Case flaws! - Nexus 4 Accessories

Why can't a company just make a good case?! The Bodyglove NOVA came close, but its lip was tiny. The Diztronic TPU are close, but lacked durability. Why can't anybody make a case that has a nice body, a decent lip, and good buttons? There are so many close ones, but no really good ones! They all have a major flaw. Why can't there be a case without any major flaws?

I saw someone with an extremely thin iPhone 5 case, so thin that it's more like a skin than a case. I searched for thinnest iPhone 5 case on Google and holy ****, you can get cases that are as thin as 0.3 mm for the iPhone 5. I wish you can get slim cases like that for the Nexus 4 too. Ringke slim comes close at 0.8mm, but it's not quite there yet.

Definitely a keeper! This case gives the phone a nice feel, it's not bulky at all.and the clip on the holster it's good.it had a part on the end that curves up so it won't slip odd your belt.

G2x is a real nice phone.I just installed the news eagle blood ROM and it's awesome. Oh and it's not bulky at all.

I had one of those cases and it broke with in a month. Not saying that case is bad but it will not hold up to the extreme user. Mine got caught on the seat in the car and broke the clip.

I was thinking of getting the Seidio Surface case/holster next, but at this price I think I will be checking this combo out first.
How long did shipping take for you to get your case? I have been waiting for a week now.

It took 4 days. But don't forget its Christmas season and that will probably take our longer for you to get it.

I think I saw that case in a T-Mobile store for almost 30 bucks. Glad I waited on that.
I just dropped my phone from chest high on accident and it landed facedown!!!! I was so scared to pick it up but when i did, its all good. Not s scratch on it.

Just ordered. I'll let you guys know what I think of it when it arrives as well.

Best Body Armor-style case

I know we don't have anything heavy duty yet (minus GUARDIAN on amazon for $10), but I wondering (from previous experience) what your favorite heavy duty case is. Seidio? Incipio? This is my first real smart phone, so let me know what I should be looking for...
Ballistic is working on one.

The reviews there seem suspiciously good. Plus, there is a chance they are priced low because they were the ionic first batch i.e the one without the cutout for speakers.

That's what I'm thinking...
Also, all 5 star reviews? I don't think so...
I'll try it
For $4, I ordered one . I'll post here as soon as I get it (if I do). I also went through all the other reviewer's previous reviews, and they seem pretty legit. Again, for $4 I'm fine with the risk.
I ordered it today and got it shipped today! Should be here by Friday!

Ordered yesterday and got today. It does have the newer pattern that the ionic one does. Will compare side by side with my wife's ionic later when she gets up.

Self made bumper from tpu case

Guys I had an extra s-line tpu case which I was not using so made an tpu bumper case out of it. It still requires finishing touches.

Come on, guys.
OP, you should make the opening larger. Be sure to post pics of the finished product, if you dare.
As an aside, the first sentence of this post really demonstrates why commas are a good thing. I'm glad I remembered it.

Cutting a hole in a case makes it a bumper case, got it :thumbup:
The question is whether it holds your N4 firmly. If it's kinda loose then you're putting your N4 in greater risk.

It is holding the nexus 4 firmly, so I don't think there should be much of a risk.
Thanks everyone for your opinions. I know it is ugly.

Well, it kind of does
While it could use some more polish, I guess the concept is pretty cool Could essentially be a cheaper alternative to the official bumper case for anyone unable to get one.
I am going to do the same thing. Only thing the s-line is good for is a toy for my cat.

Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for Nexus 4

Recently XGear recently their Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for the Iphone 4 and 5.
Here's the Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xgear/krystal-sapphire-screen-protector-for-iphone-4-4s
What I would like to see is that they will also create this screen protector for the Nexus 4. The fact that XGear has already made certain protectors for the Nexus 4 makes them an excellent developer for this amazing screen protector.
They could create a kickstarter project for this nexus 4 and see how many people actually would want this screen protector.

If we have enough people who would want this protector we could write an email to XGear of they are willingly to start a KickStarter project.

I thought someone had said in the other XGear thread that it would be coming soon...

let us know when u get it how it feels on the phone and maybe some pictures. I was reading about their Holy Grail Series and seems to be really good since it says its rated A9 in Mohs scale with A10 being diamond. I wan't to buy it but I'm afraid of how it plays with bumpers or cases like the Ringke Fusion.

I originally tried the Otterbox Commuter which was horribly bulky.
I am now using the Puregear case which is great - http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...stand-holster-for-motorola-droid-razr-hd.html

This. Lol. But, to answer the question, I've been using the Incipio Feather case pretty much since I got the phone 4 months ago. Its only come off to clean dust out of it every so often. As someone who has (almost) never used a case on a phone, this one doesn't bother me one bit.
Yeah I even read that thread and still had a nice brain fart and started a new one. My bad.

I liked the Motorola (Same as Verizon) OEM case and holder with kickstand best as far as functionality, but the pattern on the design plus the thickness didn´t really appeal to me. So I found the perfect replacement with the Puregear version. It´s stronger, thinner and the pattern is sooo much more discreet and elegant, its perfect for mae. Plus I can safely vouch that after 4 nasty falls, both the phone and the case are still absolutely 100% perfect and absolutely flawless, not a single blemish. Extremely satisfied!

Probably not for our phones. I could see for the s3 or s4 b because of the popularity. But if I find anything I'll let you know.
