So I bought the Poetic case first and while I like it I need the holster for work. I refuse to put my nice phone in my pocket with the screen rubbing my leg.
The Seidio is a nice case but its rubber and not strong enough. So I took the outer piece from the Seidio and the Poetic bumper and snapped them together. Fits like it was made for it. Holster works great. Before you couldn't "snap" the phone into the holster because of the flemsy rubber but with this you can. Makes it much easier to attach the phone when the holster is on your belt.
Thought I'd share. Good cheap option for current Seidio Active case owners.

I plan to get a piece of rubber the same thickness as the gap between the Seidio piece and the back of the phone.
This is pretty damn good tough protection for a delicate device. I love it.

Hey, you're using the holster I sold you wrong .
Nice combo! I never would have put those together, very well done modding lol.
Thanks for the holster!

Looks pretty good! Personally, I don't like carrying my phone on my belt, the only person I know who does that is my father!
I have a Gadgetshieldz screen protector (which I wouldn't really recommend) and a dbrand skin (love it), and a microfiber pouch from EverySewOften (bought one because I really loved my Nexus One neoprene pouch, this one is good too), so I keep my phone in my pocket.
Question: Does NFC still work with the case? I ask because my dad's SGS3 with a hard cover case refuses to read NTAG203 NFC tags.
Cheers

I'm sure it does. I don't have NFC installed because I never use it.

Would that be CaseMate? Tough?
There are quite a few threads open about cases already...
I bought a 2$ silicone case from dealextreme, still waiting for it to come in, but good reviews on it.

Can you show us some pics?
I am sure it's been mentioned before and there are probably even some reviews, but I can highly, highly recommend the Case-Mate Tough for the Desire HD. It's an amazing case, by far the best one I've used.
I've had it for a couple of months already. It fits great, looks great and feels great in my hands. So far after 2 months of use it looks like brand new - no wear around the edges. One thing I was a little bit concerned about in the beginning is that the bottom part, which is rubber only (look-up some pictures) would stretch and sag, but that hasn't happened at all.
Just go out and get one, you won't be disappointed ;-)
I got a Case-mate Barely There case.
It's good enough for me as i haven't dropped my phone so far. usually happens in the first few days.
Screen film is also great, can barely see it and the phone is perfectly usable.
I Got A E-Cell Carbon Fiber Case,
Got It Off Ebay For £4.99
Seems To Be Of Decent Build Quality
Tough case user here too, awesome case. Lovin it.
no cases ftw
I am using one from Capdase (http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=5&mid=1153&pid=8890)
Has been serving me well and saved a drop too! DHD becomes more rugged with this.
Otterbox is the best bet for protection. I'm currently using the defender series. It feels really safe and secure. Although quite expensive, well worth the investment.

I've just got the otterbox commuter and it seems great, phone feels really good to hold in the hand and looks like it will protect phone if I drop it
Hi,
I've been incessantly reading through this forum and am loving it. Read most of the case debates and anker vs mugen debates. I've recently got my Sensation and being a clumsy oaf have decided to case it - no matter the bulk.
From what I've read Otterbox cases have a few flaws, as does the Case mate tough series. Seidio seems to be holding people in good stead but i'm undecided about it. (yes I read the mini review and other threads)
The ballistic seems to be getting thumbs up all around (even on amazon and here)
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/htc-sensation-4g-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Am really leaning towards that.
The Aegis Trident seems less protective but has a cool feature that I thought was really thoughtful - the silicone flaps for each of the orifices (so to speak) to protect the openings from dust
http://www.tridentcase.com/case/htc/htc-sensation/htc-sensation-aegis-case.html
Comes in a lot of colour options too.
Would like your inputs in deciding between the two. Or possibly Seidio.
Ballistic is great, except for the weak point, hard plastic above the volume button.
It could crack when you take it off or put it on, or if you drop the phone left-top corner down...

Using the Otterbox commuter. The commuter is ALRIGHT but the flap that covers the headphone jack keeps popping out and the phone is a tad slippery. However as a whole it's a good case that is not too bulky unlike the ballistic.

