After I saw the custom wood case on the new Moto X I knew that’s exactly what I wanted my S4 to look like. After searching various wood back doors, and all wood and wood-looking cases I finally stumbled upon this beauty. A minimalistic, real wood veneer on a clear plastic “half case” that allows the brushed aluminum to still shine on.
//NUWOODS
Check out their Etsy store here! There’s 17 different wood options to choose from, one is sure to fluff your muffin. And at only $26, it’s an amazing buy. They even have custom engravings as an option.
//MY PHONE
I chose the Aromatic Cedar for two reasons. 1.) It smells amazing. How many people can say that about their phone case? And 2.) because it looks hella sexy on a white phone. It’s got a unsaturated, vintage look to it, it almost looks like there’s a real life Instagram filter on it. Haha.
//TECH SPECS
NFC, S-Beam, and Qi charging all work through this case so that’s a super plus for me. Since this is a half case, there’s no full cutouts just super generous half cutouts that don’t get in the way of plugs or fat fingers. Volume rocker and power button are fully exposed, even the fattest auxiliary cords work in the headphone jack and well, USB cords have never been a problem and still aren’t. I also have a 9H .4mm thick tempered glass screen protector that fits like a glove. No problems.
A note on the Qi, I don’t have the official Samsung back plate I have a receiver that fits inside the OEM case. It does add a slight bulge to the wood case. I’m not sure how the receiver back plate would fit.
That goes to show you, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Because I think that thing is hideous.
Saw that case in virgin megastore...

I actually prefer this one but can't imagine buying it unless there were a massive sale.
Can't imagine R4ANDR01D hadn't looked at it already and dismissed it, perhaps because of the lack of protection on the sides.

I was watching the installation video to see the coverage, and it appears that the back, top side and bottom are all separate, and w/it being black on black, it's kind of hard to see what it leaves uncovered. I don't want my phone to look ghetto fabulous, like I just patchworked this on one night after watching a fast & furious marathon drunk w/gaps on every edge.
Anyway, if anyone has, let me know. If not, I'll jump in and try it out and post photos and give my 2 cents.

I've had something similar to this, but it was called PhantomSkinz. I had it on my G2, and myTouch 4G. Both felt great at hand.
Glad to hear from someone that has had something similar. Not like I'm going to need much to twist my arm to get it, but it certainly helps to get feedback.

That's actually one of the benefits of having all the pieces separate, the piece that would cover the metal strip is separate. I agree with you, but I plan to keep the metal strip shown, even if I have to use an exacto knife to make it happen.

I agree... And upon taking your advise, I just bought a 12"x48" sheet of it from ebay. I worked w/vinyl for several years, from custom applications made in-house to pre made applications, so I'm comfortable w/the whole process. The saddest part is, w/o your input, I probably never would've thought of it on my own!
I'm excited, now I can make it fit how I want! PLUS, it was less and I have enough, that I can customize friends phones if they like the look of it... For a modest price of course. <hehhehhehhehheh>

Ok, today I have gotten the case. It feels sturdy, fits on the sides perfectly. Despite of the site being registered in US, it arrived from "Jacky Chan" in Hong Kong (lold at that one) Took ~10 days per airmail.
The cut-outs for camera and flash + back speaker are fitting perfectly aswell, along with volume and microusb cut-out.
Only thing that was a bit weird at first was that the covering didn't fit perfectly "at once", but I guess after a while and stretching it'll fit. The cover holds though, while also giving access to power button.
I am in work atm, but I will post pictures once I get home. Stay tuned.
For ~24 USD it seems fairly usable and good-looking case, in my opinion.
THIS is the bomb! 60$ but worth it ! I have used this company's similar case for my HD2, Desire HD, AND now for the Sensation!

I think it is possible, but I am not sure whether it then wouldn't be prone to further ripping. The hard plastic ends on the bottom from where the leather-only hinge starts and there you should be able to perform a cut, while having it still stylish.
Maybe if you would finish the cut part with some sort of superglue mixed with black ink, it would fix the ripping issue.
So I saw these became available over the weekend and had to order them. I got 3 of them. I got the Black & White Abstract (Inverted), Camo Light Green, and Andy Scratched. As I have said in the past, I had this series on my Gnex and that is why I rushed to get these. Let me say again, not disappointed. Highly detailed, great TPU feel (not plasticy like some would think by the looks) and kickass designs. It doesnt have the volume cut out but as I have said before, I actually am happy it isnt. I dont click them on accident with any of my Cruzer Lite cases on. All other cut outs are perfect. Ive become a pro on putting on these cases. FYI, there is a wrong way to put them on. Start from the top and then the bottom right side and then finish up with the bottom left side. This way, all the cutouts match up 100%. I have a crappy cam in bad lighting so the pics are crap. Im sorry. Check out cruzer lites site or amazon for high res ones.
I thought the Andy Scratched was going to be my fav but once I got the camo one up close and noticed there are Andy's hidden in there, its now my fav.

