Im amazed that after so many months, there is not ONE single good quality and fully functional bumper or case for the Nexus 4, aside from the official one... I've searched this entire forum, all trought youtube, ebay, amazon, google, haven't found one thats worth buying... everything is ugly as hell, or damages the signal, etc, i am very dissapointed that manufacturers dont make quality stuff for this phone...
Maybe I just haven't searched well, if u guys know any bumper or case hat is REALLY high quality, premium, nice design, nice materials, please post, would be very appreciated
Kind Regards.
You're correct. I don't even use a car or bumper because of the lack of great cases. I've bought many and all sucked.
There's plenty of good cases for this phone... Just depends what kind you want and how much you want to spend.
I have an OEM bumper, it's cheap and it works good, hasn't fallen apart or anything. Only complaint is that dust accumulates quickly underneath.
I also have a Nilkin Leather Flip Case, it works perfect, I have no complaints with it whatsoever.
It's because there's not enough carriers that have the phone. The Galaxy Nexus was on Sprint and Verizon. It had more cases.

OEM bumper, made by LG is good. some peeps here complaining about breaking because they treat it like they stole it and careless. trust me. Mine has no problem 5 month. i am very careful. look at the bumper. it's a thin plastic material not like titanium built tough. common sense peeps.

I didn't treat it carelessly and it broke within four months. It'll eventually happen. Just wait for it. It happens without dropping it and just from natural day to day use.
The bumper is great though, the feel of the buttons are great but at the same time, it does make the phone slightly bulkier.
Using the poetic bumper and I like it. The buttons aren't as good but it isn't as bulky either.

i've gone caseless for months because of this issue. been hoping UAG would make one. but honestly really surprised as a nexus product, it has no great cases or high name companies making cases for it.
There are a few good cases (acase superleggera, myriad of tpu cases, boxwave resolute, etc.) and I like the poetic bumper even if it doesn't last long they don't seem to have any problems replacing it.
The sales aren't there for the bigger case manf. to jump on the wagon.

Yep, me too, very happy with it. Nice balance between protection and looks plus as a bumper it gives you something to grab in an attempt to avoid the dreaded finger-smudge-look that you can easily get with the Nexus 4. Fantastic phone but glass front & back? Design over common sense there...

Sure.
Some people's bumpers don't break because they're disgusting people and never clean their phone.
Mine broke on the USB port. Never dropped or abused.
Take yours off and clean your filthy phone once in a while, it'll break for sure.

Is that what you're looking for? The HTC One X and the Nexus 4 are almost identical in dimensions, so this should fit perfectly.
nice ill check it out! thanks
edit: just bought it, should come with perfect timing to the phone's release! cant wait!
the only thing i worry about is the material, if it will scratch the glass on the phone! i hope not...
The whole point of that case is to protect the screen, I doubt it will scratch the glass unless you have sand inside it :laugh:

hey thanks! i've just ordered 2 of these neoprene sleeves.
i also remembered the neoprene sleeve from the N1 and really liked it, hope this will be the same again .
i'll post a quick answer when i got the sleeve and the phone to tell you if they fit it.
I don't like the neoprene sleeves. I have one for my GNex, and it slides in and out way too easily. I much prefer the LEATHER sleeves that came with the G1's.
Also, they have neoprene sleeve for sale one eBay that are advertised for the N4. Not sure if that makes a difference.
Well I think I'll have to run my nexus 4 without protector for a few.days till I can decide on one.

So is anyone using a neoprene sleeve for their nexus 4?

Enjoy.
I have the knockoff version of lifeproof. If the real one is better, outside of the feel of the case in your hand, I imagine it will be better than the seidio obex.
The sound solution of the fake lifeproof is better than the seidio obex.
The case on the fake one hasn't been dinged up like the seidio obex.
And lastly, the fake lifeproof's cheap screen hasn't been scratched up by anything and I drop it in with keys all the time.
Here is my review with some photos of the fake one.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427099
The real one seems to have a real button over the home as opposed to the fake. I hope the side volume and power buttons are more responsive. I imagine that it will have a warranty like for the iphone 5 - I also imagine it will have better quality plastic/rubber/tpu than the fake one.
I'm excited. Trying to decide if I am going to drop what will probably be another 80 dollars on another waterproof case.
Dammit!! lol I literally just ordered a love mei case. Oh well I'll get it and keep it until this one comes out. Hopefully they release this case a lot faster than they did the s3 one.
Sweet very stoked about this.

