I came across these Amzer TPU cases and wanted to let everyone know that there is another alternative for TPU case for your Nexus 4. I was also wondering if anybody has any experience with this company or this product?

Wait for one that doesn't have that tacky S shape on it.

Ordered one for a temp. Would be pissed if I dropped the phone while waiting for cases to come out
I ordered one of those "tacky" s shaped cases before they released the phone lol. I like the style of them. Ive had them on all my phones. Not to mention it provides some protection for that touchy back glass on the N4.
I wish the S shaped cases had a style similar to the Sensation's back plate.
I have Amzer tpu cases for my Gnex and Nexus 7. They've always had great fit and protection.
Heres a Clear S Shape one. I thought it looked good enough to purchase.
May not be my final case tho.

TPU is the best stuff, it doesn't scratch or get dirty, and it's very grippy. I hate the back glass on the Nexus 4 as it's the opposite of all those things; I want a skin for the back of the phone but don't want a case (I use two docks and they have no clearance for cases.) I can find skins all day of fake carbon fiber and metal, but does anyone make a thin overlay of TPU? I'm beginning to think not, or that the way skins are made they are limited to a few textures. If anyone knows differently, shout it out. Thanks guys.
I don't know of any but that sounds like a really fantastic idea. I would buy one for sure
Sent from my Nexus 4
Yeah, I mean the carbon fiber twill looks nice (well, it did before it became so prevalent) but it doesn't add much tack to the surface. I just want the back to be made out of the same stuff the sides are.
Hi all,
I'm thinking on going with a skin this time around, rather than a case. For the first time I'm really impressed with the design, and I'd like to not cover it up. So what's your view on this? Are there skins that do a good job preventing scratches? good manufacturers? Anyone had experience with skins for the Note 3?
My plan for now is to get something from https://www.decalgirl.com/

I might get skin too. I change battery alot. Are skin easier to take off then case?
Is skin like bumper?
No it's not like a bumper. Here's an example of a skin:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaCc7_1aK3Y
Depending on where you get it, some companies guarantee easy installation and removal. This is the top skin at the moment for the Note 3 at DecalGirl:
https://www.decalgirl.com/skins/194547/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Skin-Flower-Of-Fire
It says: Easy, bubble-free installation and goo-free removal.
Here's a nice one from Skinomi: http://www.skinomi.com/sk13209-samsung-galaxy-note-iii-brushed-steel-skin-protector.html
Might even be better since I don't want skins for the sides and front.
Edit: Skinomi already has a few products for the Note 4

iCarbons
I always use a skin along with the Seidio spring clip holster and tempered glass protector. The ones I always use are from iCarbons, the quality can't be beat imo! Everyone is always asking me where I got it from. I hate cases they take away from the feel of the phone. Check them out!
Why is it so hard (impossible) to find a quality case with a vertical kickstand? Am I the only one who wants this feature? Is there something about the engineering of such cases that makes it a tough feature to incorporate? I can only find the cheap cases that have this feature and they are usually poorly made and very bulky.
Samsung has done us no favors with the variety and availability of good accessories for this phone. However the Seidio case is what have chosen. Nothing vertical yet. And I have looked. Thoroughly.

Im the other person in the world who misses the kickstand i had on my Trident Kraken case for the Note 3. I LOVED that case!! Unfortunately, Trident isnt making one for the Note Edge.
As for kickstands, I haven't found one attached to a UAG Maverick style case yet. However, I have seen the kickstands that you buy separately. A simple search on Google will It's not a perfect solution, but it's doable. Im considering that option for my Note Edge.
Your thoughts??
not vertical, but i got the seidio surface and it is a beautifully made, strong case with horizontal kickstand
For most phones and tablets it's pretty easy to find decent cases, iPhone and iPad Users are spoilt for choice, Samsung useres can also pick and choose how they like, even for the Nexus 5X and 6P one can find an abundance of cases in any color shape or form. But not for the Pixel C - doubtless this is because of the slender market for this tablet. I have been looking all over the net for a simple TPU case for the Pixel C, you know the type of silicone case that just covers the back of the device but not the screen. All I could find was universal folio cases or smart cases with a lid. I even tried my luck on searching Chinese wholesale but no luck. If anyone has come across a simple back cover only TPU or hard shell case that only covers the back please let me know.
Thanks so much.

