Nexus 4 Diztronic Case Review
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Black TPU
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Smoke TPU
Diztronic Website
Design
5/5
The back of the case has a nice glossy tough black cover. The bottom of the case has a good looking shiny Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. The edges are made of a gelly type of material that makes the case easy to go in, but tougher to take out. This is a plus in my book because it makes the phone seem like it melts into the case. The edges of the case go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". This could be an issue if you use a screen protector, but don't quote me on it. The buttons can be pressed very easily and they aren't stiff at all. The buttons are the most easy to press out of any case I have ever used.
Protection
5/5
This case protects all aspects of the phone while still keeping a thin and light profile. The "lip" on the front of the case will definitely help to reduce the impact on the phone if dropped face first.
Final Verdict
5/5
This is probably the best case I've used so far for the Nexus 4. At $12.99 you get a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case gives you maximum protection, looks, and feel while keeping your beloved Nexus 4 protected.
Good Video man....I ordered my case on the 5th so hopefully it will come in tomorrow...and it looks very good...Im using the clear tpu you had in the video now..but once again good video as it should help others who are thinking about buying the case and since watching the vid i know im gonna be very happy when mine arrives.
good review. I just received mine yesterday, and was extremely surprised on the quality of it for being 13 bucks.
I HATE using cases on my phone due to being a minimalist and enjoying the slim design, but this one just fits perfectly! I enjoy the added gloss coating around the lip that goes on the screen..it creates a nice blending effect with the screen.
I've read a few people mention that the power/volume buttons are a little stiff to press, but honestly, they must be weak af, or they got a defective case. The buttons are extremely responsive with the least amount of pressure.
Forgot to mention that the back of the cases doesn't attract ANY fingerprints. That's a big deal for me because I hate cleaning off the back of fingerprint covered cases.
How's the screen protector? Any cons?
Ordered mine couple days ago. Should be getting it tomorrow

Can you test it out with USB cables which use a thicker connector? I hate having to carry the OEM USB cable with me everywhere since that's the only one that fits with my case. I like have USB cables everywhere I go.

Thanks for the review, I was looking as this case for the last two days and I have heard nothing but great things. Just placed my order :laugh:

As of right now, I haven't used any screen protectors. I have used Skinomi on other products and they're great.

I checked the video and you showed all the sides except the bottom where the usb port is. If you post a pic of it, he might be able to judge whether case opening is large enough or not.
Good review though. Still waiting for my n4, but I'm ordering this case so the phone won't be naked after it is unboxed.
Case is well worth it. Just got mine today. Watch the screen protector putting it on though.

First, the case's full name is Acase Superleggera Pro Hybrid dual layer Case for LG Google Nexus 4.
Link on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4I2GJU/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
FOr me, the seller shipped from IN, I dont know if they have any other branch. IAmazon said it would be delivered on Thursday, but I have received it on Wednesday.
I am not good at English, so I will use a lot of images to review this case.:laugh: I also take picture the case with the Nexus 4 adapter, so you can compare the demensions.
The case fit perfectly to the phone.
The case has two layers which are seperated. One is soft and one is hard.
I have a back, front and body wet-protector, and this case haven't peel my protector yet. Hopefully it won't. However, with a soft cover, I dont think it will peel any corner off.
THe back of the hard part is smooth. Hence slippery or not, I think it depends on each person. For me, it's not slippery. But the fact is it's smooth, so it can fall off your hand if you're not careful.
Buttons can be used very easily.
I dont have a Wifi charger in case someone ask me for this.
Last thing, any grammar error?
EDIT and WARNING: Because this case has a ruber layer (it has two layers: the soft ruber one and the hard one), it collects dust very easy, especially when you put it in your jeans' pocket. This is no problem to me, with a fiber or tape, I can easily remove them.
I also confirm again, this case doesn't peel the corner of your screen protector off.
However, with the Ballistic one, it will peel your corner off very easily because the top and bottm of the ballistic aren't fixed. I have borrowed the Ballistic one from a friend and used it for two days, at the end of each day, I had to apply my screen protector again. If you need some images on the Ballistic one, tell me, I will do some for you.
Test.
Image part 3.
Looks like a good alternative to otter box. Thanks for sharing.

I also got this case in white, i absolutely love it except for the fact that it's white, and gets dirty if not taken care of. Other then that, it's awesome. I don't use it now, because i have lens for my phone camera, but when I did use it, i wasn't afraid of dropping it.

Just like Galaxy S III, multiple color options are available now for Nexus 4 too.
Also, found 2 YouTube unboxing/reviews for those interested.
Could anyone compare it to the ballistic case ?
This one looks thinner but still looks strong enough to keep protecting the phone from an average drop . :laugh:

I'm still waiting for the Superleggera to arrive (7-10 days). As soon as I get it I'll update what I find, compared to Ballistic Shell Gel SG.
I tried the Ballistic one from a buddy of mine but I personally did not like it. The build quality is very good with the ballistic and it feels like it's going to protect the phone well. But from day to day usability it's not very practical.
The inside silicone piece of the Ballistic is very soft/loose. It fits the phone well but without the support of the hard shell it tends to come off. That is why some people complain that the top and bottom of this case is not very fitting, since there is no hard shell support there.
The soft silicone with the protruding corners of the case sometimes gets stuck taking in/out of pant pockets.
In the YouTube reviews and the pictures by OP by the look of the Superleggera, the silicone seems stiffer than the Ballistic and the hard shell supports all four sides, hence more form fitting than the Ballistic and should not have any pocket issue.
nice review, looks nicer than the two later one i bough a few months back.

