Neoprene sleeve for N4?

Does anyone know of any neoprene sleeves (or it could be neoprone sleeves, idk) for the N4 kinda like the Nexus One came with?? That was by far one of the best accessories and doesn't take away from the sexiness of the phone while still protecting on the go!

Is that what you're looking for? The HTC One X and the Nexus 4 are almost identical in dimensions, so this should fit perfectly.

nice ill check it out! thanks
edit: just bought it, should come with perfect timing to the phone's release! cant wait!
the only thing i worry about is the material, if it will scratch the glass on the phone! i hope not...

The whole point of that case is to protect the screen, I doubt it will scratch the glass unless you have sand inside it :laugh:

I feel you. lol I get paranoid with my devices.

hey thanks! i've just ordered 2 of these neoprene sleeves.
i also remembered the neoprene sleeve from the N1 and really liked it, hope this will be the same again .
i'll post a quick answer when i got the sleeve and the phone to tell you if they fit it.

I don't like the neoprene sleeves. I have one for my GNex, and it slides in and out way too easily. I much prefer the LEATHER sleeves that came with the G1's.
Also, they have neoprene sleeve for sale one eBay that are advertised for the N4. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Well I think I'll have to run my nexus 4 without protector for a few.days till I can decide on one.

Could you post a link for the Nexus 4 sleeves? I doubt it makes a difference between the One X sleeves, but I just want to get a look at them.

Yeah i just bought the one x version, I feel it will fit the best

Where I ordered mine from. I used this on the S2 albeit the smaller version & it kept my screen completely scratch free. Not one scratch on the screen before I sold it last week.

So is anyone using a neoprene sleeve for their nexus 4?
Was wondering if this is a good buy. I had the original neoprene for the Nexus One and it protected my baby so well there wasn't one scratch on it.
I'd like the same one for N4

Any pics?

I got this (the one x version) and it fits really snug...its kinda hard to pull it out smoothly but once the case starts breaking in it gets easier! However i ordered a mofi which should be here soon because the sleeve is too snug for me

Google Nexus 4 Bumper Case Hands on

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvuFn_fbUBo

very sexy!

Well, that makes my Amazon Wishlist of Nexus 4 cases obsolete. Need to get this one!

looks very nice, but its too expensive for me at the moment!
(UK) £15.99 + £5.99 shipping!!! how on earth can they charge that much to ship it?

It does look nice. Still waiting for the phones to come back into stock and hen I will buy one...

I ordered a bumper on the 17th, got given a delivery estimate of the 19th (didn't expect it to arrive on the Monday) Hoped it would turn up Yesterday or today but on checking the status it had moved to 'Pending' on the Play Store Gave Google a ring and the guy I spoke to reckons they are sold out and on backorder, despite showing as 'In Stock' on the Play Store (UK)

Bumper is def worth the wait! Sexy piece that def helps enhance the protection of the phone too!

looking forward to picking one up.

Cool video, can't wait for mine to arrive!

Does anyone know where I can pick one up besides Google play they're sold out

I'm 70% sure I'll definately be buying one!

Despite ordering one of those Chinese cheap cases on Ebay, I still want one of these.

I would have laughed if he broke the black glass when throwing it around. They do look good, hope the phone sells enough for us to get a choice of bumpers like iPhone users get
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2

I have one of the bumpers on my phone. I love it, even though I hate cases with a passion. It is very premium, the plastic feels more like rubber and the buttons feel like they are a part of the phone instead of feeling like they are a part of the bumper. I would highly recommend one. It makes the phone a tic (mm) wider but it makes it balance better in the hand. I pulled it off and just holding it without the bumper felt sketchy. There was no texture w/o the bumper on the phone and the balance is different.

Is there anyone else making bumpers for the Nexus 4?

How much does affects the "swiping" feature of the glass?

Does the bumper provide good protection?

Ringke slim case mod

So yeah it doesn't look perfect but I did it as more of a proof of concept. I wanted a slim mostly-protective case but still wanted to see some of the nexus back.
It could be smoother and my knife slipped on the right edge so if you have a dremel, it may be easier. I still need to sand it a bit better too.
What do you think?

That's some seriously ghetto mod... xD

I'm going to be brutally honest, that's hideous

It's unique...I'll give you that

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Wow lol thats super ghetto.

you're probably better off buying a dbrand skin and slapping it on the back of the case if you want the nexus logo.

It's not that bad actually but you could have bought a transparent case?
+1 for the dbrand skin suggestion

This looks disgusting, and if ringke ever sold this on their website, I bet no one would buy it.

