My 'custom' bumper - Nexus 4 Accessories

So I got a real carbon fiber case for my iPad a few days ago and am rocking it with a red smart cover. Thought I'd try to get my N4 to look the same. A can of plastidip, a little time and some elbow grease later, this is what I came up with
Sorry for the shoddy pics. They are taken with my DSLR like iPad
EDIT: Quick shoutout to @dbrandSkins for their amazing black CF skin

Looks good man. You took the case apart to plastidip it I'm assuming?

GadgetShieldz. Its one of the best I have used. Covers the front entirely and even after months of use, looks brand new. A little tacky, but that is to be expected from wet SPs

Looks great! I've never heard of plastidip but def going to look into it now.

No, but I don't see as much "overuse" of chrome here compared to NY. Here is just maybe the rims, but back in the NE there would be chrome trim up and down the car, emblems, decals, etc...blech...I don't mind chrome to accent, but chrome to showcase is not my style.

Looks freaking gorgeous man. Very nice.
Regards to the dipping, it's more of a matte skin that is applied over the entire car. It's not a paint. You can YouTube videos on premium cars like Lamborghini and such. Looks pretty cool really

Perforated Cases

I don't know about you guys but I ordered a couple of these perforated cases from FocalPrice:
http://www.focalprice.com/MSC91W/PerforatedMeshed_Back_Cover_Case_for_LG_P9902X_White.html
I've ordered a lot from them over the years, and I've gotta say I'm awaiting this case anxiously. I'll post back once I get them. For $1.69/case and free shipping you can't really go wrong.
I don't know... the picture that actually shows it on the phone, look at the bottom, it doesn't even fit on the phone at all.
When you get it, do post pictures and a review though.

Pretty sure they were using a fake phone! But I'll let you know
It was a cardboard cutout. Which I've ordered TPU cases from them and they look like that and fit perfectly.

I have a few of these I got off eBay and they work fine. If you want protection, than you may want something better. They are fine for keeping the phone slim feeling with a rubber coating on the case for grip. The coating does ware in time. But overall I swap to it every so often.

Thanks for the heads up!
I am not too scared about damaging my phone as I barely drop it, and when i do it's usually indoors on my floor which isn't too tough.
I'm just tired of the TPU cases for now.
I have one of those it fits real nice its not loose in any way.... only thing is it gets dirty fast. They have black ones on ebay

Thanks! Yeah I read you have to keep it clean. I'm not too worried about that as I take my case off everyday when I get home usually.
If anyone's wondering, I got the White, Black, and Red versions. So I'll post pics when I receive the package. Still hasn't shipped yet Damn slowness.
Curious to hear, thanks for testing.
Just received my cases today. I got black, white, and red. I'll post some pictures later.
What I've got to say about them?
1) They're perfectly sized, they fit the LG G2X like a glove. They're snug but easy to take off/put on.
2) They're just as bendable as my TPU case. I don't really think I could break it. I didn't really like the red, so I tried. Nothing doing.
3) Didn't really notice it getting dirty that fast. And I've been planing doors and redoing my house all day so I'm sure if it did get dirty that fast mine would be filthy by now.
Time will tell.
Cool, keep us updated. Thinking about buying one if they are good to go.

I will try and find a picture. I recently sold the phone. I did the front bezel and the battery door. The battery door basically turned out like a mirror.
After awhile needed to hit it with the mag wheel polish to keep its shine.

So is there no place to buy an Otterbox anymore?

Maybe I'm just blind, but I've been unable to find a place...
Just got an insurance replacement and I need to get a new case because I broken my old one. Had the Seidio case, and I liked it, but debating on trying out the Otterbox.... I wish I could find some high quality pictures of it though. I remember seeing a page somewhere that compared the two in ultra high quality but cannot seem to find it either..

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004QLXE3Y Amazon's reviews beg to differ.
And did you actually own one or are you just speaking out your ass like you always do about something you don't have any experience with? I owned one. It was a fantastic case. It took one hell of a beating from me and others before it finally broke after a year, and I seriously mean one hell of a beating.
My phone is still in mint condition when it should be shattered in pieces many times over thanks to that case.
Also there you go OP. If you want to get one.

I owned one and sold many. It was sturdy, but the way it locked onto the phone kind of sucked. It could pop right off and it was the sliding mechanism of the phone that made it a 2 piece. There's solid no keyboard phones have a advantage with sturdier cases.
I wouldn't even bother...the case is such crap...the prongs on the upper case, pulled two of my keys clean off my keyboard...which was a common issue that I didn't hear about until "after" it was purchased. The only way to prevent this was to file the prongs off, which in turn made the upper case unsecure...such a tool of a case

Clone army Cruzerlite case REVIEW

Hey guys,
So here is the last of my reviews on the Cruzerlite cases. The Androidified Clone army. I am glad that this company is kinda moving away from the glossy finish and going more into a matte one.
BTW...giveaway coming soon lol

heyy, I have been watching your videos on these cases over and over and over again, and other videos on cruzerlite cases for the nexus 4 and i cant decide on wether to buy the cruzerlite bugdroid cirtuit one or the cruzerlite clone army one....which one would you recomend out of the two? and why? and which one just looks the best? and FINALLY which colour would be the nicest? i was thinking about buying the green one but i dnt really know, so whuch colour would you also recomend?
thanks
Circuit ..no doubt... Why? Style that's all. I like the design better. Color? Smoke cause I can still see the back logo and it doesn't call much attention Atty the office but If I didn't work wearing a suit everyday I would go for the green

THe back looks artistic, nice, however I can't understand the screen protector.
If someone sprinkled sand over my screen, I'd want to clean it off so that I can see the screen properly..
Pretty unique, I'll say that. I've never seen anything similar.
Very artsy...
I'm sure there's a customer base for that sort of stuff.
Did you design those 2 items yourself?
Not my taste, but everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so from that point of view, and looking at the design and the workmanship that went into that cover, I'll give it two thumbs up
Enjoy your new S4 look, as I know you are by the excitement exhibited in your post and pictures :good:
I dont Know about you guys. But Im on Team Otter Box.
I use the Commuter Series. Just the rubber glove (no pun intended) and the outer shell. Its never done me wrong.
As for all those flashy type cases....