How slippery is this case? I'm assuming the hard case (outer cover) is, but not the inside tpu bit. Is that true? So can I remove the hard case and expose the tpu while setting it on an uneven surface?

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".

Bumper
Wider
Looks better
Less protection
Ringke
Better protection
Lets you create custom designs to insert behind the plastic
horrible protruding creases on the back of the case. - rough to the touch
picks up fingerprints and dust way too easily.
I use bumper for everyday use and if i'm going to be somewhere outside for a long while where i won't have a place to put my phone safely away i use the ringke.

Like all the other wireless charging back cover samsung has on their other phones, no 3rd party manufacturer is going to mold a case for it. There's just no profit for the small population that will buy the wireless back cover.

True, depending on thickness of the wireless receiver. I personally don;t intend to use my phone under water, or leave it in the glass of water next to my bed, and leave it in my pocket when in the loo, so not a big issue for me personally
Seriously though, there is very little chance that case manufacturers will make cases specifically for the S5 that has the standard wireless charging cover on (and if they do, they will be more expensive to compensate for limited demand), so if we want to use our slim fit / rugged cases AND have wireless charging, we may need to do without water / dust proof. If you do get
Or use a normal cover for a daily use. And when you arrive home that's where most of the people have their wireless pads. Switch covers. It's the only idea I think it's rubbish but yes. I agree with the statement above. The manufactures only gonna do cases for the phone that's released . Unless there was something that made the manufacturer's realise they can get a lot of money of. Doing new cases.
another way is to get wireless charging backcover and put a skin on it, but im not sure if it gona look good, because the skin is made for the normal backcover
Or use a bumper

The only way to know for sure is to try. Go to a store and see if it fits. I used a UAG navigator case on my note 3 with wireless cover just fine. On my S4 I used a tech 21 and a Spigen neo hybrid as well.

https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spige...d=1472076672&sr=8-3&keywords=note+7+kickstand
I have the VRS one but I find the bumper too thick so it makes it harder to handle the phone. Feels like I'm on my note 4 again. Trying to see if the Spigen is the same. Also I can't tell if the Spigens kickstand is just taped on the back or if it's actually sitting in a cutout hole on the back of the case.
I ordered one of the spigen kickstand cases but I haven't received it yet, they've been backordered according to there site, mine shipped today, so I'll check how they attached them, and reply with those results when I get my case.
I just got mine today. I think it's pretty thin. As for the kickstand, it's definitely glued on to the hard back and not dropped into a cut out. The stand is fairly flat, about as thick as 1.5 quarters. I don't feel it when holding the phone because my hand is a little bit cupped. The top and bottom of the case is raised a little so the screen doesnt touch the surfacce when laid face down. So far I like the case. For 11.99 shipped, i think its a great deal.
Thank you. That's what i was afraid of. The VRS kick stand is in a cutout so the stand is very low profile. But the bumper is thick. Probably a good 3mm all the way around. That is why im looking at the spigen one.
Here are some pictures of how the case looks like when it's on the phone. I also put a quarter side by side with the kickstand to show the thickness of it and a picture of how it looks when the phone is lying on its back.
Thanks for the pictures! Here is the VRS one.

Thanks but a bit pricey. I think for now I will stick with my VRS. Looks like it's the best option for case with kickstand. Thanks everyone for all your input!

I ended up getting the Ultra hybrid case without the kickstand and adding the kickstand myself. On amazon, you are able to add the kickstand for free if you purchase the spigen case. It made it nice since I had the option where to place the kickstand. The case was 9.99 when i bought it w/prime shipping. The raised bump from the kickstand doesn't cause any issues with me and is actually nice to have when holding the phone I have found.
How do you add it to a 3rd parry case. Does not stick on? Is it removable / moveable?

How did you do that? I prefer to add it myself too so I can put it higher. Don't want it to interfere with my wireless charger.
Update :
So I just add both to cart and when checking out it gave me $9.99 discount. Cool. Thanks for the tip!

No problem. Concerns about wireless charging and my car mount were the reasons I wanted to do it myself as well.

You can at it to a third party case or even the phone directly if you buy it separately on amazon or directly from spigen. It is not movable once mounted though so make sure you know where you want it before sticking it on.

I may mod the case and drill a hole for the kickstand so it will be more flushed. [emoji16]

I got the Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Crystal Hybrid] Metal Kickstand [Metal Slate] Clear TPU / PC Frame Slim Dual Layer Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - 562CS20386
that actually has tje kickstand sitting in a cutout of the tpu back. I didnt want the metal scratching my n7 so I cut a little liner from the original back plastic and covered the kickstand on inside.

Sorry its on my phone with a wet apply screen protector and I'm not moving it, its not pushing up my case atm. But if you hit up spigens site or amazon.ca you can see it ... the kickstand is the thickest part.
I can't post links yet.
Also I must say the black case on silver looks awesome. The floating effect is nice plus I allready had black magnetic plates for my car mount and they match the case .

Got the spigen and separate kickstand but I did not like the spigen case as the sides tapered into a point at the center. See attached image. So this makes it a bit weird to hold since it isn't flat or rounded off.
So I ended up buying the ringke fusion. Much better case. And I have cut a hole in it for the spigen kickstand. Having the kickstand at the center is much better. I can tap on the top left or right corners and does not tip over. Unlike the VRS with the kickstand on the bottom. My mod is more flushed so it doesn't interfere with the fast wireless charger.
Here's a close up of the ringke. No sharp edge.
Here is my mod which I need to redo as my dremmel slipped and scratched the case.
