I work in an environment where particles can easy plug up ports.
Anyone know of cases that cover or plug them so I don't get them full of debris?
alternative, you can buy port caps.
in doing a quick search on Amazon, I found this: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=micro%20usb%20port%20cap. Definitely some options.
Definitely a good idea. I work in area with a lot dust and petrocoke dust too.

Here's three choices, the Seidio isn't available yet and I think at least one of the Otterbox models, probably the Defender has the port covers. I called Seidio last week and they said they didn't have an ETA. I called Ballistic today and they said later this week or early next week it'll be available so that's what I'm going to order.

There's also the Ringke Fusion by Rearth: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N174SZM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

How is the overall feel of the case? I was looking at this one as well. I had a clear case for the HTC M8, but it felt tacky and the clear back showed fingerprints all of the time. Does this case have those issues? TIA.
I got the white note, so finger prints are not that visible. However, with the black note I imagine that they would be.

I have the black Note 4 and bought the clear version of this case. It's a solid case- the button feedback is fantastic and it's actually slightly slimmer than the SPIGEN UH (I also bought that in clear). The Spigen feels a little tougher/thicker and the buttons on those are too flat so the feedback isn't as nice. The BIG BIG BIG problem with both of these cases is that they SCRATCH EASILY...like really easily. I took off the caution sticker on the back for the Ringke Fusion and my nail, despite being very careful, left deep indented scratches that can't be removed - it makes the case look really bad when scratched up, unfortunately. The grip on both, though, is solid. The port sockets actually close up perfectly on the Fusion case. I also bought the Ringke Slim case in Black SF (soft feel) and I'm very very happy with it. This is the case I'll be keeping. I'm sending back the other two.

I just looked at a Defender case at AT&T and am disappointed. I don't know about their Defender cases for other phones, but the Note 3 has a cover for the home button. There Defender case for the Note 4 does not, instead it just has a cut out in the screen protector for the home button. I enjoyed the port covers and liked the peace of mind knowing that if something did drip a little on my phone I could probably just wipe it off (happened once). Instead there is now a big hole in the screen protector that will allow any liquid to come in and stay trapped.
Just something to think about...

I ordered the Ballistic Tough Maxx. I researched Otterbox a couple of years ago and on their own website a lot of customers were complaining the cases were coming loose. Most indicated they would not recommend to a friend. Plus I think they're overpriced. I got my Ballistic for $34 incl freight.

I ordered it through a 3rd party Amazon reseller called Warehouse Distributing who showed they had one available when I ordered it two days ago. After my order their link on the Amazon webpage was removed. It was supposed to have shipped yesterday or today but last night they sent me an email stating it was backordered with an ETA TBD. Warehouse Distributing is a new Amazon reseller and the individual that sent the email in a follow up email to my response questioning why the status change claimed they don't have any merchandise of any kind and just forward their orders to their suppliers. He said by the time he had done that with my order the remaining case had been sold. I have my doubts that a case was ever available because I called Ballistic earlier in the week and they said it would be released either later this week or early next week.
All in all a most dissastisfactory experience with Warehouse Distributing.
The Unicorn Beetle Pro w/holster has port covers too.
Here's a pic
One more.
Otterbox Defender, toughest case you can buy if your not concerned with the bulkiness of it and the cost. Remove the built in screen protector and add Tempered Glass. I'm a machine operator and am tough on everything. This is the best option I've found. Covers the ports for both power and headphones.
This is what I bought for my Note 4

Thanks much for the heads up!! I just ordered one myself. Last night I ordered the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro on Amazon and after I ordered it it showed a delivery between 11-3 & 11-19 which greatly disappointed me. The product description stated shipping in 3-4 days. I'd rather have the Ballistic because of the separate screen cover piece so when a tempered glass protector without the halo effect becomes available I can easily use it. Plus the Ballistic is I think a more rugged case than the Supcase. I really wanted a kickstand but the only one I found that had port covers, a belt clip & a kickstand is the Seidio Convert Combo which is not yet released and when I called them last week they said they had no release ETA for it. What I don't get about the Ballistic is it's available on eBay but not on Ballistic's website. First time I've ever bought anything on eBay. Thanks again for letting me know about the availability.
I bought the Ringke fusion from amazon and it covers the USB and headphone openings. It also came with a screen protector and has a loop for a wrist strap,which I use with my wii wrist strap when I'm out taking photos in precarious situations. Wish I had it when I was out exploring caves.

