Cases for protection against drops? - Nexus 4 Accessories

Are there any cases available to buy that will protect the phone against drops?
Some of the people have dropped the phone accidently and already have crack screen on both sides?
I want to purchase something that will protect against drop?

I think that's the point of a case...

Cute.
It's a great question, as I don't see (m)any cases that protect against drops on the market right now.

it's pretty obvious there are not, we are all trying to get otterbox and uag to make one for us which would hopefully help with drops. but a easy search for any case at the moment, would result in no good cases available.

Just came across this on amazon. No feedback on the nexus 4 version as it hasn't been out yet, but I figure for $15 shipped, it looks like the best of any available cases.
Oh, I can't post links yet. Here's a bit.ly link: amzn.to/XvWCO3

That case won't ship until after christmas. I would get something temp until then. Also, ballistic has confirmed a case. Check their website

^What he said. Besides Ballistic no company has confirmed a heavy duty case for us yet. But everyone should definitely vote here so we can get another good case our way:

In the description, for most cases it says 'protects against dust and scratches'
My focus is 'protection against drops'
amzn.to/XvWCO3 - will this provide protection against drops?
Just wanna comfirm it ;p

Says in stock Dec. 9th., and according to amazon, Delivery Estimate: Thursday December 13, 2012 - Monday December 17, 2012 by 8:00pm. I went ahead and got one anyway, and again for the price it is essentially a temporary case.
On a related note, I just heard back from otterbox:
Unfortunately, we do not have plans to develop a case for that device at this time. I would recommend keeping an eye on our website, otterbox. com, and Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information for every new release.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

I'll reply here when it comes and let you know! (Though I probably won't do much actual drop testing on such a snazzy new phone)

TPU cases do NOT work perfectly fine for drops UNLESS those drops are very minor. If you drop a phone with TPU case from waist up, chances are things might not look so good once you pick your phone back up.

Seidio has confirmed some cases for the Nexus 4.
http://www.seidioonline.com/seidio-LG-Nexus-4-s/8621.htm
I think the Active series is a more drop friendly case. Probably get one of these or the Ballistic.

My TPU case let my Nexus4 survive a 4 foot drop, no damage... Not willing to test it above that though lol

4' drop onto? My TPU case wouldn't save the N4 from a 4' drop onto anything but carpet or grass probably.

Doubtful as it doesn't cover the back at all. Of course that all depends on how it falls. The bumper is more for looks to show off the back cover
And bought.
Lets see if these go on backorder as well.
I also ordered one. That Nexus 4 stock alert app actually worked! Looks like it is shipping soon as it says delivered in 3 to 5 days.

Only $5.95 right now because it doesn't ship until 12/30. For that price I bought another case to hold me over until I get it. So I have a TPU KaysCase and Bumper for less than the Google play bumper would cost.
Pure luck on my part - I just checked it 10 minutes ago, couldn't believe it said in stock - ordered immediately. I like that the bumper apparently is fantastic quality, and still shows the beauty of the nexus 4.
Yeah I bought one and immediately had buyers remorse.. I submitted a cancel request, I rather wait and see how the 6$ bumper from amazon looks on the actual phone. 27$ is just so much money for half a case lol
Thanks! I got one! And to think I almost went to ebay to get one

I'd say the bumper would protect from side/corner impact better than a plain TPU due to the harder outer ring dispersing pressure over the soft core. Falls off the back/front variety would be about equal assuming a flat surface. A thicker TPU case could easily sway all categories in its favor. Obviously the bumper wouldn't protect a rock to the back at all and neither would work on a rock to the front.
Could get here Friday

Yeah, expensive, but It will get here before the 2 other cases I ordered from Amazon.
i woulda got this immediately if it was in stock 2 weeks ago or so. now i have a rearth slim on the way and will probably get the diztronic tpu. can get both for the price of the lg bumper.
jest order 2 units tnx
Just got one, awesome. Actually considered buying it on eBay for $70~.
I just really hope my headphones fit this; otherwise, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
Just got one as well, got the Rearth slim but this bumper looks amazing and the slim barely protects the phone
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Awesome, I just bought mine. I swear this phone is coated with teflon or something. It literally SLIDES of any table I put it down on. I thought I was crazy at first when my phone kept falling off the middle of my living room table, my nightstand, and even when I went to get a haircut. I decided to check it out and determined that if the surface you are resting the phone on has even the slightest bit of grade (not kidding, even .0001%) the phone will gradually slip towards the edge and fall. This bumper better be grippy or I will be annoyed...

