Got the phone as a gift and I'd like to put it in a case. I will never use the keyboard and all of the cases are geared towards having the slide mechanism operational. I would like a case where I can just put the phone inside, doesn't matter to me if I won't be able to use the keyboard, something like a tpu case for non-keyboard phones.
Thanks
Here's what I use.....
I posted about it here.

i got a black case, 4 screen protectors, and a stylus for 3.99/free shipping.
Mytouch 4g case
I had the same problem on finding the right case, and to be honest, the Otterbox is one of the nicest and sturdy cases I've used. It isn't too bulky nor does it grip in your pocket. It's pretty good material also.
a $10 case perfect for me (access to usb and headphones ports) and ready for larger battery if I decide to get 3600mAh in the future :
PIC1
PIC2
PIC3
PIC4
I'm sure it can be found online for half that or less with free shipping from China, I just couldn't wait 3 weeks when I bought my phone
The trident case, or the fishbone case are the best options for this phone.
Hey guys,
Recently I bought this and while it looked great at first, it dawned on me that it doesn't tightly fit my device and the bottom part of my Nexus 4 has slipped out of the case a couple times..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...959490?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item56513a4042
So now I'm hunting for a new case. I've had really good experiences with the Seidio case with my Nexus S, but it's proven to be rather expensive compared to what others have offered. Wouldn't mind going back if it's the only case of this category that is the best fit and protection for the device.
I was looking at the Mybat but was concerned about the actual bulk of the device, and it being easy to remove as I often take off the shell from time to time. Also, no one seemed to comment if the case interferes with headphones with L-shaped plugs either.
The other two contenders are Ballistic and Ionic, heard great things from both but unsure which is better. I did hear that Ionic cases attract lint very easily but I do like its price very much. Not a fan of the bubble-back design though. Heard great things about Ballistic, but like the Seidio case, the cost is making me apprehensive about purchasing one.
Mybat: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...4?pt=PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item2a286793ca
Ionic: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00A06Z41E/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3KQDBCHA3FRT9
Ballistic: http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/lg-nexus-4-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Seidio: http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-nexus-4-active-metal-kickstand-case-black-p/csk3lgn4k-bk.htm
So what do you guys think would be the best?

I have the iconic and thought it was too thick, so I ordered the Ballistic one and it's even thicker
I'm tempted to try the ACTIVE but I have spent so much on cases it isn't even funny....
Edit...I just bought it on ebay for $24.99 and free shipping.
When i had my gs3 i had a variety of cases including; cheap ebay "tough" cases with kickstands, an otterbox defender (never again), and a ballistic sg. The Ballistic is a GREAT case. It was sturdy, the phone would never pop out, the plastic was nice, and the silicone inner was much better than the plastic inner found on the defender. The silicon not only prevented scratches, but also prevented dust and any other unwanted items in. It almost seals the device. When i bought my nexus 4, i was very dissapointed that there weren't any decent protective cases out. I knew the ballistic sg was coming, but ive had my device since december and needed something for the short term... Something to get so i can wait for the ballistic. I was almost going to buy the case you bought, but i really don't like kickstands. I searched on ebay and found the mybat tough case, I bought it as it met all my requirements; it was cheap, it was protective, it didn't have a kickstand, and it actually looked good. The buyer i bought my case from shipped the case very fast to Australia, (which suprised me, usually these types of cases end up taking about a month) To my suprise, the case was really good quality for the price. The cutouts were (almost) perfect, the fit was pefect, the phone doesn't move about at all. I paid 15 dollars shipped to Australia compared the 70 or 80 odd dollars it would cost me to buy a ballistic shipped. I had the case on for a day, and I loved it...Until I tried to hang up on a phone call... the sensor on the lg is very sensitive, and this case just blocks it enough to stop the screen coming on. This fault was quickly fixed with a drill bit, and since then, i have had no issues, and will continue using this case for the remainder of the phones life. I simply prefer the whole case over the ballistic i had on the s3. However the ballistic was slightly better made, it doesn't warrant even a 15 dollar increase over this case. I love this case. (Note in my pictures the proximity cut out I modified) I did a custom design with sharpie marker on mine and it came out awesome! I wouldn't do this to a more expensive case as id be worried about wrecking it, but since these bad boys are so cheap, who cares. If this broke, i wouldn't think twice at buying another one.
Edit: This case also works with my energizer qi charging mat.
that back is awesome!
FYI the ballistic case works with the LG-WCP700 wireless charging pad. I do however find it is harder to hold on to as it's slippery compared to the Ionic. It's also larger than the Ionic.
I'd go with Mybat (because it's cheap and looks decent) or the Active (because seidio makes a good product and I like the kickstand.)
i also love the look of rugged cases.. been using them ever since my first smartphone
currently i am using this armourdilo case that i saw online.. it is available for sale on mobilefun website or i have seen a seller through eBay AUS...
availbale in a varieety of colours as well although i stuck the standard black on black ...
as well as many youtube vdo reviews bout it.. so i decided to buy it.. really good look and feel..

