[ review ] zoogue social tpu case - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Here my review for the zoogue social case I have had this case for my s3 and its low cost and in my opinion the best tpu came made it took so long to come out cuz the owner of the company kept sending the prototype cases back cuz the power button wasn't clicky enough ( tactile ) well they did it rite it works great it diferent from other tpu cases its soft and durable not rubbery and isn't slick the griipy ridges on the sides has a decent front lip and the back is very slim protects the camera but not by much make it easy to hold not sure how it works with glass protectors as I am using a plastic knock off ( says it glass and installs like glass but isnt ) works with every kind of headphones I have big and small chargers work well too the stock charger is a little snug but given the flexibility of the case just push it in and works just fine well pics included fee free to ask if I left anything out
I recommend it only ten bucks slim very light and like the one on my s3 it should protect u from a 5 foot drop just fine I fumbled my s3 many times and no issues haven't dropped my s4 yet tho god to test

This is the case I bought when I was planning on buying extended battery (as I always did,) so I made sure it is stretchable.
However, since I went with "Gold 2450" battery, which is the same size as standard battery, I never had need for this case and it accumulates dust in my basement...

Two very strong magnets hold the cover flap sealed:
(you can see where the hidden round magnets are located by the slightly "sucked-in" areas on the flap)
Easy access to USB port for charging,
also that's how far it stretches (good for extended batteries):
Easy access to headphones port:
and it has very bendable belt clip:
Belt clip is NOT a metal piece covered with leather like most are, but it is made of some sturdy plastic, with added bonus here: it actually imitate the leather look and stitches of the case.
I hate those metal clips covered with leather, because the leather starts to rip apart very soon when you actually use it on belt, and I always made sure to have just plastic clip instead.
Yours for $10 + shipping.
I think I've paid $15 + tax (maybe $19.99, am not sure now, I bought quite few things at that time).
It is brand new.
PM me if interested.

Horizontal Belt Pouch for Nexus 4

Personally I've always been a fan of having my phone in a belt pouch instead of in my pocket. With the size of the Nexus 4 and the large plates of glass on both sides I'm seriously afraid of breaking it in my pocket. To that end I've tried two different belt pouches.
First up was a trip to my local BestBuy. Their options were limited so I left with a Eddie Bauer generic large phone case.
This case is definitely built to handle phones that are much thicker than our Nexus 4. The back is also segmented which could allow the closure to adjust to accommodate phones of a range of widths.

The intent is nice, but the result is a case that feels like the phone could fall out easily as the closure is opened.
Needless to say I did return that case.
Next up was the Luxmo LU8HBK. This is advertised as a case for the Galaxy S3 which happens to be just around the same size as the Nexus 4. The fit here is MUCH better. While the closure is a bigger flap than I'm used to, the phone fits securely while still being easy to remove. It looks like this pouch will accomodate a thin case such as the Rearth Ringke. I have one on order but its still in transit.
I had a hunch the Luxmo would fit better, and at $5ea (at the time I ordered) I figured it best to get two.
Thanks OP. I have the same worry about my pocket as you. I read water meters and, as such, squat and kneel a lot.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Off-Brand Ultra Light Case Review

It covers the top and bottom!
One week ago, I purchased the Diztronic Matte TPU Case, and this case. At only a dollar, (plus shipping) I didn't think much about it. I knew it would be similar to those cases you find at the mobile stores at the mall, because I previously purchased a similar one for my iPhone. Unlike most of the cases for the Nexus 4, this case Does cover the top and bottom of the device, but is still light and minimalistic like the Rearth Rinkge Slim, actually this case doesn't have a logo. It is a hard shell case, and is made of two parts, which you press together when you put the case on. It is made of soft touch rubber...plastic....(not too sure, but it is the same texture of the matte black cases), and the volume and power buttons are accessible. It also came with a useless screen protector, but it looks like it was for the Optimus G. Overall, I am very Surprised from the practicality of using this 90 cent case daily. I strongly recommend.
Pro's: Slim, Light, and Minimalistic, covers top and bottom, decent lip. buttons exposed
Does well with edge to edge screen protectors
Con's: Feels Slightly Cheap, cutting of the case was not exact, and there is slight fraying where it was cut
This is my first post, so I cant share the link, but it is called the BC Hard Shield Shell Cover Snap On Case for T-Mobile LG Nexus 4 E960 + Fitted Screen Protector -Black (on amazon)

Aluminum bumper case from amazon prime. Quick thoguhts

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OLFTLVE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Was prime when I ordered it. Anyways, this is pretty much the same bumper that's being sold on ebay from china. It covers the left mic hole on the bottom for the non verizon variant but calls works just fine. It feels somewhat flimsy but overall not bad for a few bucks. Impact to cellular signal was give or take 8% and impact to wifi near none. Fits fairly well on my phone. I took it on and off a few times did not seem to scratch since I was careful.
Overall I would recommend it if you just wanted some edge protection. I was thinking of using it daily but figured I would wait until replacement camera lens were 4 bucks on ebay (as they became so for the note 3,2 etc) You pretty much get what u see in the product picture.

Typo for the word thoughts, please fix. Thanks Mods.
Could you post a couple more pictures of it? Is there anything on the inside that would protect the Note 4 from scratching when you are putting it inside the case?
can you share more photos from different angle?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will scratch the metal frame on the Note 4 when you put it on, And it covers the left mic on N910C.
Please be careful, I used a similar case on the Note 3 and it scratched the frame.
I dont really mind the scratches, it will scratch over time either way,
Just cover it with an case

Poetic HTC One A9 Affinity case review

I received this case a few days ago, this is the first Poetic case I've owned. I have heard positive things about them and decided to give them a try.
This case is really nice, feels good in my hand and most importantly the volume/power buttons have a nice solid feel to them. You know when you press them unlike some other TPU cases I've had.
The cut outs on the bottom are spot on and the edges are nice and smoothed.
Only issue I had was the bottom left corner. As you can see in the pics, it didn't seem to fit the corner of the phone properly. It could have just been due to the fact that I have a full body protector on the phone and that was not allowing the case to seat properly. Either way it doesn't hinder the usefulness of the case in any way.
For those looking for a clear TPU style case with solid rocker buttons and a really good feel and protection, I definitely recommend this case.

Last picture looks like bendgate.. is your phone ok??
Ps: why in the Fudge would i get a case on my A9 that looks like a Goober creature on my phone? Did u not notice this before uploading?

Phone is perfectly fine, look again and you can see the actual screen above the case.
Yes, really. I highly recommend this case.
The "goober creature" you see if you had any reading compression, is because of the full body skin I have.
