipio Octane. I wanted the same, a semitransparent case that was well made and would hold up and also still fit after i applied a dbrand skin. Incipio sells these on ebay directly. Express Depot is the name of their store, iirc.
i also bought a dual pro as that is my go-to case for any phone, but i keep going back to the Octane. pictures in ads/on websites dont do it justice.
i've got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/12205791935...49&var=421092565560&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT from Poetic...they have with and without the black trimming...so you can go completely clear if you'd like.

I am coming from the GS6, and have a Neo Hybrid on it. It is the best case I have every used. Little to no added bulk, and awesome protection. I have dropped my GS6 all over the place and dont have as much as a minor scratch on it.
I don't know where the post is but someone on reddit had a link that showed Spigen tweeted it would be on the Spigen site by weeks end. Code: fallfest gets you 20% off on their site until 10/28
Yes, great case. Its the only case I ever pay for.

Thanks for this. It is a pretty sweet looking case. Not a big case fanatic but need to get one since the phone isn't cheap.
I cannot afford this case. Lol. Added one to the cart and they bumped me to a million
These are available on eBay direct from Spigen for $16.99 and free shipping. All three colors are there. The only catch is that it is a "pre-order" and they give an expected deliver date between Mon. Oct. 31 and Fri. Nov. 4 as of now. Amazon and the Spigen website have them for $24.99 and not all color options on either. I don't exactly get it but I'm in for one.

I think that was made in Zero G on the ISS. Or made as One case to rule them all! ?
I got mine today. Got the blue one for my black Pixel coming tomorrow. The blue looks really nice. The case feels nice in the hand. Also the case makes it pretty much the same size as the 6P without a case. https://imgur.com/a/Tw8Nk
Ended up with the blue version easier to find the phone. Really wanted a clear case for my silver phone. However I want one that protects well but can not seem to find one totally clear. Would love to go naked with the phone but it costs too much not to give it full protection.
Got mine this morning. Nice case to be fair! The back is a nice soft touch material and the added bulk isn't too bad. It's a nice snug fit too which is reassuring. I imagine it is fairly impact resistant due to the outer plastic surround.
Still not sure if I will use this or the clear spigen tpu case which is a little less bulky and holds on to the prettiness of the phone, of course provides less protection than the neo hybrid too mind.
Thanks for pics, I just ordered one this am.

It's so so expensive, as nice as it looks...
$25 bucks for a case to protect your (minimum) $750 investment really isn't so so expensive. Just my opinion, but you are certainly entitled to your own.
Got mine in yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it overall. It looks great and feels like it should add a good bit of protection. It is just a touch bulky, but not too bad.
I also grabbed the Neo. I was hoping the bumper was aluminum but it's not....