Well, the obex feels really nice in the hand. It's shaped nicely and has a good rubber part for gripping. In regards to design in shape and form factor, I think obex is better.
But I know that obex has some sound distortion issues and albeit it might be the case for all waterproof cases. I have the a fake lifeproof and it doesn't have any sound distortion, it might be not as loud, but it doesn't have this vibration / buzz with high pitched noises. The obex can play most music without problems but my higher pitched notifications sound weird.
I expect lifeproof to offer a limited device warranty like they do for the iphone 5 cases, which seidio doesn't have.
Both are going to be otherwise the same in regards to drop rating(2 meters - mil 810-f/g) and waterproof rating (ip 68).
Outside of aesthetics and the feel of the case, the lifeproof will have the warranty and better sound solution. You may prefer the obex because it "feels" better. I don't know about the durability of the case or screen protector yet of the lifeproof, but the obex's screen protector can get damaged rather easily and the case can get buffed and scratched up / permanent creases easily as well. The later being more of an aesthetic thing. However, you do have to treat the obex with some care. Lifeproof may be the same way.
I'm not sure if you can install the nud with a screen protector on, if not your screen obviously is at risk of scratch damage.
It sounds like it will be a nice case but there is a whole lot of speculation going on. "Expects" and "guesses" aside, it will be interesting to here an unbiased review once the actual case gets released. This is definitely not an attack against the OP, because everyone has an opinion and a user experience, but i think it is important to keep speculation separate from fact. And, anyone that has read the OP's opinion on the OBEX case (in one of the OBEX threads) can definitely tell bias (and that is OK, we all have our favorites). At this point I'm going to wait for the case to be released and see how it actually preforms in direct comparison to the OBEX and other similar cases. And because it hasn't been released yet, that can't be done yet.

Obex:
Fact: Keys in pocket + case + 1 day = scratches on case, abrasions / creases on the screen protector.
Fact: 1 day at the beach = 1 or 2 sand pock marks = it must have got a few granules on the screen and somehow the pressure of being against my wallet pressed those granules into the protector.
I doubt I could do a direct comparison to OBEX. So you're right, it is definitely a "bias" based on poor performance that I admittedly would never put another 80 dollar case through. LOL.
I am certain that my review caused the vast majority of the users here to treat their OBEX more carefully than before, and they are having a great/better experience than myself - which is good.
OUTSIDE of the above - the following is opinion that I really don't think is biased. In regards to the sound and the warranty, I think there is enough of a track record that those two things will be true from prior models.
The sound solution and the warranty is what I base what Lifeproof's advantage will be over the seidio.
I believe the lifeproof won't feel as good in the hand as the obex.
As I said before, I don't know about the materials otherwise. I consider these to be equal until proven otherwise.
Anyone use the case on the s3? How long did It take to scratch the screen to hell?is it replaceable? If not maybe better off to get the nudde model to change out the screen? They should use glass!!!!!! Oh well someone will come out with one and is WATERPROOF

I understand that it sits on top of it but look at the shape of all glass screen protectors. They go down to the home button. The home button part of the lifeproof or seidio obex would be in the way.

it's a device warranty with a deductible.
http://www.lifeproof.com/en/total-water-protection-program
It's 1 year probably because wear and tear render the case less water protective over time. The snappy ends that the obex have are similar to the lifeproof.
There is a seal at the bottom created by a foam like waterproof insert against the bottom entrance for the lifeproof iphone 5 variant.
The obex has a rubber plug like mechanism.
Personally, I know how the liefproof feels in the hand because my wife has one, and my friend has one for the GS3, unless there's a major design change with different mats (which I doubt looking at the picture). The obex definitely feels better in the hand.

For even cheaper knockoff waterproof cases, try ebay. I have one of those for $15 and it's definitely waterproof although the screen protector is not completely flushed against the screen so you have to put a little more pressure on the touch and also decrease txting accuracy.

I don't see anything being better than my OBEX. Had my first drop last night and all it did was bounce! Also, it doesn't add much bulk at all.

I have the OBEX too. It definitely protects the phone, but I have to disagree with the "keeping it from sliding around" part. The OBEX is just plain slippery, particularly in my hand. Most of the soft surface is on the inside of the perimeter edges. It helps when you hold the case in your hand, but the back is hard and slippery. I wish the front and back faces had more soft material - it would really help.
I want to use this case daily, but it makes my phone a little too big for my taste. For now I just use it for special circumstances.

