Have to disgree the speck case is nice and added protection, can't beat it

I'd have to disagree with the speck case. I bought one when I first got my phone. It protects from scratches. But the case iitself had scratches on it from day one. Small cracks in it by the power button and the charger. Thing falls apart so easily. Also it makes the phone feel huge in my hand. Almost tempted to use my g2x naked

I second the Body Glove, it's an awesome case with great protection.

I'm curious, you guys say you purchased them directly from t-mobile? Does anyone have a link?
Yesterday I found this case at wal-mart (of all places) and it actually looked good, so i picked it up and love it. It's a body glove, but for some reason i dont see it on their website and it doesnt look like any of the cases ive seen at the t-mo store...
I wonder if it's different than the ones you guys have

I definitely second the Body Glove case. I'm not sure why more people dont use it. I've used nothing but Body Glove cases for all my phones since the G1 and I've had the: G1, HTC HD2, HTC HD7, G2X
I've had nothing but good results with the Body Glove cases. They can be found on Ebay for as cheap as $12-$14 also.

I had great success with the body glove for the HTC Touch Pro 2. An awesome product.

The one I found in wal-mart is like half tpu and half rubber. It's only one piece altogether, but a small portion around the top edge is rubber so that the power and volume buttons are easily pushable (they feel fantastic! you feel it as if it were a real button) and then the lower parts of the case are tpu (i think).
On that back side there are some diagonal stripes but they're not so visible because it's black on black, but they come off the case just a little so it gives it a nice grip. On the inside of the case where your slip your phone in it is also rubbery, so it grips on the phone very well.
Besides this purchase I was using a standard tpu case from tpu-cases.com and a tpu fusion case from ebay. Neither of these cases did it for me, i was disappointed because the same tpu cases i had for mytouch 4g were a much better fit.
Anyway, this case is perfect for me, I love it! I can take pictures of it if you guys want, since i cant seem to find it online anywhere.

It pops off every time I've dropped it. But I like everything about it otherwise. The belt clip acts as portrait and landscape stand plus it acts as an anchor you can hug with your 2 middle fingers when holding it in landscape.

Yup thats it!
Sorry about that guys, I completely forgot about this thread and forgot to post pictures >.> But yeah, thats the case I have. My box doesnt say "grasp" or anything, so i dunno about the exact name.
This is a GREAT case though. I'd highly recommend it to those of you that are used to TPU cases. Check if they have them at your local walmart and give it a try

I second the Walmart body glove, nice case

went to two of my local walmarts, neither of them carry ANY case all besides iphone cases.

I believe they are taking them out of the walmarts the specific case, mine did....your walmarts should have other cases, I would expect you would have asked so maybe not.
I was able to do a site to store, I am not sure if that option is still working though http://www.walmart.com/ip/Body-Glove-TPU-Case-for-T-Mobile-G2X/16617184
I may like the standard T-Mobile sleeve more though, and those are going for 6-8 on ebay. I think the stock sleeve has a bit more protection for drops. If you don't mind a slightly large lip

Diztronic tpu review!

So my flat black tpu case by Diztronic came today and let me tell you it is hands down better than anything out there and I could not be more pleased. I am comparing this to the Rearth slim case I was using and before that I also had the Ebay S line case for a couple days and while that case is also tpu, it is truly ghetto compared to this Diztronic. The fit is perfect and while buttons are covered there is still little effort needed to push them unlike many tpu cases. The feel of the case on the phone is also on the premium side and the matte black back does not attract fingerprints either. The other great feature about this case is the slightly raised lip going around the screen which is just right for anyone wanting to play music/put their phone face down. All of this is had with virtually no added bulk either. I highly recommend this case and know you will be happy with it.

It definitely looks better than the "S" TPU case, but does it offer more protection in your opinion.
It seems from your pics the lips on the front are higher than the ones on the "S"?

How good is the fit? would you say it's tight? Does the case come off easily?

Looks good, might still purchase this, although it looks exactly the same as the I-Blason case I have on my N4 already.

