Cases - Nexus 4 Accessories

I am looking for a case similar to the Otterbox Defender with a built in screen protector and full body enclosing for a phone.This phone is made of glass as the body and I want to protect it well. If there are any cases that protect the back really well, I am open for discussion. I just need recommendations.

Get a BSE skin protector bumper optimized and a MYBAT tuff hybrid case from eBay, been using both for months now
"would?"

There are currently no cases with built-in screen protectors on the market. I use the Ballistic Shell Gel case and I have to say, it works amazingly. No scratching and it keeps my screen from touching anything on a solid surface because of the beefed-up corners.

Matte Wet Application Screen Protector?

Has anyone seen or heard of a wet application Screen protector that covers the entirety of the front screen, but also has the matte/anti-glare finish on it?

You're gonna have a hard time finding that. I'd say go the dry application route, and pair the screen protector with a case. It'll do a good job of covering the edges.
Thanks, that's sort of what I expected to hear. I wonder what's preventing them from being made. I know I sure would love a matte feel all the way to the edge of that curved glass

The same thing as why we only have 2 types of bumpers available: OEM or Poetic.
Fosmon is crap
I too had been looking for a matte protector, and got one; had one on my iphone 4, but they have been really bad with the proximity sensor. I had to cut out a piece, and it looks like crap. I got the Fosmon one from amazon.
I'm pretty sure bestskinsever offers one

Your best bet is to stick with dry app screen protectors. The top ones I can come up with are SGP or Martin Fields. They aren't cheap at all, but I've been through cheap ebay ones enough and got tired of the texture and the clarity issue.
SGP won't cover the entire screen. It will leave some corners vulnerable but I have a diztronic case with sort of "lips" over the edges to cover most if not all the exposed areas. I think Martin Field's may cover more than the SGP, but not completely.
The older "Military Grade" of Invisible shield would be closer to sort of a matte finish. They still sell it on the website ( zagg.com ) at cheaper than their newer HD version which is their glass-like version of the screen at the same thinness. The older version also has sort of a rubberish feel to the surface, but it doesn't have that glossy/glass glare like the newer HD version.

How You Protect Your Nexus 4?

Im one of those people who don't like spending hundreds of pound for well designed slimline tech then make it unslimline by
adding a bulky case, ill prefer letting it get few scratches and enjoying.
When i brought the phone i bought the ballistic case £30 but its just to big and ugly very protective but no nice to look at or feel
what im using is a dbrand carbon fibre skin to protect the back and it looks awsome feels good too, and black pouch that ill use
when going out

I have a bootleg replica bumper case. Dropped my phone a few times and everything is still good. I do use it repeatedly without any protection. I am looking to purchasing a tempered glass protection but I can't find anything descent that's affordable and mimics the actual screen.
Bumper with screen protecter is enough

cheap leather bro, plus it doesnt fit it snug could fit a 6 inch phone in them there not made to measure
Mine fits, it is a little snug but it should stretch out after a while, plus the curves fits the N4 perfectly, can't complain for the price
Ringke Slim case, with spigen ultra crystal front/back screen protectors. I have a pouch i carry it in sometimes when i'm out and about.
always naked and lo and behold it's still doing fine after 6 months and several drops. on the front I have 4 minor scratches and 3 of them are not in the screen area. the other is so miniscule it's invisible if you aren't looking for it.

I've got the official bumper, couple of s line cases, the nillkin hard case and the meifeng rubber feel hard case. All of them serve their purpose. Meifeng and nillkin are my daily drivers. Official bumper makes the phone too wide in my opinion.. good luck!

Best protective case that isn't Survivor or Otterbox.

I'm looking for a case that provides moderate protection from drops since I'm pretty clumsy with my tablet usage. I'd like to be able to put on tapered glass on the tablet with a case backing it up to ensure that it has good protection from drops.
Anyone know of any good combinations? It'd be a huge plus if I can close the case as well like a notebook.
Go on you tube and check out the Unicorn Beetle.
I am looking for the same kind of thing a case that works with tempered glass. Wish I could offer advice. Subscribed.

It has a built in screen protector and those built in ones are pretty garbage. Also I specifically stated for a cover that covers the tablet front when it's not in use similar to a book type of cover but I can settle for a TPU case if it doesn't have a built in screen protector.

You and me both bud. Sadly, there's not much variety to choose for this tablet. The leather book cases doesn't seem to provide moderate protection. I might just settle for the Moko case if the tapered glass fits in just fine.
The beetle has survived after a few minor drops. The screen cover isn't that great and after a while it starts to suck. I'm going to remove it and use a glass protector instead, because that works?

I have a tab s 10.5 and with the cover original from samsung I use a protection case from Qilive, I can say it really protect the tablet.
I use the BobjGear Rugged Cover for the tab-s and i have a tempered glass screen protector on also. But it does not have a cover.
Im using slimarmor. accidentally dropped on stairs 15 setps high.. checked it.. unscathed. Cost - 300php or roughly $7
I'm using a Moko slim case for my 8.4. It provides decent protection from scratches and minor bumps. Not sure it will hold up against long drops. Cool thing is it has magnet to wake the tablet up when you open the cover. They're on sale on Amazon for around $14.

Glass vs wet app

Have a s8+ and I use the otter box defender case and a spien case with a kickstand. Do you guys recommend a glass protector or the wet application screen protector? Tried 3 glass ones and they keep popping off.

The glass screen protector made by GPEL works well with my UAG case and Spigen Neo Hybrid. I currently have a wet application screen protector made by Armor Suit on my phone (it is specifically the case friendly model) and it is absolutely perfect with ALL of my cases.

Note 9. What is or will be your case and screen protector setup?

As the title says. What set up are you using or will be using. Interested to know since tomorrow my Note 9 arrives.
Thanks for looking.
Got the Ringke Fusion X, Samsung rugged case and IQ shield screen protectors ready for my Note to come tomorrow. Fusion X looks nice but doesn't seem to sturdy, Samsung case is rock solid. Had the Samsung Rugged for my Note 8 and it was a great fit. Just got the shipping notification from Dbrand for my skins to.

My choice, case will be from Spigen Tough Armor and the protector will be from GadgetShieldz's self-healing protector. The former for drop protection and the latter for scratch resistance. Perfect Combo!!

Spigen liquid crystal and whitedome glass screen protector
I'm torn between the Spigen Clear Liquid Crystal and the Dome Glass clear case. I may order both and return the one I don't like. Anyone have any experience with both of these? Preference?
I cannot use a screen protector on Note devices. It just bothers me. I need that naked glass.
