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.

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 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.

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.

You spent how much on a blender?? jk I want one so bad. I'm just jealous is all. That thing blends ipads.
These things look pretty sweet. I imagine the same story as Otterbox as far as the N4 goes, I'm afraid.

You guys have to understand that with getting a device targeted to a select group you lose out on many things. Including alot of cases. This is one of the prices you pay for being part of the select few.

Exactly! Why won't any big contenders make any cases for the N4? It's not like it won't be profitable. What really gets me annoyed is how many companies such as Otterbox already are selling S4 cases even when it just came out. Aren't we as important?

Sadly, no.
Look at the GS4. Not even a month after release and already going to hit 10 million sold vs. Nexus 4 nowhere close after 6 months. For profit companies have an easy decision to make.

Just ordered one red frame black back
Since the link you provide auto forwards me to ebay at this time, I'm going to not order one.
http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/
Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.
Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.
Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

That thing is gonna destroy your signal. Aluminum back plates kill it, it will be even worse with full sides as well.
I know this case... This seller did not produce or design it themselves. The simply bulk ordered from China and asked the factory to print their logo on the case.
I'll post a link to the sgs3 equivalent which I've had my eye on for half a year but was worried about the signal depreciation issues.

isn't it strikingly similar?
too iphone looking, no thanks.
if I wanted that look I'd use my iphone 5
I refuse to buy knockoffs.

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+
Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case

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.

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.
