As the title says, im looking for a simple case with a textured feel to it. Any ideas? Not a fan of the feel of the smooth plastic that most of the slim cases out there feel like.
Thanks

Thanks a lot for this! Looks really nice
One question, does it have a slight bump at the front to protect the screen?

It has a slight bump, but the bump is at the curved edges, so the edges compensate most of the bump (I really hope you could understand what I want to say :laugh:, I tried my best :laugh. There's still very little "bump", but anyway, it's never a good idea to leave the phone screen down .
Thanks again! Get what you mean Haha I don't usually but if the phone were to drop it would at least provide minimal protection

Looks exactly like the type of feel i was going for, Thanks! Was about to get the nillkin frosted shield. My only concern is that it doesn't seem to be well known among the n4 users since everyone usually talks about ringke, nillkin or poetic. I will look for some reviews

I bought two of these Aquaflex cases from Amazon, one black one white. Got both for only $9.35. They look really nice and offer the slimming fit of a plain rubber case, but the back piece is made of really tough material you can probably depend on if you drop your phone. The white case looks especially sexy on this phone. Just thought I'd share.
Here's the link to them:

It's under Hybrid Case I think haha
On the topic of this specific case, it's very nice. I got one from eBay for about 10 dollars total... black version, it has no problems and I've used it for over 6 months, survived a few drops without a scratch!
EDIT: Wait, does that one come with some kind of logo closer to the bottom, near the metal that you can see through from the phone? Mine doesn't...
I was having overheating issues with previous cases, so i will give this one a try.

Hello,
I have this caes and it is okay. I have it in clear. I mean, it is ...okay I guess.
I was suprised to hear that otterbox does not make a case for this phone. Trident case is pretty nice though but it is bulky and I like bulky though. yummy.

I really liked the Trident case, but it didn't last me very long. Since I'm always taking my case off, the bottom clip eventually snapped off
I will look into the other case though. it looks much nicer IMO

I had a white one and after a couple months the clear plastic separated from the rest of the case. Looked good while it lasted though.

Hey i was thinking as no bumpers are available
can we make a bumper out of tpu case by cutting it?
don't want to hide that awesome sparkly effect of nexus 4
what say any tried that out
Tried it and it works to a point but unless you cut it precisely or with a machine it won't come out right I used one of the clear S line series and had a lot of miscuts o well

If you're considering a TPU bumper, then might as well get a Poetic Bumper, as that is what it is. Their Poetic Atmosphere is a clear TPU with "bumper" material in the right places, as another option.
Did it as well, the sides are a bit too lose if you want a true bumper. Cut it more like a poetic and it may be fine but I regret doing it for what it matters.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
so you guys say that it is better to have more thick and cut less so the tpu material can withstand the forces?
Has a s-line case. Got a second free from poetic. I made it into a bumper. It looks horrible .... Would not recommend unless you have an extra FREE case lying around.

Yeah it's like a really thin case for me since i'm really careful, i've only dropped the phone like 3~4 times in a year that i have it now and a few corners of the skin got bent so i cutted with a razor so it won't lift up the whole part getting the phone in and out the pockets and so...
And try to read the instructions really carefully before aplying.

I ended up getting this one. Stylish, protective (TPU material), and provides good grip so it doesn't feel like it's going to slide like mucus out of your hands. Great case. Love it.

But i felt it made the phone a lot bigger on my hands and in the pockets so i changed to the skin and it was much better :good:
so a few weeks back i dropped my phone in a parking lot with small, lose gravel rocks. i like a naked phone but this damage made me want a case. i don't like bulky stuff so i went with this slim case from ebay. its 0.5mm thin.
what i love about the case is that its fingerprint and smuge free. and i just like the look better.
pics of the damage.
ouch
ouch
case and phone
Ouch indeed. But that case doesn't protect top and bottom from those little rocks!

haha i know... just hope i dont drop it again lol
Sorry bout the damage. I use to think I wouldnt like a big bulky case until I got one. Its alot easier to hold I dont know how many times ive dropped my phone laying in bed. Not to mention my hands dont cramp anymore either. Something that small I would be worried about the shock from dropping it would transfer right to the phone. Will save from chips and whatnot but a hard enough drop I think it would transfer to where it counts, the screen/glass. I dont know how many times I dropped my s3 onto the concrete. Using a case with a silicone core and a hard skeleton definitely saved it. Still looks brand new right out of the box. My .02
Edit:
Check out the seidio convert. You might like it. It has the active I think its called at its core. A minimalistic case much like your but its also has a silicone you can wrap it in and then a hard skeleton on the outside. Nice because when your at home you can take off the rugged elements and have it in the slim case. Once again my .02

Nothing, you don't have to. Won't interfere with anything.
If you can't stand the look of it: take it off.
If you want some added protection: leave it on. I'm with this camp :good:
I have one of those cases as well. Don't you feel that its too slippery? Kinda makes me scared of dropping it.
I actually use 3 different cases for different occasions.
1. Spigen slim armor if I'm outside all day
2. Regular tpu for around the home and office
3. Wallet case when flying (folds into a stand and has pockets for id cards)
Buy a few more cheap case types if you can so you wont be stuck in one particular type
I'm using a desmay case which I think is 0.4mm thin, looks similar to the one you got

I have never used a case on any of my phones. My 2 year old threw my s4 across the room the other day. Luckily it was on carpet so nothing happened to it. After looking at thousands of cases on ebay I just decided on the neo hybrid. I hate cases/covers....
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
glass screen protector and a case are a must. but a case that can protect all sides
I want to buy a new case, there are lots of cases but I would like to get any recommendation from someone who use these kind of cases - Hybrid , silicon + plastic, if its possible I preffer ones that cover the micro usb (and headphone jacket).
Thanks!
