Hey guys, Just got this case and I really like it..yes some flaws but cant beat the fact that you can see through and that back is exposed
Here ya go

Okay review but I disagree on the button feedback comment.
I've had my case for about a week or so.. Just took it off today and it is so much easier to press the power button and volume rocker.
They could have made that part way better, other than that I love this case.

Does this case provide a lip on the front to prevent scratches when placed facing down?

Of course not having a case will def feel better. And thats why I said it sometimes feel like there is nothing there...but it seems that it got taken the wrong way..when I say nothing there , I meant like it feels like you are not pressing nothing at all which is not good . sorry for the misunderstanding .
Totally agreed with the fact that maybe for the buttons they could ve use less material making it feel more natural

Yes, It has a lip and it does deliver some protection. However, the lip is not that tall though

Oh gotcha... To fix the button feedback problem... Use a sharp blade and cut small slits by the case buttons... Much better now.

look at the bottom of op post
I ordered mine on a Thursday and the button feedback was normal.
emailed rearth and they messaged me back saying all their stock are now 'fixed'.
perhaps it was a late fix.

Received mine a few days ago. The button feedback is normal as well. Maybe this is the 'fixed' one as well. Anyway, great case, snug fit. The only thing that is, have to remove it every now and then to remove dust that visible in between clear plastic and N4 back glass. A bit annoyed to see those specks of dust... Nothing major
Also can confirm the buttons on this case are perfect now . received mine yesterday.
where can this case be ordered in the uk ?
Amazon
I got mine from Amazon a few days ago and mine is fixed. Button feedback is great.

Hello all..
Actually i was using spigen ultra hybrid case for xperia z2 which is same as ringke case, from many days. Now the case totally turned into dirty brownish yellow colour.
Did any one observe the same on your ringke case?

nop at all! the only "down" is the back, since its acrylic, time to time accumulates some dust.
Got this case a few days back and it's excellent. Button feedback is better than without the case - indeed, the power button now works 100% for me while I was having trouble with it before. Fits like a glove, the cut outs are perfect, especially the mini jack - I can fit most headphones in it now.
In my opinion this is the best case I could buy. It makes the device feel a bit bigger and thicker, but I have more grip when I hold it, and feel absolutely protected. It fell a few times and got no damage whatsoever. The back got a bit scratched, but it's ok, it's two years old!
A nice touch is the tiny feet on the back, so when you put it on a table, you can perfectly hear the speaker.
Definitely a very good case.

Hello NS Owners,
Does your NS squeek when you apply slight pressure on the plastic at the side of the volume rocker?
Mine does and it annoys mei! For €470 it should be a solid build. I'm just wondering if I got a bad one or are they all like this. I don't really want to stuff it with paper!
Thanks
Nope. I've had two, neither squeeked.

Look man, this is what you get with Samsung. You cant expect a solid build when 95% of their hardware is plastic. HTC or Apple on the other hand, they reason why their phones have such good build quality is because they're made out of solid metal (typically aluminum) and glass. Yeah, my volume buttons are wiggly and squeaky if i push them against the plastic bezel too. I have learned to live with it. It's just how Samsung works.
Thanks
Okay thank you both for your input. I think I will contact Samsung. Even if they won't do anything for me, at least they might take note of the complaint.

Better than nothing for sure, but all in all, I hope they don't make the next Nexus phone... :/
Mines doesn't squeak. I think it probably would eventually if you keep removing the battery cover. I try not to remove mines.
I honestly do not have a problem with the plastic build because its light and I love to lay down in bed holding my phone over my face. My old myTouch 4g had superb build quality, but was just too heavy to hold for long periods.

HTC? Have you every touched a HD2? Or seen the screen coming apart on an EVO? HTC is no curve setter, and i personally would put them in the same class as samsung, other than the newest phones coming out recently.

Funny, I've owned 2, and they both of them had buttons that squeaked/rattled. But like another user said, I put a case on them, and it doesn't squeak any more - the case puts just enough tension on them to keep them from rattling in place.

