I found this case on Amazon .
Did anybody of you already buy it?
It looks very good, and the aluminium plate inside the case should give a very good protection if you put your Nexus 4 in a rucksack or bag with some other things.
Is there a similar leather case with some sort of protection built into it? Because the main downside of this bag is its high price...

Looks like a quality product but the price is pretty high to buy it without any reviews.

Looks good, but $30? Probably not. I'll think about it when it's $20 since it's aluminum plated on ONE SIDE ONLY.

I've ordered it but it won't ship for another week or two. I currently have the SGP Crumena leather pouch for my Galaxy Nexus. They aren't making one for the N4, so I had to hunt down for another similar pull tab case. The only ones I found are this one and another from PDair but theirs does not have the pull tab. I had a Proporta leather case for my old iPod Touch and found it to be very good quality.

Maybe I don't get it, but won't this shield the phone from cell/wifi/etc)

I think you are right, but as richteralan said - the aluminium plate is one side only, and the antennas are on the back - so they should work fine.

I bought one. I'm not typically into these types of cases, but heck, why not?! I've spent $30 on dumber things

Got an email from them. They cancelled my order because of "compatibility issues". Seems like they were intending to use one of their cases for another phone for the N4 and it doesn't fit properly? who knows. pretty annoying though.

Heads up! I bought it before it got discontinued. Just tried it out.
They are right.. It doesn't fit. It's waaaay too tight and the phone doesn't fit all the way in That's a real bummer imho. That's the best looking leather case out there in my opinion.
So if anyone knows of a similar case. Please let me know Doesn't need to Nexus 4 exclusive. Just Nexus 4 compatible

Body Glove Cases.

Any Idea's of where to find them? i had one with my G1 and loved it.
same i want one but body glove dont make it yet.. hopefully they do soon
Best cases out there are the naked cases by case mate don't know if they plan to make one for nexus or not sure hope so. Hate not having any protection at all!
I had a body glove case for my MyTouch and it broke within about 4 days. Was really disappointed I paid $20 for that thing =\
Any hardcore protection case would be nice at this point. This slide in case that came with the phone just ain't cutting it.
^agree, I need a metal case to protect this work of Art!

If your MyTouch went unscathed from whatever broke teh body glove case then you should not be dissapointed as you did not break the phone. While it should not be a one-time thing, the case may have protected the phone as intended.

The part that latches on to the belt ripped, wasn't from a drop or anything like that.
Great looking Case! - but it's only a tease for now
I came across this site that makes some really *SLICK* cases for the ....other phone....
too bad, but maybe when N1 hits a few million sold, they will do a similar design for the N1.
here is pics and link:

Yeah those are very nice. However, they appear to be hardcore Apple. But maybe if they got enough Email requesting they would consider?
That case is soooo perfect I want one so bad.. I sent them a message via contact us telling them they should make one for the nexus one and I also sent them a link to this thread everyone that would like one should definitely send them a message

I ain't going to lie. i've went through two body glove cases on my G1 and both broke the same way. The little plastic clips the held the case to my phone snapped off after time. As far as protection goes the case did a good job quite well and body glove has proven to me that they are good phone protectors. They just need to get better in other little areas.

Would that be CaseMate? Tough?
There are quite a few threads open about cases already...
I bought a 2$ silicone case from dealextreme, still waiting for it to come in, but good reviews on it.

Can you show us some pics?
I am sure it's been mentioned before and there are probably even some reviews, but I can highly, highly recommend the Case-Mate Tough for the Desire HD. It's an amazing case, by far the best one I've used.
I've had it for a couple of months already. It fits great, looks great and feels great in my hands. So far after 2 months of use it looks like brand new - no wear around the edges. One thing I was a little bit concerned about in the beginning is that the bottom part, which is rubber only (look-up some pictures) would stretch and sag, but that hasn't happened at all.
Just go out and get one, you won't be disappointed ;-)
I got a Case-mate Barely There case.
It's good enough for me as i haven't dropped my phone so far. usually happens in the first few days.
Screen film is also great, can barely see it and the phone is perfectly usable.
I Got A E-Cell Carbon Fiber Case,
Got It Off Ebay For £4.99
Seems To Be Of Decent Build Quality
Tough case user here too, awesome case. Lovin it.
no cases ftw
I am using one from Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=1153&pid=8890)
Has been serving me well and saved a drop too! DHD becomes more rugged with this.
Otterbox is the best bet for protection. I'm currently using the defender series. It feels really safe and secure. Although quite expensive, well worth the investment.

I've just got the otterbox commuter and it seems great, phone feels really good to hold in the hand and looks like it will protect phone if I drop it

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...
you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection
Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.
Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.
Here some pictures:

Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.
I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.
Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

Best Cheap case![Air Mesh]Caseology Dual Layer Armor Case

Best Case I've used so far. The caseology dual layer.
It gives great protection, just adds a little bulk, case with a good grip.
There's a lot of cool color combination and best of all its just 7.99$.
the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:
Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.
just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!
- Off Topic- i just realise
Just bought this real leather flip cove caser on Amazon.de (Germany) for 6,99 euro`s. Link http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00IXEKEW4/ref=pe_386171_38075861_TE_item_image.

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!
just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.
just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping
I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

WoWWWW
any comments about this who have and what about nillkin brand?
No comment on the brand name. China brand names are mostly just names on generic product. Didn't like the aluminum bumpers on any of my phones. Tried it with a Note 2 and S4. They're bulky, have a slight gap because of the thin neoprene layer. Just didn't care for it. I like the idea of a tpu bumper and replacement battery cover as a minimalist look with protection. Only wish they'd make a battery cover with a kickstand, then I'd go with the bumper and have a great combo.
I like the look... I already order 3 cases that I probably wont use much...lol
I end up going naked. haha:laugh:
Funny how the labeled the mic holes as speaker holes.... on a positive note it looks like the cut out is big enough to fit both designed.
I had this bumper for my LG G3. Nillkin makes really solid cases. Very good quality.
I also ordered black color. Pls who received the bumper write here comments and pls attach pictures.
I am a sucker... I order one. Lol

Not the case with Nillkin, they make their stuff in-house and it's not generic rebranded stuff. They make quality cases/screen protectors.
awesome find, I'm gonna order it, i hope it works for the at&t variant
Ordered a black one and a red one. Thanks for sharing!
If anyone receives theirs take a few pics and let us know your thoughts in this thread Please. Looks S.E.X.Y.

dears who received the case? pls share info and pics and how is case?
nice! ordered a black one. looks awesome. i also ordered the nillkin slim case that's like a feather case. can't wait to get!
No one has received their case yet?
Mine is still in transit from China.
Pretty pricey for a case that came from china, usually even the spigen knock offs cost 5.99 but I'm ordering a red one soon
Mine Orange color is also still in transit from China.
A think this cases still not ready or something else, because my shipped 12 days ado but still no tracking info and it is in China.