Otterbox Commuter Wallet
Can I have this case? Would go well with the Ultra Hybrid on my 5s.
My Ultra Hybrid just arrived from Amazon. I went for the clear version. Phone arrives Friday, but initial thoughts are good. Has a slight "tacky" feel ti it which should eliminate any slips from the hand. Will give more thoughts on Friday once i try the phone in it.

Thanks for the review! Great job.
I was going to get one of these as it's available on Prime on Amazon (I have Prime) but the cut out for the camera and flash is too big and offers little to no protection from what I can see. In the end I went for one of these:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Film-Better...UTF8&qid=1396965708&sr=8-8&keywords=galaxy+s5
But I usually end up with 2-3 cases so that is just the first.
Very tempted to buy one of these.
I have a question for you... I have the same case and I have noticed that when I place the device on any flat service the device will almost rock back and forth if I try using the device while it's laying on the flat service. I can only imagine that this is happening because the legs on the case are not flat. Can you please let me know if you have a similar issue with your case?
Thank you!

Go for it. Great fit. Not too much added bulk. Feels "grippy" in the hand. Only thing is, if you have short nails, its awkward if not impossible to open the charging cover with the case on.
Nice case
I just bought a Spigen for my S5. Looking forward to it.
After having the case for 2-3 days I just noticed I purchased the Gun Metal instead of the black I initially wanted.. FAIL

Nov 30 availability. ;-(
I've been rocking the Ringke Fusion on my N4 for about 2.5 years now. Great case. Although I'm now hoping they release a version for the 6p with a solid black bumper + clear/smoke back. I don't like the clear bumper style they also carry, just looks a bit tacky to me.

I always found the N4 one to be ridiculously fat. The polycarbonate layer adds like 3mm easily to an N4 which wasn't that thin in its generation.

Yeah it does, but stylistically I prefer it; exposure in the back, protection on the sides. Its simply the clear sides that i dont like. We'll see. Might just go for one of the Adopted cases for now. Ringke cases are cheap enough that i wont mind switching later. Hopefully they will be thinner than the old N4 one though :S.
I've used them on the N6, note 4, and xperia Z3, and they have all been beautifully thin. some of the thinnest cases I have ever used. and they have even survived drops on cement floors in places like walmart and lowe's lol. i never tried the one on the nexus 4 so i can't compare.
of course I am talking ONLY the Ringke fusion. I have never tried any of their other style of cases but i hear they aren't as good.
Bleh they just emailed me telling me they won't meet their Oct 30th ship date. Looks like Nov 30th is the real date now. The thing that bugs me about this is that they decided to mark it as shipped so they get the money then they emailed me. I guess I will have to get a cheap TPU case or something in the meantime while I wait.

Their amazon page sure leaves alot to be desired. All they do is post a picture of the phone, not a single picture of the case they are selling. I won't buy a case without least seeing it first.

Hope so! The fusion was my favorite N6 case. Tested over 10 cases before settling on it too.
I get the feeling that so many manufacturers used leaked images to base their designs on, and next thing you know... SURPRISE! Laser rangefinder. Back to the drawing board.
I asked them if they are canceling all cases for the 6p and it seems they are

It's back on Amazon with 11/30 as the ship date
So I emailed them asking if they were going to sell the case still or what. They told me they are trying to resolve issues with their manufacturer. In response to that I asked if it was worth putting in an order and this is what they said:
"Honestly, I would wait to avoid complications. We know that we are keeping the original in stock day of November 30th so far. So I would say place your order closer to the beginning of November. I hope that this information helped."

Bummper *only* case

Does anyone know of a bumper only case? Meaning it's just an edge around the phone but nothing on the back?
Rhinoshield makes one and it's great. But, it won't be available for a little while. Not sure when but they have an email sign-up at their website.

I don't know if I trust them with their estimate.
I got the bumper for my nexus 6P and pixel 2xl and it was my favorite.
I wanted it for my 3xl, which I ordered on announcement day last year, but by the time it was available I had bought a slew of other cases and didn't feel like spending any more. Especially since I only had plans on keeping the phone for a year.
I once again ordered the 4xl on announcement day and I'm trying to be patient but I've already ordered 3 other cases so they need to get with it and finish the bumper case already. A discount code would be nice too as it's not the cheapest case in the world.
Just checked their website again, looks like their bumper cases are now available for pre order with shipping around the end of November (so long goes the "early november" time frame they told me)

Totally agree with you here. Their website is now open for pre orders for the 4 XL but doesn't ship till the end of November, which is far too late for most people since other people would already have gone with some other case at this point.
I got a clear case temporarily hoping the bumper one will come out within the next week or so but looks like that won't happen at all :/
Just pre-ordered mine. Said Nov 29 estimated ship date.
+1 to everyone that recommended. Had it for my pixel 3xl and it's the best. Only negative the white won't stay white forever.
FYI. Case shipped today!

