Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753
Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.
I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

Hrm, had a Seidio holster back in the Blackberry days, solid products. Didn't realize their cases were also now among the thinnest.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...
Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).
If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.
To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

Hey guys,
I just wanted to give a short review of a case I'm using, because I absolutely love it. It's the Exact Armor Case.
I bought it a week and a half ago, at the time it was only $3.95, at the time of me writing this it is $7.95 on Amazon. It's VERY similar to the Ionic Guardian Armor Case. There was some concern because I believe that on Amazon this case in the pictures doesn't show a cut out on the back for the speaker, but it does indeed have one.
It feels really good in the hand. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the dots on the back, but they ended up not being bad, and really make it so the phone doesn't slide out of your hand/off a table when you are holding it/sitting it down. I also have an i-Blason TPU case and I liked it but wanted something with a little bit more protection. I love the rubbery cover on the buttons on the Exact case, it makes it incredibly easy to push those buttons, which were more difficult to push on the i-Blason case in my opinion.
It feels really good and sturdy in the hand, and I love the way it feels. It doesn't add any more then the i-Blason case does when you're holding it in my opinion, except for on the corners, but you don't really notice those when holding it. All of the ports (mini USB and headphones) are accessible, however when I tried to plug a headphone jack from my car in it was a little too big and didn't fit in the hole cut in the case, but using a pair of headphones fits just fine.
I'm usually rough on phones, and so I wanted to get a sturdy case until hopefully an Otterbox comes out, which I will then buy and see if I like it more then this case. I HAVE dropped my phone twice over the past 72 hours or so using the case, and there was no damage to the phone. Once was getting out of my car and the phone fell onto gravel, and the second was just when I was pulling it out of my pocket I dropped it. (Yes, I'm clumsy, and I need to try harder to keep it safe.) There is no damage at all to the phone.
The front of the case does slide over the front, so you can sit the phone screen down and it doesn't touch whatever is underneath it. There is a small lip there, but so far it hasn't deterred me in anyway touching the screen/typing/swyping.
Please feel free to ask any questions, I'll be more then happy to answer. And before anyone asks, I just put on a Xtremeguard Screen Protector on literally 5 minutes before I took the pictures, so if the screen looks weird that's why, as it has to dry out and such.
If anyone asks, I can also talk about the i-Blason case a little.
I can't post links to the cases above because I don't have 10 posts yet :/ Just search on Amazon, you'll find them all, and after I post 10 times I'll come back and add the links in.

Nobody knows for sure but like most of the stuff in production you can probably expect it will be released before the end of January.
I think chances are you will get this one and then decided (unless you some how destroy it) that you don't want to shell out for an Otterbox.

I would really like to get this case but the shipping to Canada kills the deal. $13 is more than the case itself. Anyone know if someplace else sells this case? EBay has nothing.

Only there's no Otterbox case in production for the Nexus 4. Alas.
I got this case when it was $3.95 as well, great deal.
My TPU case was causing problems with my Skinomi screen protector but no problems with this case.
I currently have this case on... It sometimes lifts my xo skin screen protector so I have to push the screen protector down. For those who need even more protection there is a case on ebay called the Rugged Hybrid case, for 10-12 buck. The case is a beast but I'm waiting for someone to review on it before I purchase one.

Is the lift because of the slight inward flex around the edges that one gets when gripping the phone? or is it always in contact with the XO?

It's because of the inward flex around the edges when I grip it. It does seem like the case is always in contact with it, but doesn't pull up the protector unless I grip it tight or push on it.

Just received my case earlier today and I have to say it may be my favorite. I own the iBlason in black, Diztronic TPU in black as well as the Cruzerlite Androidified in white. The price vs. protection offered is astounding. I have to say it is very much comparable to my parents Ballistic Shell Gel Series case they both have on their Galaxy S III. The material isn't quite as "nice" as the Ballistic but for a $7 case, comparing it to a $30 from Ballistic or $15 on Amazon, it is certainly a no brainer.

Anyone want to comment on whether the case grips your pocket? That's the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this over the diztronic you case.

