It covers the top and bottom!
One week ago, I purchased the Diztronic Matte TPU Case, and this case. At only a dollar, (plus shipping) I didn't think much about it. I knew it would be similar to those cases you find at the mobile stores at the mall, because I previously purchased a similar one for my iPhone. Unlike most of the cases for the Nexus 4, this case Does cover the top and bottom of the device, but is still light and minimalistic like the Rearth Rinkge Slim, actually this case doesn't have a logo. It is a hard shell case, and is made of two parts, which you press together when you put the case on. It is made of soft touch rubber...plastic....(not too sure, but it is the same texture of the matte black cases), and the volume and power buttons are accessible. It also came with a useless screen protector, but it looks like it was for the Optimus G. Overall, I am very Surprised from the practicality of using this 90 cent case daily. I strongly recommend.
Pro's: Slim, Light, and Minimalistic, covers top and bottom, decent lip. buttons exposed
Does well with edge to edge screen protectors
Con's: Feels Slightly Cheap, cutting of the case was not exact, and there is slight fraying where it was cut
This is my first post, so I cant share the link, but it is called the BC Hard Shield Shell Cover Snap On Case for T-Mobile LG Nexus 4 E960 + Fitted Screen Protector -Black (on amazon)

This is the case I bought when I was planning on buying extended battery (as I always did,) so I made sure it is stretchable.
However, since I went with "Gold 2450" battery, which is the same size as standard battery, I never had need for this case and it accumulates dust in my basement...

Two very strong magnets hold the cover flap sealed:
(you can see where the hidden round magnets are located by the slightly "sucked-in" areas on the flap)
Easy access to USB port for charging,
also that's how far it stretches (good for extended batteries):
Easy access to headphones port:
and it has very bendable belt clip:
Belt clip is NOT a metal piece covered with leather like most are, but it is made of some sturdy plastic, with added bonus here: it actually imitate the leather look and stitches of the case.
I hate those metal clips covered with leather, because the leather starts to rip apart very soon when you actually use it on belt, and I always made sure to have just plastic clip instead.
Yours for $10 + shipping.
I think I've paid $15 + tax (maybe $19.99, am not sure now, I bought quite few things at that time).
It is brand new.
PM me if interested.
Personally I've always been a fan of having my phone in a belt pouch instead of in my pocket. With the size of the Nexus 4 and the large plates of glass on both sides I'm seriously afraid of breaking it in my pocket. To that end I've tried two different belt pouches.
First up was a trip to my local BestBuy. Their options were limited so I left with a Eddie Bauer generic large phone case.
This case is definitely built to handle phones that are much thicker than our Nexus 4. The back is also segmented which could allow the closure to adjust to accommodate phones of a range of widths.

The intent is nice, but the result is a case that feels like the phone could fall out easily as the closure is opened.
Needless to say I did return that case.
Next up was the Luxmo LU8HBK. This is advertised as a case for the Galaxy S3 which happens to be just around the same size as the Nexus 4. The fit here is MUCH better. While the closure is a bigger flap than I'm used to, the phone fits securely while still being easy to remove. It looks like this pouch will accomodate a thin case such as the Rearth Ringke. I have one on order but its still in transit.
I had a hunch the Luxmo would fit better, and at $5ea (at the time I ordered) I figured it best to get two.
Thanks OP. I have the same worry about my pocket as you. I read water meters and, as such, squat and kneel a lot.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
I recently ordered one of these cases:

It came to around £10 delivered to the uk, arrived in 8 days.

Over all the case is pretty nice, it is VERY thin, you can hardly see it is on from the front. The sides and back are ridged and this does improve the grip on the phone. The sides to wrap around the front and this keeps the phone screen off the table if you put it face down. The very top and bottom of the phone hang out a little. This case is better for general abrasion resistance I am not so sure it will survive a heavy fall.
The belt clip is made of the same plastic as the case but a little thicker and is lined in a felt like material to protect the screen. The phone slides in and is held in place by a small ridge at the end of the holster. it can go in face in or out and the belt clip word as a kickstand
I've not really used this in anger yet, I will try it tomorrow at work. I have some doubts about it holding the phone in against normal knocks and I can see it getting pulled out of the holster when getting in and out of the car (especially when horizontal).
Could you post some pictures with the phone. This case looks good!
I got the amzer shellster, very similar design. Phone has survived a couple falls already, but both here because it came out if the holster.

I saw this and the Amzer but they both do not protect the top and bottom so I didn't bother. On my Evo 4G I had a similar case (Incipio feather) and I've never dropped the phone but the top chipped a little anyway.
Bought this screen protector off eBay, the only cheap matte one I could find. Don't fancy paying £10+ to mess it up.
The top quality Japan PET material is imported from Japan : high transparent material and frosted material. Transparency:99%, Anti-Scratch, Anti-Dust.

Some photos of it fitted, as you can see the edges don't stick down very well.

The case if anyone is interested,
You can't really tell from the images but it does make the text soft and it has a hazy effect like you'd find on a old touchscreen computer. I do like the matte finish as it also doesn't show greasy marks as much.
Overall the cost of £2.39 for 6 I can't complain and it will hold me over until I find a better replacement. I don't want to post the eBay link up but you should be able to easily find it.
This has been my experience with 95% of the matte screen protectors I've tried. The *only* one I've been happy with was an SGP one on my Droid X.
Which case is that you're using?
You're going to have problems with your phones proximity sensor because from the pictures above, the screen protector is covering it.. I would suggest you cut a hole on the top left corner of the protector before application..
With this current setup, your phone screen will not come on whenever you receive a call...
Woah, that looks really nice! I just wish matte protectors didn't ruin the clarity.
Here my review for the zoogue social case I have had this case for my s3 and its low cost and in my opinion the best tpu came made it took so long to come out cuz the owner of the company kept sending the prototype cases back cuz the power button wasn't clicky enough ( tactile ) well they did it rite it works great it diferent from other tpu cases its soft and durable not rubbery and isn't slick the griipy ridges on the sides has a decent front lip and the back is very slim protects the camera but not by much make it easy to hold not sure how it works with glass protectors as I am using a plastic knock off ( says it glass and installs like glass but isnt ) works with every kind of headphones I have big and small chargers work well too the stock charger is a little snug but given the flexibility of the case just push it in and works just fine well pics included fee free to ask if I left anything out
I recommend it only ten bucks slim very light and like the one on my s3 it should protect u from a 5 foot drop just fine I fumbled my s3 many times and no issues haven't dropped my s4 yet tho god to test
