Which cases are the best for the White Nexus 4?
White cases...?
Sent from my Nexus 4, the only phone approved by Patrick Star
If you want to show off the white a bumper case - if not any case.
Just got my white Nexus. I have a clear Cruzerlite case that looks great and still shows off the white back. The white bumper adds too much bulk IMO.
You should give your white bumper to me
and me the white nexus!

$12.99- Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case
This case is $12.90 and comes in many colors: smoke, red, pink, orange, blue, purple, teal, green, clear, and black. If you want to check the cases out go ahead and check the description for a link to Amazon.
Design
The first thing I noticed about this case is that installation is a breeze. The back has a nice modern design. Side by side the Diztronic TPU, the Cruzerlite looks much classier. The grey case and black phone gives you a nice contrast, especially with the silver buttons.
On the back we see a grey color, transparent “circuits”, and Cruzerlite branding. On the top we see a cut out for the 8 megapixel camera and on the bottom we see a cut out for the speakers. The Nexus logo and LG are both noticeable through the back of the case.
One of my favorite features is that it won’t attract any pocket lint and you can wipe away any residue. The case is a little slippery in the hand, but it isn’t too noticeable.
Protection
One of the benefits to the Cruzerlite case is that it has a lip, which protects the display from damage when placed or dropped face first. This case won’t protect the Nexus 4 from big drops, but it’s shock absorbent and will protect from minor nicks and bumps.
Final Verdict
The final veridct is that for $12.90 this is one of the best TPUs on the market. The modern unique design gives it a much better look than other competing cases and the grippy back is definitely a plus. With tons of different colors to choose from, you can’t go wrong with the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. However, if this case isn’t for you, be sure to check out my reviews of the Poetic Atmosphere and Diztronic TPU.
Is the entire thing TPU or is the back a different material?

The back is more of a sold piece and the lip is rubber like.

Yes. I'm putting them up now.
Here is pictures of the black one. I have another one I might put on eBay since I don't need two black cases. They sent me one for free for the bs shipping problems I had with them.

Is the finish on the back matte/grippy? Or does it feel smooth and plasticky?

The back looks to be a matte finish but idk if its grippy. You just feel the groves from the design and it feels smooth more then anything. But i think it feels pretty good overall.

I agree with this. The case is neither slippery nor grippy.
here are some more pics. this is the smoked version.
I'm interested in this case, does nfc work with this case on?
Yep, I have the clear one and the quality is great. NFC works just fine (use it every day as a car dock)

This is my first choice for N4: Silicone/ Gel case.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2d1LN65Wv8&feature=youtube_gdata_player
It's a candy like case
The color... well neon blue or baby blue or something like that
It's not as slim as a hard case... But my N4 have a better protection

I like my white dbrand skin and white ebay case combo. Gives me the white phone feel without the wait/unicorn hunt. Plus its protected.

I came across some hybrid cases on ebay with pastel colors (also in black and white and other combinations). The pictures online look nice, though I haven't seen these in real life.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...067887?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43b9167e2f
Only reason why I haven't got it is I wasn't looking for a hybrid case.
▼▼ I have This Hard Shell with Leather Flip Cover:
▼▼ Also have the same TPU one as OP...! Really Nice...!
▼▼ And this Hard Shell One too:
Just wanted to show off the OEM case that Samsung sells on their website. This was $21 on amazon with prime, or $29 on samsung.com ($14.99 with the 50% off coupon). Looks great, fits great, and is listed as able to fit with the galaxy multimedia dock with case on. Buttons feel great and case comes on and off very easy. The white backing is a matte pearl white and all the cutouts are perfect.
the white case looks really great with the white phone, you almost cant tell its a case
thanks for the pictures! will be picking one up today in white :good:
it's a nice case but I think I rather have just a bumper the back makes it look awkward even though it tries to mimic the original rear cover...

I have the bright blue one. They really are very nice looking and well fitting cases. I love the look and feel of the case. Not quite enough protection for me as a daily driver though, so I don't use it that often.
I have the dark navy one for the black phone. I like it a lot.

just got mine, best case ive used for the s4 hands down! wont be using my sgp neo hybrid anymore.
I got the Navy blue on my white S4. This will be my daily case from now on unless i need the extra juice then I'd slap my Anker 5200 with my white hyperion case on it.

I have a navy blue one for $20 plus shipping im willing to let go of. Not close enough to black for me but awesome case! PM me. I bought it from the samsung store 5 days ago.
I prefer black why they didnt made any black

as of right now I'm using the ringke fusion case but I'm not liking the bulky size, how easily broken is the back when it comes to bumper plus the skin for antiscratch or suck it up and use the case?
also can anyone recommend thinner case for the n4?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If you want true see through case you only have the rinkle and the bumper
If your not looking for true see through look for some transparent tpu cases out this plastic ones

I have the black leather d band skin and a poetic black bumper. Looks great. Prevents scratches. I rarely drop my phone, and when I have I felt the bumper defiantly helped from scuffing up the sides. I hate cases. Hopefully the n5 will not be do fragile, so in can go naked like I normally do.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
all though the bumper will add width to the device.. if you have small hands it might be an issue, like it did for me lol. Ive been wanting to try the poetic bumper but cant seem to find on amazon nor ebay, the color i want that is.
Also, the back is not drop protected with the dbrand skin, even tho you wont see it if its cracked either. So its a win win

Hello,
I would like to know what material is on the back of the white Nexus 5? Is it the same like the black Nexus 5 or is it different?
It's different.. Its kinda glossy and doesn't grip as good as the black one.

That is awesome because I saw that on black ones the soft touch plastic is easy to scratch. Is it harder to scratch this material?
Can't comment on the white one but my black n5 is holding up pretty good.. There's not a single scratch on the back... Using the phone naked almost all the time.

Ok, thanks for the answers.
I personally like the matte feel rather than the white. So I opted for the back and never looked back...

Me too. If it was an all white nexus 5, I would've considered it but the Panda thing is simply not for me :silly:
I have white, father has black. Feels easier to grip the black one. White one looks nice with the glossy finish on the sides, but scratches easier I think (at least it has with me). I was initially going to buy the black but I ordered white instead just because it had faster shipping.

The white one is not glossy at all. The material is matte. Maybe it's different by region.

The glossy part of the white is the black sides. The backplate is a sort of matte eggshell finish, however it is not the same grippy texture as the black.
Scratch wise they're both susceptible.
i have the red one, which has the same material as the black one.
i never had a white one in my hands, but its said thats its using a "glossy" plastic (i'm thinking of typical samsung, like nexus s), while the black and red ones are using a "softtouch" plastic. i have no idea what exactly "soft touch" is supposed to mean, i expected something gum-like wich a lot of grip. however, its regular plastic, which is very very very slightly rough. a smooth roughness. it feels like its just about NOT glossy/slippery. and it looks matte.

Actually the red is the same egg shell finish as the white, except it also extends around the sides versus the glossy sides on the white.
Only the black has the rubberized soft touch finish.
