The UAG and Candyshell alternative for the N4 - Nexus 4 Accessories

I recently got a N4 and immediately looked for a UAG or Speck Candyshell case for it. Unfortunately for me neither case is available for the N4. I was close to getting a Diztronic TPU case, then I saw someone with the Body Glove Nova case. I really like 1-piece hybrid (tpu + hard plastic) style cases like the Candyshell and UAG, so I was super excited when I discovered this case. These cases protect the edges of the phone with TPU and hard plastic (all 4 edges on the Candyshell, 2 sides edges on the UAG). It's not as good looking as the Candyshell and UAG, but it meets my needs just fine. Its available in: white/grey, white/pink, and black/grey. I got a refurbished one (looks brand new, but no packaging) from Amazon for $1.99 + $4.49 shipping. T-Mobile sells it for $35.

I had a Belkin 1-piece hybrid on my old S3 (in addition to a Candyshell)

I wish UAG or Magpul made cases for the N4 They look sick!

Sure looks Neat!
On side note: how are you liking your new n4 vs gs4? I will be a newb to g4 in a couple days lol

each phone has pros and cons. I'll stick with the G4 mainly because of the screen (larger and higher resolution/pixel density). I'm going to give the N4 to my wife to replace her S3.

Poetic Palette SLIM premium hard case

Poetic may become my favorite accessory maker. They are making sooo many products for our phone. I really like the look of this hard case too. The biggest thing for me is how it covers all the corners where most slim cases only cover the sides.

looks exactly like the Rearth SLIM... plus it uses the name "SLIM"
$5 for a case is quite a steal.
I completely agree, except that it covers all 4 edges. For 5, ill take a gamble on it.

It leaves the top and botton exposed, no?
This looks like a really nice case though, and seeing how much I'm loving the bumper case, I'll order one of these.

oh... when he defined edge, i thought he meant the corners
this case doesnt necessarily cover the WHOLE edge, it covers more than the rearth one but not all.. cut out for usb is bigger
aww..wouldve jumped on this if its not because it doesnt cover the bezels...
anyways, having a diztronic & soon to arrive poetic-bumper is enough for me.
unless something really cool comes out, Im a happy camper...for now...
hopefully...
what? $5?...man thats cheap..
must....resist...
i have to say i got one of these cases for 5 bucks and its pretty great. now its a 4.50.. no brainer on amazon for that price.
I have one of these and used it prior to my Ringke Fusion case.
It got thrown from the car once in the SLIM case and it did its job well, protected the phone.

God, att always gets the ugliest cases for their phones that are marked way up. 40 for an incipio case that looks like garbage? No thanks. If they partnered with uag or siedio they'd sell so much more.
coming from the og one x
Not impressed by any of those and they're probably ridiculously expensive. Thankfully I have a cheap TPU case coming in the mail to hold me over until I get my Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Sprint S4 here. I felt like putting my two cents in. Save your money and get a better case for your $40. Yikes
Those are not anything I would get but hopefully they will have the S-View cover which is something I am interested in.
Check out iskins case! looks soo much better than these! just ordered my self one!! i think they have made the best case so far

i'm waiting for the Incipio Frequency in black. i've seen some of the cheaper TPU cases by Diztronic and Boxwave, but they all have glossy parts even on their Matte TPU cases (High Gloss TPU Frames the Display). i want full Matte. no gloss anywhere. unfortunately, ZooGue won't have theirs out anytime soon. at 10 bucks, they're what i really want but will have to settle for a $25 Incipio sometime next week.
Posted more cases that we received today in OP.

Urban Armour Gear Case for Galaxy S5

UAG has released there cases for the Galaxy S5, there cases are designed to be very protective while maintaining a slim profile. The UAG cases were considered to be the best cases released for the S4/S3/Note3 as they provided as much drop protection as an Otterbox Commuter while being thinner and lighter.

