Re. Flipcase
Hi!
An alternative option would be Piel Frama who should be releasing a DHD case soon.

They´re shockingly expensive and i have no experience with their products whatsoever but i have considered getting one myself.

I've had a couple of PielFrama cases in the past. Quality and fit are definitely not an issue as they are first-class products. It however depends if you want to pay a premium price if you can get by with equivalent products.

pdair.com released their cases a few days ago.

anyone tried this metalic case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-Al...8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1289222670&sr=1-8
its expensive at £30 but comes with life time warrenty (according to Proporta website). i need a flip case and am considering getting this.

i went to almost every mobile shop in Leeds trying to buy some sort of a cover for my DHD - not 1 shop had any anything ofr the DHD, not even the leeds market! looks like i will have to order it from the net, gonna go for this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-Al...8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1289222670&sr=1-8
ah just noticed its due for release on 30 november, i can not wait that long

Kays Cases

Has anyone tried one of these? They look good and not so expensive
http://www.amazon.com/KaysCase-Cove...8&qid=1353903169&sr=8-6&keywords=nexus+4+case

I agree, it looks kind of cheap looking for $13 price tag. I hope Google gets off its ass and start making these Bumpers available. They also need to start contacting companies to get some cases on the market. If they are going to keep running out of Bumpers and we have very limited options, they BETTER expect lots of cracked Nexus 4's coming back to their replacement warehouse. There is no reason for a company like this to have such a poor E-Commerce practice. It's absolutely ridiculous.

+$3.98 shipping for me... booooooo

I haven't gotten the clear case I ordered yet from them, but I can vouch for their customer service.
I preordered the clear case and received a package from them late last week. It had an S case in it.
The clear cases have taken a little longer to manufacture, so they sent me a free S case to make sure my phone is protected until the clear case is in stock.
Note: I ordered the clear case, not the smoked clear. Looks like they took the clear option off of Amazon temporarily.

Yea I ordered it Friday I think its shipping today I'll post some pics when I get it ...didn't notice the back saying Kay's case till after Lol :/

I have their S- line type case on my nexus 4 right now, I know it isn't the same case, but very similar. TBO it looks like the same one that is selling on Ebay from China for less.
I considered buying one off Ebay, but glad I didn't because they sent me a black case when I ordered a clear one. I messaged them and they are sending me the clear one I ordered free of charge. I know it is rare to have an issue like I did, but it is nice to know they have good customer
service.
Here's a link to the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A72UR7M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

what a crock.
i received my kay case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZNBI2M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and it was identical to iblason:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y0ZZD4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I mean identical in every way. Even the insert they gave. Both are unbranded black cases.
Do not buy this case thinking it might be an alternative to the iblason.
IDENTICAL

I am looking for a clear shield just for the back. Can anyone suggest anything?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my shiny new Nexus 4!

i bought one of these in black. not bad. i dont really like the way the official bumper fits on the phone so this will do until a nicer tpu one comes out.

Got mine yesterday. I like it but it peels up the corners of my Xtremeguard protector. I'm gonna try a thinner protector with it.

Ballistic Case for $20.95 shipped (Best Protection)

Hello, I hope you are doing well.
I know hundreds of members here recently purchased the Google LG Nexus 4 phone, and many people are still hunting for a case. After hours of research, I have personally determined that the best protective case currently available is the Ballistic Shell Gel (OtterBox and Lifeproof have no plans to make cases for this phone).
This case comes in either black/black color or black/pink color. The official Ballistic website offers this case for $34.95 plus shipping (source), and the black/black ran out of stock within hours of being available.
Fortunately, TheCellGuru.com offers this case for just $18.96 (here), and shipping prices start at $1.99 (for the 48 lower US states), making the final price $20.95.

It looks like they do. I entered a random Vancouver address and it worked. However, the lowest shipping price is $7.90.