I'm a big fan of these but as I've stated previously, I've already purchased (and gotten free) some other cases and I just don't need another.
And I'm never spending $40 so I have to pay the $5 shipping, which is annoying for a $25 item.
TIA

For something other than Rhinoshield, check out XXXXX. It's a case with a transparent back. I am assuming you didn't want a full case in order to preserve the looks of the phone. In that case, this could be a good alternative.
It has protection on the edges so that the phone can take a few drops easily. Plus its cheaper than Rhinoshield.

Thanks for the rec.
I was sent the Schnail case that some got for free and that's my "protection against all circumstances" case. It's surprisingly great!
I just ordered the Rhinoshield bumper case and should have it by Wednesday and that was my favorite on a few of my recent google phones.
I'm using my google fabric case since Saturday and I like it too.
I also have the ESR Mimic, which might be my favorite. The combo of slimness, tempered glass back and grippy tpu bumper is really nice.
I know, at the very least, the bumper will yellow eventually but it is a very nice case.
I also got a deal on the Totallee slim frosted clear and it's pretty cool too. Absolutely the slimmest case ever.
I obviously have a sickness that's shared by many on these forums. Please pray for me. Lol.

I used the Rinke on my Pixel 3XL and never had any issues. Dropped a few times, no damage.
I've tried a few cases with this Pixel 4XL but I'm back to the Rinke!
Also have the ESR mimic on order.
I got my rhinoshield case today and it's of course what you would expect. Fits perfectly and if minimal as can be. The buttons are crisp and very very easy to identify which I truly appreciate.
In short if you like a minimal bumper case that shows off your phone without taking anything away from it, look no further.
Anyone heard anything on the Ringke Onyx? Had this on my 2XL and 3XL, but they don't make it (yet) for the 4XL. The Fusion looks like too much for me and possibly a lint trap. I reached out to Ringke, but it's the weekend so won't likely hear anything back until next week. May have to start with the Spigen Rugged Armor.
I bought the UAG Plasma, its a little heavier than the Rinke but fits great and looks like it would be plenty of protection from a fall.
The crashguard has a lot more texture than last year

I absolutely agree!
So glad I ordered one. I had it for my nexus 6P and my pixel 2xl and loved it. Skipped it on my 3xl as I had too many cases and now I have it for my 4xl and the fit, look and protection is top notch. Highly recommend.
I have bought too many cases again so I try and spread them out and use them all.
I like the esr mimic. It feels and looks great with the tempered glass back.
The Totallee frosted clear case is scary thin, but feels great in your hand. Only protection is from scratches if laid on it's back.
The Schnail case I got for free and it's actually quite good. Incredible protection but I don't have much use for it.
I also got the google fabric case, which I also had for the 2xl and 3xl. It's not as good for the 4xl. The feel of the fabric is better but the fit is not as good. It's not as snug as the past 2. A little disappointing actually.
I wish they would hurry up and release it into the Amazon store. The one for the smaller 4 is there but not for the XL.

I ordered the Blindbox in Germany so I got delivered the sandstone and sandstone case additionally. They are quite hard and not really flimsy. However it's true, camera protection is barely there and I don't think those cases will protect from a drop really good. Also, I want to rock a transparent case with this beautiful blue color. The included one looks and feels really good but is way to soft at the sides, this is even lesser protection than the others cases.
Currently I am using the sandstone case as it gives me way better grip than the carbon one.
I have ordered this case. Let's see how it handles once it gets here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085DTHLSZ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_hsUMEb0JFJSHQ

I drop my phones about once per year so I need a case to protect my phones but a simple bumper case is not enough with these curved displays and depending on how the phone lands, screen might shatter even with a good bumper.case. The cover cases also prevent damage from typical day to day usage.
I have seen some really good implementation of always on displays with smart cover cases, especially from Samsung.
I cannot recommend the case I linked, I don't have it yet and I do not expect much from the case, it just happens to be one for sale now, I think beat cases typically don't get released this early. If anyone sees a good cover case, please post here, also if you see always on screen mods for the phone.
I've ordered it! It looks good but won't ship until next month!
i hope otterbox makes a pop socket symmetry case for this
I've ordered 1 of these for the missus.
I will wait for Spigen or Ringke cases etc

You probably wont get it for a long while unless you paid through the roof for DHL or UPS!
Im gonna have to take extra care and not drop it until I can get a cheap case from amazon while I wait for Spigen or Rhinoshield.

Had a popsocket for half a year. I liked it. I was reading web books. I did not trust it staying put . . . so . . . . I dabbed a tiny, tiny little bit of super glue at the edges.

Nice grippy side is 'critical' for me.
