Looks nice, but I hate to cover the awesome glass back. I'm hoping to find a tpu with a clear back or maybe a nice bumper.

Shipping starting "on or around" December 12? Too bad....

Wonder if these will interfere with wireless charging...?

Does it cover the speaker on the back...?

Now that these cases have shipped, I'm looking for pictures. I'm not sure if I want clear or the lime green case.

they still havent updated the pictures on their site and theyve started shipping these cases out?
those are photochopped galaxy nexus cases...

cases have started shipping, got my shipping confirmation yesterday. I expect it to arrive tomorrow.

Got mine today.! I am really liking it a lot. Will post pictures soon

Just got mine in. I ordered the smoked one. Kind of regret getting a see through one because it has the same issue as all see through TPU cases which is the whole "trapped water" effect on the back. Fitment is good though and all the cutouts line up. Overall I'm satisfied with it but my ringke slim is probably my favorite case thus far.

Nexus 4 Cases - UK

Theres nothing around!! They're just sleeves lol! :crying: Anybody know off any good cases that are out in the UK to use meanwhile. So far the options are bad, and I don't want to use a naked phone lol.

Hardly anything in the UK.
I'm waiting for the S gel cases to appear, it's bound to happen before one from China would arrive for me.
In the mean time I guess I'll just keep it in a sock/pouch type thing I have lying around.

Mobilefun are showing 3 dedicated cases , but these are NOT released yet , probably be soon though.
They have the genuine Nexus 4 bumper and 2 FlexiShield Skin cases here:-
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Nexus-4-Cases.htm

Luckily it's almost the exact same size as the GNex so slides nicely into my old PDair case, might get a bumper but I'd like to see one first

Better off going online to find a case. High st retailers have a bad selection of cases.

There is a an s case available from in the UK now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-Case-Cover-Nexus-4-LG-E960-/121022906472?var= they also have some 3 ply screen protectors. I had ordered an s vase from China but have got one of these coming now

lol! I posted about this case myself a few days ago. Thanks anyway

Flexishield
I need something until the official bumper turns up (damn! this phone is slippery) so I've ordered the black Flexishield from Mobilefun and will report back with my opinion.

S-Line case is very nice for the N4. Very grippy and looks good too. However, if you're buying this expecting it to prevent scratches on the back, don't. I have 3 or 4 fine scratches at the top of the rear glass after taking the phone out of the case. I'm sure it would help with shattering if it fell, but it seems to have caused a few scratches on the back :/ They're only visible at a certain angle but there are quite a few of them.
Nevertheless, they're just fine scratches and definitely nothing to cry about. I'm going to continue using the case!

I got my S line case a couple of days ago, for 99p including delivery to (and from) the UK - it was 2 days, it's rather great! Grippy, comfortable, not bulky and not scratching the phone either.

It is a ridiculous situation for a piece of injection moulded plastic that must cost less than a pound to manufacture.

I have the Bumper on order but am getting by with an S- line case and a pouch. I'm preferring the pouch though as the S- line, although grippy, feels woefully cheap.

Ionic Guardian + Spigen screen prot.
Well we (in the UK) can pre-order the ionic guardian ... which I think I'm going to do so my phone can hopefully take a few knocks (shame about no otterbox) ... and combine it with the spigen screen protector, just can't choose between oleophobic and ultra crystal ....
Edit: I can't post links but if you chcek amazon (uk) they are on there...
Anyone got a better/more protective set up that we can get here? .... I'm guessing there'll be a new wave of people in the UK looking into cases now that we were able to order again today (I luckily managed to get in on the 1-2 weeks but aren't counting my chickens till I get a shipping email)

Just read some feedback on sellers ID and people are happy with it, Quality looks good. Also watched videos on youtube about Nillkin Matte Hard Cover and its positive so going to order for my nexus4 which i will get 1-2 weeks.

This is pretty ridiculous now...I ordered a bumper on 13th November!! Over 3 weeks later and it's still pending...Google Play support phone operators don't have any useful information about it...has anyone here gotten one of these yet from Google UK??

