Clone army Cruzerlite case REVIEW - Nexus 4 Accessories

Hey guys,
So here is the last of my reviews on the Cruzerlite cases. The Androidified Clone army. I am glad that this company is kinda moving away from the glossy finish and going more into a matte one.
BTW...giveaway coming soon lol

heyy, I have been watching your videos on these cases over and over and over again, and other videos on cruzerlite cases for the nexus 4 and i cant decide on wether to buy the cruzerlite bugdroid cirtuit one or the cruzerlite clone army one....which one would you recomend out of the two? and why? and which one just looks the best? and FINALLY which colour would be the nicest? i was thinking about buying the green one but i dnt really know, so whuch colour would you also recomend?
thanks

Circuit ..no doubt... Why? Style that's all. I like the design better. Color? Smoke cause I can still see the back logo and it doesn't call much attention Atty the office but If I didn't work wearing a suit everyday I would go for the green

Yes it is VERY green and it will make your phone pop up like crazy .
You get a very cool factor and for sure you will be turning heads

Perforated Cases

I don't know about you guys but I ordered a couple of these perforated cases from FocalPrice:
http://www.focalprice.com/MSC91W/PerforatedMeshed_Back_Cover_Case_for_LG_P9902X_White.html
I've ordered a lot from them over the years, and I've gotta say I'm awaiting this case anxiously. I'll post back once I get them. For $1.69/case and free shipping you can't really go wrong.
I don't know... the picture that actually shows it on the phone, look at the bottom, it doesn't even fit on the phone at all.
When you get it, do post pictures and a review though.

Pretty sure they were using a fake phone! But I'll let you know
It was a cardboard cutout. Which I've ordered TPU cases from them and they look like that and fit perfectly.

Will do! I'll review it within a day of receiving it, but as it's shipping from China->Canada, expect a waiting time of maybe 3-4 weeks.

I have a few of these I got off eBay and they work fine. If you want protection, than you may want something better. They are fine for keeping the phone slim feeling with a rubber coating on the case for grip. The coating does ware in time. But overall I swap to it every so often.

Thanks for the heads up!
I am not too scared about damaging my phone as I barely drop it, and when i do it's usually indoors on my floor which isn't too tough.
I'm just tired of the TPU cases for now.
I have one of those it fits real nice its not loose in any way.... only thing is it gets dirty fast. They have black ones on ebay

Thanks! Yeah I read you have to keep it clean. I'm not too worried about that as I take my case off everyday when I get home usually.
If anyone's wondering, I got the White, Black, and Red versions. So I'll post pics when I receive the package. Still hasn't shipped yet Damn slowness.
Curious to hear, thanks for testing.
Just received my cases today. I got black, white, and red. I'll post some pictures later.
What I've got to say about them?
1) They're perfectly sized, they fit the LG G2X like a glove. They're snug but easy to take off/put on.
2) They're just as bendable as my TPU case. I don't really think I could break it. I didn't really like the red, so I tried. Nothing doing.
3) Didn't really notice it getting dirty that fast. And I've been planing doors and redoing my house all day so I'm sure if it did get dirty that fast mine would be filthy by now.
Time will tell.
Cool, keep us updated. Thinking about buying one if they are good to go.

Making a Vinyl "Sticker" for back

Opinions? The Android "guy" will be cut out so you'll see the "pretty" Nexus 4 back shining though. Be cutting one in a carbon fiber too. Hell...I have about 30 colors...may be kinda cool. Thoughts? Cost is very minimal to make them for myself so figure why not the small added protection for the back.
That is awesome.

That looks pretty awesome. I would love one in carbon fiber.

I'm very interested, if it hides the LG logo
I was thinking of covering the back fully..
This is what I done to my galaxy nexus http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599183
That is awesome. I need one in black...

I'd buy one I would attach it to my xtreme guard protector
Worked very well actually. The vinyl I use is high end...so I was able to easily take it off with out any residue being left on he phone. Ive changed it to 4 colors in the last two days just for heck of it.

If you start selling these, I'll definitely buy a couple. With a glass back, something like this would become substantial to a lot people.
I'd buy several colors no doubt about it, very cool.

The one linked that covers the sides is pretty awesome too.
i'm doing this for mine too. I'm using a single hole-punch for the camera cutout. how did you cut out the speaker hole?