I'm very happy that you have so much money. If ever you feel the need to make your pockets a bit lighter then I'll gladly help you out.
And to everyone else:
It's not the buttons that squeak. It's where the back cover "touches" the buttons. It's almost like the back cover isn't clipping on properly so it moves a little bit and then it squeaks. I've tried using a silicon cover but that had no effect... I wish that they used the Samsung Wave design for the Nexus S. That phone was solid as a rock.
just got a new BLACK GEL TPU COVER CASE from ebay for $3, not bad for the money, fits perfectly, buttons r hard to use but probably have to work them in. item says gel, but feels smoother than gel, not gummy. received it in 2 weeks from china to canada, fastest i ever got anything from there

i have to agree, im going to c if they loosen up a little, or else ill just cut the power one out
I did that for the volume buttons on my TPU case, the power hole was open already, I used an Exacto knife to carve out the volume buttons and it's MUCH better now.
have this model for now 2 month without problem
i love the side grip
probably i cut the power button

so after 2 months it hasnt loosened up
i love the phone naked, but a little too slick and always worried that the phone would slip out of my hands, the case keeps the bulk down and side grip makes for a less chance of it flying out of my hands, but i could of done without it as the tpu skin would of sufficed
I've been using this case since February. It's really quite impressive for the price. It has probably saved me from a cracked screen at least once. For the price it's really good.
Just got mine in the mail yesterday. For $2.42 shipped, how could I pass it up? I love the look and feel of it (especially the feel), and while I appreciate the stiffness of the buttons making it hard to accidentally press something, they are very firm to the point of being difficult to press. Sucks because I love everything else about this case, especially the side grips, and it's easily my favorite among all the Skyrocket cases I've tried (Otterbox Defender, Diztronic TPU, a bunch of those cheap silicone/mesh hybrids and a Reiko case similar to the Defender, but with a kickstand). Do those buttons loosen up with time at all, or do they pretty much stay the same?

I hated the volume buttons on my TPU case so I cut them out so it's just an opening to the original buttons, same as the power button. I just used a box cutter and cut out around the outline, you can't even tell, and it's *so* much easier now.
I have this for a while and I'm pretty sure the buttons are loosening up with time, happens to me that i accidentally wake the phone clicking the volume keys while simply grabbing it. I only remove it when I'm flashing stuff and need to get to recovery often, then it's a bit annoying.
Just bought mine yesterday. Waiting now.

Well, I screwed this one up pretty good. I cut the covers for the power and volume buttons out, then realized that they're so far recessed in the case that I'll never be able to get to them. It's even less convenient now than it was when the buttons were impossible to press. Oops.
Diztronic TPU incoming.

Just received mine in the mail so........Mini review!
Aesthetics:
Its a pretty simple case, not too flashy. The whole case is made of TPU, the back part is matte and while smooth doesn't appear to be too slippery, while the bumper portion fully surrounds the sides of the phone, is fully transparent and has a nice rubbery grippy feel. The nexus 4 back design is not really visible through the back of the case. However, the nexus logo itself can be seen albeit slightly muted. While it does add a little bulk to the phone, its pretty minimal while providing decent protection for day to day use.
Function:
There are appropriate cut-outs for both the and bottom mics, the speaker, the camera and the charging port. The volume and power buttons have these built in pushable sections which protrude slightly outside the case and allow you to press the buttons down. I found that the power button sometimes took a little bit of effort to press, however the volume buttons are perfectly fine. I don't have access to a wireless charger so I can't comment on whether that works or not, but it detects NFC tags just fine.
Protection:
For the front , the added lip should mean that placing your phone face-down will elevate it slightly and provide some protection. The bumper portion provides as good protection as any TPU case around the sides of the phone. The back is also fully covered so this should protect from scratches and minor bumps although I'm not sure how good the drop protection will be (this is obviously not a super heavy duty case).
Pictures:
I don't have a camera at the moment but I'll see what I can do. Pictures added. Apologies for the shoddy camera work, using my roommate's Nexus S.
Still no sign by the looks of it
Perhaps one of these? The description says 0.5mm though.

The buttons can rattle a bit. It's normal for this device and won't cause any problems. The nexus 4's buttons were worse.

Yes, the power button is one rattles for me as well. Nothing to be concerned over unless it personally bothers you. I have one from first batch and that's a minor issue I experience.
Yeah, I wouldn't really recommend sending the device back as you are extremely likely to just get another one with the same rattle. It's very common.