LG Nexus 4 Gray S-Line TPU Gel Case For Google Phone + FREE SHIPPING USA SELLER

I was looking on eBay for a nice TPU case that is somewhat clear to see the awesome back of the phone. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321025632878?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Its from Texas, US, so it should arrive quick compared to Hong Kong. Any thoughts on it or if anyone already bought one similar to it? I'm supposedly getting my device middle of next week and don't want to damage it.

Just ordered the white one. I need something for now to avoid a mishap
Sent from the Nodes of Ranvier

I ordered a clear one yesterday!

I ordered one a few days ago from that seller. Still hasn't shipped.

I, for one, am waiting on the CruzerLite cases. Hopefully they make more than TPU soon because i think TPU would not protect the back glass at all. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/pre-order-androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-lg-nexus-4

I ordered one of these in white from the US seller, it came in yesterday. It actually looks and feels a bit better than I expected. Doesn't add too much bulk and provides enough grip.

This one is cheaper and the same thing basically. With quick shipping even though it's HK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170946973494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

SFbags(Nexus 4) pouch

http://www.sfbags.com/products/cellphonecases/cell-phone-cases.php
Just ordered the GS3 pouch to fit with my diztronic hardcase thats shipped out, if there is enough material left at the top, I'm thinking a premium button would work to snap it closed,..we'll see in couple days

I brought one of these for my N4. Can't recommend enough!

I have been looking for something this simple. Thanks for the link I just bought one. Note that there's a small note on the site saying #76 fits the N4.

tempted to order one, do you guys think N4+rearth slim case fit the default N4 size. Or should I get the bigger one, eg One X.. hmm

I have both, and with the case it's a really tight fit. ill see if i can post pics in the evening

I purchased a leather sleeve from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00992V0WW/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00) but it was too snug (yes, I realize the leather would break-in) but it was VERY difficult to remove the phone and frequently the power/volume buttons would get pressed in doing so.
I just ordered one of these (#76); can't wait to get it! $12 seems like a nice price shipped as well (sorry non-US persons).

I will be interested in how it works. If the mofi pouch does not work with my diztronic TPU case, I might do the same.
PS You can contact them with the exact measurements of your encased N4. They will verify what size will work best.

I just got back an e-mail from Waterfield about the bumper + phone fit and their phone. I had found the dimensions to the phone with the bumper on from a another thread (and am assuming that they're true).
Thanks for checking in with us. You'd probably have to go with a bigger size because our #76 size is meant to be a snug fit the Nexus 4 naked, i.e. without case. So anything bigger would be too tight or not fit at all.
You're on the right track to give me the new measurements of your phone with case on. Based on those specs, it looks like the closest fit would be our #84 size which was made for the Samsung Galaxy Note (5.78" x 3.26" x 0.38" in).

I've had one of these sleeves for my Nexus S. Overall it was very minimal and was perfect for what I wanted (although it did gather a lot of dust on it). But, I am not sure about going with something that doesn't fit so snug - as there's nothing keeping the phone in the sleeve besides the cloth itself.

I have a pouch 73 (for S3) and am sad to report that NO the pouch no longer fits when the phone has the official bumper on. The pouch needs to be about 80mm width in order to fit the phone.

That's too bad. Do you have any other case? If so, please check whether it works with it .. I think the bumper significantly changes the dimensions of the phone compared to other cases like diztronic.

My diztronic hardcase+pouch should arrive today
Update: my case is in, should have the pouch tomarrow
Update 2: I should have the case today, sold my evo v yesterday so won't be able to post pics of it on the phone

I received the Waterfield SFBags pouch for the N4 today (#76). Overall, it's what I expected. Attached are some pics.

Awesome, my gs3 pouch should be in today, I'll update on whether it fits with the diztronic hardcase

Diztronic vs Rearth Ringke Case?

Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)
Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.
And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?
Thanks

the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.

Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.

Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?

Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.

Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.

Ringke All the Way!!!
I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.
Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.
Edit:
I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.

I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from [email protected] but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.
Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.

I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.
This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.
I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.

I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.

Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.
Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.