I'm using a $4000 dollar vinyl cutting machine to make them. I have a side business doing professional banners, prints...etc etc. So I made my own template based off of a Hi-Res scan I made of the rear of the device. So my "stickers" are a perfect cut every single time.
Carbon Fiber one will go on tonight. I think this will really look nice. I will upload pics when I have them. Never thought about selling them. I could even personalize them...instead of the Android guy I could put your XDA user name, dogs name...wife's? :laugh:
But in all honesty, if you really are wanting these I would have no problem making them for you guys. I'm thinking maybe $4 including USPS shipping. Carbon would be a dollar more (material is really pricey).

That's a little out of my price range for a "DIYer." It looks like a really clean cut.
I'd love to buy one if they can be highly customized. Is there any disturbance on the camera zoom with that small camera cutout?

Buy a custom made back and let me know cost. Remember...didn't post to sell. Just had inquiries. So offered them up. I'm not gouging anyone by any means.

Lg nexus 4 leather bumper

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-NEXUS-4-...070751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7ca1a21f
any clue, anyone know anything about this?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-NEXUS-4-LEATHER-BUMPER-/251199070751?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7ca1a21f
Looks like it's just a skin. I doubt it would actually act as a bumper and protect your phone if dropped though.

This is the same guy who was earlier offering 5000 n4 like bumpers (which he'd be receiving soon) with a single one costing 50$. I guess he finally got it and it turned out not to be aluminum as he thought.
I strongly suspect he got it from china (alibai etc) where they were showing n4 aluminium bumpers for a few bucks for bulk orders, if I remember correctly.

I believe the question should be "How amazing COULD that be?" I've seen shoddy leather work and I've seen amazing leather work.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
Yes I would like to see implemented leather into a case/bumper like those stylish iPhone cases. Well if he does send you photos post them here.

I said this on phandroid hoping to get a reply from Joel, but I'll say it here too. It kinda looks like the backplate is removable. Wouldn't that be cool? A bumper case with backplates that are interchangeable. I'd be all over it. Cruzerlite make great cases and their prices are very reasonable. Can't wait for the preorder on this.

That hasn't stopped me lol....I ordered the xda case as well lol. That'll be my first cruzer case . I never tried them and seen them on other devices and seem good for the cash and a lot of peeps like em. That new "teaser" case looks nice as well, but if the XDA renders on the site are true to form, I'd be happy with that.
Already posted in the big Cruzerlite thread.

TETDED Leather Case for Google Nexus 4 / LG E960 - Dijon III

Hello,
My first (and maybe last ) review.
I wanted a beautiful case for my beautiful nexus 4.
A "leather" one (well you never really know if it's some real leather, but anyway...).
TETDED cases looked very beautiful on some websites so i decided to buy one but had a hard time finding the Dijon III (Venus: Burgundy Red/ Toffee Yellow). I was afraid too it would look like too "girly", you will judge by yourself but i find it's not.
I bought it on aliexpress. I don't know if we are allowed to advert for some seller so i won't but you can find it easily if you type TETDED Premium Leather Case. It costs 38$ . I have ordered the 18th of february and received it today (18th of march, I live in Canada).
My pictures are not as good as the seller's ones but my pictures are real life you know :cyclops:
Pros : looks great, excellent build quality it seems to me (for 38$ it should be !), it clips (you know it's important when you have a flip case, it won't open by itself) i don't know if it's the best English word but i'm sure you will understand.
Cons : ... well... price ? (as always)
Now the pictures
Dude, that thing is beautiful! Thanks for the review.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium HD app
Pretty nice case and good review! Can you direct us on where you got it? Was it directly from TETDED?
Forgive me but the case, while looks nice, looks like a pastry lol. Maybe I'm just hungry for dessert lol.
Well pastry... why not
You can find it on the aliexpress website, you can type TETDED PREMIUM and the store is named RAU DX STORE
To me it reminded me some italian art... dont ask me why i dont even know
I would like to add that this case dont cover all the screens borders so you can touch the beautiful rounded edges of the screen. Yeah i like to touch the sides of the screen
It looks very nice, it reminds me of the vaja case I had on for my old iphone.

How about when you are in phone call? Does the front flip need to be open when you are in phone call? or we can do the phone call with the front flip closed? And how about the phone call sound? thx