You're gonna find dozens of different opinions on this. Everyone has different needs and preferences and few people will have used more than one case.
I've had the Diztronic TPU case. It's not bad. But being a TPU case, it's fairly bulky and I wouldn't call it pretty. I got this one a bit later: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001933/1138601-protective-pc-matte-case-for-lg-nexus-4 Looks and feels better in my opinion and is less bulky. Definitely offers less protection though, but I'm okay with that cause I just like using my phone quite a bit more with this case compared to a TPU one. Doesn't mean you will, though. There is no single best case.
I personally like the S line TPU cases found on ebay, there are only a few bucks and they provide the best overall protection + grip on the sides. Cant complain about 2 bucks.
I'm using this one and love it.

I have used a black S line TPU case from ebay since I first got my Nexus 4 a few months ago. I have dropped it on a couple of hard surfaces over time and it's faired out pretty well and I would recommend them to anyone, also great value for money.
I just got my triple armor hybrid case today and I like it a lot.it feels very comfortable in the hand. The edges aren't deep like the eagle case. Its perfect. Still waiting for my damn mybat tuff case. Its taking forever to get to me. One ended up from Cali to Chicago??? I'm the other way....in Hawaii. The other is just sitting and waiting. Usps is messing up a whole bunch of crap this month. Try the triple armor hybrid its awesome:laugh:
Absolutely love the Ringke Fusion case. It's got a plastic transparent back so you can show off the unique glass back of the Nexus 4 (which is one of the only truly unique and beautiful things about this phone.) also offers a solid amount of protection. Have dropped it a couple times.

For me this cover is one of the best available for nexus 4, there's only one defect it doesn't offer a perfect grip.
Poetic's SLIM case is also pretty awesome, and it leaves the whole screen exposed so you can swipe from the edges (e.g., in Play app). $6 at Amazon...

Absolutely love the Ringke Fusion case. It's got a plastic transparent back so you can show off the unique glass back of the Nexus 4 (which is one of the only truly unique and beautiful things about this phone.) also offers a solid amount of protection. Have dropped it a couple times.

I second this case. for the same reason. why get such a beautiful phone if your just gonna cover it up
It gives very good access to the buttons, actually making them easier to press.
Although I have yet to actually test it out with a drop, and hope i never do, but just in case.
DROP NOO!!!!!

I agree to the hope I never do, had a 8gb nexus 4 with some cheap cover, dropped, bye bye screen.
I now have a 16gb Nexus 4, with a ballastics gel + shell cover, it works really well.

LOL there is that, ut I am use to the old motorola nextels. Just doesn't seem that long ago to me.
I have always preferred tpu or hybrid cases, the hybrids for the nexus 4 were lack luster at best, and out of the tpu cases I found the cruzerlite a2 to be the best. I had the driztroic but I found it to be a little to slippery with its matte finish and the buttons were a little hard to find and push.

I think I found the best all around case, the seidio surface case. Its like 30$ on eBay, and flat out amazing.

I love my ringke with polycarbonate back. Buttons are A1. The PC hasn't scratched. And it's ten UK pounds
By backwards engineered alien technology.....
A friend of mine works there and I have the Otterbox Defender. All I need is the phone...LOL
So why didn't you post a pic? What good does making a thread about having it if your not even posting proof?? Our at least giving us an idea of how it looks smh....

I was just about to ask if anyone has found a bumper case for this thing. This phone is already so big and fat that it needs a bumper so as to not make the bulge in the back any thicker.
Sorry i cant post links yet...
Www dot otterbox dot com /en-us/moto-x-pure-edition/defender-series-case/mot2-moto-x-pure-edition.htm
Now has the box in stock. I ordered one today.
I cant even count how many times Otterbox has saved my phone. I wear the belt clip and work outside year round in Florida. Heat, rain, humidity etc. Lifeproof fell apart in 6 months otterbox going strong 2 years later.
I literally drop my phone 3 times a week from the side of a forklift a box truck a loading dock and pick it up dust it off and keep on rolling. They may be ugly but they work damn well.
The real question is where in the heck is the Commuter case!? They just lost my business to this http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartphone-cases/motorola-smartphone-cases/motorola-moto-x-pure-edition-cases/dualpro-case-motorola-moto-x-pure-edition.html
Thanks for the link... I'm definitely not going to get the Otterbox case
I don't think this phone is huge by any means but I did just come from a nexus 6 lol. .
I like the supcases, they are cheap and offer good protection, the heavy duty version is way slimmer then a otter box.
I got this on Amazon for $8 to hold me over until a better case comes out. It does the job and protects it pretty good. I wish it was a little snugger fit, but it'll do for now.

I had one like that for my old note 2, if the case was more snug they would be decent. Hell ive been using the clear plastic bumper that came with the phone until the 30th when I can get my supcase heavy duty for $20
