Protecting my Nexus 4 in a tough industrial workplace?

Since I work in an aluminum cutting facility, and I listen to audiobooks all day on my phone, I wanted to get some serious protection for my new Nexus 4. I've had phones annihilated by this environment before so I'm not taking any chances.
I decided on a two-part solution and ordered XGear's Fantom 4 tempered glass screen, and a Ballistic SG Series case. The Ballistic is sold out in black on their own web site, but I found one on ebay (at a discount, too) .
I'll post some impressions after the gear gets here next week so other people in tough work environments with questions can share notes.

XGear Fantom 4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector For LG Nexus 4
http://www.xgearlive.com/products/android/lg/fantom-4

Keep us updated about each product. I work in a refinery as a Teamster so I'm primarily interested in the tempered glass screen protector. I also keep my N4 in this leather pull tab pouch while at work. It just gives me the extra piece of mind in case I bump into anything or something bumps into me. BTW I got the note 2 sized leather pouch because it fits my N4 with any case including both types of bumpers and my heavy 2 layer protection cases just like the one u bought.

Looks good I worry about things pressing against my pockets as I work as well. I'm a little concerned about the tempered glass interfering with the touch sensor, but if it doesn't it'll be a fantastic protector. I use a high quality wet applicator screen protector right now and it's pretty good but it's not as good at preventing marks from granulated hazards like aluminum shavings and the like.

I'm using a case optimised BSE. The leather pouch is perfect at absorbing shock and punishment. Its perfect for people who work on an industrial setting. Its not to bulky either.

I agree just not at work. For those who need extra protection in an industrial setting the pouch is perfect.

Keep all of us updated in general, if it does well in such a harsh environment, it would definitely benefit the end user in a normal environment.

The Ballistic case is exactly what I am seeking. My phone arrives next Thursday so I need the protection.
Unfortunately the EBAY Seller wants $31 shipping to Canada which is insanity.
Otherwise I'd buy the ballistic off of EBAY this second.
If anyone else finds this case please post.
Thanks,

Please do let us know if this combo works. I've ordered the Ballistic case. The Fantom 4 looks like a good solution in the absence of an Otterbox; do you know if the Fantom 4 will interfere with the Ballistic case?
Thanks!

No idea but it's so thin I rolled the dice. I'll keep everyone posted asap when the gear arrives.
It looks like the shipping date of the XGear Fantom screen protector has been pushed out to March 1st, so in the mean time I'll have to order a decent wet-application screen protector.

There is another thread about Clarivue's tempered glass. It's on sale for $29.99 at this moment, might be another glass option for you(ETA is Feb. 7)

Ugh I just saw that earlier today and it looks fine. But I've already committed to the xgear or I'd just jump ship. Hopefully we can get some comparisons going to see what works best and interferes with touch the least.

The ballistic case looks awesome I'm gonna order that as soon as possible, I just ordered the rearth slim to at least protect the back glass but I think the ballistic case will protect in the long run
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The ballistic case was shipped and will be here in a few days. My Skintomi full-body front and back protector will be here today or tomorrow. I have an email into XGear and Clarivue asking them both how their tempered glass screens fit the curved bezel of the Nexus 4.

Preferred screen protectors..

So after basically a terrible customer service experience with Spigen, I'm thinking of getting a different brand of protectors. I like the feel/look/discreetness of the Spigen, but want to know what you guys have otherwise.

I have been using the Tech armor HD clear protectors for a couple weeks now and have been having smearing issues with fingerprints. Have a MIME Ghost glass tempered glass protector on its way and will report back on if that is a better option.

I have been using Capdase KLIA range of screen protectors for my last 3 devices and found it to be of excellent quality. Highly recommended !!!

I like the tech armour. Finger printy but durable and smooth.

I just put on my Zagg Extreme 3 days ago. I have been using Zagg since the original iPhone and love them. The extreme is twice as thick as the normal one, which I like much better. It does takes a few days to get full clarity though.

So, has anyone had any difficulty using a Seido Surface case with the Tech Armor Ballistic Glass screen protector?
Thank you!

I like the Zagg HD. I've used it before with the E4GT and now the S4.

