I agree, it looks kind of cheap looking for $13 price tag. I hope Google gets off its ass and start making these Bumpers available. They also need to start contacting companies to get some cases on the market. If they are going to keep running out of Bumpers and we have very limited options, they BETTER expect lots of cracked Nexus 4's coming back to their replacement warehouse. There is no reason for a company like this to have such a poor E-Commerce practice. It's absolutely ridiculous.

+$3.98 shipping for me... booooooo

I haven't gotten the clear case I ordered yet from them, but I can vouch for their customer service.
I preordered the clear case and received a package from them late last week. It had an S case in it.
The clear cases have taken a little longer to manufacture, so they sent me a free S case to make sure my phone is protected until the clear case is in stock.
Note: I ordered the clear case, not the smoked clear. Looks like they took the clear option off of Amazon temporarily.

Yea I ordered it Friday I think its shipping today I'll post some pics when I get it ...didn't notice the back saying Kay's case till after Lol :/

I have their S- line type case on my nexus 4 right now, I know it isn't the same case, but very similar. TBO it looks like the same one that is selling on Ebay from China for less.
I considered buying one off Ebay, but glad I didn't because they sent me a black case when I ordered a clear one. I messaged them and they are sending me the clear one I ordered free of charge. I know it is rare to have an issue like I did, but it is nice to know they have good customer
service.
Here's a link to the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A72UR7M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

what a crock.
i received my kay case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZNBI2M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and it was identical to iblason:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y0ZZD4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I mean identical in every way. Even the insert they gave. Both are unbranded black cases.
Do not buy this case thinking it might be an alternative to the iblason.
IDENTICAL

I am looking for a clear shield just for the back. Can anyone suggest anything?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my shiny new Nexus 4!

i bought one of these in black. not bad. i dont really like the way the official bumper fits on the phone so this will do until a nicer tpu one comes out.

Got mine yesterday. I like it but it peels up the corners of my Xtremeguard protector. I'm gonna try a thinner protector with it.

UK!!! Screen protectors.

Hi everyone.
Almost every other post about screen protectors seems to be for the USA.
What actual options do we have here in the UK?
(most interested in full body)
Please do not merge this with the "master list" as that list is not relevant to us.

Sorry, what?

I've order mine from bestskinsever.com for two sets for under £11 including delivery

Anybody found any decent, reasonably priced ones?
Ordered the pack of 6 from Germany on ebay and they are god awful, guess you get what you pay for!
Would prefer dry application ones

all the one's on amazon either have no reviews or one star reviews so i also dont know what to get, £11 seems a lot aswell
i was hoping to get a pack of ten cos i mess loads up

I use the same. Best ones out there. If applied properly they last forever and don't get marked like normal ones. They don't get scratched.

I'll let you know when my XtremeGuard arrives from wherever they ship from ... $8.37 shipped to the UK for 2 for the N4 and 2 for the N7.

Just got mine from xtremeguard shipped from USA. Arrived within 8 days (quicker than the phone did!). It seems very good, although no matter whether wet or dry I am crap at applying protectors.
If LG hadn't put stupid power and volume icons on factory cover I would have been tempted to leave that on for a while.

I bought the full body shield guard from Amazon for £6.99 (the wet apply one) and that's great! Lasts a lot longer than the cheaper alternatives

Haha I didn't have high hopes when I saw they came attatched to a bit of paper, going to stick with the factory protector for now. Just want to get some standard dry apply protectors, don't really want to faff about

Review of G Google Nexus 4 FULL BODY SHIELD Invisible Screen Protector Front + Back
I ordered the same.
Pros:
* It fits perfectly fine.
* Looks sturdy.
* Application was easy.
Cons:
* Not smooth for sure. rubbery feel is reducing the feel f the phone.
* Back glass doen't look as glorious as it could be.
* Considering the cost they could send a spray to make the application process easier.
I hope its helpful.

I've used Best Skins Ever in the past and they're good as far as wet application SPs go, reasonably priced and quick delivery from the US...

Guys I wonder if you can help, I need a protector that covers the whole screen, the two ive tried are approximately 5mm to narrow (same as the factory fitted protector) I take it the reason being its because of the curved screen, the protector would lift, if cut to the edge.
Does anyone know of such a protector that allows for the edge curve and fits perfectly?
Thanks

I'm wondering about that too, so far the screen protectors I've seen don't cater towards the rounded edges of the screen. Instead the tend to leave a blunt cut just before the screen curves.
I personally don't like those either. I was looking at Martin Fields protector as I had one on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 and both worked fine. I am worried about the protector lifting though

Diztronic soft TPU case review

So I got my stuff from Diztronic and I am amazed. I dig it..and the reason why is because it found a great market : cheap bastards like me that hate paying more than 15 bucks but still want high quality

Good review, but should be merged with ploone's vid review as well. He did his review a week or so ago. I think there's also a third one as well not a vid review, more of a photo review.

I think I might buy the Black one. Looks impressive.

AW: Diztronic soft TPU case review
Thanks for the review. Case lools really great. I will order one. Actually i had a TPU case from mumbi at Amazon. But the case looks not so good.
..... from my Nexus 4 .....

Honestly, I'm not sure why this case is not more popular. As far as TPU cases go this is the one of the better(if not the best) case I've seen. The inside has a felt like material that protects/cushions the phone back(the glass part ). Its similar to the new Body Glove case but its a bit sleeker and better looking(no stormtrooper look here). High quality design and materials. Bump for a great product. Great price too.
Also has anyone used this case with the Orb? Any issues with charging with the case on?

My favorite case, also purchased the mybat case, but prefer the diztronic. Provides enough protection and good grip.

I was just about to checkout and saw there was a discount code field, after a quick Google search for a code, this thread popped up with your post. I saved ~$1.95, not much, but it adds up over time!

I had one of these for my Galaxy Nexus and loved it. I just got one for my Nexus 4 and was a little disappointed. The on/off and volume buttons seem to need a little harder push than it did when naked or with the bumper case that came with it. On a good note, the Zens charger I got today seems to work just fine with the case on. I will find out how well tonight when I charge it.
One more thing, the data/charging cable I use in my car that worked fine on the Gnex, does not work in the Nexus 4 case as the cut out is two small. I can swap out the cable with a thinner one so that's no big deal.

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.

I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.

I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.

I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?

Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.

Question about leather case? ??

Was wondering if anyone had bought this case and if so do you like it. .. it gets great reviews on amazon but I've read some reviews on other flip cases that the clip makes the spen act up. .. I've never spent more than 20 on a case and this one is 45 on amazon or 39 through the Web site so just wanted to get some opinions before I bought it ...thanks

Trouble is the masstige for the note 4 has a clasp which i hate.
For now i'll stick with the classic flip or ringke fusion.

Noticr most leather are flip. Looking for back type which is one color.

I really like the zenus cases for the old notes. ... anyone had one before? R they good?

I have the shop-leather case without the clasp. The leather is nice, like a very good wallet, but not super fine. Really what I was looking for as far as leather.
On the other hand, I really don't like the TPU phone holder attached to it. I couldn't easily get my phone in and out (a requirement for me). When I can, I'll probably try to replace it (glued) with a Ringke SLIM I have.
I won't use the lanyard, so the holes are useless for me, but not much negative. For now, I'm just using the phone without a cover, but carried in a pouch.

I would love a case like this one for the iPhone 6. http://www.mujjo.com/the-sleeves-collection/leather-wallet-case-for-iphone-6-black
Anyone ever see anything like it for the Note 4? I haven't turned up anything.
