If anyone had seen one it probably would've been posted here.
From what I've seen most people are buying a case and/or extended battery.
I'm personally getting the Anker SlimAstro 3200mAh battery. Enough for >1 charge but not very bulky.

Your best bet. The battery is non removable. So, you can't uglify your phone by getting an extended battery+ case.

It is removable. It's just not easily removable like a Galaxy nexus.
I imagine if demand is there, some companies could produce replacement rear doors for this phone that could house a larger battery. Would be sweet.

Not the easiest most feasible thing to do.

i have scoured the internet to no avail on this... they still make them for iphone 3gs lol i had one and it was awesome i want one for this beast as well

Power bank makes cases for everything I bet we will see one

Someone need to make a case that holds a removable extended battery and an SD card much like the http://www.iexpander.com/ for the iPhone 5.

There is a different type of battery case that hopefully will be made for Nexus 4's. It's technically an external battery that doubles as a case. I think that's what most of the people on this thread (including me) is looking for.

Something like this? http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/popn/popn-charger.php
It's not quite a case, but similar and allegedly compatible with the Nexus 4. I have one on the way and will be testing it out soon. It appears that it will block the camera and/or flash though, so that is a downside to this sort of a solution.

exactly the type of thing i want for my nexus 4

...
I made a BIG portable (10000mAH) battery. when I go on a trip I will take it with my nexus 4

I doubt it nexus phones have a short shelf life, compared to galaxies I'm making my own battery case with a 3d printer

Short shelf life? The Nexus S got Jelly Bean, that's better than any other phone of its generation, and better than some of the next one (*cough*HTC*cough*).

ironically they made the battery case for the nexus s and galaxy nexus but not the most successful nexus...maybe the previous ones didnt sell well so they are hesitant.

I'm betting we will get one soon

Maybe we should start contacting all the battery case makers show them we are interested

Wow, thanks for the heads up on this. Expensive, but a nice solution.

Another case I'd love to try that isn't produced for the N4.

These things look pretty sweet. I imagine the same story as Otterbox as far as the N4 goes, I'm afraid.

You guys have to understand that with getting a device targeted to a select group you lose out on many things. Including alot of cases. This is one of the prices you pay for being part of the select few.

Exactly! Why won't any big contenders make any cases for the N4? It's not like it won't be profitable. What really gets me annoyed is how many companies such as Otterbox already are selling S4 cases even when it just came out. Aren't we as important?

Sadly, no.
Look at the GS4. Not even a month after release and already going to hit 10 million sold vs. Nexus 4 nowhere close after 6 months. For profit companies have an easy decision to make.

Just ordered one red frame black back

Since the link you provide auto forwards me to ebay at this time, I'm going to not order one.

http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/
Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.

Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.

Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

That thing is gonna destroy your signal. Aluminum back plates kill it, it will be even worse with full sides as well.

I know this case... This seller did not produce or design it themselves. The simply bulk ordered from China and asked the factory to print their logo on the case.
I'll post a link to the sgs3 equivalent which I've had my eye on for half a year but was worried about the signal depreciation issues.

Here is the link to the sgs3 version http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Capi...-metal-i9308-3-protective-case/877636913.html
isn't it strikingly similar?

too iphone looking, no thanks.
if I wanted that look I'd use my iphone 5

I refuse to buy knockoffs.

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+

Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case

Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for Nexus 4

Recently XGear recently their Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for the Iphone 4 and 5.
Here's the Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xgear/krystal-sapphire-screen-protector-for-iphone-4-4s
What I would like to see is that they will also create this screen protector for the Nexus 4. The fact that XGear has already made certain protectors for the Nexus 4 makes them an excellent developer for this amazing screen protector.
They could create a kickstarter project for this nexus 4 and see how many people actually would want this screen protector.

let us know when u get it how it feels on the phone and maybe some pictures. I was reading about their Holy Grail Series and seems to be really good since it says its rated A9 in Mohs scale with A10 being diamond. I wan't to buy it but I'm afraid of how it plays with bumpers or cases like the Ringke Fusion.

Help Get Pixel UAG (Urban Armor Gear) Cases Made/Developed :)

Posting these pics of their iPhone version, because... Well... It's kinda similar to the Pixel with the location of the camera.
I had UAG on my:
-Galaxy s3
-Galaxy Note 3
-Galaxy Note 4
-Galaxy Note 5
-Galaxy Note 7
It just doesn't seem right not using a UAG case! They're ideal!

280+ views overall is not to shabby.
Hopefully a decent % of these views are going to the site to request a pixel case (if they would intend to buy one if course)

I have a feeling it just won't feel quite right for me if my Pixel doesn't end up in a UAG case.

Good point... I see SUPCASE is making their Unicorn Beetle. That'll have to be my quasi UAG replacement.
I also have the Spigen Rugged one on order, and the Rhinoshield crash guard.
Sounds like a decent selection even without UAG.

If I were a betting man, I'd sadly bet that there will be no UAG case for the Pixel or Pixel XL...

With the number of Pixel XL's being sold. This makes no sense why they would not make one. They should sell many of these. I have always used UAG cases and will be disappointed if one is not released.

When I got the email from UAG announcing the V20 case I about fell out of my chair...same thoughts here. I hope they come around. This is a hugely popular phone and I'd love to slap a UAG on it to match my 12" MacBook.

Made my contribution. we shall see. I have a UAG for my RIP Note 7. Would get one for my Pixel XL.