Hows the call quality? People complained about the official N4 bumper ruining the microphone quality so I'm wondering if it happens with this too.
I have one of these on order myself.

Would you say the Diztronic is significantly better than the Ringke Rearth Slim case? I've got the Ringke case and it doesn't fit as tight as it could around the volume rocker, too much play for my liking. Also my girlfriend hates how the four corners stick up a little from the screen (to protect the screen if its face down) she says they poke her in the ear on phone calls... Wish I had bought two of the Diztronic cases now

+1
I don't have a case at all and I have to position the phone in a certain position on my face for anyone to hear me as it is. If a case or bumper further negates from the call quality I am going to have to pass. Even though I already ordered this and it should be here soon.

1. The call quality is not affected I already had two calls with the case on and it sounds great.
2. The lip is raised a bit more than the S case but not overly done, it will not bother you at all
3. This case feels very good on the phone, it is easy to get off it your actually trying to take it off other that that there is no annoying flex from the tpu or anything like the cheap ones (S case)
4. This is much better that the rearth slim because having this on gives me the feeling of better protecting just by how it feels in the hand and protects the entire bezel which a slim case does not do.
I may order the Diztronic shell case when that come out next week too
I think the stock bumper is stupid anyways

Haven't tried any other case for the nexus 4.but this diztronic case is easily the highest quality tpu I've ever used... Feels great. Love it.

it's definitely not the same as the i-blason case. I have two i-blason and the diztronic. the diztronic is sooo much better. i used to use their case on my gnex. very good quality.

Got my case yesterday. It fits nicely, has a good feel and looks pretty good too. Doesn't really add much bulk. The seams on 2 corners on the other hand seem a bit shoddy and looks like it might peel away over time. Curious to know if anyone else's case is like that too. Will contact Diztronic and see what they say.

I'm debating whether I should purchase this case in black or the smoke color
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Just received mine as well, and YES THIS IS THE BEST CASE OUT THERE FOR THE N4 IMO
in every aspect, design, feel, protection this case is definitely the best, glad I bought this case.

Just got one. Great looking case and real nice feel. My XtremeGuard screen protector peels a bit on the corners. Any suggestions on screen protectors that wouldn't have this issue?

I would get the black one, I also thought about the smoke color since it allows you to see the nexus logo on the back which is pretty attractive. But the Distronic logo kinda overlayed the LG logo and that's a no-no for me. But since Distronic has a no-hassle free return policy, you can always return it if you're not satisfied with your purchase.

Mercury Slim Fit TPU / Best Nexus 4 Case

First let me say I think this is the best overall case for the nexus 4 hands down and I ordered pretty much every other case off amazon. We would all love to use the nexus naked or with a bumper but we also know how fragile this phone is you probably break it or fear breaking it the whole time.
I say this case is the best for these reasons design, cost, and protection. First design, the main thing that stands out about this case it has hard edges when on case feels slick and firm. The whole case has a sparkle effect pretty cool. I absolutely love the white but the black is very nice also my gf loves it. The only flaw in design is probably the power and volume buttons are cut out and case does have a little thickness so can be hard to push buttons sometimes. This case does add to size but keeps nexus 4 shape exactly.
Cost was 5.21 plus 2 dollar shipping so that for me already puts it as number 1 since all others cost more. To me if you had to pick one case this would be it.
Protection to me cannot get any better than this. I don't know how but the case in your hand feels soft and bends like every other case but when on feels solid. Hard to put into words but I trust this case.
Now the only other cases that came close where the distronic (which is a little slimmer and buttons are not cut out. Also back is matte). I blazon was good to very similar to distronic minus the matte back. The mercury is just a tad thicker than these but you really don't feel it.
The other cases like the rearth to me is just a cheap piece of plastic not worth 10 bucks. There is a distronic hard shell that was pretty nice its like the rearth but done right. This would be my second choice if you really want ultra slim. Does not protect whole phone but good enough.
Here are some pics I took today this case is awesome. Comes in a ton of colors.

Sweet the mercury pearl case is my all time fave on each phone I've owned that they make one for. I'm in for one. Does it push up on the screen protector and make it bubble?

