TPU silicone VS ultra thin hard plastic - Nexus 4 Accessories

So what you guys think is better.
Tpu just too think and stupid ?
Ultra thin too fragile, doesnt protect the handset really.

With plastic body I think hard case is OK.
But n4 has glass body so tpu is better.

[Q] Any good TPU Cases w/ Soft-Touch Coating?

I'm currently using the High Gloss Smoke TPU Cover for HTC Sensation 4G:
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=48_25
But the glossy finish gets very disgusting with finger grease and oils.
Can you please help me out?
I'm looking for a TPU case with soft-touch coating or maybe some silicone grooves on the outside. I just need a TPU case with texture.
I used to use a pure silicone case, but it stretched out and the lint it attracts was annoying as hell! I also have the option to use a hard shell case with soft-touch coating, but the inside of that case is known to scratch up the back of the HTC Sensation, and that's a big No-No in my books!
I would be very grateful for any help you can provide. Thanks guys!

The incipio cases aren't exactly soft touch, but they are matte and not at all glossy. Very fingerprint resistant.

It won't show finger oils like my other TPU case?
I know the Incipio case is made of NGP, which is just Incipio's own branded TPU material.
I have this two:

And I'm really satisfied, nice touching and nice protection, and in my opinion, the two are pretty beautiful.

That second case is very cool. I'm looking for something almost exactly like that: A TPU case with rubberized grip.
I live in the US though, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea for me to order something from London.
I have these 2 along with a Seidio Active Case and I ended up using the one that looks like the back cover of the phone the most. Both are TPU and were $2-4 on ebay. Both are soft with the shiny parts work to help in gripping the phone. Both are very tight fits and don't get oily or greasy and don't attract lint. I will probably get rid of the Seidio Active and one of the TPU cases.

That's a very neat case. It looks like it has the Insipio NGP finish with that gloss band in between. Very nice case.
You really don't get finger oils on that high gloss section? My case now is all high-gloss and gets super oily
Yes I do get some on the shiny parts of the case. If you want a case without that section check out the Incipio Case.

Do you know of other TPU cases that have soft-touch coating or rubberized grips on them? I'm trying to get a few options before I decide

I just bought the same case in the first picture but the clear version with white

Did your come with a screen protector? If it did is it good?

the case-mate anti-fingerprint screen protector is legit. Probably one of the best and isn't grippy.

It fits like a glove, Especially the side which fit snug against the phone and don't lift up like silicone cases. No screen protector was included, I use a Zagg screen protector.

Spigen glass slim T or TR

I have a massive question guys. I would like to buy one of these tempered glass protectors from spigen. The TR has round edges but is 0.4mm thick and the T has sharp edges but is 0.23mm. Has anyone had any experience with these and what are your thoughts?
Which one should I buy. Also the TR is 5 pounds more.
Thoughts?

If you are going to use your device naked definitely go with the TR. If you're going to have case on it the T should do just fine. I opted for the Glas.tr myself. I have my phone in a case at work and naked at home. You won't be disappointed with either.

Is it because of the sharp edges that if I have no case it will be annoying? What is your experience with the TR? Is it thick?
Thanks
I owned the slim t version it's not sharp imo the perfect screen protector. It's only a tad thicker than the plastic screen protectors.

I have heard of chipping issues with the T on other devices when not used with a case. Personally I think that the TR looks better with the rounded edges as well, but again with a case you wouldnt notice a difference but for thickness.
I dont find the TR too thick at all. Air view still works flawlessly with it and it just feels amazing. Is it worth the extra money? To me it was, but for my specific use. YMMV.
I will say I reapplied it about 10 times before I got it perfect and it held up great. Like I said previously, you will not be disappointed in either of them.

This is one of the reasons why I decided to go with another company from my tempered glass... although I do not have a lot of experience with this type of protection I do know that I want a thin glass that provides protection... I think the sharp edges will leave part of your screen on protected unlike the rounded edges
If I was you and these were my two options I would definitely go with rounded edges
I've also heard that this company does not have the best of customer service

Cases

I am looking for a case similar to the Otterbox Defender with a built in screen protector and full body enclosing for a phone.This phone is made of glass as the body and I want to protect it well. If there are any cases that protect the back really well, I am open for discussion. I just need recommendations.
Get a BSE skin protector bumper optimized and a MYBAT tuff hybrid case from eBay, been using both for months now

There are currently no cases with built-in screen protectors on the market. I use the Ballistic Shell Gel case and I have to say, it works amazingly. No scratching and it keeps my screen from touching anything on a solid surface because of the beefed-up corners.

How You Protect Your Nexus 4?

Im one of those people who don't like spending hundreds of pound for well designed slimline tech then make it unslimline by
adding a bulky case, ill prefer letting it get few scratches and enjoying.
When i brought the phone i bought the ballistic case £30 but its just to big and ugly very protective but no nice to look at or feel
what im using is a dbrand carbon fibre skin to protect the back and it looks awsome feels good too, and black pouch that ill use
when going out

I have a bootleg replica bumper case. Dropped my phone a few times and everything is still good. I do use it repeatedly without any protection. I am looking to purchasing a tempered glass protection but I can't find anything descent that's affordable and mimics the actual screen.
Bumper with screen protecter is enough

cheap leather bro, plus it doesnt fit it snug could fit a 6 inch phone in them there not made to measure
Mine fits, it is a little snug but it should stretch out after a while, plus the curves fits the N4 perfectly, can't complain for the price
Ringke Slim case, with spigen ultra crystal front/back screen protectors. I have a pouch i carry it in sometimes when i'm out and about.
always naked and lo and behold it's still doing fine after 6 months and several drops. on the front I have 4 minor scratches and 3 of them are not in the screen area. the other is so miniscule it's invisible if you aren't looking for it.

I've got the official bumper, couple of s line cases, the nillkin hard case and the meifeng rubber feel hard case. All of them serve their purpose. Meifeng and nillkin are my daily drivers. Official bumper makes the phone too wide in my opinion.. good luck!

Slim case

Which is thinner? Incipio feather or Ringke slim?
I want a super slim case.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
The Ringke. Beware when you drop it, the edges and perhaps screen will get chipped or scratched. Very little protection
