i also have this case...and not to come down on you Hogowner, cause im just trying to help the original poster out...but it is an awesome case and it is very easy to put in and pull out of holster. Well worth the money.

have the same case..its pretty good except I would prefer it to protect top and bottom completely and also lip over edge

Yeah I love this holder. Bought 2 just in case it ever breaks and they stop carrying it.

I own this case as well and it has been great so far. Not super thick and the kickstand, while not a marvel of engineering, works well enough. I do not use the holster, just the case.

I searched for all cases with a kickstand and this was really the only one I found and I love it. Protects the phone well.
Gremlins are watching you...

I wish there was a replacement battery cover with built in kickstand. Since my iphone 3gs I've been a naked cell user.

Same here, and it'd allow for docking on desk and car docks as well.

I also have the kickstand case and its a nice case. Amazon has them around 11 bucks i think too. They are 30 at Verizon for the case and holder.

Like the case, hate the clip so I popped it off. Used it for about a month and had no issues but I did worry about the lack of protection on the top and bottom. I now have a TPU case from cruiserlite and am quite happy with it. I will be switching back and forth with that and the kickstand.
Just as long as it's not the verizon silicone case you'll be fine.

Same here, until the kickstand broke off during a fall. Case still works well though....considering my harsh use that led to the breakage in the first place

I saw in another thread something about LG replacing digitizers for $75. I haven't looked into it but if that's the case it might be worth the extra $20 to let them do it.

Not to salt a wound, but how does one do that to Gorilla glass?

Next time your mad. Throw a cheaper phone.

been there
I just broke mine recently too, I ordered a white replacement digitizer on ebay, originally thought I would receive the whole assembly as most are advertised with the housing that has volume /power buttons, I got just the screen still easy fix though it required some tough gloves and a screwdriver to break all the old digitizer out and some impact proof superglue to put old one in though it worked, and now i have a black and white g2x its quite nice here's a link to a video on how to replace it.
I would recommend for ease of replacement to get a black one with the housing (volume and power buttons) attached. much much easier to replace.

dude, that's seriously sick. is your battery door still that weird brown color? i found one white digitizer on ebay for $78. is that what you paid?

I sent mine to LG (well, Stellar Wireless) after I dropped it, and they swapped it out for me for $40. Unfortunately, the one they sent me had non0functioning 4G and GPS, so I had to send it back in and I'm waiting for my replacement to be returned to me.

I ordered the digitizer from eBay. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace

So i wanna see what happen to you if the phone looks like that. Dang man thats bad about the phone but its fix able. Unless you want to sell the phone to me for $50 ill take her off your hands

My new digitizer should be here in a couple days, seems a whole lot easier to repair than my last phone, so I will update on how it goes. My biggest thought is about getting dust or anything between the LCD and digitizer. :/

looks like a nasty fall did you have a screen protector on it or even a case? or were you rocking the naked look? just curious

Naked of course lol I don't think anything would've protected it tbh

*Black Speck Case Mod* Fix For Scratched Case!

Bought a black speck case off of amazon after seeing one in the TMO store. Loved the feel and weight of the case. Got the case and slipped it on my phone. Didn't even make it a day without looking like it had been hit with a cheese grinder.
So i tried to think of a way to get rid of the scratches. Car scratch remover was a fail and i got so pissed i threw it in my father in laws sand blaster. To my surprise it turned out great. removed the black paint and used armor all wipes and spray then let it dry in the sun.

It developed a few scratches after a month. I put it in the sandblaster and retreated with armor all.
The scratches were very lite compared to scratches I had before I modded it.

I might as well wait for the official bumper to be on sale again until the end of the month since the Poetic one won't ship till then.

Actually, I think the Poetic one has more appeal thanks to price, not availibility If I wanted to spend $20 to protect my phone, Id rather get a full case. $5 to offer small protection while still showing off the beautiful back is two thumbs up and a customer
(Keep in mind I also bought xtremeguard screen protector+skin so I am fully protected)

To each his own, I agree the Google one looks better (that metal-like design is very nice), but the Poetic one still has some flare

I ordered one but will ordered the official when it becomes official. $6 is negligible.

I'm really surprised no one had had a bumper case out yet since there are a ton of cases. I think I'll try it for 5 bucks.

I was going to order one just to see, but then I noticed the in-stock date. Ehh, maybe I'll wait to see if Google's offering comes back in stock before then.

I'll be purchasing both.

Search for the BEST LOOKING Nexus4 case!

Im on a search for the best looking Nexus 4 cases of all time! I figured a thread could be used for these. This is much more about fashion than it is durability.
Here are my top 3 cases:
1. Nexus 4 Kommandant from CaseFanatic ($30-$40) http://goo.gl/1ZvKW

}
This case is solid aluminum. It just looks sexy. Although, I have heard of signal loss issues.
2. Ringke Fusion from Rearth ($25) http://goo.gl/Rj1gV
This one has a clear back, which is nice to show off our phones. not to thick, doesn't cover the screen at all.
3. Official Bumper from Google ($20) http://goo.gl/rFcz5
What can I say? This is just purely minimal!
Post what cases you think look best! Please try and keep it about look over functionality.
When sharing please include:
- Name/Seller
- Images
- Price
- Purchase link (If you have an account that can post links)
- Why is this case good looking to you?
EDIT: Updated with purchase links!

Kommandant looks great but after all I've read about the negatives (mainly signal loss) I decided to give it a miss. Just waiting on my Ringke Fusion case to arrive.

I used to have the Ringke slim case, but now I've got a Poetic bumper. I can't remember the exact price but it was less than $15. My phone has taken a couple of heart stopping falls, but so far so good! I'd post pics but my phone is my camera. I'll try tomorrow if I can find something.

I have to admit, I LOVE mine without a case too. Currently I've been using the Fusion, but the charger I've been using doesn't quite fit with the Fusion case, so at night, I take the case off to charge. And every time I have the case off, I say to myself... "Damn! That's a fine looking phone!" When I had my Galaxy Nexus, towards the last 3 months or so I ended up going case-less, I may eventually go that route with the N4 as well