Question, is the case a solid colour? or does it have sparkles/glitter like previous mercury tpu cases?
thanks

This one is not to thick but thicker than others on amazon just bit. But also this is the only one that keeps nexus 4 shape so it feels good in hand. Black is shiny not super though I suggest white as it has a gloss on it and does not get dirty. I'm two weeks on white still looks brand new and its been all over.
I'm not gonna lie I don't like the black but my gf does which good because I would not give her the white. All of them have a sparkle effect black shows it more.

There was some discrepancy between the shipping price on amazon vs the price stated on the Mercury storefront shipping information page. I emailed them about that and they quoted shipping for me in Ottawa at $7.35. They said they would refund me the $2.13 difference in shipping after the fact. :good: I know it's not too much, but it's good to know they're an honest customer-oriented company.

Would anyone with this case mind taking a picture of the micro-usb port area with the case on?
I have a bunch of 6 ft micro usb cables that I like to use because of the length. However, these cables have a lot of excess plastic around the connector so I'm just wondering if they'll be compatible or not.

If I'm the kind of guy who drops his phone like, once a week, should I guess this. Trying to searh for the best option since I just ordered a nexus 4.
I currently have a samsung S2X with a Trident Aegis case that I really liek for protection and such.
Also, still not sure if I will put a screen protector. Is the Nexus 4 screen tough anough not to? Not a fan of the "rubery" feeling they give but its better than a scratched screen.

Got mine. Here's my opinion. It makes the n4 more fatty. I'm not a fan of the strange edges, preferred the smoother more rounded edges on my s3 and iphone4 versions. It's very front lippy, it pushes my skinomi skin and causes it to wrinkle/ bubble/ peel.
Good protection. Excellent quality and material. Cut out perfect. Nice hold/ grip. Great colors.
Took it off and put my nillkin back on.

Did I receive the same case? The Mercury tpu case I got for my Nexus4 looks nice, does add a little bit more bulk than the Diztronic, but one giant problem. It is slippery as hell. The gloss on it is not a sticky gloss, but more of a smooth slippy gloss. It won't stick to any surfaces, and IMO actually makes the phone a little more slippery to hold than when it's bare, since the entire case is made of this stuff. The only time it will be grippy is if your hands are slightly moist or hot enough to leave a steamy fingerprint lol. Not only that, the cutouts make the buttons very hard to press (due to the thickness of the case and shallow-ness of the buttons). The power button is actually kind of ok if you use your fingertip, but it's very hard to press the volume button.

Diztronic tpu owns that crap, u mad bro

[Review]Acase dual layer Case

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.

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?

Your English is not bad at all!

Incipio Dualpro Midnight Blue case review

Just got my Incipio dualpro midnight blue case from NewEgg ($15).
Thought I would upload a few pics for anyone interested and give my two cents.
I chose this case because of the two layers = better protection. The outer layer is smooth, and the areas that aren't covered by the hard outer plastic are smooth as well, thus it'll go in and out of pockets reasonably well.
The inner plastic is harder than I expected, but I've never used a case on any of my phones in 6 years
The inner layer didn't seem to want to come out of the outer layer that easily so I didn't force it. I just pushed the phone into the whole case. It went in easy enough. After it was on the phone the outer hard layer peeled off easily for easy removal of the phone.
All the holes line up perfect. However the USB-C Port hole is just wide enough for the cable shipped with the phone thus some adapters I have won't fit.
Of course the buttons are now harder to press. Some reviews said it was very hard, they aren't IF you press the buttons squarely straight on, but if you squeeze the phone to push the buttons then they seem very hard. So, it's more of an angle thing when pushing the buttons.
Most of the case doesn't flex/move when you squeeze the phone, but the area where the buttons are does as there's no hard plastic in that area. So a screen protector needs to be just slightly into the black bezel on the side, about 0.5mm imo. I won't be using a screen protector....
I wasn't sure about the color until I seen a review of the same case for the Note 8 on YouTube. It's a nice dark blue with a slight shine at an angle. From a distance it looks black. It looks much better than the pictures on Amazon or NewEgg.
Personally I don't think it adds that much thickness but it certainly isn't the slimmest case possible but I'll take the 10 foot drop protection instead! Hey, it's still smaller that my Moto X Pure
I can see it will collect dust and stuff around the edges, and like I've read elsewhere, it's probably wise to put a micro fiber cloth on the back of the phone inside the case so that any grit that gets in there won't scratch up the back..... If you want to go that far.
Almost forgot..... The all important effect on signal. I read one reviewer say it dampened signal noticeable. Not in my case. I actually seem to have gotten an improvement. I was usually sitting at -96dBm and now it looks stable at -93dBm or better. I did notice when testing signal that how I held the phone affected the signal..... So who knows.... :laugh:
If anyone has questions feel free to ask.