I would suggest InvisibleShield. I stick to the classic version. Got a few specks under the film when installing, but I can deal with that. I like the grip and the orange peel effect has never bothered me. I tried Ghost Armor, and it really was an inferior product.

Even with professional installation, the Zagg Invisible Shields keep losing adhesion in the upper-left corner. I'm trying the Tech Armor Ballistic Glass next, but getting the replacement Zagg sent as a backup. I do appreciate the scratch protection afforded by Zagg, but don't like the rubbery feel, nor the orange peel effect. There's no substitute for the responsiveness and feel of glass.

Xiaomi Mi Max Accessories Discussion

Just want to ask if anyone bought any good screen protector / cases / etc that fits nicely or have good quality and where they got them.
Well for me,
I found this PZOZ Tempered Glass protector from aliexpress and it works really well
Like I've tried around 3-4 other brands (also from aliexpress) that have cuts that doesn't fit completely due to the 2.5D glass
This PZOZ one covers up the annoying black border around the phone too
Only con is that the white is a little bit too transparent so u can see through it (like you can see the black border behind)
It was really easy to set up and comes with the microfiber cloth/alcohol wipe/sticker and I've pulled and re pasted a few times with no problems .
Also found a frosted TPU case on aliexpress that fix nicely with all the cut out and it was much better quality compared to the normal TPU cases u can find cheaply all over aliexpress
Not sure If i'm allowed to post links but if anyone is interested you can pm me
Was thinking of grabbing an VR headset for Mi Max but it seems like there's just a few that barely supports the size so i'm unsure

Hi, I'm interested in buying some glass protector and a case can you send me the links?
Best Regards,

You should have opened this thread in the Accessories section...
Anyway I am using Xiaomi original TPU case and after a month with it I wouldn't recommend it. It was perfect fit when new but got too loose.
Just bought Nillkin super frosted shield case and I am pretty sure(hope) it's better than Xiaomi one. At least it's a hard case... what I prefer.

I bought this luxury case:

Could you send me the link for the screen protector please.Thank you.

I got this one today from eBay.
It sucks. It doesn't fit edge to edge, which is expected because of the curved glass, but even so, it still lifts up on the sides a lot. It went straight in the trash.
Sent from my EVA-L09 using Tapatalk

Bought a Nillkin protector today. Should be the best one available. I have one of these now and it feels cheep. Feels more like plastic than tempered glass. Also the oleophobic coating is bad and there's a vertical wide line where there's no coating at all so that area gets dirty all the time. It also has some annoying dot pattern over the whole screen area that can be seen very easily. Not impressed. The only good thing about it is that it covers the black frame although it's a bit transparent so you can see through it a little. Overall low quality of everyting but it works as protection.

Got my Nillkin yesterday and it's worthless. At both sides the adhesive doesn't stick so there's a nasty border on both sides where the protector does not stick. I threw it away in seconds.

Yep... As I expected this is an excellent case if you like that kind of cases. Perfect fit, excellent grip and fill, no more pushing buttons accidently when grabbing the phone... And keeps the device slick design.

Using soft TPU gel transparent case, i like to see the original beauty of the phone

I got this clear plastic hard case delivered today and for me its perfect. Slim, unobtrusive and gets the job done. Also the price means that if I accidentally scratch or crack it then I can just throw it away and get another one.

Using same, but black.
I have a very big spot in the middle of the screen, not air bubbles, but from the liquid stuff used for it to make it stick to the screen (I guess).
It is very annoying. I will probably take it off. Anyone know what I can use to reapply it, if I take it off and try to clean it?
It's my 3rd glass with issues. Had too small, not applying on sides, now it fits well, no air, but stupid spot issue.

I removed it, cleaned the back side of it without touching the edges that have some kind of glue on them, reapplied and now no more spots.

Im looking for a black tampered glass protector in India. But to no avail, most products I managed to are plagued with bad reviews

Possible best protective case for curved screen? And screen protector?

First time I am facing having to protect a curved screen so a good protective case will be a must fro me. From the Galaxy s7 edge forums I managed to see Speck Candyshell case had the higestest "edge" on the case and it kind of feels most secure to me because it appears to put the most distance from entire phone screen to anything it might hit. Or do othe people think differently? Which company do you think will make the best portective case?
Also, which company do you reckon wil make the best screen protector?