The Spigen Neo Hybrid case is very good quality, small profile, protects against moderate drops (personal experience), and resolves the issue very well (very good feel to it). But, the case is very snug and back is more slick to touch then some other cases. Best case though so far IMHO. Depends on your preferences in all. Most cases will resolve the button rattle because of snug fit around the phone, thus stabilizing.
Had the exact same issue on my first N5. Talked to Google and returned it. New one is perfect.

It just has so many flaws, I don't even know where to begin. I'm sure many others will agree with me.
The build quality is just too good. It is so fast, I can't even see any animations. I need lag in my browser, or it just feels fake. The battery life lasts way too long for me to be able to break in the charger that came with it. The back is so smooth, I think I'm going to drop it. People are always wanting to see my phone, because it "looks so cool", that I can never play with it myself.

You could try putting an XtremeGuard on the back. Maintains the metallic look but adds some grip. But of course if you like the feel of the metal then... yeah probably not =\

I agree. I have mine in a Otterbox case, if I remove the case I have trouble holding the phone. I think any coating would hurt the appearance of the phone but there are clear plastic slip-on cases that might not look too bad?
The Otterbox is just plain FUGLY but I need the protection and the grip!

I have a clear gel case on mine and imo it completes the phone. The metal finish is to slick...i'd drop it for sure. With the gel case its 100% easier to grip, its not slippery and doesnt add bulk to the phone. Also with it being clear you can still see the beautiful design of this beast. I cant say a darn thing bad about this phone

There's a few test videos on YouTube, drop tests from 4ft/7ft/10ft, one of the tests was between the M7 and M8 and the other was between the M8, the G S5 and the iPhone 5S, the M8 got the best results in both test, only finally cracking at the 10ft mark in the latter video, not cracking at all in the M7/M8 video. Also another video shows scratch tests with a key, butchers knife, pocket knife and a hammer. Though it was hard to see in the video, the guy recording said there was next-to-no, if not NO scratches on the device, even after hitting it pretty hard with a hammer, though he used the back of the hammer and finally cracked it.
I think it's safe to say this phone is near indestructible, not saying you shouldn't still baby it but you can feel better about an accident that may happen if you drop it or what not, not to mention the 6 month screen crack insurance from HTC Advantage

I ordered one of these cases even though I like to run my phones naked. I figured I'd order a nice looking case just in case I'm going to be doing something that requires the protection. I thought it looked pretty nice, but that's just my opinion.

I also like how this one lets the phone's natural beauty show through.

I had the clear case with the black perimeter which I purchased with the phone at Big Red's store. I'm not sure, but I think the way the case's rubber sides was such that while taking off the case to access the microsd card I may have bent the metal near the volume buttons. That troubled me and forced me to put that case away. Big Red, thankfully, replaced my handset about a week later (I bought mine at 1:15 p.m. on 3/25/14), and I put a crystal clear TPU case on it which lets the Arctic Silver finish shine through.
I'm actually going to get my second replacement today... First had a small nick in the upper left corner, now this one has a strange bump in the center below the bottom speaker, resulting in warped metal. It wasn't there when I got it, but after some use it showed up. I guess be careful about applying pressure to the bottom corners of the device?
I feel like I'm being nitpicky, but idk... These are pretty glaring IMO.
Hopefully thirds a charm.

Beware of clear TPU: it will turn yellow over time... At least matte finish ones will.
I think diztronic makes the best slim and protective TPU cases. I recently got a translucent gray for my gray metal M8 and it's been great so far. Can't see all of the device's beauty, but it is see through.

I had a clear TPU but while minimal, it provided very little protection. I went back to the UAG. Great protection without a major additional bulk of the Otterbox defender.

Haha. When I saw the title I was like either this person is crazy or its defective. Only flaw on this phone is the camera in my opinion.

And from the note 3.....
Hmmm...they both look fuzzy to me? Didn't look like that before I uploaded Them here.
Anyways, the point is, it's a good camera. It's one of my favorite features of this phone! I compared to note 3, and honestly unless your cropping them, they look about the same.
