Was checking out eBay cases and found this gem.

I'm not associated with this seller/auction, HOWEVER, I have purchased this exact case (but in all black) from this specific seller and can recommend both. It's a three-piece case with silicone in the middle and a hard (but slightly grippy still) front/back that snap together. I think this is really the most protective case available so far for the Nexus 4. And unlike many other cases that snap, this one makes me feel a bit more confident that the small plastic pieces aren't going to break like they do on so many cheap cases. That said, I've only had this case for a week, so we'll see...
The cutouts are perfect, buttons feel great, and if I were going to drop my phone or knock it off of the table, I'd really be hoping I have this case on it when I do! Ultimately, I got this as my going-to-the-gym case, otherwise I use a Meifeng. But it is a beast of a case - don't get this to be anything but a beast, and a mug o' beer, of course!
If you want to search for the other designs for this case, search for "e960 case tuff" (no quotes) on eBay.
Also, I *am* able to charge my phone on the LG Qi pad with this case on. It must be *perfectly* placed but it charges just fine then. If you take the back hard plastic piece off, then you can move it around much more.
"Oh Yeah! Time for a Beer!"
LOL... Might lose it in a night club or at a bar!
Only if we knew if it fit any of the Seidio holsters active or surface, I'd be all over this like white on rice (don't worry, I'm Asian lol)
That case looks awesome!
Could you post some pictures of how it fits onto the phone?
Interesting.:laugh:
Found this on ebay yesterday, really like the case and am going to buy it! I thought of getting the beer style, but as I will take this case with me on drinking nights, I advised myself not to buy the beer style, because I might be raising my phone instead of my glass occasionally!

It wouldn't take you long to realize your mistake...
Just received the white black version of this case. Its actually pretty nice. It feels good in hand and looks like it would protect the phone pretty well.
The only cons are, it has a weird smell, pretty strong plastic smell and also proximity sensor doesn't work too well, like for it doesn't work for phone calls.
FYI
So back to the Poetic Bumper

Do they offer it in darker colors?

With the beer, no. But in solid colors, yes. As I stated, I own the solid black version.

As per subject really.
I've currently got a gel type case, does the job as it should, but you only realise how much bigger it makes the phone look when you take it off (!)
The only 'slim' case I've seen is the barely there (in my opinion it is clearly there!).
I know the iphone 3Gs has an extremly slim, transparent case, that covers all for edges of the phone. Now that one is a true 'barely there' case!
Anything similar out there for the Deisre?
AFAIK there's nothing slimmer than the "barely there".
I ordered an ebay (way cheaper) version of the Barely There because it looked great and also have a sick design.
A lot a members said it's thin and dope (yes, the case is on... even if you can't really see it, hence the name ).
It even comes with an extra screen protector so you don't have to worry about screen scratches.

Yep, I've seen these on eBay too, I wasn't overly concerned about getting it cheaper but more for the points I described in my original post- i.e something that covers all four edges (with cut outs) and it needs to be transparent.
Please be careful with the cheap ebay ones. Bought one for my girlfriends blackberry, but the dye used to colour the case rubbed off on her hand and face, and eventually permanently stained her phone.
Cheap cases are rarely worth it.

I too was in the same situation as you. Had a gel case but still wanted the phone to be slimmer.
So I bought one of these. The full body one:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-desire-skin
It's very good and can put it in my pocket and not worry and not be bothered about putting it down on hard surfaces too. The only thing is doesn't offer is protection from being dropped.
Phil
Ok, so received all of them yesterday and they're great.
Unlike what wnp_79, there's no problem with them, no dye, really great touch feeling.
I won't pay 15 or 20 euros, from companies who are buying then same stuff from HK and then selling it back 10 times higher.
I paied 6 euros for 2 cases and they're great
Hard slim case + 1x screen protector:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250663722867&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Flexigrip soft case + 1x screen protector:
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270586284031&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
I think it because of the two tone of the Desire (light grey on top and dark grey on the bottom) that makes the 'barely there' cases stand out a bit too much.
I suppose if there was transparent one available, I'd give it a go.
EDIT: Oh this seems promising:

Friend of mine ordered the smaller version of the tunebelt and he's ecstatic over it. He's been through a couple too.
My wife loves her tunebelt, not too expensive on amazon either.

Thanks for reply guys!
I was looking at the same model.
AlgorithmX, because you have it, could you comment on quality and usability. I need this thing mostly for sports. It's kind of difficult to judge on picture. Does touch still works through that plastic? How it holds moisture? And how good is velcro?
I posted in the Vibrant and i9000 forums, but I got the larger version of the Tune Belt. It fits with my phone still inside it's TPU case which is what I was looking for. I think the smaller version would be too tight if you want to keep it in your case.
If you have above average sized biceps, you will need the extension as the band is one of the shorter ones I've seen, but luckily the extension is very cheap and works well.
Here are some pics.

Thanks for good pictures!
No hole for a headphones cord?
And how do I know what is bigger/smaller version? I have only thin silicone on my phone and do not want to take it off every time.

The headphone cord comes out of the flap at the top. I can take a picture later, but it's the same open you slide the phone into, so there's plenty of room.
The model numbers tell you if it's the smaller one or larger one. As you can see in my pics, my phone has a TPU case on it and fits very well inside the armband.
AB82 = Smaller
AB83 = Larger
Finally got my paws on it and used it for a while.
IMHO, this armband is useless for sports. It is like a sponge!
I got bigger version and it fits the phone in the silicon case. However seams inside do not allow plastic to touch the screen, so it's pretty difficult to control phone on the run.

