My leather case from German company Fitbag arrived. It's beautifully made, from nappa leather with a microfibre lining, and was apparently tailor made to fit the phone. I can't recommend it though. While it's not as tight as it was, you not only need to dedicate both hands to the task of getting it out, you need to slide a thumbnail in the mic slot to get enough purchase.
I can see myself using this when travelling but the closeness of the fit and the lack of slashes at the opening to get a grip means I'd be quite likely to flip the slippery thing on to the pavement when trying to answer a call in a hurry.
My fault entirely for ordering badly. The pouch was clearly photographed on the company's website and will suit other buyers.

I ordered a Fitbag bag style case as well (Link to amazon). Mine is made of Alcantara and of superb quality. You do need both hands to pull the phone out, but since I moved from a Nexus One with its included Neoprene sock I wanted something similar for the Nexus 4.
I ordered the FitBAG for Samsung G3 for my Nexus from Amazon.de - As I thought it would be slightly larger so it would take the Nexus 4 with Bumper fitted - It does not.
I was after a excellent quality cover which would fit the phone with bumper attached...
Is it similar mofi pouch or similar material

That's a flashback... LOL Wish they would have put one in the N4 box!
First, the case's full name is Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Case for LG Google Nexus 4.
Link on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4I2GJU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
FOr me, the seller shipped from IN, I dont know if they have any other branch. IAmazon said it would be delivered on Thursday, but I have received it on Wednesday.
I am not good at English, so I will use a lot of images to review this case.:laugh: I also take picture the case with the Nexus 4 adapter, so you can compare the demensions.
The case fit perfectly to the phone.
The case has two layers which are seperated. One is soft and one is hard.
I have a back, front and body wet-protector, and this case haven't peel my protector yet. Hopefully it won't. However, with a soft cover, I dont think it will peel any corner off.
THe back of the hard part is smooth. Hence slippery or not, I think it depends on each person. For me, it's not slippery. But the fact is it's smooth, so it can fall off your hand if you're not careful.
Buttons can be used very easily.
I dont have a Wifi charger in case someone ask me for this.
Last thing, any grammar error?
EDIT and WARNING: Because this case has a ruber layer (it has two layers: the soft ruber one and the hard one), it collects dust very easy, especially when you put it in your jeans' pocket. This is no problem to me, with a fiber or tape, I can easily remove them.
I also confirm again, this case doesn't peel the corner of your screen protector off.
However, with the Ballistic one, it will peel your corner off very easily because the top and bottm of the ballistic aren't fixed. I have borrowed the Ballistic one from a friend and used it for two days, at the end of each day, I had to apply my screen protector again. If you need some images on the Ballistic one, tell me, I will do some for you.
Test.
Image part 3.
Looks like a good alternative to otter box. Thanks for sharing.

I also got this case in white, i absolutely love it except for the fact that it's white, and gets dirty if not taken care of. Other then that, it's awesome. I don't use it now, because i have lens for my phone camera, but when I did use it, i wasn't afraid of dropping it.
@opticaldh. What kind of screen protector are you using?

Nice job on the review. I also have this case for my N4 and it is a great case for $15 as the reviews will show on Amazon.
I do have a wirless charger (lg-wpc 700) and it charges fine with this case on.

Just like Galaxy S III, multiple color options are available now for Nexus 4 too.
Also, found 2 YouTube unboxing/reviews for those interested.
Could anyone compare it to the ballistic case ?
This one looks thinner but still looks strong enough to keep protecting the phone from an average drop . :laugh:

I'm still waiting for the Superleggera to arrive (7-10 days). As soon as I get it I'll update what I find, compared to Ballistic Shell Gel SG.
I tried the Ballistic one from a buddy of mine but I personally did not like it. The build quality is very good with the ballistic and it feels like it's going to protect the phone well. But from day to day usability it's not very practical.
The inside silicone piece of the Ballistic is very soft/loose. It fits the phone well but without the support of the hard shell it tends to come off. That is why some people complain that the top and bottom of this case is not very fitting, since there is no hard shell support there.
The soft silicone with the protruding corners of the case sometimes gets stuck taking in/out of pant pockets.
In the YouTube reviews and the pictures by OP by the look of the Superleggera, the silicone seems stiffer than the Ballistic and the hard shell supports all four sides, hence more form fitting than the Ballistic and should not have any pocket issue.
nice review, looks nicer than the two later one i bough a few months back.

