Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)
Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.
And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?
Thanks
the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.

Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.
Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?
Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.

What was the color of the other slim case? Mines black, the Grey one looked very appealing to me.

Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.
Ringke All the Way!!!
I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.
Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.
Edit:
I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.

I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from [email protected] but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.
Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.
Diztronic hardcase ftw

When you say protection - Diztronic , do you mean - the Ringke doesnt protect the phone as Diztronic does??

Well the Ringke will just protect from scratches. The Diztronic is TPU so it will protect from small drops.

I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.
This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.
I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.
I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.

Same. The rearth is junk IMO. I was disappointed since I love the slim on my gnex but it just feels like they cut a lot of corners on the N4 version.

Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.
Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the popular Rearth Ringke Slim case for the Nexus 4. As most of you know by know, this is an ultra thin snap back case. The port and cutouts line up perfectly and it remains the slimmest Nexus 4 I've seen personally. This is by far my favorite of the snap back cases on the market, simply because it is so thin. Unfortunately, this also means it provides the least protection of the bunch. If you're looking for a thin and stylish snap back case, this is one to check out!

I just ordered mine last night... The minute my Nexus walked in the door. Along with the Bugdroid case (I couldn't resist!). Looking forward to getting a case on it.

Hey guys. Had a question..what's your opinion on Spigen's Nexus 4 slim case? Anyone have it? Any ideas on the quality, build etc? (Canadian here, ordered it already, have to wait 10+ business days).
Are you referring to this case? http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/google/nexus-4/google-nexus-4-case-ultra-thin-air-series.html < looks sexy
If so, I am thinking about buying it too, or https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-hybrid-fusion-case ...

I just got one, its very lightweight and thin, it's quite flexible and as such comes off quite easily. I don't think I will be using it for much longer.
Think they need to make a bumper like the neo hybrid or similar..

I have all three of these stupid cases. The Spigen, the Nilikin and the Rearth. The best is the Rearth, Spigen second and Nilikin is the worst.
Just got the official google bumper and am wondering why I wasted my money anywhere else.

I dropped my phone. The case did what it's designed for.
Saved my N4 already one time.
Has anyone pre ordered the UAG case for the S4? I had it on my S3 and it was by far the best case out there. I'm thinking of getting the one for the S4. It's a bit pricey though at 35.

They are great cases, but the price will drop fast and quick. It did for the S3 anyway.
I'm already on record saying UAG availability will decide my next phone for me. They are great cases.

I have one ordered from Amazon that is supposed to be in on the 15th. No matter what card I use on the UAG website it wont take it, I get this:
Error from gateway:
This transaction cannot be accepted
Bummer, anyway I just emailed them about it.
Does anyone know what kind of material is on the top and bottom. It looks rubbery. I really want this case but not if its going to get stuck in my pocket.

It was rubber on the S3. Not Silicone, more like a hard rubber, that does have a little give. It doesn't get very linty.
Anyone that have used both UAG and the Otterbox Commuter cases, can you comment on how UAG compares? I would definitely love only one piece for a case vs 2 if I can get the same or better protection.
I am planning to get s4 when Frys gets 32GB ..... and I love the look of this case. Is there anything else out there similar to the UAG (just for comparison)? Thanks!

Dunno, the protection is good and this one is really slim maybe spigen slim armor is good to but i dont like the lip of it
I ordered last week from imarine.com / pretty good customer service they told me it would ship on the 20th (today) and that I should have it by the end of the week. I ordered the slate blue (30 w/shipping) / the phone sb here wednesday / in the mean time I have a rearth just to protect the back
found it cheaper on www(dot)imarineusa(dot)com/urbanarmorgearoutlandcaseforsamsunggalaxys4rustblack(dot)aspx
is this fake????
I am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Cruzerlite until my UAG comes in.

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!