I'm assuming you're talking about the TuneBelt right? If so, it's neoprene. While it may "retain" sweat/moisture, it shouldn't absorb it, neoprene is basically sweat proof. It "retains" some of it temporarily, because the material is breathable (which you definitely want) I have the smaller ab82 that I used with my Touch Pro, and I can tell you from using it at the gym a bunch, if you check it a few hours later, it should be bone dry again as the sweat evaporates out of it, doesn't leave it gross or smelly, etc. Wetsuits are made out of the same material for this sorta reason.
As for the seams on the screen.. ya it looked that way in the pictures above. Still, looks to be the only good solution out currently for phones as big as ours.
Just came across this, BUT unfortunately its "Coming Soon."

PS, its coming in the following colors:
Black, Sapphire Blue, Burgundy, Amethyst
and
you can get it with or without a holster.
Any idea how long its going to take to come to market? Is it more like a few weeks or months. Is was just about to get a skinomi skin for the phone and a leather carrying case 4 work but I will be more interested in this if this and the holster would be available within the next few weeks
No going to make it.
I called and the person on the phone said they won't be making the case. Hope they are wrong.
I had emailed them on thursday or friday and receive a quick reply back stating that it isnt available yet but to keep checking back on the website because it is updated first.
Ok great i figured the guy i talked to really don't know what was going on.
According the the website, they are NOW SHIPPING in BLACK.
And i just contacting them and as the website says, IN STOCK.
I just received my combo case.. It's very nice, the purple(amethyst) is shipping now also...
I just received this case in the mail. Any tips on how to remove this thing?
I had to basically destroy mine to get it off. Its an awesome case if you never want to remove it...

No need to be so dramatic...
It IS basically impossible to remove without tools, but pretty easy with a little help.
I used a razor blade to carefully lift the bottom piece of the shell up so it would release the latch from the top piece (without doing ANY damage to the phone or case). Next time I need to get it off, I think I'm going to try a thin guitar pick, since I won't have to be so carefull with those rounded edges...
I'll let ya'll know how it goes.
EDIT:
I think I like the tight fit on my phone, but for those of you who anticipate having to get at the sim, sd, and battery often - you might think about putting a piece of scotch tape between the two halves of the shell. The case will still hold on pretty well, but you won't have ANY problem getting it apart without tools in a hurry...
Did anyone test this case, it looks nice. Just like spigen cases.

It looks like a spitting image of a Spigen case. It does look nice just wonder how much bulk it adds, I know I sound like a broken record but I do not like cases that add too much bulk.
I have a Spigen case for my Nexus 5, and it is very nice but adds a lot of bulk.

yea i agree with this i had a spigen neohybrid for nexus 5 made it thick. and since its not rounded like the case in the back you lose the functionality of the rounded back where you can tip the phone one way or another for the display when its on its back. but i like it too.

one of the reviews on amazon claimed it did indeed have a flat back, thus rendering the "rock to activate active display" feature unusable

The case is freaking awesome. By far the best case I've ever bought for any phone. I would post pics but damn Tapatalk won't let me.

Update:
The case kept hitting/pressing on the volume rocker and power button which lead to constant bug reports being generated. Sucks cuz it was a great case. It took me a while to figure out wtf was happening lol

I bought one, we will see how she goes. Looks badass though.
I also picked one up on amazon yesterday. Will post some pics once it arrives.
Got the case
I got the case in blue. The price is right for sure. I actually love the case because it makes it angled and square. The buttons on the side feel awesome to click now too. The cons are that after two days of having it in my pocket the outside blue plastic corners are picking up the black from my pockets. That's the only issue really, my headphones and charger fit perfectly on it and it feels snug, there is a slight bend in the rubber at the top but NBD. Also, the plastic outside is mat, not shiny though the pictures would have you believe otherwise. Let me know if anyone else wants detail or pics.
how thick does it make the phone?
anyone try the BRILA cases also?
I am getting my replacement today... I will post some pix
eh, mine comes tomorrow lol impatient
size
About 1.5cm, still fits in my pocket, all good. Gonna pick up a darker colour one today because the blue edges are turning dark.

This company is legit. I got a replaced back for the color because it got messed up. They were super cool about it.
"I went ahead and included the Shadow Blue case for you, thinking that this color might wear the best. We hope that our effort to assist you shows that we care about you and if you can send us a quick note when you receive the package, that will be much appreciated. Thank you very much, Matt, and please have a wonderful evening!"
These guys have my respect.
Heres my latest creation with a thift store find (I don't know what the black thing was made for but it was almost the same size as the phone and it was $.78), a needle and thread, and a laptop bag strap to make the holster. I'm going to stetch one more piece at bottom on both sides.

Nice ... looks professional and very usable. Better then the one they sell on amazon. Nice job. Next step mass production for all the other X2 owners
That's my dream. Phablet holsters. Only one out and it is not stylish.

Looks nicely done! I will usually carry mine in a waist pouch but that's obviously only viable during the weekends. Fortunately the X2 still fits in my pant's back pocket (when I'm walking) and the front pocket (when I needed to sit down).

I bought one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q7MFAKU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00
Its a bit of a tight fit when you first get it, but it really only needs an extra millimeter or two of width to make it perfect. I took mine to my local shoe repair guy who stretched it for me, and now it's perfect! It's a great case too. The fact that it can swivel and come off the belt clip has turned out to be really important since the phone is so big.

Well, It's pretty tight, but it loosens up with use, and you could probably get a tpu on in it if you stretch it a bit more.

I'll give it a shot. I like having backups for everything in my arsenal for the phone just incase something breaks. I bought a lcd screen and keeping it on the shelf in the event I break it. $56.00 dollars for it on aliexpress, you can't go wrong for the phone for that price. I'd rather fix it myself, then send it back to china and wait 2-3 months or get it back at all.
