Once again, I just want to remind everyone of the Mofi pouch.
You can see Matias Duarte taking the Nexus 4 out of a Mofi pouch here:

I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this since I've used this pouch ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. Bought it twice and will probably buy one more when I order the Nexus 4.
I'm not luckyexpress168, just of fan of the high quality product. Here's his/her store link:

Nice. Been using on my gnex a pouch similar to the original Nexus one pouch but this seems better

I bought that as well when I got my Galaxy Nexus but yes, this is thicker and because N4 is 5mm shorter in length, it should fit better than even the Galaxy Nexus.
Which item are you guys purchasing? I don't see Nexus 4 anywhere.
awesome! I was wondering what case Matias was using! Just ordered the "Kangaroo" version (not because I'm Aussie ) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/36046530...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3419wt_1397 (This should fit the Nexus 4, Nexus 4 is smaller than the SGS3 except for the thickness)

Are these MoFi pouches totally soft or do they have material that provide firmness? If I am not mistaken, the MoFi pouch seems to be just soft fabric.
(I've been using a leather pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, which provides good protection against edge drops.)

Yes they are completely soft, but from my experience with my HOX they are plenty thick enough to protect the screen when I dropped it. Kind of like a synthetic felt kind of fabric which cleans the screen every time you push/pull your phone from the pouch; quite a tight fit though... headphones never really fit in too well. Still, best pouch I ever owned and much better than a bully case. Had a bright orange one myself, sucker for bright colours hope that helps.
I really, really want a Mofi pouch, but I'm not sure which one I should order! What device is closest to the Nexus 4 in terms of dimensions?
To those that keep their phones in pouches, too you guys put the phone and pidgin your pocket or do you keep both in a bag? Random and weird question, I know. I wear Levis 511 and am curious how you guys carry them

It doesn't add too much bulk? I may have to try that.

Nope. But then again I don't use tight fitting jeans. Don't think that would look good on me

I think a Galaxy Nexus pouch would fit the N4.
The tmobile t989-galaxy s2 case is like 4 mm off height wise, but almost spot on everywhere else.

Nexus 4- 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm

I would agree with that statement. If you watch theVerge video where they are talking to Matias, he pulls the Nexus 4 out of the Mofi Pouch. Since i don't think anyone at Google told Mofi about the specific dimensions, and it's not likely that he has a GS3 since he works at Google, my bet is that he used the Mofi Pouch with his Galaxy Nexus and it fit great via the video.

That's what the first post in this thread says.
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

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.
Any reviews for this? And pictures please. http://www.metal-slim.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=602

Polycarbonate I believe. As such, I don't see it better than the tried and true Ringke Slim or even the SGP or Poetic Slim cases. At $16.00 + $19.00 shipping, there's pretty much no reason to get this.
Anyone have any clue when the release will be for these cases?

Some people already have them, there were on sale for a few mins then taken down

yeah wanna get one of these asap
I have the grey plastic case from google. The materials used feel nice, but I would definitely not recommend it. In fact if I hadn't immediately thrown away the packaging I would have returned it.
It's very bulky. If you lay the phone down on its back the sides of the case taper from bottom to top. its much wider towards the rear of the phone.
Also, the cutouts for the buttons are terrible. They really aren't even cutouts, no recessions for the buttons to fit inside the case for a nice clicky feel. Very mushy. Not worth it at the premium price, or even for a $6.99 temporary case from amazon.
I can't wait to throw it away.
Wow that's a kick in the ya know. I want a case that doesn't counter or has the nexus word on the back. Uggh

Dude... They're $35 and $50 each... Go with a Spigen and save roughly $25-$40 dollars!!

The OEM LG Nexus 5 cases are a total fail. We are coming from a high quality Nexus 4 bumper case that was engineered almost to perfection to this crud? What a step backwards.
What about the Nexus 5 accessories topic?
Was gonna wait for the Google case bit its not even ready to order so I went for the same as I've got on my ip5 the spigen neo hybrid with a gold band on the black version.. Should look gOOd

I really like Poetics line of cases. They're cheap and come with a 3-year warranty! And they have awesome customersevice!
I bought a case for my Nexus7 (2013) and there were issues with it that everyone reported, and they decided to remake it with this issues into consideration and mail everyone a new one FOR FREE!!! They really are awesome! Check em out on amazon.:good:
