Nexus 4 Diztronic Case Review
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Black TPU
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Smoke TPU
Diztronic Website
Design
5/5
The back of the case has a nice glossy tough black cover. The bottom of the case has a good looking shiny Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. The edges are made of a gelly type of material that makes the case easy to go in, but tougher to take out. This is a plus in my book because it makes the phone seem like it melts into the case. The edges of the case go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". This could be an issue if you use a screen protector, but don't quote me on it. The buttons can be pressed very easily and they aren't stiff at all. The buttons are the most easy to press out of any case I have ever used.
Protection
5/5
This case protects all aspects of the phone while still keeping a thin and light profile. The "lip" on the front of the case will definitely help to reduce the impact on the phone if dropped face first.
Final Verdict
5/5
This is probably the best case I've used so far for the Nexus 4. At $12.99 you get a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case gives you maximum protection, looks, and feel while keeping your beloved Nexus 4 protected.
Good Video man....I ordered my case on the 5th so hopefully it will come in tomorrow...and it looks very good...Im using the clear tpu you had in the video now..but once again good video as it should help others who are thinking about buying the case and since watching the vid i know im gonna be very happy when mine arrives.
good review. I just received mine yesterday, and was extremely surprised on the quality of it for being 13 bucks.
I HATE using cases on my phone due to being a minimalist and enjoying the slim design, but this one just fits perfectly! I enjoy the added gloss coating around the lip that goes on the screen..it creates a nice blending effect with the screen.
I've read a few people mention that the power/volume buttons are a little stiff to press, but honestly, they must be weak af, or they got a defective case. The buttons are extremely responsive with the least amount of pressure.
Forgot to mention that the back of the cases doesn't attract ANY fingerprints. That's a big deal for me because I hate cleaning off the back of fingerprint covered cases.
How's the screen protector? Any cons?
Ordered mine couple days ago. Should be getting it tomorrow

Can you test it out with USB cables which use a thicker connector? I hate having to carry the OEM USB cable with me everywhere since that's the only one that fits with my case. I like have USB cables everywhere I go.

Thanks for the review, I was looking as this case for the last two days and I have heard nothing but great things. Just placed my order :laugh:
Quick question, which screen protector (and/or Full Body) kit would you recommend with this case?
Thanks
As of right now, I haven't used any screen protectors. I have used Skinomi on other products and they're great.

I checked the video and you showed all the sides except the bottom where the usb port is. If you post a pic of it, he might be able to judge whether case opening is large enough or not.
Good review though. Still waiting for my n4, but I'm ordering this case so the phone won't be naked after it is unboxed.
Case is well worth it. Just got mine today. Watch the screen protector putting it on though.

For those looking for cases, these are pics of my just received "i-Blason Clear Hard Snap-on Case for Google Nexus 4 Smart Phone (Crystal Clear)". Snaps on just fine, doesn't protect the top or bottom of the phone, but protects the back and sides just fine. I love knowing it's more protected than naked, but still able to show off the phone in all its glory and shiny back! Yeah, the plastic scratches easily, but how cares. It was just $10, so I might order more just for spares.
I got the case from here: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-SoftGel-Flexible-Frost-Clear/dp/B009Y0ZH6Y

Just noticed this case myself on Amazon, which cued me in that the Chinese are finally cranking these long awaited crystal clear cases en masse. Just ordered mine from here for $4: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251200525677?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
$10 is a rip for these cheaply made crystal clear cases that scratch if you so much as look at it sidewise. I am surprised that i-Blason didn't plaster their logo all over the back like they did with their TPU cases, at least there's that.

Every crystal case I've owned in the past for various devices....over time, stuff builds up between the case and the phone. It'll scratch either depending on the content of the "stuff".
Just make sure you clean it regularly.
Good thing i have a full body skin coming in the mail already.
Dang, that looks so much better than the clear S-wave TPU case, it's not even funny.

That's the correct link, but they have modified their listing. When I purchased mine, there was no "Pink". "Clear" was where "Pink" was. There is a link in this thread to an eBay listing that has the clear case much cheaper ($4).
I got the same case 2 weeks ago- so far, so good! First crystal clear case that I like
My clear case is now scratched up, but who gives a **** because I would rather it get messed up than my beautiful N4. I'll just order a cheap replacement down the road.
Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)
Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.
And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?
Thanks
the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.

Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.
Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?
Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.

Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.
Ringke All the Way!!!
I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.
Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.
Edit:
I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.

I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from [email protected] but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.
Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.

I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.
This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.
I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.
I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.

Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.
Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.
Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I noticed that Incipio is now selling the feather 'Ultra Thin Snap-On Case' for the Nexus 4: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...s-4-cases/lg-google-nexus-4-feather-case.html
I think they are too late to the game, if you ask me. There are too many case manufacturers offering the same hard shell snap on cases, and they all look the same. The only possible benefit of the feather case is that comes in more vibrant colours. However, at a price of $24.99, I can't see why someone would purchase this over the $9.99 Ringke Slim...
I also found a video review in case any of you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gThV8Ie6Rc
I went with the poetic slim case from amazon. It was cheaper than the Ringke Slim and has a little coverage on the top and bottom (unlike the Ringke and the Incipio).
$25 is too much imo

Incipio feather case is the best slim case for N4 IMO. You can buy it cheaper on amazon.com.
For way cheaper you can get a better looking case from Poetic. Poetic Palette. http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00ANGOICC
IMO nothing special about the Incipio Feather.