I also want a TPU case and haven't found anything anywhere - ebay, amazon, vendor sites
This is exactly what I'm looking for as well. All I can find are folios. :/

yep. this. i want the rubber bumper case type cover because the back of the device is so slick that it tends to want to slide off my lap. also, it would be nice to have something to soften the bezel edge because it can dig into your hands if you're holding it for a long time.
Totally agree. There seems to be a Chinese design for a bumper case, however it doesn't seem possible to order it at the moment. Anyone else had any luck finding one ?

Potentially
Came across this guy that might fit the bill:

No reviews and takes forever to ship. If it were cheaper I'd definitely take the jump, but I'm a bit skeptical...

I already contacted them, the description is wrong. They sell "normal" pu leather folios, some are bundled with headphones or screen protectors. They removed the product i mentioned in my request but all other bundles are still listed with the wrong description.
what a freakin' tease. i would have loved to have had that clear tpu case.
All products mentioned are found on US Amazon.com
So far the only TPU case I have seen that's for Pixel C <--- does NOT fit Pixel C as customer lefted a photo review on the product he received.
http://www.amazon.com/Junsi-Leather-Headphone-Google-Tablet/dp/B01CQTFSKO
I do not have it in my possession to test the fitment yet, just wanna get the words out with others that's looking for one.
(granted the demo photos doesn't show pixel C in it, but some other products. Just hope these China vendors get the fitment right.)
Other interesting alternatives I have seen so far is the full body coverage skin
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi%C2%AE-TechSkin-Protector-Replacement-Anti-Bubble/dp/B017L0UKOW
Personally I'm currently using Moko's folio cover as the additional thickness it added is still deem acceptable to me and does the job.

Hey there, the skinomi skins work just fine. A bit of a pain to apply but not too bad, just watch their intructional Video. But this is just a Skin and no case, so no drop protection really.

Thanks SonySteve I have the skinomi techskin on. Just such a shame though, as I would have loved a simple bumper case.

That's exactly my concern also. At most it'll just prevent scratches on the original metal body, wouldn't prevent / provide enough protection from possible little bumps / drops during daily uses.

Exactly, a Skin is not enough, a Folio Case will protect the Pixel C allround but I really dislike the front Display flap. Very annoying. I opted for buying the skinomi techskin combined with this http://www.amazon.com/Booncover-Uni...=UTF8&qid=1463390156&sr=8-2&keywords=Reboon+l
This is expensive though. Would have much prefered a simple bumper case. Grrr.
Negative on the potential TPU case I shared the other day.
A customer that got the product, left a photo review saying it aren't the right fitment.........
http://www.amazon.com/Junsi-Leather-Headphone-Google-Tablet/dp/B01CQTFSKO
This is frustrated, I can't find no bumper case for this device.
i thought about trying to find a similar shaped tablet and using a tpu case for it and i would just make my own camera/speaker holes. not the prettiest solution but i think it would get the job done. the closest thing i could find to the pixels dimensions was the galaxy tab 10.1. so i'm thinking about picking up this case:

Let u s know how well it fits. Thank you and all the Best
I ordered a cheap chinese tpu case for a samsung galaxy tab 10.1 but it does not fit.
The corners of the Samsung device are rounder than the pixel c. Height and width are ok.
I had to remove the corners of the case, now the tablet fits, but the corners are needed to give the case stability and keep it around the tablet.
Without the corners the case slips down of the tablet easily. I hoped it would fit but without the stability it is useless for me...