Mine is fairly easy to pull out of my pocket. I don't wear super tight pants, but if I did it might be a problem. The rubbery part on the case is a lint magnet when you put it in your pocket but it isn't bad putting in or pulling out.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but I noticed that Incipio is now selling the feather 'Ultra Thin Snap-On Case' for the Nexus 4: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...s-4-cases/lg-google-nexus-4-feather-case.html
I think they are too late to the game, if you ask me. There are too many case manufacturers offering the same hard shell snap on cases, and they all look the same. The only possible benefit of the feather case is that comes in more vibrant colours. However, at a price of $24.99, I can't see why someone would purchase this over the $9.99 Ringke Slim...
I also found a video review in case any of you are interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gThV8Ie6Rc
I went with the poetic slim case from amazon. It was cheaper than the Ringke Slim and has a little coverage on the top and bottom (unlike the Ringke and the Incipio).
$25 is too much imo
Is Incipio a good brand?

For way cheaper you can get a better looking case from Poetic. Poetic Palette. http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-Premium-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00ANGOICC

I do and works great for me.
When I first got my phone, the first case I checked out was the Incipio feather. Saw it online and said to myself, "like hey that one looks good". I wanted to see it in person first so I found it at a Fido store. I tried it on my phone but didn't like it. The sides didn't come up all the way on the phone if I remember correctly. Some slim cases have a bit of a lip on side of the phones incase you want to rest it front face down and I found the top and bottom too open. Then again all slim cases generally look the same anyways. Ended up get the Rearth Ringke fusion but I found that kinda bulky a bit. I got the first batch when it came out and those had problems with the buttons being to hard to press. Using the OEM LG bumper now.

OEM LG Bumper does crack on the USB port.. happened to me without ever dropping the phone / case.
For the Rearth case, simply use a knife and do the cut outs. Mines is the first version and the buttons feel great. Google on the cut outs. It was posted on reddit and its somewhere on XDA (probably main Fusion thread)

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.

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?

Hey guys,
I'm considering buying a TPU case for my N4. Which ones do you recommend and why? I'm also especially interested in how much width they add. The OEM bumper case makes the phone too big for my hands.

I said that too when I first got my bumper and then tried it a second time and resold it again. Won a white OEM one and hasn't come off yet.
I suggest the Ringke Fusion, but you may not like fingerprints on the back of that. Also cruzerlite has some nice cases as well. Also Diztronic tpu cases are nice if you are looking for a plain jane tpu.
The Diztronic case is great. It barely adds any thickness to the phone. While not TPU, I'm also digging the Body Glove case. Laterally, it doesn't add much thickness, but it's a little beefier on the back which might be a good thing with the glass and all. Both cases have raised edges which allows you to put the phone face-down if that's ever a concern.
I have the Diztronic TPU on mine and my girls. She has dropped it numerous times and not a scratch on it.
Mercury 6$ case, it's nice as I have one for a note 2. The note 2 is more snug versus this one however, this one has lips on the sides to protect the screen.

You must've had bad luck with it then.. the cutouts on mine are perfect. What I do dislike though are the buttons, which are a bit hard to press and feel mushy.
I still haven't seen a case that I like 100%. Every single one makes it either look a lot cheaper, adds too much bulk or doesn't offer enough protection. But.. well, nothing you can really do, I guess
I have the official bumper, rinke fusion, poetic borderline. I can say using Ringke fusion brings the feeling of a solid phone. Using the official bumper adds a width for the phone. In the poetic borderline i didn't feel any bulk at all. That's my experience about those cases. I consider the back design in choosing a case cause i wanna let others can see the beauty of N4.

Mine arrived this afternoon and I love it. Can't wait for my skin for the back to arrive so it can feel safe and look sexy.
Official Bumper, Diztronic, a two part mesh case, etc and my FAVORITE is the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case in Smoke. You can see Nexus through the back of the case, not much width added at all and with the Bugdroid pattern carved into the back it offers much needed slip out of the hand protection. Cut outs are perfect also.
I've only tried the diztronic and I highly recommend it. Doesn't look like anything special or nice but in terms of protection it works. I've dropped my phone many times with it on and no scratches or dents or anything. Also the cutouts on mine are perfect.. There is a whole thread on it here I believe. I do wish the beautiful back wasn't covered though.. ringke fusion might be better in that sense.
I've gone through a few cases and settled on this one. My fave case so far, offers great protection and fits over the iloome tempered glass screen protector, unlike the Ringke Fusion.
