Hey guys. After doing some research on some cases, it's come down to these two. Could people share their experiences with either one of these cases?
Also, evidently the thickness of the UAG is 12.3mm. Could an Obliq owner post the exact thickness of their case?
I also heard somewhere that the UAG polyurethane is a little saggy on the bottom. Any confirmation on this?
Thanks!

Mines not saggy at all, if anything its too stiff.

I've been trying to look for an image putting the case and the phone side by side; a level pic so you could compare thicknesses to the phone.
Could you or any owner of a UAG/Obliq Xtreme do this? Thanks for any help

Yes the Seidio cases will have kick stands apparently. Unfortunately for me, I love their phone cases without.

Thanks for your reply, I was wondering if there's anything already out, I know most phones have some cheap plastic stand cases and was wondering if they're available at least

Nothing yet in my searches recently. And Seidio IMO is the best kickstand available. But I would also want an option for a Surface or Active case without the kickstand. I have a tablet to view stuff. I have the Seidio Active case for my Senny and I use that case for travelling so it works out on flights, but other than that, I find no use in the kickstand.

Just an FYI; they usually produce a case right after their kickstand case without the kickstand. they did this for the GNex and I'm willing to bet they'll do this for the N4.

I hope you're right. Thanks for the info. I was starting to look elsewhere because I dislike the kick stand.
P.S. My only other wish is that we have the option of a non holster style cover. It makes it to bulky in a handbag & a lot of us girls have no use for the holster.
The Poetic case doesn't exactly have a "kickstand" but it will allow the same functionality.. semi-wallet too

Hey i was thinking as no bumpers are available
can we make a bumper out of tpu case by cutting it?
don't want to hide that awesome sparkly effect of nexus 4
what say any tried that out
Tried it and it works to a point but unless you cut it precisely or with a machine it won't come out right I used one of the clear S line series and had a lot of miscuts o well

If you're considering a TPU bumper, then might as well get a Poetic Bumper, as that is what it is. Their Poetic Atmosphere is a clear TPU with "bumper" material in the right places, as another option.
Did it as well, the sides are a bit too lose if you want a true bumper. Cut it more like a poetic and it may be fine but I regret doing it for what it matters.

so you guys say that it is better to have more thick and cut less so the tpu material can withstand the forces?
Has a s-line case. Got a second free from poetic. I made it into a bumper. It looks horrible .... Would not recommend unless you have an extra FREE case lying around.

By looking up and down he meant "I checked the first two posts and they didn't say Cruzerlite"....
I like my Cruzerlite cases but they are really really slippery. I don't use them since I know I would drop my phone.

Funny, I have the XDA case and it doesn't feel that slippery. The Diztronic TPU however, is one slippery bugger! LOL

Are the sides matte or glossy? The ones I have at matte on the side and it just doesn't have any friction against skin. The iBlason case I have is matte on the back and glossy on the sides. The sides are pretty sticky and it feels incredibly secure in hand.

Matte on the XDA case. Well I can see it be really slick on a cold brisk day, maybe that could be the cause of slippage? LOL
Does anyone know of some good bumper cases? Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Also looking for a great bumper case that doesn't add much bulk. Don't need it to protect the phone from any drops, just want to place it on a surface without having to worry about anything.
The Photive one looks alright, but some of the reviews said it added lots of bulk to it. The others on Amazon that I see all have reviews saying they fall apart though, so I don't know what to do on this one...
Check out Marware Bumper Case on Amazon. I have one and I love it!

That case looks awesome, but in the end I wanted a true bumper, one without the back cover. I ended up finding (and purchasing) one from Cruzerlite. Somehow I forgot to look there even though I've ended up using one of their cases for every previous Android phone I've owned.
Here's the link for anyone interested. I'm actually gonna try sanding off the logo that's sticking out if I can, as I like things to be as clean as possible.

Found this awesome case for a expensive price... Does anyone saw some similar cases cheaper? For me the best about this case is the very slim design.

I do not know of any with similar design, but I can vouch for the seidio, I bought the active model, with the silicon and abs layers (on the phone right now) and it was well worth the money, I have dropped it on concrete and tarmac from shoulder height and while moving and the phone is still pristine. It is the slimmest rugged case out there. So if that is anything to go by then this case should be good and worth the money also

Thank you captaindyson for the info about the case.
I have the seidio surface and love it. best case I've had