I have the ballistic and love it had it for a month and it hasnt broke on me yet. It looks super nice as well lol.
Thanks guys!
It is really necessary to have those flaps? The ppl with seidio and Ballistic (sans flaps) do not seem to be complaining about the lack of it.
I don't mind bulk but I work in a school (dusty environment) and I want to protect my new possession.
So I suppose Commuter is back in the reckoning - reviews suggest issues with the headphone flap and a cheap A$$ screen protector which covers only the display area.
And I think the Aegis is out.
Just for looks value i like the TUT case as well But it has charging port issues. Have the later iterations eliminated this? Can anyone confirm?
I have all three cases Trident offers most protection just to big for me. Otterbox when new was great, then some weeks later flaps got flimsy and kept popping out. Seidio which has open ports is not only slim but feels great in the hand and offers just as much protection as the Otterbox other then it being dust proof.

+1 to ballistic, I was on the same boat as you looking for a good case, I bought the ballistic and never looked back!

I found this case on Amazon .
Did anybody of you already buy it?
It looks very good, and the aluminium plate inside the case should give a very good protection if you put your Nexus 4 in a rucksack or bag with some other things.
Is there a similar leather case with some sort of protection built into it? Because the main downside of this bag is its high price...
Looks like a quality product but the price is pretty high to buy it without any reviews.
Looks good, but $30? Probably not. I'll think about it when it's $20 since it's aluminum plated on ONE SIDE ONLY.

I've ordered it but it won't ship for another week or two. I currently have the SGP Crumena leather pouch for my Galaxy Nexus. They aren't making one for the N4, so I had to hunt down for another similar pull tab case. The only ones I found are this one and another from PDair but theirs does not have the pull tab. I had a Proporta leather case for my old iPod Touch and found it to be very good quality.
Maybe I don't get it, but won't this shield the phone from cell/wifi/etc)

I think you are right, but as richteralan said - the aluminium plate is one side only, and the antennas are on the back - so they should work fine.
I bought one. I'm not typically into these types of cases, but heck, why not?! I've spent $30 on dumber things
Got an email from them. They cancelled my order because of "compatibility issues". Seems like they were intending to use one of their cases for another phone for the N4 and it doesn't fit properly? who knows. pretty annoying though.
Heads up! I bought it before it got discontinued. Just tried it out.
They are right.. It doesn't fit. It's waaaay too tight and the phone doesn't fit all the way in That's a real bummer imho. That's the best looking leather case out there in my opinion.
So if anyone knows of a similar case. Please let me know Doesn't need to Nexus 4 exclusive. Just Nexus 4 compatible

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.
I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger
aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...
i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.
I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.
I'm a paramedic who is looking for a case for the Verizon note 4. Im looking for a case thats thinner but provides the same protection as the otterbox defender (if thats possible?). I need a case that provides great protection as my phone gets dropped sometimes and also gets dirty during patient care.
Thank you!!
First, get out your credit card and buy a UAG case, and while you are waiting for it to arrive, browse this forum and soak up some knowledge. The hard question is whether or not to get a screen protector given your situation.

Do you want a flip cover?
I have this one on the way. I don't know if it is thinner than a defender, or how well the fit will be.

Otterbox Commuter.
Otterbox or Urban Armor Gear.
I went with the UAG.
I do not have a job like the OP but I do need good protection. I am leaning towards the UAG because of the military grade drop protection but...it has no holster...which I would use to protect that huge beautiful screen. I have ALWAYS had my former phone screen covered with a flip but frankly I've tired of them. But I'm so paranoid of going with nothing over the screen. Are glass protectors really that great (at protection as far as cracked screens)? I'm extremely squeamish about my new phone. I am a careful person but, accidents happen. I also like the Verus Thor but then I read where someone dropped their phone on the corner while wearing one and it cracked. Blah. Seidio CAPSA seems good but I'm getting tired of waiting for their release. So....cases with nothing (or just a glass screen protector) over the screen....opinions?