Yeah I know but since they are adding one of their iPhone type cases to the Nexus One about every two weeks I think later on they will have one of the best selections of snap on cases in the future.
the black case is very intriguing but the pictures suck at showing how it covers the phone, post pictures when you get it????

I'm still waiting for it but when I get I'll take some pictures. Also I should be getting a chrome one from Case-mate this week, I'll post pics of that one to.
I got the ultra-case - The One yesterday. It fits the phone well, but does cover the dock pins even though they say it does not. Oh well, it prolly would not fit in a dock with the case anyhow.
I did not know what I was going to do for case/skin, etc so I bought this case, and a BSE skin. I will definitely be using the skin over the case.
Case feel like a cheap hard rubber case that can be bought for iphones for $3 all day long.. I was dissapointed to say the least. I guess I'll just have to wait for otterbox to kick out their cases for these phones.
I'm sending the case back and applying my BSE skin now...

I bought the Case-Mate Barely There case for my Nexus One. Just came in today. If anyone is familiar with the Incipio Feathercase for the iPhone, this case very similar to that one. Good protection without the added bulk of most cases. Still small enough to fit in one of those belt holster deals.

Yeah I got it, its kind of hard to take a picture since its chrome. I will tell you this the chrome snap-on case from Case-mate is feels way better than the Black by Ultra-case. The black one feels some what loose like it might come off, I can definitely recommend buying the chrome one it looks sweet and has a perfect fit. When it comes to shipping I paid Ultra-case $19.99 for 2-4day delivery from Hong Kong to the U.S., well it took 21days that is their $2.00 delivery option so I had to email them and get my $18 back, I first ordered on March 3rd and they said I would be refunded but I'm still waiting for it to show up on my credit card. With Case-mate I payed $5.92 for 2-4day delivery and I received it in 4 days.

They are the same and you can find them for $5 if you look harder on ebay, I have bought 3 for $12 before for my Mytouch 3G. The only thing that is unique about Ultra-cases.com is thier snap-on cases because hardly anybody makes them for the Nexus One mosts of these type of cases are for the iPhone, I still think the chrome one from Case-mate is better.

I just received that Seidio Holster case, it works great. I didn't want to get one of the other cases since they cover up the engraving I had done. Bravo Seidio!
I bought this case from Incipio and it is pure crap just like the one from Ultracase here are the cases I am talking about:

The Case-mate: Google Nexus One Barely There is far superior to those piece of crap cases.
Just in case anyone is still looking for cases for the Nexus this thread has good websites.
This is the case I want. I see it's listed at this site. I'm not familiar with them, does anyone know if they are reputable?

i wouldn't go for case-mate for the charge. this item is not on their website so who knows if this is even a case-mate case. Case-mate is pretty reputable but since this isn't on their website I would stay away.

