I just spent 3 days at an annual client conference with our Google support team. Every year the Google reps bring cool swag for us to give away. This year they had these branded phone/tablet stands. As you'd probably guess they went like hot cakes but I made sure to snag a couple before the crowds had their pick. The design is extremely simple but works perfectly. One of the Google reps and myself spent some of our down time trying to see how much weight these things could handle. We were surprised to see how well it held up with 10lb objects.
It works perfectly with every phone we tried as well as the Nexus 7 and an iPad. I never thought I'd use a desktop stand but this works so well that I'll definitely use it at the office.
Anyway, here are some pics...

Oh, and for the record, even the Google reps were jealous that I got my hands on a Nexus 4. So feel special because this go around even the Google employees didn't get one. :highfive:
Cool. A drag that it's not available to everyone.
They were actually surprised when I told them that people would probably pay for these. I told them they should throw them up on the Google Play Store but they didn't think there would be any real demand.
That's nice me like
I totally want one of these!

Wow that is really awesome. I've been looking for a nice desk stand and that looks perfect.

Tons of companies were giving out this at CES. Obviously with a different brand name on it. There's a couple different ones, this style white/blue with the triangle style folding, also there's a more simple gray/black one that the stand rotates 360 onto itself so it's flat, I got that one.
I'm sure you can find these dang cheap on eBay.

Not to pooh pooh the excitement but these stands are pretty standard giveaways in the promotional swag world. I've got one myself but not "branded" with Google on it.

Good find!
After using this one I'de definitely pay for one of those ebay ones. It's very simple and works great.
Found this website, looks like plenty other options and pretty cheap.

It's funny you should mention that. I was at a party a couple of weeks ago and this guy there was telling me he works at Google doing some Android stuff, so I pull out my phone. Then we head a super geek moment, talking Android and the Nexus 4, and he was saying how pretty much nobody at Google that he knows has the Nexus 4 and he has only seen his supervisor with one.

Alternative Solution
I had a mytouch 4g a little back and I purchased the windshield mount for it as well. Now I have the g2x and the same car dock works as well. Point being, and especially since the mytouch 4g is almost the same phone, try that out. The dock comes with a mount for the dash as well...
Is there a link? Are you referring to the official branded one?

I'm planning to get one from these guys as soon as they make one for the slide. I've had mounts from them for 2 other phones, and they were both awsome.

I don't like those clips protruding from the front of the phone.
Sorry guys, I should've taken a pic. Usually the store I went to gets products later than other stores so I assumed it was out everywhere. I'll stop back by on Monday if nobody has found one by then.
Went to 2 T-Mobile stores...nothing.
And still nothing coming up online except for cheap universal garbage.
Here you go. It looks like a pretty solid product. Just not sure if I want to spend $60 on it right now. Probably will eventually, lol.

Hmm...$60 is STEEP
But I'll probably buy it.
The hardware looks solid. It has the camera hole so you could potentially take pics/video through the dock.
It looks like the same kind of thing released for the Evo.
Anyone find an online link?
I picked one up today at my local T Mobile store as well. The price is definitely steep but at least it comes with the charger and cable. My only reservation is that it does not have the option to go both vertical as well as horizontal. I know it is stupid but sometimes I do like the option. Overall it does have a solid feel except for the plastic that holds the phone in place. That piece came off a little to easy in my opinion.

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

Got myself a $10 Flip Case for Nexus 4, worth for money
I got two, one black and another white, the white one comes with a magnetic lock to keep hold of opening flip.
I found them much better as compared to bumpers, its light weight and gives much protection.
Although I wished for something like Samsung Note case, where one can replace the back panel and the panel has flip with it. None the less as of now this is doing good job for me

Looks a lot like a Nillkin case
Sent from my Nexus 7
Few questions about this.
1. How ridgid is the cover, like is it capable of supporting the phone to stand up 1.1) vertically 1.2) horizontally. That is if the actual case doesn't just slide on a smooth-ish surface. Like the samsung official case for s3/note2 are capable of such things quite easily.
2. (Might be too early to tell) How is the case after some wear and tear as I have a nilkin case (fresh series) and the quality isn't great, typical for chinese brands to be honest. The boundary starts to flake and come away and that's after 3ish weeks.
3. How does the overall feel of it feel like. Care to direct us to some reviews or even create one yourself on youtube?
Correct me if I'm wrong... But don't magnets on a case **** up the GPS and/or radio of a cell phone?

Yeah, emergencies can't arrive out of nowhere or anything. Nobody knows what the OP is even doing, or if he intentionally left you guys hanging or not. Maybe his computer blew up? House fire? Work? I know if any of those happened, checking a thread I made about a cheap case wouldn't even cross my mind...
Give the person some time, or.. go track it down yourself. You have a picture of the case, and a price. Get to searching

Err...perhaps it's you that should be doing the searching. In case you missed it, I already pointed out that he has been active on the XDA forum as recent as today (posting and not just observing for that matter) so I think we safely rule out a blown up computer or a house fire. The OP's absence definitely feels intentional.
Look, I'm not saying that he's obligated to respond to our queries but it's only common courtesy to help out. If you don't appreciate that, then perhaps you don't understand the meaning of community.
And FYI, some kind and helpful users here have pointed to possible cases but note the bold word here, possible. We will never if this is the exact same model as the OP's which makes a difference in someone's purchasing decision (certainly mine).
These things look pretty sweet. I imagine the same story as Otterbox as far as the N4 goes, I'm afraid.

Exactly! Why won't any big contenders make any cases for the N4? It's not like it won't be profitable. What really gets me annoyed is how many companies such as Otterbox already are selling S4 cases even when it just came out. Aren't we as important?

Sadly, no.
Look at the GS4. Not even a month after release and already going to hit 10 million sold vs. Nexus 4 nowhere close after 6 months. For profit companies have an easy decision to make.

It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.
Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.
Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+
Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case
