I've seen a lot of cases that are " clear" , but I'm looking for one that's transparent, not frosted or smoked or anything along those lines. Also not a case that's only half clear... I want to show off the awesome back on this phone.

There are none. It's been said because the clear always discolor over time. Discolor meaning "yellow". That's why the frost or smoked versions. The closest thing you have is the Poetic Atmosphere coming out the end of this month.
But my recommendation is to get a screen cover for the back and front and get a bumper. I did it and was quite happy with it, however, after installing the OEM bumper, the phone didn't fit in any of my generic cases and I am real hesitant in just putting it in my pocket.
Even if you were to find one that is completely clear, you won't be able to see the glistening on the back. I have a case that's completely clear on half of it and you can't see the dots.

I ordered one, for 6 bucks and free shipping it was worth it for me when I only use a case a handful of times a year. I actually canceled my 30 dollar nexus 4 bumper order after seeing this cheap one. It doesn't need to be pretty for me, just functional the few time I'll put it on.

the screen guard at the back would already make it lessen some glitter.. so better decide your self whether you want to save ur phone or show it off... get a bumper with a military shield i would suggest if u want to show it off

Don't buy the crystal clear case.
1. Its plastic, very, very cheap feeling
2. It doesn't protect the bottom and top
3. It scratches WAY to easy, I touched it with my nail and it scratched it

So I received my Nexus 4 Bumper today. I was using the Ringke Slim case which was a defective because of the warping of the side near the volume button. Also today I received the replacement for the slim case so I decided to make a faceplate to add onto the bumper. The back is nice with its patterned dots but for now I am going for protection until there are better screen protectors out there.
Decided to cut the defective case to be a faceplate for the back of my phone. Still experimenting how much to cut the side but this is what I have. Some problems so far is that it gives it an extra thickness to what Google originally had for the bumper. So when holding the phone on the edge it has this popping feel. If I cut more of the side of the case this might eliminate the problem. You still get the lipped edge around the screen. Buttons still work but I didn't get the nice satisfying click. But I will work with the sides of the faceplate again
Thought I would share this even though it might seem useless a bit

Well I was experimenting with it too much and cut the case where it doesn't fit as nicely compared to before. You need some kind of edge around so it doesn't simply fall out of the bumper. Just experiment as you go and place the faceplate then your phone in
Interesting.... and looks very nice to the very least haha. I would totally buy this if it was a case
sounds like a plan
Great skins for a great price.
Seems like it might look nice with the LG bumper. Might have to give it a try.

Carbon one looks cool. Anyone tried yet?
A few people on reddit bought it and they said it has been great so far in terms of fitment. One had the carbon one and the other I believe had titanium or leather.
Really liking the look of the titanium one, might order one later this week. If anyone beats me to it, please post pictures!
Covering the back? NO-GO!

Im leaning towards titanium silver and black leather. I just wish it were legit leather

That's exactly why I bought one..tired of having to find a rough cloth to put the phone on so it doesn't slide all over the place. Purchased a carbon fiber one, hoping I get it next week.

I love it! lol, nexus doesn't slide every where now and it makes the phone look pretty awesome, can't speak for the leather looking ones but the carbon fiber one looks amazing. I'll take pics with my friends phone later.
I definitely recommend this if you don't mind covering up the glass back, I prefer it this way TBH, the effect is cool, but not cool engh I'd keep this sort of protection off.
Just received my titanium skin, it looks fantastic. Haven't applied it yet (I'm at work; haven't even taken it out of its vinyl pouch), but here's a quick picture so you can get an idea of the texture. I scratched at it a bit, it feels a lot harder than you'd expect.
Finally applied it, took maybe five minutes. The fit is perfect and it feels very nice. Photos don't really do it justice.
That's looks nice.can't wait to get my carbon fiber one.how long did it take for shipping?
wow looks very nice!

I'm only a four-hour drive away, so not counting the weekend, it took a couple of days. Probably going to order a couple more now that I know what I'm dealing with (ridiculous precision, easy application, amazing results).
Hi all,
Has anyone used these...

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.
I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.
I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.
I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?
Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.

Hello!
I will get my One Mini in like 2 - 5 days. Of course I want to protect it.
Im kinda always outside and not at home, so there's like always a possibility to drop the phone.
My dad owns the bigger sibling (M7) and he told me this device is really slippy, even though it's pretty handy. I never dropped any of my phones outside and broke the display or anything.. Well I dropped my iPod Touch one time.. but that was an apple device.. I got over it
Now, are there any good cases out yet ?
Im currently using a flipcase on my Desire HD. Brand: I-Carer.
So I preffer cases like the one I have. Dad ordered THIS one.
Im searching for something simular. But I haven't found anything yet..
Anything out yet, or am I asking too early...
Mini protection....
Hi,
I'd suggest a case-mate "barely there" silicon sleeve, and get a Zagg screen protector (coming soon for the mini - check the site!)
As the phone's name suggests, it's mini, so why bulk it up with silly flip cases!
I own that one:
http://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00E8Y...flip case&qid=1376506583&ref_=sr_1_59&sr=8-59
Im honestly not that satisfied..
So imma order a new one soon..
I cant find a picture of the case you wrote down, can you post or pm a link ?
Think I'll prefer silicon soft cases..
I always had them, wanted to try something new but the flipcase makes a fast accept difficult, and not very handy..
I can post a full review to that case If needed.

Could always get the HTC double dip case and a casemate screen protector. I find it works really well
I've just put on a skinomi screen protector. Bought from amazon, same as Zagg, just slightly cheaper. Reply back once its fully stuck and useable and give an opinion on it.

Simular to zagg ?
Can you send me a link ? Im on my phone, bad internet connection over here..cant find it on google..

Bought it, applied it following the direction, threw it away 20 seconds after. Complete waste of money. Hopefully Spiegen will come out the glass one for mini, by far the best screen protector I have ever had.

I have to dissagree. It went on better than the zagg i done for my lads Desire C, and is crystal clear when on. Yes, some ppl don't like the feel of these types of protectors, but as for protection i think its worth it. And for only £7, its worth every penny.
I tried to post a link but have a restricted account atm, sorry.

No problem mate, I already searched it up when I had better connection
Gonna try out soon, as I've been satisfied with the zagg case :thumbup:

I have the shop-leather case without the clasp. The leather is nice, like a very good wallet, but not super fine. Really what I was looking for as far as leather.
On the other hand, I really don't like the TPU phone holder attached to it. I couldn't easily get my phone in and out (a requirement for me). When I can, I'll probably try to replace it (glued) with a Ringke SLIM I have.
I won't use the lanyard, so the holes are useless for me, but not much negative. For now, I'm just using the phone without a cover, but carried in a pouch.
I would love a case like this one for the iPhone 6. http://www.mujjo.com/the-sleeves-collection/leather-wallet-case-for-iphone-6-black