I used the barely there for over a year on my EVO and never a problem. I dropped it a couple times. I believe these hard shells give the corners/back/body more strength withour adding bulk. These things are already plenty big IMO. With the gorilla glass I dont think there is any need for screen protection. IMHO
I did order the one off Ebay, but that Incipio looks pretty sweet too. I'll let you know how it works out in 7-10 days
I probably would have given the Case Mate case a try if I had seen it when I ordered my Incipio Silicrylic case, but I like the styling of the Incipio so we will see how that one works out for me in a few days, but it is good to see that there might be a Barely There case available for the Charge which is a good thing.
Those could possibly be real. I would wait either way. Do not go for the Incipo feather, it is horrible. I liked it for my Atrix but the deign they did for the Charge is horrible.
case-mate and barely there
I've seen the case-mate barely there cases on ebay even before they were released on the official site. As of this writing case-mate does have the barely there cases in stock (at least when I check). It comes in two colors black and pink.
As for the alternatives I bought the Incipio case only because I couldn't resist that thin red profile. But I made the purchase knowing full well what I was getting into--if you are looking for actual protection follow the advice of the previous posters and look elsewhere. It's also worth mentioning that the case-mate version is a complete piece in terms of surrounding the phone--the Incipio has a break on the left side for the charger port and destroys the aesthetic for a lot of people.
On a side note, some ebay sellers seem to be selling the case-mate tough line. I would never personally order anything from ebay without having seen it in stock on the official website. But ebay had the barely there cases even before case-mate's site had it in stock. They did have a preview of the product however, you just couldn't order it. If the tough cases are showing up on ebay it's probably safe to assume that they will be offering it quite soon officially. Even amazon has an official pre-order for the item but their time frame is 1-3 months.
I hope they release the tough cases soon, I had one for the Nexus One and was really happy with it and it looks thinner (by its pics) than the Incipio dual layer case that is currently being offered. I want a bit more protection for my phone but want to avoid making it too thick so the Otter and Trident cases are out the window, even if they offer extra covering.
I've been waiting for CaseMate to release this for awhile now. I just ordered it and will probably do a review when I get it.
I was disappointed in the Incipio Feather, I did a review a few pages back (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147494). In fact, shortly after my review, the coating started to come off around the edges, which was pretty disappointing.
OK, I dont know how Ebay gets stuff before it's even on the manufacturers own website, but this is the real deal! If not, it the best looking knockoff I've ever seen. I had one for close to a year with my EVO and this one has the same build quality. It amazes me how tight these cases fit, yet snap on or off effortlessly. I am definitely happy now and wont need another till I get my GSII.
The fit is amazing, but hey...a picture tells more than I can. Even with me poor photo skillz
Another thing...Ordered on Friday at 9AM and received Mondays mail. That's great for ebay.
Thank you so much for posting your pics!
I was curious as to how the case-mate one looked. I was debating on purchasing it but I really want a red one. I have the red Incipio feather case but the case-mate looks like it puts it to shame. The feather case sits a mm or two below the plane of the screen which I don't like--along with the break for the charger port. At the time I got my phone I had little choice but I'll have to take the case-mate version into consideration.
I ordered the tough case off amazon, it should arrive in a day or two. Ever since I got a spare battery I have to constantly remove the feather case and the inner edge of the case is tearing. I can see the silver lining now--it's not too bad but it is annoying if you notice small things like that.
I saw that the ebay seller has a white one but I did not see this on Case Mates website. The picture on ebay looks a little green though. Would like something other than black or pink ...
Now they are on CM site' lol
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Dr...e-Samsung-Droid-Charge-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Anybody know how these compare to the incipio feather cases. They are the same price. and look almost the same. Was wondering if there was any difference quality wise.
Incipio Feather I had this on my fascinate and loved it. Very sturdy.
Well the Incipio Feather is so bad that I actually sent mine back. The button cutouts were uncomfortable to use and it did not wrap around the screen. The main reason I wanted it was so I could put my phone screen down without a screen protector. I had the Feather on my Atrix and loved it.
The Barely There looks like its designed a lot better. I would not even consider the Feather if I were you.

Thanks I went with the case mate.
Anyone know if either of these fit in the desktop dock?
If you mean the Samsung Dock (model ECR-D994BE) it won't. I have it and no kind of plastic case will allow the phone to sit flush in the dock. You will have to remove the case to use the dock properly.
The Case-Mate does pop off & on very easily.
The Bestbuy Rocketfish case is also a great barely there case.
It completely wraps the phone.. I have it and love it so far.

I've been using a Diztronic tpu case on my gnex for ~8 months and it has been great! Very minimal added bulk, protection has been very good, great deal on amazon. Dropped a few times with no signs of wear. Would buy again (if it didn't interfere with wireless charging).
Cruzerlite is already offering preorders for the n4 case.

Diztronic is great. They made multiple revisions to the GalNex case as customer's requested more cutouts, etc, and sent free revisions to anyone that had purchased an earlier case. They rock. I wanna say someone from Diztronic is on XDA as well. I'll definitely be picking up a case from them at some point.

I love the diztronic cases. Fits better than any tpu style case that I have used and adds very minimal bulk, like holycrap8 said. I've even had people think that my iphone 5 was naked with the case on. Wish they would do a preorder.
Never used a cruzerlite case before and have heard great things about them, but I'm not a fan of the droid guy on the back. I like a plain look better.
Just had a look at their products and I am glad I have came across this brand. I have a barely there case by Case-Mate but looking at this, it is much cheaper and looks very well made and design is very nice as well. Think I will be getting this once I get my Nexus 4.
Looks real good...be waiting for these.