How easy is it to remove the case once installed? Plus does it interfere with L-shaped headphone jacks?
deltatux
none of those, i vote for this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/160952016421?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

The case is easier to get off than my ballistic sg on the s3 was. With that said, if i drop it, it doesn't feel as if it will fly apart. The case has interfered with one of my L-shaped head jacks, and works with another.. i just use a simple headphone extender when i want to use those earphones.

Hmmm that might not fly then for me... I listen to music with my phone a lot ... my phone is essentially an Internet-enabled MP3 player that so happens to have a phone function built in lol.

I have the ionic case on mine wasn't too sure from the pictures but I like it and the circles on the back aid grip.
I also dropped it from about 5feet and it bounced on all 4 corners but the phone was fine!
Mate I answered you about headphones, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37912172#post37912172 :silly: I can recommend the tuff case too, it is a solid and very fair priced case.

I heard that it is a dust/lint magnet, is this true?

I'm running the seidio surface case. Expensive, but you can't beat the quality.

It does a bit, it is not terrible though, I only really noticed having a look to reply to you!
Second with mybatt.. Cheap and sturdy for the price. Get a good looking one for the less dangerous situations.

The best protection gives you MyBat! I have Wrapsol film and the Tuff case from MyBat and I think my phone is unbreakable.

can i order the ionic case to india?
please reply me asap
i am in urgently need for a case
should be protective and cheap as well
So I run 3 to 4 times a week and have been using my S3 by plugging in the headphones and storing the phone in my pocket, which tends to become uncomfortable depending on the shorts I use. Are there any armbands that people have used for the S6 that would fit the phone in a case like the UAG?? I ordered my G920F and can't wait!! I ended up ordering a couple wireless pads along with a iottie car dock, and a 4 port car charger with one port usable as quick charge when needed. It's a shame I pulled the trigger over the holiday weekend though instead of the beginning of the week and receive my package typically a couple days later. I debated back and forth over the S6 and the G4, but in the end, I stayed loyal. I am still happy with my S3, just needed to change carriers!! (going from Sprint to Cricket)
Curious too. I want to bring my s6 to the gym but i always seem to bump into dumbells n stuff at the gym. I dont wanna accidently smash my s6. Armband would be perfect.
I always recommend QuadLock when this question gets asked. I switch phones about every 3 months, and I like running with an armband, so it's really the only option. They are also having a sale today, I believe?
I always just buy a cheap case off of Amazon, attach the universal device mount to it, then use the same armband I've had for the last 6 phones. (Normally I just pry the universal device mount off of my previous phone's case and glue it to the new one). If you don't mind making your UAG case less attractive, you can attach it right to that case, but I use the Ringke clear one from Amazon for my S6.

I doubt it would work with the flip covers; and even if it did, the flap wouldn't stay closed. It would probably work with the other ones, though.
I got one of these cheap ones: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UA4G4QA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I've used it thus far with a Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Otterbox Commuter, and Verus Iron Bumper and all have fit well.

Just ordered one... Sounds like what I am looking for... The only worry I have is the headphone hole. Is it is a good location?? I haven't received my S6 yet, but I'm patiently waiting!!
Yeah, I think it's a pretty good location. I can't say that I've used it, though, because I have bluetooth headphones that I run with.
Have you checked out FlipBelt? I've been on the fence about trying one out. Currently 1,460 4.5/5 reviews on Amazon.
My wife has a pretty similar belt, and she likes it. Belts are not for me, though.
Agreed, it would be similar to wearing in my pocket. With the armband, I don't have to worry about the phone bouncing around.
As the title says I'm looking for anyone that has tried one of the leather pouches from Krucel that is available on etsy.com?
The specific case im wondering about is this one: Nexus 6P Leather Phone Cover Sleeve (not allowed to post direct link, sorry)
I'm interested in it for my Nexus 6p, but any experience with this pouch is very welcomed.
Great leather Etsy case
Hi,
I bought this from Etsy, it's a great quality case with excellent strong stitching and fits the phone perfectly. It took a couple of weeks to relax so it was easy to get the phone out again but I'd rather it started off too tight than loose, holds the phone and 4 cards perfectly. The seller also has non wallet versions too.
Not sure about their chinglish motto "Get better with age" but it's not printed too large on the case.

Do you have a case on your phone? Just wondering, cause I don't usually go naked with my phone.
Mines completely naked. I use brodit holders in my car which don't accept cases so a pouch is my best option.
Hey All,
I'm another person receiving a Pixel XL replacement after I finally got fed up with my Nexus 6p dying during the last two days of Irma power outages. I've always been a huge fan of spigen cases on previous phones and noticed they make cases for the Pixel XL. I am hoping someone on here might be currently using a spigen case and found a belt clip holster that might be compatible with their cases. I am not a huge fan of the belt clip/case combos i've seen on amazon so far and rather find something that fits a nice case out on the market, but I am open to any suggestions. I won't be using the belt clip all the time but just prefer using one when wearing slacks. I've used search and didn't really see anything like this answered before. Thanks in advance for any recommendations.
Seido
+1 for the Seidio case and holster combo. I have had them on my Nexus, 6P, and Pixel XL and will use them on my next phone too.