It feels like the rest of the case. The persona line is just fancy designs. They dont add any different feel.
What's the difference between the 'Persona,' 'A2,' and plain TPU cruzerlite cases?
I like the design of the 'Argyle' type, but if it's not as good quality materials I may opt for another.

Persona is their fancy line with all the different designs, the A2 is what got them famous with the Andy in the case design, which also adds to a better grip I think and the plain is just a plain tpu one with no grip. I have the persona and A2 and I have the A2 on my phone 90% of the time.

I know right! I'm using a similar case for my tablet, and I take it out whenever I'm at home. For the Nexus 4 though, that could be a very dangerous thing to do... Then again, with the current case I'm using, the bulk makes it difficult to have a one-hand operation anyway.
Ordered this case on Monday from ebay, just waiting for it to arrive from Korea to Singapore. Ordered Lime green/Navy blue and Mint/Navy blue. Will post again once I receive it.
This case is pretty good. The tpu inside is a tight fit and the speaker, cut outs are ample and precise. The colours are pretty funky too. This is the mint/navy blue version. Just received it today

Liking it so far. I think it's worth getting as it can protect the front screen although the power buttons are little tough to reach but it's possible to get used to. Using proximity screen off so that's not really an issue for me
Realize this thread is a little old but I just received mine today and am pleasantly surprised. I have tried a couple of flip cases for my Nexus 4 (Poetic, PDair) and have been disappointed. This one is nicely made, feels good, and has a nice magnetic clasp. I especially like the fact that, if you choose to put credit cards in it, the edges of the embedded TPU case prevent the cover from coming in contact with the screen.
It only failed one requirement I had for such a case... and that is easy removal. Since the back of the TPU case is covered with the hard wallet material, it makes it a bit tougher to get the Nexus out. But considering I have yet to be pleased with any of the other flip cases this is now no longer one of my requirements. A steal for under 10 bucks!

I'm located near Shenzhen China and have been to the stores, which are actually entire buildings, where they manufacture and sell these cases.
These cases are essentially replicas, but they definitely do a good job of copying the real mercury cases, down to the very minute details. Some stores have better replicas than others, for example these Fancy Diary cases may have the threading skipped on the edges, fraying, or discoloration. Here at ground zero, you can pick these cases up in bulk for $15 - $20 RMB which is slightly over $2 USD on average.
Not saying these cases aren't worth it, but just thought it would be interesting to let you know where these cases came from. Being that the price was so cheap, I definitely picked up a few cases myself for friends and family without even thinking twice.
Not being able to decide, which from the two should I pick. Any suggestion?

Stolt ägare till en Nexus 4!
Hey guys, I just recieved this case that I bought from ebay and since I've found it so pleasent to use and to look at, I decided to share my impressions with you, so here we go. Hope you enjoy the pictures, I took a bunch since when I look for a review I want plenty of captures.
Starting off, the case is worth 8 USD and I bought it from ebay. I got it shipped for 4 extra box.

Starting with the case itself, its made from a hard plastic cover, wich as you can see is coloured red, its smooth at touch but it has some sort of texture on it wich you can't really feel but its there. The borders are made from some kind of tpu plastic wich is totally flexible and I have to say it has a very premium feeling on it, and the back itself has the same feeling of being a nice material that looks and feels incredible.

There are cutouts for the camera, speaker and microphones, and there's also a small cutout that follows the earpiece's shape. Off course, you still get access to your headphone jack as well as the micro usb port.
The power button and volume rocker are protected within the case and don't worry they are very VERY easy to press, even easier that without it, unlike some other cases ( that I also own that are such a pain to press ).
Regarding protection wise, I've been using this case for just 2 days and I haven't dropped my device since then but I'm sure its gonna do well. The borders slightly cover the front of the screen and since they are made to absorb the impact if it lands front-faced and the back is a hard plastic wich its gonna protect it if it lands back-sided.
What about the feeling using it? Well, the phone feels very secure when placed into the case, it doesn't add to much bulk to it to be honest, it's clearly not one of the skinniest out there but it isn't that bulky either. It doesn't add to much weight neither. It's very comfortable to hold to say the least.
I have to say that I'm very pleased with my purchase, since it is very cheap for a case that for my taste it's quite handsome and well made.
Feel free to say if you liked this little review wich I never thought I'd do.
Nice find :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
Is the red in the pics pretty much what it looks like in real life?

If you are talking about the pics that I captured then yes, that's exactly the colour wich the case actually is.

Any other cases you have that you can show to compare the size between them?
I'm contemplating on getting either this or a Poetic Bumper since I'm getting tired of my S-line case.

I've got 2 more cheap tpu cases ( S-wave black one and another transparent with a matte back ) but they are fairly similar to it size wise, don't think it's gonna help a comparison between them.

Alrighty, thanks. Looks like I'll lean with the bumper then.

I think it's pretty clear in the pictures, isn't it?. As you can see it offers a little bit of distance between the concrete and your screen if it falls on it, so your screen should be safe from hitting the ground.

Looks amazing, just wish they had it in Amazon... It reminds me of the SGP Ultra Hybrid, or a nicer Ringke Fusion...