Rearth Ringke. A Korean company.
I unlocked your mum's bootloader.

Spigen, Always. Note 7 Cases are ready.

Ordered a bunch of VRS cases, tempered glass and regular screen protectors.

Otterbox defender series will offer the best protection of any case pre ordered mine as work in construction so need to protect my phone

They have tempered glass on ebay that's curved for this phone as well.

I also am giving G-Color a shot with their 3D full coverage screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HE74V1U/ref=psdc_2407781011_t2_B01HEZ69XU because Skinomi doesn't have curved Tech Glass yet. Skinomi Tech Glass is my usual go-to, but I don't know about having a flat protector bump stopping before the screen edges.

We( myself, wife and two teenage daughters who break everything it seems) have been using with zero casualties I might add, the Supcase Unicorn Beetle cases for several years now. It's like a hard ish polycarbonate case but the entire outside edge has soft rubber over molded. Not expensive. I can't tell you how much those cases have saved me.
I too am looking for a curved tempered glass screen protector option. I skipped the "edge" option in the past models but can't anymore.

Just ordered the unicorn beetle pro for work and spigen neo hybrid crystal for home. The supcase has a built in screen protector to hopefully prevent scratches while at work. Since there aren't any good tempered glass out yet I'll go naked while not at work and hope the gg5 holds up.

Case Megathread

I think we should try to keep case discussions in one place. Please post your experiences with Redmi Note 9 cases!
Personally, I'm currently using the one in the box, but I was looking to maybe get something a little fancier. Although, to be honest, it's been significantly improved from past phones, it fits a lot more snuggly!
Anyone have any good cases with a kickstand to recommend maybe?

I got the Nillkin textured nylon fiber case from the official mi store. It's not too bulky but still seems to provide good protection and it feels so good in the hand imo.

I got one of these, good coverage and protection and has a clear back so you can still enjoy the rear panel colour. Also a ring/kick stand which is handy.

I finally came across this one on Amazon. It actually comes out far enough to protect the camera bump and has a deep enough lip in the front to allow a tempered glass screen protector and still not touch the table if face down. Even though it is one piece it comes in seven colors.

Never had a Nillkin case before so thought I'd give it a go. Seems OK for the price but did take 58 days for delivery to Australia, due to Covid I suspect.
The phone fits snuggly into the case and the cutouts are almost perfect but I'm not quite sure that it's the case that I'll be staying with.
Looking for something that feels a bit more grippy in the hand as I tend to drop my phone's a lot. And I'd feel more comfortable with something that also adds a little more protection from falls.
The Nillkin is nice enough, and affordable enough, for those who aren't as clumsy as me, but I'm sure there's better out there for those who are all thumbs.

Looks like a real fancy but thicc boi. Does it cover the camera?

Yes it covers the camera with a small bump so it won't hit the table. Same with the front. If you put glass screen protectors on front and back they will align exactly with the bumps.

I got this for my Note 9S. Got it for around $3
The build quality is not bad for its price. Its platic blue layer is not loose; will not fall or crack anytime soon. I can trust it if I drop my phone.
The bump between the case and the screen isn't quite deep so its recommended to use a thin screen protector.
In contrast, the camera bump is good even with a glass protector applied.
The ring can be used as a stand for portrait (only one angle) and landscape (two angle but one is a little bit unstable)
It does make the phone a little bit thick but its not something that will make it bulky when I put it on my side pocket.

Already collected some cases for my phone
- Ringke Fusion X, this is also good for best protection with slim profile
- Spigen Liquid Clear
- Spigen Tough Armor, by far best rugged case for note9pro
- Spigen Rugger Armor

It's Nillkin, you can slide for covering camera.. ,really nice, I want to buy it... ???

I've got this one.
No idea who is manufacturer.
It costed about 6,7 € (7,7 USD)

If you want quality then i suggest you go for Spigen or Ringke case. I've bought one of spigen case for my samsung galaxy s7 and it's still solid (not getting soft like cheap case) even after 1 year.

I got this case, costs around $2. Covers the camera too. Fits quite nice.

I got a Spigen case off eBay, its saved my phone from many drops. Would definitely purchase Spigen cases again whenever I change phones.
