Self made bumper from tpu case - Nexus 4 Accessories

Guys I had an extra s-line tpu case which I was not using so made an tpu bumper case out of it. It still requires finishing touches.

but... it's really ugly!!!

Ummmm :what:
We see you meow on our nexus⁴ can we haz some more?

crazy ugly.

....you NEED LOTS OF FINISHING TOUCHES

Fail.

Come on, guys.
OP, you should make the opening larger. Be sure to post pics of the finished product, if you dare.
As an aside, the first sentence of this post really demonstrates why commas are a good thing. I'm glad I remembered it.

Beautiful! They should use this to re-frame the Mona Lisa!

FUGLYYYY!

Cutting a hole in a case makes it a bumper case, got it :thumbup:

The question is whether it holds your N4 firmly. If it's kinda loose then you're putting your N4 in greater risk.

It is holding the nexus 4 firmly, so I don't think there should be much of a risk.
Thanks everyone for your opinions. I know it is ugly.

Well, it kind of does
While it could use some more polish, I guess the concept is pretty cool Could essentially be a cheaper alternative to the official bumper case for anyone unable to get one.

I am going to do the same thing. Only thing the s-line is good for is a toy for my cat.

Its not THAT bad, its actually a cool design, but the not-so-straight cut-out does hamper the potential good looks of the bumper

:thumbup:Its still a pretty cool prototype.....

Definitely a keeper! This case gives the phone a nice feel, it's not bulky at all.and the clip on the holster it's good.it had a part on the end that curves up so it won't slip odd your belt.

G2x is a real nice phone.I just installed the news eagle blood ROM and it's awesome. Oh and it's not bulky at all.

I had one of those cases and it broke with in a month. Not saying that case is bad but it will not hold up to the extreme user. Mine got caught on the seat in the car and broke the clip.

I was thinking of getting the Seidio Surface case/holster next, but at this price I think I will be checking this combo out first.
How long did shipping take for you to get your case? I have been waiting for a week now.

It took 4 days. But don't forget its Christmas season and that will probably take our longer for you to get it.

I think I saw that case in a T-Mobile store for almost 30 bucks. Glad I waited on that.
I just dropped my phone from chest high on accident and it landed facedown!!!! I was so scared to pick it up but when i did, its all good. Not s scratch on it.

Case flaws!

Why can't a company just make a good case?! The Bodyglove NOVA came close, but its lip was tiny. The Diztronic TPU are close, but lacked durability. Why can't anybody make a case that has a nice body, a decent lip, and good buttons? There are so many close ones, but no really good ones! They all have a major flaw. Why can't there be a case without any major flaws?

I saw someone with an extremely thin iPhone 5 case, so thin that it's more like a skin than a case. I searched for thinnest iPhone 5 case on Google and holy ****, you can get cases that are as thin as 0.3 mm for the iPhone 5. I wish you can get slim cases like that for the Nexus 4 too. Ringke slim comes close at 0.8mm, but it's not quite there yet.

Gorilla Glass 3

I keep cracking my screens. Will Gorilla Glass 3 be able to withstand my abuse?
Depends on whether you plan on hammering nails in with an s4 too
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I hate to ask what are you doing to your screens that they keep breaking?
Gorilla Glass 3 will still be glass and if you are excessively abusive, the glass will break.

Doubt the 3rd generation glass will offer any major shatter-proof features over the original GG. New technology does not balance out user error.

As fantastic as Samsung phones are, this thing isn't winning any beauty contests. Outside of the screen, it's plastic. EVERYWHERE. There are some pretty slim cases out there, just take a stroll through the "accessories" sub-forum.
Your options are:
1. Case
2. Insurance (ripoff)
3. Spending your weekends/afternoons on iFixit taking untold years off of your life installing what you hope to be a working screen from what you hope was a legit parts retailer
4. Getting extremely friendly with the customer service reps (read: hand jobs)
5. None of the above, just post on XDA each time you break your phone so you magically get a new one (works surprisingly well)

We have one of those blenders at home and it will blend anything you put into it. The thing is a monster.
Except that nokia.
I'm going to keep using screen protectors until screens become scratch-proof.
gorilla lass = scam. its just a name for corning to make money. it will not do anything better

My Sapphire glass watch was still crackable.
Glass is glass. Doesn't matter if it has gorilla or elephant or bear stamped before it. If you drop it hard enough, it will break. So either get a case, try to be less clumsy, or live with the risk of it breaking.

Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for Nexus 4

Recently XGear recently their Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for the Iphone 4 and 5.
Here's the Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xgear/krystal-sapphire-screen-protector-for-iphone-4-4s
What I would like to see is that they will also create this screen protector for the Nexus 4. The fact that XGear has already made certain protectors for the Nexus 4 makes them an excellent developer for this amazing screen protector.
They could create a kickstarter project for this nexus 4 and see how many people actually would want this screen protector.

let us know when u get it how it feels on the phone and maybe some pictures. I was reading about their Holy Grail Series and seems to be really good since it says its rated A9 in Mohs scale with A10 being diamond. I wan't to buy it but I'm afraid of how it plays with bumpers or cases like the Ringke Fusion.

It most likely got scratched on my zipper from my coat when reaching for my inner chest pocket. Which sucks if it's that gentle I have used tooth paste in my watches before not sure if it will work.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
I've got a scratch on mine as well, that's a bit worse than that. I've got no idea how it got on there.
I haven't used mine since it got scratched. I tried to buff it out with toothpaste but it only helped a little bit.
I need to try some other things, although it might just be too deep.
Screen protectors on a smartwatch are much more essential than on a smartphone, as it's really likely to scratch, even more than a normal watch glass.

Yea tried the toothpaste and worked just a little I'll just return it I mean really a zipper scratching a watch that's kind of ridiculous. Let's see if amazon takes it back since only a week old.
