Draco just released their HYDRA case for the S4. A non-Ducati branded case will be released next week as well. They look great, but it looks like they add quite a lot of width to the phone.
I ordered the new ElementCase Eclipse case, and if I don't end up liking that I'm going to order one of the Draco cases and give it a shot.

OEM means original equipment manufacturer, the complete opposite of fake. And yes, the fakes are out. But they're also usually really bad quality compared to the real ones.

Do you have a link for that? Thanks

Wow! Nice bumper with nice price!!! If I have a honda hornet, and is not ducati, I have to look for another bumper? Hahaha

New Airborne cases were released today. I like them much better than the HYDRA ones. And they're a bit cheaper too.
http://www.dracodesigninc.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=1870

The Hydra cases are beautiful. However, that's a steep price to pay for a case, luxury item or not.

these case are very stunning looking. i just can't see spending that much on a case. there are far to many less expensive alternatives out there.
:good:

Is there a lip on either side? It looks flush is most pics. I was just wondering about lying it down and scratching up the camera cover or the front glass.

Their cases have almost no lay on table rim. They work nicely with glass screen protectors though.

So it makes your phone huge? uhh no thanks

dam almost 100 bucks just for a stinking case? I don't see myself ever shelling more than 50 bucks for a case

Lol so you're essentially paying $100 to not protect your phone?

I was excited for the case at first, but I watched Youtube review videos and I realized how ugly and huge it is...

I wonder if this case would this interfere with wireless charging or NFC

My understanding is that this is a bumper so the back is completely exposed (allowing wireless charging and NFC to work completely).

"bumper"... right. D-ohh

Yes, They're nice to look at. But it makes the phone wider, bigger at minimal protection

Otter Box commuter case

If anybody is looking for a good case for their DHD then I recommend the Otter Box Commuter, great case just got one fits like a glove and will protect really well.
It's in two parts a soft silicone insert with a hard plastic shell over that best I have seen and not to bulky all in black looks mint.

Yeah you can do that easily. The commuter case hasn´t those case mate pop case - problems.
Hello,i've bought Otter Box Defender for moutain bike , a very good case too ...

No, but it makes the DHD much bigger.
When you take the Phone in your trousers pocket it rubs at the sides of the pocket.
But i need to say, that i have no Otterbox but an similar produkt from amazon ^^
Thanks.
That's quite surprising considering the extra thickness the case provides.
It is a great case - but very pricey compared to simlar types of case - often described as hybrid on eBay.
I bought a two piece silicone and plastic for a Nokia N8 and it only cost about £4.00. One 6th of the Otterbox - but so far there doesn't seem to be any hybrid 2 piece cases for the DHD

Nexus 4 Bumpers Confirmed [Back in Stock US 12/11/12]

Google's own Dan Morill has confirmed that "Bumper Cases" will be offered for the Nexus 4. This is the first official accessory that we've heard of after the TouchStone charger.
Dan Morrill 1 hour ago
+Dave Ranucci We've actually got some bumpers (ring-like cases that wrap the side but not the back) coming as accessories for Nexus 4, if that's how you roll.
On the back, there is indeed a small raised ridge, which should prevent scratches if not breaks.

UPDATE: Here's the link and some pictures, available only in black for now for $19.99.
They are back in stock in the US as of 12/11/12 2:15PM EST

Keep in mind this Nexus 4 doesn't have a ridiculous steel frame. Also the back is Gorilla Glass 2.
Nice, I was hoping for this. I love OEM accessories.

God I love bumbers on my phones.
cool! I can't wait to see what they look like.. maybe multiple colors?!
As long as they don't add to much bulk around the edges I'll get one. Unless the design on the back is more ostentatious in person, in which case I'll get a case that covers it.
Possible bumper case?
Look at the purple ring like bumper case in the pictures:

Is that really a bumper or is it just the lighting? If the bumper case is indeed that snug then that would be amazing.
That's definitely just lighting.

I definitively want to get a bumper because I love OEM accessories and this phone looks too good to put in a case.
I've never owned bumpers. Do they really protect devices well? As far as I can tell, they leave the front and the back of devices vulnerable to scratches and breaks. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

They protect the sides and corners and will absorb shock (although not too well) It is a minimalist case, if you are worried about scratches you could invest in front and back screen protectors or have faith in Corning's Gorilla Glass 2.
I think the combination of a screen protector and a bumper will be enough for all but the most paranoid, Gorilla Glass is able to stand up to a lot of punishment.
Bumpers are awesome!
It doesn't add much bulk and protects the device well.

Mr Shield Screen Protectors - Different than shown

I got the el-cheap-o screen protectors in to use while we all wait for some decent tempered glass options. These things are not the same as what is shown on amazon. i have to assume they will work... although i really don't know.
and this is what amazon looks like.

Return to Amazon - I have same issues as others. Arent we going to have this issue with ANY screen protector? If it is smaller, you will distinctly feel the "drop off".
Little different
Just got the clear ones in today. Mine aren't what Amazon shows but they differ from the ones you received as well. There are cutouts for the bottom sensors and a centered cutout at the top. It's also smaller than the screen to avoid the curved edges. They actually sent me an email after ordering it explaining why it's smaller than the phone.

I was just looking at these from Amazon, I usually go straight otterbox for my phones and I've found the screen protectors that come with it are adequate so I've never shopped around for other screen protectors. I just got this bumper/case in: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00N3VHD6C
It fits quite snug and I'm wondering how it will sit with a tempered glass cover.

Best looking note 4 case....

Hello guys I personally believe the body glove satin case is the best case design for the note 4. It's very good looking and will get you plenty of compliments. I have the black one for my white note 4.. Also I have the spigen neo hybrid and it's ugly and thick. The body glove satin case is as slim as the note 4 but offers protection and a luxurious design. Check it out here....http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/styles/slim-series/....ps you have to see it in person to know how nice it is...pictures don't do it justice....it also keeps your standard volume keys without covering it up, also the heart rate monitor is fully accessible with this case and even the power button is not covered.....keeps the note 4 looking fancy

Attractive but not conventional, two step process to see my phone...no way
And for that price the Mont Blanc case, the liner should be real leather not fake.... And come with a hooker for the night
160 pounds for that?
Lol, you can buy the Note 4 for that price in 1 years time.
The best case is UAG.
I just got the Samsung protective cover. Great color(s) and can't wait for red. Slim fitting but still adequate in the most necessary of areas. I'm happy... especially cause I got em both for the price of one.
Sold my neo hybrid. Much bigger than looks in pictures, uncomfortable to hold one handed, can't use the heart rate sensor and not all that grippy for a mostly tpu case.
You literally have to be in the 1% to spend $250 on a case, or you just REALLY like the look, which I doubt would be the case since it doesn't look that special to begin with. It doesn't even make you breakfast.

Wood imitation back cover from ebay

So I was always jealous of OnePlus' wooden battery covers. After realizing that the mi 5 has a removable back, I had no other choice but to buy one myself.
A brief search on ebay provided me with a few choices, and I bought a mahogany one for 9 bucks.
Of course for this price it is nowhere near wooden, but the feel and warmth are kinda same with polycarbonate, instead of the cool glass.
The shipping was terribly slow, but eventually got here, and to be honest it's not half bad. The texture is nonexistent, but the printing and smoothness makes it look like the real thing, unless inspected with macro lens. With the luphie bumper case it pairs up really good.

As it is made of polymer, it absorbs shock, but I don't think a back cover would make much of a difference when dropped, hence it usually lands on the corners. If I were you, I'd buy a bumper case or just a normal case.
