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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=66-4uMQqerA#t=36s
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

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.
Specs via phonearena.com
Nexus 4- 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm
T989- 130 x 69 x 9 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.

withc you think us the best?
the obex

or the lifeproof?
http://www.lifeproof.com/en/galaxy-s4-nuud/
I like the life proof name more personally. I'm just being biased to the brand however I will add that I'd rather have the flat black design too
Life proof

I hv a cheapo lifeproof knockoff but if I would got an expensive case (and I may still do) prob would get the lifeproof with screen protector fre ver..
I bought the Nuud for the S4. I personally really love it. Not because the **** is expensive but lighter than my Otterbox Defender AND it's such a better design than my prior LifeProof for the iPhone 5. If you have anyquestions please ask. Tag me in the question so ill see it.

How is the sound? During a call and the back speaker? Do you think it would work with a thin class screan protector?

I bought the obex, and it is awesome. I prefer it to any other case, but I have never had a life proof to compare it to. The obex comes with a gasketed extention to keep the phone water proof while using the headphones

During sound playback you can tell a difference from not having the case in but it's not a huge let down like it was with my iPhone 5 Life Proof. As far as voice feedback in the ear goes it does take the noise canceling a second to catch up so on the first ring or so it sounds distorted but it quickly fixes itself. It's not making calls or listening to music. No more opening the bottom hatch to make sure someone can hear me. And as far as the plastic cover goes if you're meaning a screen protector like invisible shield then it will fit. They provide you an optional screen protector to put on (I used it). I do intend on investing in a better one later, probably Ghost Armor. Lmk if you have anything else

Thank you, and I'm asking if you think a tempered glass screen protector would fit on there with the case and still seal? I have the mime feather glass on my phone and its very thin for a glass protector, not much thicker than the usual plastic ones.

I wish the same way on the other side. The OPEX is the same price as the Life Proof Nüüd which I have. I seen your post and I started looking for side by side comparisons unfortunately non exist... The LifeProof are awesome as well.

Whichever you decide get one that isn't nuud and has a built in screen protector, otherwise there's is a risk of leakage. My iPad lifeproof is nuud and it leaks if you are too rug with it in the pool

I just purchased the version without a screen protector built in. The nuud I believe. I have a Mime glass protector (not the thinnest one, but the one with rounded edges) and it fits. Now, I havent tested it because Im not going to submerge my phone just to find out on purpose, BUT it appears to fit and seal normally. ill try to get some pics for you later when I get off work,
Short answer, yes it fits.....

The Obex is good at waterproofing. It's got some cons tho. I reckon the LifeProof will be less bulky. The Obex makes the notification bar hard to pull down cuz it covers the part above the screen. I don't really like the plastic screen protector of the Obex case also. But it's still a good case to consider!

I'm not to happy with my obex anymore. The screen protector is pretty crappy, the case scratches fairly and the colored parts get dirty. I had it on for a while and I'm very careful with my phone and its all marked up case and screen protector. And the protecter isn't that clear either. Yeah it's good that tue case is scratched and not the phone but my otterbox commuter has been on my phone for a lot longer and still looks good.

There's a review for everyone lol, thanks!
I've had this case before, on my Galaxy S4. It's good but it blocks reception.
Well, all Aluminum Cases Will Affect the Signal,,

I have ordered one hope to get it next week so I could check if it block the signal for me currently I`m very happy with my Neo Hybrid case from Spigen but I like to check how the phone will look if it`s aluminium and will it work.
Yes the case WILL interfere just a little.
But it makes your phone look soooooo good!!!!

I was thinking about getting those but the back cover needs to be removed to use it. What I'm looking at now is the fine day cases. They come in metal frame glass back or leather and the frame goes on but the back goes on top of the back case. And just my honest opinion looks Way way better than thsee metal cases (also doesn't hurt the signal as bad) have a look.

Hi fellas,
Im searching on amazon for metal battery covers but none of them are IP67 certified/water resistant.
So my question is:
Does anyone know a source for some IP67 certified metal and non-metal backcovers?

oem covers are non metal, they are available online including amazon and ebay, as for metal one's, even if they say it's ip67 i won't believe it.
you just have to see the actual cover if they include the rubber seal gasket, and the quality of the seal and cover.
I suggest you stay away from a metal back door. From what I've read many times for many phones, the metal door interferes with data and signal.

Awesome. I like that amazon has these for preorder. I don't think Spigen has even posted these on their website yet.
I've come to really like Spigen products, but Supcase is making waves lately too.
they are up now. kind of hard to decide though. I bought the thicker one for my note 3 and dont know if i want to go with the hybrid this time or....
Has anyone tried the hybrid? protect the device just as well? Ive dropped my note 3 in parking lots, smacked it against gym equipment, stepped on it at the gym lol, dropped on tile lol. still holding up with minimal ware and tear. Only visible issues are the hairline cracks everyone else is seeing.
I ordered this one too...I still have it for my note 3 and they are great. Protect the phone very well.

the hairline cracks go down the chrome plastic surrounding of the phone. Where the note 4 has metal, that was cracked. Nothing crazy but it was noticeable. I actually purchased the metal neo hybrid and the glass protector. First time trying one of these.

I had the Neo Hybrid for the Note 3 and hated it. While I loved the design, It had ZERO grip. It was always sliding out of my hand. I hope the new ones have a more tacky back now.
That Versus case looks nice and looks like the back might have a bit more grip.

holy hi res
i ordered one of the Verus. I'm hoping that the outside piece truly is Aluminum metal and not plastic made to resemble metal as in the Spegin Neo. DOnt get me wrong , I love the Spigen but I often found myself breaking the bumper ring when I was changing batteries. I always get extra batteries of whatever phone i have. Whether it was the GS3 (my dad), GS4 (my sister), GS5 (my gf), Note 3 (me).........now when I get the Note 4.
Wondering when Note 4 accessories, such as extra battery or spare battery kit (extra battery and spare battery charger) since the new battery is 3220 MaH.