We are indeed making Nexus 4 TPU Cases as well as a one piece polycarbonate case. As far as pre-orders, Diztronic and Cruzer Lite cases are both made in the same factory. I know for certain neither of us have actually started designing our case as we weren't able to get a dummy phone or CAD data for the device ahead of the release like we usually are. So pre-ordering now seems a bit premature. I'm shipping out the Nexus 4 I bought on eBay (google play orders were back-ordered) to the factory on Monday. From there it takes less than a week to design the mold, couple of days to make and package the cases, and then 1-2 days to have them shipped back here for distribution. The earliest we'd be able to finish all of those steps is the first week of December.
Our Nexus 4 TPU cases are going to have molded power and volume rockers, using newly designed buttons. The same buttons we used on our Maxx HD and Lumia 920 cases. They are very easy to press. Our Nexus 4 TPU Case will be based on our new updated "seamless" design, the same design we've used for iPhone 5, Maxx HD, Lumia 920. The new design has a much smaller glossy lip, it's only on the front of the case, not 1/2 of the entire case like it was previously. This style mold does cost significantly more to make (it's now a 3 piece mold instead of 2), so we do sell them slightly higher than our previous cases.
Our one piece hard shell case is going to be similar to others on the market, with the exception that we going to make them with a raised lip to protect the front of the device as well.
That's all for now.... I'm off to see the movie Lincoln!
Nice! The lack of anything covering the buttons was holding me back from getting a Diztronic case, but you guys have fixed that. Will the cases include a screen protector like some previous cases?
I love me some Diztronic. Nick, I'm in Milwaukee and just got my N4 if you need me to beta test anything

Lol no. These cases are a quality product. I'm excited to get it. I'll buy it from you the day you let me :thumbup:

FYI - 6 CAD drawings of what the case will look like are available at the site below. You can see one of the six below.

Details:
11/21/2012: We completed the design for our Nexus 4 TPU Cases last night. Since we have been getting a lot of emails regarding this model we decided to share with you some CAD renders of the completed design. We are currently making the mold and will start manufacturing cases this weekend! It appears we are on schedule for a first week of December launch! -Clay

i bet these guys know have they don't have much competition when it comes to a case for the N4 (since nom one more important bigger case makers haven't release anything yet), but really? you release a case but no picture... way to go guys at Diztronic :good:
I want an SGP ultra silke case. Similar to the one i had on my s2.
Agree with others, I have to at least see pictures before ordering.

Here is a review of the iPhone 5 matte black case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pp9TulOCM0 (exact same construction here)
Here is a cad rendering of the case http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=46_76&products_id=307
Here is a quote from their website "11/30/2012: The first batch of Matte Back Black TPU Cases for the Nexus 4 are on it's way to us from the factory. We are opening up orders now as the first shipment is limited to 1500 pieces. We are estimating a ship date to customers of Tuesday December 4th assuming there are no delays in transit. Pictures will be posted the day they arrive."
Hope this helps! It will be a great case once it arrives, they have really good customer service as well.
I ordered one yesterday because it's probably the best tpu case available at the moment.
I don't want some cheap tpu case that doesn't fit well and looks crappy. Even if it isn't the best looking case, I guarantee its better than anything available on the market right now for tpu cases.
EDIT: use code "xda" for a 10% discount. Worked for me yesterday.

The S-Line cases fit really well. I'll be ordering one of these soon though.
Funny how people are worried about seeing pictures when its not even expensive, I ordered one and will also order their slim case when available

Looking at iPhone 5 review, people seem to be complaining about the aluminum being scratched by the case.
Would that be due to a build-up of dirt inside the case?
I haven't received my Nexus 4 yet, but I really want to protect the delicate aluminum and glass backing, which is why I'm also putting a Skinomi full body guard on it as well as an S-line case.
Please give some feedback for this case when you get it because it looks like a really nice case overall :good:

Its just a build up of dirt and debris. That's why from time to time I always take my phone out of my case and clear out the dust and such inside the case. Solves that problem.

So would you say having a full body screen protector would protect it from any scratching due to dirt being in the case?

Definitely! I bought the cheap XtremeGuard full body protection just for that. I don't want the glass back to be scratched even with a protector. Did you buy one during the sale?