Thanks. I've been searching for this and have ordered one to Canada.
I find it humourous that international (US to Canada?) is 13 to 18 days.
Must be coming by stage coach.
Cheers

Great case and great deal! Received mine last Saturday straight from Ballistic. Was too impatient to wait for a good deal. I paid $37 shipped. It's a great investment to protect the Nexus 4. Highly recommended!

Just bought one. They said ill get it at feb 19. Thats a long ass wait o.o

International Shipping
hey.. im really looking for a rugged hybrid case like the one you are offering.
do you guys ship internationally as well ? like other than US UK and Canada. I wanted to know if it was possible to ship to the middle east or India, preferably the middle east.

I want to get one but they are out of stock need it for work and am so scared right now this phone is super slippery lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

It looks like this just ran out of stock at TheCellGuru.com, but the official Website now has these in stock again for $34.99 here. Use 20% off coupon code ALL4LOVE to make it slightly cheaper, though still not as cheap as the original deal I posted.
Hope this helps,
Vic

I ordered one last friday from him and was surprised that I didn't hear one peep from him about the sale. I sent him a note yesterday and he just said that the listing had already told me that the item would ship three days after payment was received and they'd send me a tracking number when they shipped it. I've never bought anything from good sellers on Ebay where I didn't get at least some kind of note immediately after I paid for an item at least acknowledging they'd taken my money. And a terse and rude reply as well. The guy I buy my skintomi gear from emails me seconds after i pay him and ships the same day sometimes. I won't be ordering anything else from thecellguru, and I wonder just how long it's going to take the ballistic case to get here.

Ordered mine through CNB Deals on ebay here. Hoping all goes well, as I also never rec'd an email after I paid with pay-pal. Hoping I get a tracking number soon!
I wish Ballistic kept they're Amazon store stocked, since I have Prime it would've been a no brainer to do the free 2 day shipping and pay the full $35 and be done with it.

Hot DAMN it's $55 shipped across the pond!! No USPS first class? Disappointing.
Some guy's selling it on ebay with cheaper shipping... still $43 though. Might just go for the Ionic Guardian.

$26 shipped

Just say no to the extra items.

I bought one from the cellguru guy when they were in stock last weekend, but got an email today saying they'd run out. Stating dispatch ~end of Feb. But when out of stock, delivery is anyone's guess.

I also ordered from thecellguru.com when it showed in stock. Received email stating now out of stock and wont ship for 14 days. Considering cancelling order and going elsewhere. Unfortunately did it through paypal so money is paid already.
Will update when I receive it. If I knew it was going to be that slow I would have ordered directly or bought the Rearth Fusion Hybrid.

I apologize for the delay. I posted this deal in three forums - here, SlickDeals, and FatWallet - so TheCellGuru was likely swamped with hundreds of orders at the same time.

Do you know any place that is selling a back housing for the S4, that looks like the back of the note 3?

The note 3 has been out for a while now. Anyone seen any backs for the S4?

http://www.fonearena.com/blog/94893...-s4-mini-go-black-with-faux-leather-back.html

I don't really care if it looks identical to the official one, I just want a backplate with a better grip (without having to resort to cases.) So far I've only been able to find cheap Chinese/Taiwanese crap where the "leather" sticker starts to peel off in a week. I would've thought that Samsung releasing "faux-leather" back on Note 3 would be a kick in 3rd-party accessory market.

I self-appointed myself as the guinea pig in the purchase after I found a seller, so I'm asking that no one else order one until I can confirm that it is, indeed, the real deal. I estimate that I should have the back plate by, at the latest, mid next week due to EMS shipping and by it going through customs.

Google Bumper Case for Google Nexus 4

My second, non-genuine, (although sold as genuine ), bumper case, has split in a few places, and as I'm not ready to replace the handset yet, I thought I'd try and locate a genuine replacement. Expansys are selling them via Ebay for £5.99 delivered, but I checked Expansys direct and they are selling them for £4.99 delivered, so guess where I ordered it from? These things are getting as rare as hen's teeth!

I'm got one from eBay and using it since 3-4 months. It's still holding up good :good:
