Anyone using the diztronic case and can give a review - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I had a diztronic case on my iPhone and loved it but not sure how the fit on the s4 is like. Preferably if your using any of the tempered glass screen protectors. Thanx

I'm pretty sure there are a few reviews on the diztronic case around here. I have it and like it. But no tempered glass protector. Just a std oleo-phobic one. I use it with the OEM wireless charging back and it fits perfectly. But I'd still be afraid of dropping it on a corner of the phone for fear of breakage. I do think it would protect it in a face first fall though.

I've used the Diztronic on my past 3 phones, S2, S3, and now S4. The S4 version is a *bit* sturdier than the older models, but by no means it is an armor style case. The plastic formulation is a bit firmer basically. Good solid fit, keeps the slim profile, haven't dropped this one but my older phones both survived multiple drops with them. S4 version has covered buttons, where the S2/S3 had open buttons. I think I prefer the open button style, but it just may be that I got used to it. Only had the S4 version for about a week so time will tell. Still, very good value at <$10 on Amazon typically.
Still working on a screen protector. I had really good results with the stock AT&T one on the S3, I bought it just to have a cover while I figured out what I really wanted, but liked it so much I kept it on the phone. The ATT S4 protector is a different model, iFrogz I think and I don't care for it, so am on the lookout. Was leaning towards the gas t slim, but reports of it not laying flat make me think I should just stay with a normal flexible type cover.

Ghost Armor?

I've never used it before, but I've heard good things, which is making me consider buying a full body protector. My question is this: who's used one, who's going to be getting one, or if you're opposed to the thought of it, what would you recommend?

I've used just the screen protector on my Sensation... I liked it immensely better than the Invisible Shield. However, they still don't have them in stock. I have a Skinomi coming from Amazon; that has full body protection as well

Skinomi is probably my next choice, I'm just not too certain. Also, I have a ghost armor in cart from their website, just to make sure they were available.

I had one on my G2 and I hated it. Crazy orange peel and it would scratch very easily. Was not durable at all.

I would go with best skins ever. Cheaper than skinomi but has less orange Peel effect and arguably just as good

Don't you guys like XtremeGuard? Which one would you recommend, XtremeGuard or BSE or Skinomi?
I recommend Armorsuit or XOskins. Armorsuit is available on Amazon and XOskin here. XOskin original price is more expensive but they are good but use 55% off coupon code cybermondayftw on XOskin when you checkout and today is last day for the coupon code. Hope that helps. I have heard people complaining that other screen protectors was missing the cutout for the proximity sensor but XOskin has the cutout so I ordered XOskin. I don't know if Armorsuit has the proximity sensor cutout or not but I know their quality is good because I have used them before too. Hope that helps.
I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I'm really impressed with ghost armor. I used it on my gs2 and my gnex and plan to get it for my n4 also.

I feel the same. Ghost armor feels just like glass and I've never had anything close to the orange peel feel on my nexus one/S/Gnex. I just received my shipment from ghost armor for my nexus 4 and can confirm that the glass feel applies to this phone as well. Going to get it installed at the mall kiosk because I'm so bad at it. I can report back if anyone is interested

i also have a tpu case on top of my full body ghost armor, but one side is a bit stretched out and wont fit 100%... nothing really noticeable !!
I put ghost armor full coverage on me and my girlfriends phones and she would just toss the phone in her purse and there would be no scratches when we went and got FREE replacements at the ga kiosk there was no scratches on the phone. I'm probably going to order one today... Possible two sets of full body protection

--wrong thread---
I can vouch for the quality of Ghost Armor. Used these screen protectors for all of my devices. It adds good protection and just the right amount of "resistance" to touch, all while maintaining excellent clarity considering the durability of the material. Good scratch protection and self-heals most of your typical little scratches. I currently have one on my N4, and I am not disappointed at all. The guys and gals at the booth do an outstanding job applying it, and you have a lifetime warranty on it. Can't beat that.
I can also vouch for the quality of ghost armor as well. The camera and proximity sensors are perfectly cut out, and it feels just like glass. It has a wonderful texture and clarity unlike any other screen shield I have used before. I have a tight case on and it doesn't peel at all. Their warranty system is excellent as well, a free replacement if your current one peels/dents (I have yet to experience this). If you do go for the replacement, you may want to bring in your old screen protector if you peeled it off, as the mall stand near me requires that you bring it in order to receive a replacement.
One thing I dislike is that it doesn't cover the curved edges on the right and left sides. I hope they will fix this in an updated version of the skin, but otherwise, to me it is the perfect screen protector.
I also recommend these guys. Outstanding product with a lifetime warranty. I had the screen protector put on my Nexus 7 about a month ago and I am just as happy with it as from day one. Since then I've had my wife take her iPad Mini in for a screen protector as well. Certainly worth the money spent, although I can't vouch for the skins.

Urban Armor Gear Case & Glass Screen Protector?

I saw Vectron's review of the UAG case where he said he didn't think that the Spigen glass protector would fit on with it. What I'm curious about is if anyone has actually tried this or tried it with any other glass protector? I love the look of the UAG case and the reviews here have me just about sold on it. But I'd like to know if I can use any sort of glass screen protector with it.
I dont see why it wouldnt, the s3 version had no problems from what i read
I wouldn't know one way or the other, but I'd love to hear from someone who has tried it. In his review of the case, Vectron just laid the screen protector on there, saying it didn't look like it fit, but mentioned that he had some sort of pre-release model of the phone.

i got the spigen tr glass and it fit perfectly to this case.
and i must said this is a better case then spigen neo hybrid. its smaller in width, more comfortable to hold. The rubber lip off / along the glass is much higher, giving it more protection. the buttons are not so prompt to accidental activation.

Thanks for the response and the pics. Did you put the glass on first, then the case? Or vice-versa? Could you put the case on before the glass, even? It seems like if you could, it might help with alignment.

not the case first, nono i dun recommend tat. the rubber is soft enuff to over lap the glass, esp the tr since its edges are rounded. actually it kinda protect the glass edges, if its not for the cut out at the top earphone, u cant tell there's a additional glass over ur original screen. definately a perfect match wif this combination.

Hi, I'm planning to get the UAG casing for my phone too. but the earphone port is holding me back.
I'm curious if the port is big enough for 3rd party earphones to be plugged in. I've gotten several casing and it can't fit in perfectly for my phone to detect it.
I'm using a Shure SE-215, with a L-shaped jack.
I've attached a photo of the jack.
My iLoome glass screen protector fits perfectly. Im loving it everyday
I am using the UAG with the GLAS.t NANO SLIM and it fits just right.

I bought one for my S3, those things are so cheap and crappy I wasted my money. However I bought a nice from Draco Designs ( which wasn't cheap) but definitely quality. FYI I emailed them this morning and they replied that one for the S4 will be available next week.
So far I have had no case on my phone (about a month) and there are no scratches. I have only a "Just Like Glass" screen protector
This is what I just put on mine.

Not the metal trim ring around the phone itself, but the chrome bezel that's bordering the display has scratched fairly easily on both mine and my wife's with some minor drops. I definitely wish I would've got a case for outings sooner.
The aluminum trim around the outside of the phone however has remained scratch free on both.
Mine has a small ding in it, and I don't ever recall really dropping it. It does bother me though, and I'm certain I had to have dropped it at some point, as it's on the bottom.

I second the Neo Hybrid. I bought my S4 about a week ago (changed from the OG note) and spigen is completely wrapping it with the screen protector and the Neo since day 3 (had to order the case lol). it doesn't add too much bulk, it levels out the back so your phone isn't resting on your camera when you set it down and it provides a lip so you can set it face down and won't even touch the screen protector and for a total of $30 my phone is completely covered and not too much bulk added.
Also NFC works and rumor has it wireless charging should work too.
Its the best case I have purchased, Im about to buy the Glass Screens from Spigen.
I skipped the glas.t and went to their Ultra crystal screen protector. Over in the i717 section there's a HUGE thread going over the Glas.t and they started out awesome but the later posts say that they're getting peeling up after a couple months and was probably due to a change in the adhesive. Plus with the extra thickness of the glas.t the home button would be recessed, with the Ultra crystal the button is level with the screen protector. And at $7 for the ultra clear you get 2 and MUCH easier to apply.
Been completely naked on mine for about a month. No scratches on the glass, chrome bezel, faux metal ring around the outside, or battery cover. I don't drop my phone, haven't ever shattered a screen in 5 years of having a smart phone. I keep it alone in a pocket, and that's it. All my phones have been treated this way. The One X looked like it went to hell and back after a few months, but my iPhones, Captivate, S II, and Note II all survived really well. My wife is not so gentle, just throws it in her purse. So she has a flip case on my old Note II she is now using.
The only place I have seen any of these phones show wear is on the back when they rub when placed flat. On the S II it was the lip below the battery door. On the S 4 it seems to be the bottom lip of the chrome around the camera lens. That small section is scuffed. Otherwise this naked phone is pristine after a month of use.

Ringke Fusion ($13.99) vs Official Bumper ($12.95)

I was wondering which case is better than the other?
I'm looking to keep the nexus 4 slim, sexy, and functional.
I narrowed it down to these two cases because of the clicky tactile feels (on the fusion revision) and the original bumper while maintaining slimness.
I got the bumper a week after I received my phone. Well, not the official one, but a replica of the LG one that's sold in the Play Store. The one I received off Amazon seemed fine, but after about a week of normal use, 2 cracks appeared - one on the bottom where the USB is, and the other on the power button.
I think that they appeared because of plugging in the phone and clicking the power button turning it on and off. The material (metal-looking plastic) that surrounds the bumper is flimsy on it's own, and with a certain amount of pressure and heat from the phone, it's prone to cracking.
If you Google around you'll find that a lot of people have had the same problem with the official one. I bought the same bumper for my friend too, but his is holding up well so far, so I'm not sure. The bumper seemed to have a tighter fit on his N4 whereas mine felt a little loose. He has been using it for a couple months as his was the first wave of N4 that were shipped out. I just got mine a little less than a month ago.
Switched over to the Ringke Fusion based on the number of excellent reviews it got both on XDA and Amazon. Took about a week to get here and because it is the revision, the buttons are clicky and give a good feedback. The case also doesn't add much bulk at all. While I do like the heft of carrying around the phone naked, the glass panels scare me. I never used cases on my old phones, but then again, they were plastic and metal. They sure could take a hit!
The Fusion makes the N4 feel more solid as it is, and it works well with wireless chargers. The only complaint I have about it is the back clear plastic tends to dirty quite easily, with scuffs, fingerprints. But then again, who takes time out of their day to gander at the back of the phone. Sure it's pretty but you'll be spending more of your time messing around with the front.

I remember when i bought my N4, I kept buying different bumpers because either they were too tight [messed up my screen protector], too bulky or did not protect my phone good enough. In January, I bought Ringke Fusion; been using it since then . Its not one of those cheap bumpers, you will definitely feel the quality. Its fits the phone very well and you wont feel the size of it in your hand or in your pocket.

It's a replica. The real ones are sold on the play store. If it says official elsewhere and is less than the price you would normally pay, chances are it's not official. Anyone can say it's official but it isn't.

LOL I would personally get the Fusion, and yes, most bumpers online are replicas even if they are in LG packaging. The normal bumpers cost about 20bux (USD) so that's a good gauge in authentic or not.
There's a thread somewhere comparing the packaging but basically, if there's a holo sticker on the back, mine is square that reads "Original accessories by LG".

You're gonna find dozens of different opinions on this. Everyone has different needs and preferences and few people will have used more than one case.
I've had the Diztronic TPU case. It's not bad. But being a TPU case, it's fairly bulky and I wouldn't call it pretty. I got this one a bit later: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001933/1138601-protective-pc-matte-case-for-lg-nexus-4 Looks and feels better in my opinion and is less bulky. Definitely offers less protection though, but I'm okay with that cause I just like using my phone quite a bit more with this case compared to a TPU one. Doesn't mean you will, though. There is no single best case.
I personally like the S line TPU cases found on ebay, there are only a few bucks and they provide the best overall protection + grip on the sides. Cant complain about 2 bucks.
I'm using this one and love it.

I have used a black S line TPU case from ebay since I first got my Nexus 4 a few months ago. I have dropped it on a couple of hard surfaces over time and it's faired out pretty well and I would recommend them to anyone, also great value for money.
I just got my triple armor hybrid case today and I like it a lot.it feels very comfortable in the hand. The edges aren't deep like the eagle case. Its perfect. Still waiting for my damn mybat tuff case. Its taking forever to get to me. One ended up from Cali to Chicago??? I'm the other way....in Hawaii. The other is just sitting and waiting. Usps is messing up a whole bunch of crap this month. Try the triple armor hybrid its awesome:laugh:
Absolutely love the Ringke Fusion case. It's got a plastic transparent back so you can show off the unique glass back of the Nexus 4 (which is one of the only truly unique and beautiful things about this phone.) also offers a solid amount of protection. Have dropped it a couple times.

For me this cover is one of the best available for nexus 4, there's only one defect it doesn't offer a perfect grip.
Poetic's SLIM case is also pretty awesome, and it leaves the whole screen exposed so you can swipe from the edges (e.g., in Play app). $6 at Amazon...

I second this case. for the same reason. why get such a beautiful phone if your just gonna cover it up
It gives very good access to the buttons, actually making them easier to press.
Although I have yet to actually test it out with a drop, and hope i never do, but just in case.
DROP NOO!!!!!

I agree to the hope I never do, had a 8gb nexus 4 with some cheap cover, dropped, bye bye screen.
I now have a 16gb Nexus 4, with a ballastics gel + shell cover, it works really well.

LOL there is that, ut I am use to the old motorola nextels. Just doesn't seem that long ago to me.
I have always preferred tpu or hybrid cases, the hybrids for the nexus 4 were lack luster at best, and out of the tpu cases I found the cruzerlite a2 to be the best. I had the driztroic but I found it to be a little to slippery with its matte finish and the buttons were a little hard to find and push.

I think I found the best all around case, the seidio surface case. Its like 30$ on eBay, and flat out amazing.

I love my ringke with polycarbonate back. Buttons are A1. The PC hasn't scratched. And it's ten UK pounds