This is what I plan on getting. I have a couple of friends that have them for the Note 3 and S4 and they absolutely love them. They don't really add much bulk to the phones.
Anyone else with this case? Does it add a lot of bulk? What about the grip, it improves? Does it make the phone comfortable to hold? I heard reports of cases like the neo hybrid making the phone to large and a bit uncomfortable.
Im considering getting this in ice/clear version and i didn't really liked this style of cases before but they are starting to grow on me and seem to offer protection. After shipping it comes up to 32$, which is a bit to much for what i want to pay for a case but if offers good protection i might get it.
I've been using UAG cases for a couple of years, and can honestly say that it is my favorite case. My daily carry on my S5 is a black UAG with a Samsung extended battery (3500 mAh) and a modified back (area around the battery cut out so the larger battery will fit in the UAG). The only downside to this set up is that I lost the water resistance of the S5 because of the modified back.
For mine from Amazon for $20 shipped.
Does it add a lot of bulk to the phone? A lot of these more protective cases seem to add quite a bit of bulk to the phone but this one from the pictures doesn't seem like it, but those photos can "lie" sometimes. Do you happen to use your with a glass screen protector? I ordered a glass screen protector and i need a case that will fit with it.
The ice and a few other colors are on amazon now for 20$, others are at 30$. The "problem" for me is the shipping that ends up at more than half the price of the case on amazon and the only reason im going with amazon is because i have a gift card balance there to spend.
Does not add much bulk. I am using mine with a glass screen protector and it works out perfectly.
Thanks!
I think im going to get this. I was set on a slim case (ringke slim case) but those don't add much protection and this one seems to be great and i don't hate how it looks and it seems to be great in terms of shockproof

Best Cheap case![Air Mesh]Caseology Dual Layer Armor Case

the Quality is amazing, you can compare it with those 30-40$ case, I highly recommend this case!

Cool! It's close to my Spigen Neo Hybrid but it costs a third of. Now I'm looking for an economic thinner case. I've seen a lot of tpu cases but the only thing I really want is an edge that protect camera glass.:good::good:
Wife has the purple one on her S5. She loves it and the price was spot on :good: I'm a case whore so I think I'm going to try the gold mesh one for mine, currently using a Spigen.
just bought one of these myself. got the android green one with the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector. Hope it fits with the case, guess we'll find out!
thanks for the find!

Tablets have been utilizing the tech for awhile now, I think it'll be okay unless you have a floppy disk reader or platter-based hard disk in there!
just got the case today. fits really well. the only thing i dont like is the sides seem a little sharp. im sure that will wear down in time. also i recommend the iCarez 9H Tempered Glass screen protector for this phone.
just ordered this. same color as OP. yay for free shipping
I have the case, its nice and good protection also very well priced. But for me this case adds way too much bulk onto the phone, I've made the brave choice to be caseless

best case for someone clumsy or kids?

i'm selling my 11 yo son's iphone 6 because it's about to drop in value with the iphone 7 about to be announced. i got him a g4 to replace it, and because android > iOS (duh). he currently has an otterbox defender case on his iphone, but when I was looking yesterday it doesn't look like this case exists for the g4. please correct me if i'm mistaken. anyone have any alternate recommendations?
Tudia makes a case for the Moto g4, they are usually very good cases, I don't have one but have had them in other phones and they where very good, I have seen them on Amazon.

Any hybrid case will do, like this Slim Hybrid Armor Shockproof Rubber Case (Pictured below) you'll find on ebay (US $5.49) or Amazon (US $5.99). Rubber soften the blow, hard plastic protect against hard object impact. Raised lips helps when falling screen side down. Along with a tempered glass screen protector to absorbed screen impact. Just remember to immediately replace this once cracked, otherwise it will not be able to protect the phone afterward.
I bought the one below for my son, a tiny bit more expensive at $7.98. But its of his own choosing.
Otterbox Defender Type case for the G4
I brought this one only con is the built in screen protector that I removed since I have a glass one on the phone itself. Provides excellent protection since my toddler loves to watch movies on my phone.

I actually use this combination:
Case: amazon.co.uk/Moto-KAPAVER-Tough-Rugged-Cover/dp/B01H22HBYQ
Screen Protector: amazon.co.uk/Protector-PULESENĀ®-Generation-Anti-Bubble-G4/dp/B01G8G9P1E
I'm quiet satisfied with them.
Incipio makes a DualPro case for the G4, but it's twice the price of other generic case. I have the Ringke Fusion case on my G4.
Too bad that none of those are available online in India
