Yes the Seidio cases will have kick stands apparently. Unfortunately for me, I love their phone cases without.

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering if there's anything already out, I know most phones have some cheap plastic stand cases and was wondering if they're available at least

Nothing yet in my searches recently. And Seidio IMO is the best kickstand available. But I would also want an option for a Surface or Active case without the kickstand. I have a tablet to view stuff. I have the Seidio Active case for my Senny and I use that case for travelling so it works out on flights, but other than that, I find no use in the kickstand.

Just an FYI; they usually produce a case right after their kickstand case without the kickstand. they did this for the GNex and I'm willing to bet they'll do this for the N4.

I hope you're right. Thanks for the info. I was starting to look elsewhere because I dislike the kick stand.
P.S. My only other wish is that we have the option of a non holster style cover. It makes it to bulky in a handbag & a lot of us girls have no use for the holster.
The Poetic case doesn't exactly have a "kickstand" but it will allow the same functionality.. semi-wallet too

Because the back of the N4 is so nice i don't want to hide it.
Is there any cases with clear backs. I've seen some cases that are two tone, but the are mostly cloudy/blurry.
Anyone seen any good ones?
Cut one open........ :thumbup:

Same. I want one too. My ideal case is...the back is transparent. Lol

I think I'm going bumper and full body screen protectors to see how that works. I usually have my phones naked, but this seems like it would scratch too easy without the fully body screen protectors.
I ordered full body protection. Thinking I might wait for speck or incipio to launch a case or else get a bumper

I'm going the same route. I already have the bumper and I love it. The back is too slippery though so I'm going full body protector.

I do as well but im not sure if its going to give me enough protection because your only sure to be safe if you drop it on a totally flat surface.
Here in Australia we can order the bumper but $19.99 + $10 shipping.
So essentially a 50% tax. And you can only order 1 so no split shipping

Bumpers are the only kind of cases theoretically that show off the back, right? Other than cases that have a transparent back?

That's kind of what I want, a case with a truly transparent back, but it might not have the same glinting effect, I'm not sure.
Bumper with optional transparent back would be cool

this kind of case do the same job.
But I doubt this company will make one for N4

Check out the cases from tech21! Their impact band seems like exactly what we need. Someone here said they would be making Nexus 4 cases, if I recall correctly. Source? Maybe we need to "pressure" them. But that's the case I'm waiting for.

If you don't mind my asking, where did you hear that? I'd love an Impact Band for the Nexus 4 from them. Thanks.
Hey i was thinking as no bumpers are available
can we make a bumper out of tpu case by cutting it?
don't want to hide that awesome sparkly effect of nexus 4
what say any tried that out
Tried it and it works to a point but unless you cut it precisely or with a machine it won't come out right I used one of the clear S line series and had a lot of miscuts o well

If you're considering a TPU bumper, then might as well get a Poetic Bumper, as that is what it is. Their Poetic Atmosphere is a clear TPU with "bumper" material in the right places, as another option.
Did it as well, the sides are a bit too lose if you want a true bumper. Cut it more like a poetic and it may be fine but I regret doing it for what it matters.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
so you guys say that it is better to have more thick and cut less so the tpu material can withstand the forces?
Has a s-line case. Got a second free from poetic. I made it into a bumper. It looks horrible .... Would not recommend unless you have an extra FREE case lying around.

Also looking for a great bumper case that doesn't add much bulk. Don't need it to protect the phone from any drops, just want to place it on a surface without having to worry about anything.
The Photive one looks alright, but some of the reviews said it added lots of bulk to it. The others on Amazon that I see all have reviews saying they fall apart though, so I don't know what to do on this one...
Check out Marware Bumper Case on Amazon. I have one and I love it!

That case looks awesome, but in the end I wanted a true bumper, one without the back cover. I ended up finding (and purchasing) one from Cruzerlite. Somehow I forgot to look there even though I've ended up using one of their cases for every previous Android phone I've owned.
Here's the link for anyone interested. I'm actually gonna try sanding off the logo that's sticking out if I can, as I like things to be as clean as possible.

Found this awesome case for a expensive price... Does anyone saw some similar cases cheaper? For me the best about this case is the very slim design.

I do not know of any with similar design, but I can vouch for the seidio, I bought the active model, with the silicon and abs layers (on the phone right now) and it was well worth the money, I have dropped it on concrete and tarmac from shoulder height and while moving and the phone is still pristine. It is the slimmest rugged case out there. So if that is anything to go by then this case should be good and worth the money also

Just picked up the phone and I am looking for a good case. I always keep phone on the hip, wondering if there is a good holster case for the phone that isn't too bulky. I've never been a huge fan of Otterbox cases but if that's all that is both durable and a holster I guess I will consider it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Supcase makes a decent one that is thinner than the otterbox. The only downsides of that I've seen is that no matter which way you put the phone in the holster, the volume buttons can be pressed. The advantage I see with the otterbox if that the phone can be locked in screen out and the holster used as a kickstand. I personally prefer the otterbox but you will pay more. And the otterbox when I looked was only available from Motorola and otterbox.
Try seidio. They have one that I use and have used for years for different phones. The one for the Moto x pure edition makes the phone less slippery to me. I usually buy an extra holster because I am hard on them and the spring clip breaks eventually.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the replies. I didn't think Seidio made for the 2015, but will look again. I've always had pretty good luck with their products. Will compare that and the Otterbox if I can find it.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Seido does make one. They sell the case and holster both individually and as a combo
Supcase holster and case can be modified actually . I just took a hack saw to the other tab that would cover the volume and power keys . The only downside is you are left releasing the phone from one side only and in one orientation . If this isnt a problem for you . Then this will be a fix for you . Also removal of the built in screen shield is a pain in the ass . Otherwise I love mine since I modified it
Good to hear that there are cases available. Do any of them work with a GPS type mount for a car? Not sure if one even exists that fits the phone either way.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
Not sure about GPS mounts. I've seen a few that claim to work with phones with 6 inch screens (i.e. Nexus 6) and they might be big enough.
For the car, check out the arkon MG279.
Holsters
I use a NiteIze holster http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Cargo-Mobile-Device-Holsters.asp - the extra tall one. I've used their other holsters for previous phones and they work quite well at protecting the phone.

^^The "double wide" works well with this phone too.
If you want to carry your phone without a case but in a holster, this Note 5 spring clip holster works great with the Moto X Pure:

The Note 5 holster really is a perfect fit and better than a Note 4 holster.
