[Q] Which Cases Work With Protectors - Nexus 4 Accessories

My painstakingly applied Skinomi protector (front) was horrendously mangled by my Diztronic case. I'm looking for a case that could work with a replacement. Any recommendations?

If you plan on using cases unfortunately you need to get case fit protectors. Best skins ever just came out with case fit protectors. The back doesn't need any kind of accommodation, and I have a bse skin there too. I feel they are less rubbery than the skinomi. I love the dry protectors from skinomi but for me the feel of the bse wet protectors feels best. XO skins makes a case fit protector as well but if feels rubbery to me like skinomi. They have excellent customer service and make a quality product, I just like the feel of bse better.

I'm using leather case and matte screen protector. I can say that the matte screen protector is the best protector for optimus one. Especially, in terms of sensibility, it's really good.
I have been very happy with my otter case and included screen protector for over a year now. Gives it a little thickness, but is the right mix of hard and soft to protect it

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
"would?"

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

Bumper with OEM screen protectors

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!

Spigen vs MIME glass screen protectors

Is there a difference between the two, besides price? Also I'm new to this glass screen protector stuff, the thicker the glass the better the protection? I'm getting a Trident Aegis case and I'm not sure if the .2mm-ish would fit or if I would have to get the .15mm one.
Mine has better customer service and I really like the anti dust film they provide compared to an alcohol swab from spigen.
I have a spigen glas.tr and fell it was worth the $30. Its smooth and slick which does not effect any sensitivity. Cutouts are perfect and I would recommend to get a aluminum button. Mime got it far $2.50 or spigen got it in a 3 pack for $10

Mime has amazing service. You have any problems with the product, they'll send yu a replacement for free, no questions asked.
In the future, your screen gets scratched up or broken, they'll send you a replacement with 40% off coupon.
This coming from personal experience with their customer service.
Spigen has good products, but customer service can be slow at times..again from personal experience.
In terms of the glass protector, they're similar except a few dimension and style difference. They're both great.
Hope it helps!
I had the Spigen Glas.tR on my HTC One and it was awesome. Planning on ordering Spigens new Glas.t Nano Slim for the GS4 and getting it in time for the weekend. The new Glas.t Nano Slim is .15mm compared to MIME's v2.0 at .32mm.
I like mime and their customer service

Glas t slim is really thin and its easy to install. I really like it.
The most difficult part of the install is finding a dust-free room. This is almost true with every type/brand of screen protection.
Alignment is the key because its so thin as soon as you lay on the glass surface, it almost installs itself. Good luck.
anyone fond of invisible shield extreme?
MIME FTW!!

Loving the spigen nano.

Spigen nano is amazing...installation was a breeze...and the touch is simply excellent. Can't even think to get back to plastic screen protectors now.
I will say after looking at MIME's site they do offer a tempered glass screen protector + aluminum button for the GN2 which is something Spigen doesn't do, based on issues they had early on. I hope Spigen returns to offering one for the GN3 and if not MIME does.
I recently installed a Spigen nano on my S4. Amazing. I can't believe I've been using the plastic screen protectors for so long. I love the fact that I can touch my screen and still have it feel like glass. The installation was also much easier than any non-glass screen protector. I just lined it up and dropped it down and the screen protector did the rest. Perfect fit with no bubbles.
For anyone that wants to see it done see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpsBbld0E2A
It's my video of my installation. The angle could have been better, but it gives you the basic idea.

Best full body skin

I wasn't sure whether to post in accessories or here. I really like the design and appearance of this phone. I was looking at getting the belt clip holster for a naked phone from Encased. But I don't want to leave it completely unprotected so I was thinking of putting a full body skin on it. The only 2 at Amazon that I am familiar with are the Skinomi and the IQ Shield. I was wondering which one would be more recommended. Or is there another brand that would be better. I am currently using Spigen tpu for the screen.
I don't have a full body, but use a honeycomb back skin from Slickwraps and an IQ Shield screen protector.
The screen protector is hardly noticable. Feels good but it's not as good as glass. I just don't want to drop $45 on a Whitestone.
The device feels naked. The only unprotected parts are around the edges. I'm fairly careful and use a Samsung snap on case from time to time, so I'm not concerned about scratches.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the info. I had thought about just getting a front and back glass protector and then using an aluminum bumper but I don't know if it would fit in the holster with the bumper I it.