I have the smoke clear incipio and love it. Paired with my iq shield screen protector, im set. I buy incipio for everything

I've had this one in black since I got the phone and the Tudia Glost and I always come back to this one. Best case for this phone in my opinion.

If you use the 360 camera more often like me then this case is what you need, and you don't have to take your case off to attach the camera. I have Tudia case bought from Amazon and it's a very good case if you don't have the camera.

I just got the same midnight blue case today, and it is very nice. I wasn't quite sure what the color would look like since it's advertised as being irridescent, but there's no sparkle to it at all, which I appreciate. I also have Incipio's smoke TPU case, which is nice, but a horrible greasy fingerprint magnet, and I have the Poetic carbon fiber case, which is a great size and feels great in the hand, but it's kind of cheesy looking, in my opinion. I will agree that the inner layer of the DualPro is stiff. My wife has had DualPro cases on her phones for years, and they've all had a very soft rubber inner liner with easy to press buttons. I don't know why they changed that for the Essential case. I'm probably going to slit the buttons with a sharp knife. That's always helped on other stiff cases.

Don't cut the buttons. I took off the TPU and worked the buttons with my thumbs for a few minutes and they are significantly softer.

I just got this Dualpro blue case for my essential phone and i love it! Thanks to the OP for the pictures it made me choose the blue color. It looks much much better than what they show before you buy the case. It also provides excellent protection. The only thing i don't like is that the side buttons are a bit stiff but i guess they will soften up the more i use them. Overall i recommend this dualpro case.

The pics on the web for the midnight blue are truly horrible representations.
Take the TPU off the phone and really massage/push/bend the buttons on the case for a few minutes.... That'll soften them up!

The blue is very very close to Black. I would have chosen that color if they didn't make Black. I like the contrast between the Black and the White

I wanted the black as well but the price went up drastically right after the Amazon sale then it went out of stock and I couldn't find one.... Just after I got the blue Rakuten had the black for the same price. ?
I like the contrast of yours as well!

I've had this Incipio on every phone I've owned that they supported. This is the most I've ever paid for the case, normally they are $5 or $10 off Amazon or eBay. I had to pay almost $20 for this one on Amazon. I sold 2 of the 3 essential I got from prime day so I basically got the phone, USB C PD car charger, and case for free anyways.

Yeah, if I knew I'd like the device I'd have bought two or three. As it stands I like the one I have..... a lot.

Thanks, had to decide between the Tudia and the Incipio model and I will now be going for the Incipio case!

Just got my essential phone and ordered the incipio dualpro. Any recommendations for glass protectors that would suit the incipio dualpro case? I intend to use loca for the installation. Thank in advance

All, recently bought this phone during Prime Day. Too good of a deal to miss! It looks beautiful but very wary of it staying that way so based on your various experiences what would you say is the best slimline case? The Incipio looks good but does add quite a bit of bulk to the phone...

this screen seems extremely fragile based on videos on youtube, posts on reddit and xda etc. For a phone that hasn't sold too well, it seems like there's a lot of broken screens out there. This made me decide to go for the incipio dualpro, hopefully with the additional protection, i'll be able to keep the screen intact!

I'm not sure what people are doing to their phones. I have a cheap tpu case and a plastic screen protector.