No good cases/bumpers for the nexus 4

Im amazed that after so many months, there is not ONE single good quality and fully functional bumper or case for the Nexus 4, aside from the official one... I've searched this entire forum, all trought youtube, ebay, amazon, google, haven't found one thats worth buying... everything is ugly as hell, or damages the signal, etc, i am very dissapointed that manufacturers dont make quality stuff for this phone...
Maybe I just haven't searched well, if u guys know any bumper or case hat is REALLY high quality, premium, nice design, nice materials, please post, would be very appreciated
Kind Regards.

You're correct. I don't even use a car or bumper because of the lack of great cases. I've bought many and all sucked.

There's plenty of good cases for this phone... Just depends what kind you want and how much you want to spend.

I have an OEM bumper, it's cheap and it works good, hasn't fallen apart or anything. Only complaint is that dust accumulates quickly underneath.
I also have a Nilkin Leather Flip Case, it works perfect, I have no complaints with it whatsoever.

It's because there's not enough carriers that have the phone. The Galaxy Nexus was on Sprint and Verizon. It had more cases.

OEM bumper is awesome. I've never been happier with the style and look of a phone till my nexus 5

OEM bumper, made by LG is good. some peeps here complaining about breaking because they treat it like they stole it and careless. trust me. Mine has no problem 5 month. i am very careful. look at the bumper. it's a thin plastic material not like titanium built tough. common sense peeps.

But yes, my bumper is still holding up fine, nobody is asking you to twist the bumper or dismantle the bumper.

I didn't treat it carelessly and it broke within four months. It'll eventually happen. Just wait for it. It happens without dropping it and just from natural day to day use.
The bumper is great though, the feel of the buttons are great but at the same time, it does make the phone slightly bulkier.
Using the poetic bumper and I like it. The buttons aren't as good but it isn't as bulky either.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

i've gone caseless for months because of this issue. been hoping UAG would make one. but honestly really surprised as a nexus product, it has no great cases or high name companies making cases for it.

There are a few good cases (acase superleggera, myriad of tpu cases, boxwave resolute, etc.) and I like the poetic bumper even if it doesn't last long they don't seem to have any problems replacing it.
The sales aren't there for the bigger case manf. to jump on the wagon.

Uh, wrong. You've got it backwards bro.
OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer.. Hence, LG.

Yep, me too, very happy with it. Nice balance between protection and looks plus as a bumper it gives you something to grab in an attempt to avoid the dreaded finger-smudge-look that you can easily get with the Nexus 4. Fantastic phone but glass front & back? Design over common sense there...

Sure.
Some people's bumpers don't break because they're disgusting people and never clean their phone.
Mine broke on the USB port. Never dropped or abused.
Take yours off and clean your filthy phone once in a while, it'll break for sure.

Google 6p carbon or quartz case

https://store.google.com/product/adopted_case_n6p
looks good.. but for that high of a price for a case, i'm hesitant, because the only cases i've ever bought were for the nexus 7 (both versions) and those either cracked or broke apart with normal wear.

Yeah, it is a touch expensive. I bought the revised official bumper case for my Nexus 5, and it's still in fantastic condition. It was $35 on Google's old store, as well. I got the version with the fatter, actually usable buttons.
I do also have quite a love for Tech21 cases, but I got the one for the Nexus 5 used, so the clear plastic is unfortunately scratched up.

i love the clear plastic look... but i find a lot of them start turning yellowish, did you have that problem?

I'd like to get this case for my black 6P but $35 is s joke, a case shouldn't cost 7% of the price of the device. The case reminds me of the cool Nexus graphics they had on the Galaxy Nexus and the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.
I don't suppose we'll be lucky enough for it to hit Amazon or eBay for less. Maybe there will be China copies soon!

Cheaper than getting Nexus Protect ^.^

I bought one of each. I like the felt like back of the official one and I also bought the adoption one

Still waiting for a wallet case. Need something to hold ID and CCs since I've done away with my wallet.

Well UAG cases are usually $40 plus if you don't like it Google is really good about returns so that's why I bit the bullet and bought 2 of their cases. I still have others coming from Verus, and some other no name TPU cases. I want to protect the sexy phone in style because it looks really nice with the microfiber or whatever on the back

I just ordered myself an adopted clear one too because the other one I bought is for my wife. I think I'm good now on cases after getting 8 of them.

I didn't have any issues with it turning yellow. It was actually a hard plastic case, hence the scratches. Apparently toothpaste can buff out scratches, but everyone forgets to mention that you shouldn't use the gel kind, or any toothpaste with flavoring. Who even has plain paste-style toothpaste?

I got the carbon one ...

I ordered the Carbon with the phone. Its expensive, but looks great. Cant wait to have it and the phone together in my hands

I got the carbon for my aluminum 6p

Ordered the Quartz to go with the Frost phone.

If they could take this case and make it a wireless charging case instead. that would be awesome.

You guys made me but this case. Hit the quartz

I got the carbon one for my graphite 6p

It's the felt or microfiber whatever it is one. I really like the way it looked I usually don't spend that much on a case though