I was looking at the XtremeGuard, and it definitely was a great deal!
However, I decided to get the full body Skinomi off Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Protective-Lifetime/dp/B009W6C4FW/ref=pd_sim_cps_3
It was a little pricier, and it only came with one, but I figured that with the warranty I only really need one.
Additionally, it provided guards for the edges. It might be difficult to get them on just right, but protecting the chrome is really important to me!
Protecting the super nice back is important too.
I ordered one.

Went ahead and ordered. Really like the Diztronic TPU case for my HTC One S - it's made of high quality plastic and has a premium feel to it.
Here's a link to the Diztronic matte black case for the Optimus G: http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Flexible-Optimus-Sprint-Rogers/dp/B00A567462/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1354507077&sr=8-11&keywords=diztronic+tpu
Looks great - simple, clean, thin. I haven't actually seen the back of my phone since I first received it so I'm not too bothered with covering up the disco.
Just ordered mine successfully using the "XDA" coupon code as well.
I guess we'll see how it is. Everyone seems to like their cases for other phones.
Case material?
So I have never owned a TPU case, or anything other than hard plastic.
How "rubbery" is this guy? Would it be a pain taking it out of a pocket? Does it attract lint/etc?
I have the rearth case, but it's a little slick...
I need help finding a case that has a belt holster, the phone is too big and too hard to put into my pants sometimes and is very frustrating. My note 2 I used the platinum case. However I would prefer a more 'gel grip' case if possible.
Edit: Must be white!
Yes let me know too!
Yeah I would be interested too. Maybe just a holster as I like the case I have already.
Buy the pelican case through AT&T. Best case out by FAR
I ordered 2 through amazon. The Encased and Cellbee brands. Waiting for them to arrive to seenif they are any good.

i have this in black. its not bad. plenty of protection, built in screen protector (at least till there are some decent glass ones, then its coming off or i'll get a uag to go with it. i cut off the dust covers to the usb and headphone, i just dont like them on any case. i'd rate it a 6 or 7/10. i prefer uag though.
it comes with a holster. not as good of one as say otterbox, but it works and keeps it secure. just not as fluid in and out of it.
Too bad that it must be white. My Seidio Surface is perfect for me.

I'm looking forward to getting my Surface today but even more forward to Seidio releasing the Convert add on kit so I can order that and their Quest car mount.
I think you'll like it. I had the Speigen cases just to get by, and paid more than I needed to for the Seidio on Preorder overnight, but man the thing is almost perfect. I added a flygrip to it which makes it complete for me, obviously not for everyone, but certainly functional. Wish I got just a plain black flygrip, but will have to manage for now.

Eventually when Best Buy gets them they sell the Surface w/ holster for $20 less than Seidio. It's called their Platinum series. But I needed some protection 2 weeks ago when I got the phone. This Seidio Surface is the 4th case I've ordered, the first three orders were cancelled. Between that and the glass screen protector issue it has been a real PITA trying to protect this phone.
My Seidio Surface is junk. It feels cheap around the edges, doesn't seem 100% snug, plus the the top section and the bottom section slide around a little bit at the connection. I am really disappointed in Seidio .

If mine fits like that I'll send it back. If I wasn't able to turn the Surface into the Convert model I never would have ordered it. I think it's way overpriced and underfeatured. Doesn't even have covers for the side rocker switches let alone dust caps for the headphone jack & mini USB port. For $35 + freight to me that's too much money for what the case offers.
to me it has the feeling of a cheap case made in china bought off ebay. ..
Why not look at getting a leather type case that will fit the phone with a case. That's what I'm doing. I have the Incipio case and ordered a leather belt pouch to hold it. I prefer a belt clip, but I am hesitant to use Seidio anymore since my Note 2 days. I had the Surface for the Note 2 and it scratched the heck outta the phone's frame.
I've had better luck with rubber base cases. On my Note 2, I switched to the Otterbox Commuter with its rubber liner and was scratch free. That's why I'm trying the Incipio 2 piece case that has a rubber skin and a plastic outer shell like the Otterbox Commuter.
Thank you all for all of your advice, I am going with the last option of adding a clip that will be detachable. I have to have white, I just don't like the black on white...being that my phone is white... So I ordered this case.

I'm a modder at heart. So most likely like the guy above did with the clip on the case, however I'm doing research currently to find a way to remove it so the clip can stay on your belt.
Something like this, but even more low profile..