Acase's are really good I have 1 on both my S3's and love them. I bought a Diztronic for my N4 as these were not available yet. Will be ordering 1 tomorrow.
Can anyone with this case (Acase Superleggera Nexus 4) comment on whether the case lip interferes with edge swiping (e.g. useful to switch tabs in Chrome). Thanks!

How slippery is this case? I'm assuming the hard case (outer cover) is, but not the inside tpu bit. Is that true? So can I remove the hard case and expose the tpu while setting it on an uneven surface?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a leather wallet style case for a S4? Please share your experience with us.
I have the Tuff-Luv wallet case. I had this type with my S3 mini and got one for my wife's 4S.
Room for 3 credit cards and an opening for a few notes. Good quality leather. The holes are in the right places and the camera is not obscured.
TBH the crease on the back which acts as a stand spoils the look somewhat.
At £45 the price is way too high, however, Tuff-Luv place them on eBay.co.uk regularly.
I picked up each of the 3 I have purchased for £20 delivered, which is reasonable.

It looks very high quality. How functional is it to talk on your phone with the case on it? I agree about the crease. Thanks for the input.

Not a problem, I just fold it back on itself and hold it in one hand.
You can go for the Spigen Slim Wallet. That is the one I have. It can hold about 2 cards, but the leather is very nice and not cheap. The case is not only a wallet, but also a stand were you can comfortably watch videos on. http://www.spigen.com/brands/samsung/galaxy/galaxy-s4/galaxy-s4-case-slim-wallet.html Link is here. They also have a Leather Wallet Case Snap. This can hold multiple cards and cash.
I have the Incipio Watson style (http://www.incipio.com/back-to-scho...s instructed scratched my screen. do not buy.
No recommendations for a leather wallet style case but s-line has some serious cases
Just saw this pop up on Amazon so I ordered a smoked grey one.
I loved ringke cases on all my nexus phones. Very good quality. I have the Samsung flip cover case, generic hard plastic case from eBay, and the Incipio dualshine pro case. I prefer the wallet case right now. The hard plastic case from eBay fits great and keeps the phone super slow and sleek but provides almost no protection.
The Incipio is a tad bulky since it's dual layer protection.
I'll let u all know how the ringke is.
Here's the link.

I went through two already the bottom left corner of both of them were warped. It fit and felt good everywhere except the bottom left ...good luck with yours.
My bottom left is warped also.. other than that case is good

Mine's expected to arrive on the 1st. Never used this company before but seems pretty slim so shouldn't add too much bulk. I don't drop my phones...seriously! My concern is scratching while sliding on a hard surface.
Do you have a picture of what it looks like and also what the warp

This Ringke case is nowhere near as good as the similar model cryatal case I have for my note 4, as you can see it only has a 3.5 star rating on Amazon. It has a feel of a $3.99 case. But right now there are only a few cases to chose from, so what can we do.
Really like the ringke
Here it is with full screen protector on
Decent case
I received my case on Saturday and I am pleasantly suprised with it. I needed a case because the UAG case I ordered has been put on back-order. I received the smoke edition and it gives my phone (black) a sleek unique look. I've read a few people had warped cases but mine was fine and provided a good snug fit. Case doesn't add bulk to phone and fits my hand well. Keep in mind it is a gel case so it wont protect the phone from a lot of drops but is an excellent case for me until my UAG case comes in. In addition it was only $12 and free 2 day shipping.
Here are some pics of the case you requested.

I don't know about anyone else but the top of my phone doesn't fit securely into the lip of the cover. I can literally run my thumb across the top of the case to separate it from the phone. That's means big trouble if I dropped the phone. If you get this case you still have to be wary of damage if dropped because no way it'll will stay in this case so this should be temporary until you can get a better case ASAP. Really a shame because Rearth cases are normally pretty good.
Just got mine. Very impressed. Great case. Fits tight. Highly recommended.

Love the concept and look. Got mine last week, power button doesnt line up, spen cant be pulled out inless you pull up on the case directly on top of the spen, ir blaster doesnt line up, barely holding the entire top lip. This thing is worth 2 bucks if that.
One good thing i wrote them an email and they said that i received a fluke and they sent me a new one today for free claiming it will fit better. We shall see and i hope so cause i really like it especially how nice and slim it is.

sounds like you got the same "flukey" case I got, but I didn't even bother contacting them I just chunked it in a draw and put the incipio case back on until I can find something thinner that'll actually fit to use. Maybe I'll give them a chance to redeem themselves with a replacement case.
I had a ringke case for my Note 4 and the first one was warped on one side. Clearly an issue they have. Replacement was excellent.
Quick update . Have had this case for a week now and I have no desire to order anything else except the flip wallet. Nice and tight and feels good in the hand. $13 is a good deal for this.

just received the Ringke Flex S from amazon and couldn't be happier. my son literally dropped my phone 3 secs after I put it on and it survived fine.
I can't seem to find anyone with this case. No reviews or actually picture of the case besides the advertisement images on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spige...d=1472076672&sr=8-3&keywords=note+7+kickstand
I have the VRS one but I find the bumper too thick so it makes it harder to handle the phone. Feels like I'm on my note 4 again. Trying to see if the Spigen is the same. Also I can't tell if the Spigens kickstand is just taped on the back or if it's actually sitting in a cutout hole on the back of the case.
I ordered one of the spigen kickstand cases but I haven't received it yet, they've been backordered according to there site, mine shipped today, so I'll check how they attached them, and reply with those results when I get my case.
I just got mine today. I think it's pretty thin. As for the kickstand, it's definitely glued on to the hard back and not dropped into a cut out. The stand is fairly flat, about as thick as 1.5 quarters. I don't feel it when holding the phone because my hand is a little bit cupped. The top and bottom of the case is raised a little so the screen doesnt touch the surfacce when laid face down. So far I like the case. For 11.99 shipped, i think its a great deal.
Thank you. That's what i was afraid of. The VRS kick stand is in a cutout so the stand is very low profile. But the bumper is thick. Probably a good 3mm all the way around. That is why im looking at the spigen one.
Here are some pictures of how the case looks like when it's on the phone. I also put a quarter side by side with the kickstand to show the thickness of it and a picture of how it looks when the phone is lying on its back.
Thanks for the pictures! Here is the VRS one.

I ended up getting the Ultra hybrid case without the kickstand and adding the kickstand myself. On amazon, you are able to add the kickstand for free if you purchase the spigen case. It made it nice since I had the option where to place the kickstand. The case was 9.99 when i bought it w/prime shipping. The raised bump from the kickstand doesn't cause any issues with me and is actually nice to have when holding the phone I have found.
How do you add it to a 3rd parry case. Does not stick on? Is it removable / moveable?

You can at it to a third party case or even the phone directly if you buy it separately on amazon or directly from spigen. It is not movable once mounted though so make sure you know where you want it before sticking it on.

Sorry its on my phone with a wet apply screen protector and I'm not moving it, its not pushing up my case atm. But if you hit up spigens site or amazon.ca you can see it ... the kickstand is the thickest part.

Got the spigen and separate kickstand but I did not like the spigen case as the sides tapered into a point at the center. See attached image. So this makes it a bit weird to hold since it isn't flat or rounded off.
So I ended up buying the ringke fusion. Much better case. And I have cut a hole in it for the spigen kickstand. Having the kickstand at the center is much better. I can tap on the top left or right corners and does not tip over. Unlike the VRS with the kickstand on the bottom. My mod is more flushed so it doesn't interfere with the fast wireless charger.
Here's a close up of the ringke. No sharp edge.
Here is my mod which I need to redo as my dremmel slipped and scratched the case.