I do and works great for me.
When I first got my phone, the first case I checked out was the Incipio feather. Saw it online and said to myself, "like hey that one looks good". I wanted to see it in person first so I found it at a Fido store. I tried it on my phone but didn't like it. The sides didn't come up all the way on the phone if I remember correctly. Some slim cases have a bit of a lip on side of the phones incase you want to rest it front face down and I found the top and bottom too open. Then again all slim cases generally look the same anyways. Ended up get the Rearth Ringke fusion but I found that kinda bulky a bit. I got the first batch when it came out and those had problems with the buttons being to hard to press. Using the OEM LG bumper now.

OEM LG Bumper does crack on the USB port.. happened to me without ever dropping the phone / case.
For the Rearth case, simply use a knife and do the cut outs. Mines is the first version and the buttons feel great. Google on the cut outs. It was posted on reddit and its somewhere on XDA (probably main Fusion thread)

It probably will, just be careful. Google will at most.... refund you but it can be a painful process
Found it.... http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/18xcwt/simple_mod_to_make_the_ringke_fusions_buttons/
I was wondering which case is better than the other?
I'm looking to keep the nexus 4 slim, sexy, and functional.
I narrowed it down to these two cases because of the clicky tactile feels (on the fusion revision) and the original bumper while maintaining slimness.
I got the bumper a week after I received my phone. Well, not the official one, but a replica of the LG one that's sold in the Play Store. The one I received off Amazon seemed fine, but after about a week of normal use, 2 cracks appeared - one on the bottom where the USB is, and the other on the power button.
I think that they appeared because of plugging in the phone and clicking the power button turning it on and off. The material (metal-looking plastic) that surrounds the bumper is flimsy on it's own, and with a certain amount of pressure and heat from the phone, it's prone to cracking.
If you Google around you'll find that a lot of people have had the same problem with the official one. I bought the same bumper for my friend too, but his is holding up well so far, so I'm not sure. The bumper seemed to have a tighter fit on his N4 whereas mine felt a little loose. He has been using it for a couple months as his was the first wave of N4 that were shipped out. I just got mine a little less than a month ago.
Switched over to the Ringke Fusion based on the number of excellent reviews it got both on XDA and Amazon. Took about a week to get here and because it is the revision, the buttons are clicky and give a good feedback. The case also doesn't add much bulk at all. While I do like the heft of carrying around the phone naked, the glass panels scare me. I never used cases on my old phones, but then again, they were plastic and metal. They sure could take a hit!
The Fusion makes the N4 feel more solid as it is, and it works well with wireless chargers. The only complaint I have about it is the back clear plastic tends to dirty quite easily, with scuffs, fingerprints. But then again, who takes time out of their day to gander at the back of the phone. Sure it's pretty but you'll be spending more of your time messing around with the front.

I remember when i bought my N4, I kept buying different bumpers because either they were too tight [messed up my screen protector], too bulky or did not protect my phone good enough. In January, I bought Ringke Fusion; been using it since then . Its not one of those cheap bumpers, you will definitely feel the quality. Its fits the phone very well and you wont feel the size of it in your hand or in your pocket.

It's a replica. The real ones are sold on the play store. If it says official elsewhere and is less than the price you would normally pay, chances are it's not official. Anyone can say it's official but it isn't.

I got ringke fusion, official bumper, the white look alike of fusion and poetic. I wanna use my fusion but my tempered glass doesn't fit well with it. I'll rather go with the fusion because of its solid feeling but the bumper is good.

I got the Ringke Fusion. IT shows fingerprints REALLY bad - much worse than the back glass - and the fingerprints aren't easy to clean off unless you use water. I ended up taking it off and using the bumper I got free before finding another case.

Fingerprints to me don't show as bad when I put my dbrand skin on. I hardly notice any unless I view the back at an angle.

We talking about regular prints..? Cuz my hands are always clean, and while it definitely attract prints, a quick swipe from my t-shirt takes them right off.

So the Google bumper on amazon is fake and the fusion case attracts a butt load of finger prints
I see that most people tell me that they are using bumper instead... What bumper? Poetic?

LOL I would personally get the Fusion, and yes, most bumpers online are replicas even if they are in LG packaging. The normal bumpers cost about 20bux (USD) so that's a good gauge in authentic or not.
There's a thread somewhere comparing the packaging but basically, if there's a holo sticker on the back, mine is square that reads "Original accessories by LG".

Bumper
Wider
Looks better
Less protection
Ringke
Better protection
Lets you create custom designs to insert behind the plastic
horrible protruding creases on the back of the case. - rough to the touch
picks up fingerprints and dust way too easily.
I use bumper for everyday use and if i'm going to be somewhere outside for a long while where i won't have a place to put my phone safely away i use the ringke.

Does the Ringke Fusion case fit properly with a dbrand skin on? Was looking on getting the case but was not sure if it would fit on, as I have a dbrand carbon skin on the back.

Yes it fits fine. I have a custom and that's technically two skins of thickness in my areas and fits fine.
