Nexus 5 camera outer lenses is also made by gorilla glass? Or does it scratch resistance?
As you can see the camera area is a bit sticking out and making it the first to contact on any surface you put your nexus down..

two+ months, no protection at all, not a single scratch. and im a phone abuser
Great.. Because there isn't any spec of saying it's scratch resistance..

I would just buy an underwater camera? The pressure itself would break things in your Nexus.

your best bet if you want your phone with you is to buy a waterproof pouch like this one. Its not going to be very useful though since it will blur the camera, kill your touchscreen sensitivity and speakers. i guess it's still good to have your phone close to you for an emergency.
Thank you. :thumbup: what you mean when blur camera? Poor image quality when phone in this case?

yes the pouch is not fully transparent, its going to make your shots blurry. There are some cases for the iphone that are waterproof and with clear plastic so you can take pics but there's nothing like that for the N4. If you want to use it for pictures just get a waterproof camera, they are relatively cheap now and will take much better pics underwater than any phone with waterproof case.
edit : the only thing you can get that is made to fit the nexus 4 is this case(more of a plastic bag). It's a plastic bag with a hole in the back that you put your phone through and then stick a piece of plastic tape over it. Its not reusable and i wouldnt trust it to have it submerge in water.
Yeah I would recommend just getting an underwater camera, even a cheap disposable one over trying to use your phone.
The heavy duty plastic pouches work, but the touchscreen is not going to register very good through the plastic screen, especially with all the water around it interfering with the capacitive sensors, and the pouch itself will cause distortions and reflections on the captured pictures. So even if it did work the images would probably not be very clear.
Now I would recommend one of these pouches just to protect your phone from the sand/salt water. They would be fine to protect your phone while snorkeling and the pressures seen at that minimal depth would not harm the phone at all. Now if you tried to go scuba diving with just a pouch then you will most likely be buying a new phone. At those pressures water will find a way in and in extreme cases the pressure could cause some physical damage.
From personal experience a ziplock bag does NOT work very well even to just protect from getting splashed. They just are not durable enough to stand up to being in your pocket all day and staying closed/sealed.
Topic reminds me of one of the company's at CES this year, HZO protection or whatever. Hopefully the technology becomes standard for phones in the future.

You would love have more luck with the Sony xperia Z or the water proof Motorola.

Even with that protective coating Motorola advertises I would be concerned about salt water. That stuff is very corrosive and once the salt starts to crystallize I would worry that the coating could be compromised. Basically electronics and water, especially salt water, do not mix. I would think that if this coating was effective dive computers and lights would be using this instead of the heavy rubber gaskets and silicon grease that always seem to fail.
Motorola even just calls this "Splash protection"
invisible nano-coating splash protection inside and out
AW: Underwater case for nexus 4
I ordered this for my S2 and the N4 fits in too.

here is what i found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KRUSELL-S..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item2c6b03b01e
Ok, i have purcrased the Salabox 3xl and the ipega.
the salabox fit well but there is some issue to push the power button. I use ipega with iphone 4 4s and 5. I made with it different videos. Search for "pinna marchera" on youtube. The s3 version fit very very very well on nexus 4 but i can't push the power button to out of the standby. Does somebody have any ideas? sorry for my english, i'm an italian boy.
now my nexus 4 back cover is broken , i saw 2 covers replacement.

I wish somebody would just make a plastic back cover. It would be much more durable.

I agree that you should spend the extra $30 and get a complete unit but to answer your question the first one is the back cover and the second one looks to be just the glass that would sit inside the frame.

Yeah I'm surprised this hasn't come about, though I assume it's because of the complexity inherent in swapping the back.
Am I the only one here who doesn't like Flip cases for S4?

Sometimes I take my phone out of pocket and I am then unable to take call because screen is unresponsive due to sweat in my thigh wetting the screen a bit. Flip covers might be use full then.

lol you must be a hell of sweater!
i'm currently using the s view cover, pretty inconvenient in a lot of ways. the only pro i see is it protects the glass and camera lens, and imo looks classy. the cons are way too much to list.
Currently using the sview case and I love it, keeps screen protected doesn't add bulk and no accidental unlocks and dials in pocket, I dont have any complains about it and im one of the ones that use to hate flip covers

I'm also sweating my thighs. My solution to that is make the front part of your phone (which includes the screen) face the outside part so that the back part is the one getting thr sweat from your thighs.

Well I can't say that I never thought it wouldn't happen but I just cracked my precious Nexus 5's screen. Now I did buy a caseology slim fit case but didn't like so I was planning on getting a spigen case and in the mean time gave just been rocking it naked with a screen protector. Alright so real quick, I had a hoodie on with one pocket and some how flew out seemed to land on top right bezel sending like 2 (main) hairline cracks down the screen. Though the digitizer is fine.
So, any way you guys can help with the best way of getting this fixed, either good priced repair option or (if not too hard) easy guide to screen replacement, I'm a bit tech savvy but never replaced a screen.
Thanks for any help you guys can give in advance.
