That's awesome, thanks for letting us know, been waiting to see that. Now after seeing it, I'm sure of what I assumed, that the OEM/Verizon kickstand case is a much better case. It has a kickstand you can use in portrait and landscape, it provides good grip on the back of the phone, it fits very tightly and is durable plastic, and it barely goes over the front of the phone at all leaving the phone quite thin.
Innocases are what I used on my last 3 phones, and the soft touch/rubberized feel is nice (the kickstand case is rubberized but not as much), but, they are relatively brittle, they bulk up the phone a good deal by covering all sides and the front, and they don't have kickstands. I can't imagine not having a kickstand now after having one. But perhaps most important, is the cost? The kickstand cases are brand new on ebay for $12 shipped. innocases are going to run you $30 + shipping.
edit: Seidio's holsters are awesome though, best I've ever used. but I know a lot of people don't use a holster, and you can't with the kickstand case on anyways. I suggested a pouch to go with the kickstand case in my thread about it in this forum.

nice! thanks for the update! i've been waiting for a solid case that didn't cover up much of the front bezel. now only if sgp's website was working and i could get the ultra crystal screen protector...

does anyone have this? how is it? bulky or no?

I bought this case. It's really nice. However it makes my phone look exactly like an Iphone. You've probably seen this case on plenty of Iphones - it is essentially identical. The case its relatively thin, but certainly adds to the phone's size. It's probably about as thin as you're going to get for a case though (aside from using an invisible sheild type skin ). Quality is great. I love the case, the added size is fine because the case is still pretty sleek looking - And well worth the $30 investment to protect such an expensive phone. Lets not forget, samsung is notorious for bad build quality.

cool, i ordered it and will give a review here after i try it out for a bit. i hope it fels good in the hand

They are about the best cases out. Not too much bulk and the rubberized finish is a nice touch. Best Buy had them in black and white. They are labeled as the Seidio platinum series on retail shelves.

ok so i just got this case.. its pretty sweet! only one thing i dont like and i can't beleive no one else mentioned this, the power and volume rockers are kinda blocked off in a way that makes it a lil tough for your thumb to get too

I just got this case today in black..weird that Best Buy lists the white case at 29.99 but the black case at 34.99..weird, not exactly sure why the black costs more. Anyways, I will have some pretty detailed pictures tonight!

No pics, my camera is bummy..but I love the case. Fits perfectly and I don't mind it making the buttons more difficult to press. I have sausage fingers anyway so it feels better to me

Got my seido Active X w/holster in yesterday... I'm loving it, it looks way better than the otterbox, it provides more grip, you can actually see all the glass, and it doesn't block half the speaker on the back.. Glad I ordered it..

Just to update everyone, I had a Platinum case (Innocase) from Best Buy. I returned it because the bottom part had become unreasonably loose. Waiting for Bestbuy.com to get the Otterbox back in stock. I'm currently using the "carbon fiber" looking case from Verizon.

Droid Charge Cases

So far a few cases have popped up but the pickings are slim. I'm sure Verizon will have some over priced cases. Here are a few I found so far.
Mobi Products cases I found at the Android Central Store
Droid Charge Crystal Case
http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-crystal-case/4A123A8350.htm
Droid Charge Soft Gel Skin Case
http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-skin-case/4A54A8341.htm
Droid Charge Hard Shell Case
http://store.androidcentral.com/mobi-products-hard-shell-case/4A123A8345.htm
Amazon has some Rubberized Hard Shell cases as well
Black - http://www.amazon.com/Rubberized-Sc...RDD6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1304891783&sr=8-3
White - http://www.amazon.com/Rubberized-Pr...NARU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1304891783&sr=8-2
Red - http://www.amazon.com/Rubberized-Sc...DC/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1304892338&sr=8-11
There were some others but not a lot.

I really like the shell holster combo from verizon. It has a built in kick stand, which I stick my right middle finger through and it helps balance the phone and I can use 1 hand and touch every part of the phone I need to, lol...y'all should check that 1 out.

It's nice - very bulky though. My mom has it on her Charge.

I just got the Incipio double cover case and its very nice. Its not a snap on case so if it drops it will not come apart. Its a silicone inner shell and a hard soft touch shell on the outside.

The double cover is going back, there is no cutout for the hdmi port so you cant use it with the case on.

anyone considered an otterbox defender or commuter? their charge case isnt out yet but my buddy has one on his evo 4g and its extremely rugged and includes a holster

Yeah I'm waiting for otterbox to release their Charge cases. In the meantime I'm using one of the cheap gel cases from the Verizon store, but it slips off easily so not really a long-term solution.

I bought the incipio case and while there is no opening for hdmi, a dremel will fix that

The otterbox commuter is now available, just ordered mine from their site. Coupon code tb0411u for 10% off and free shipping.

TPU Case
I'm using the Samsung Droid Charge TPU case and I must say I'm impressed. It's a semi-hard/soft case and not flimsy like other rubber cases I've had.
My TPU case fits like a glove and easy to put on and take off.

Yeah I got it and like it. The commuter has two layers, one is gel and the outer one is a thin hard plastic.
It fits the Charge like a glove. There is a big open area for the HDMI port. The usb and headphone ports have a cover that you pop up to access.

I just got ghost armor put on my phone and can't be happier. Since all I am looking for is scratch protection and not to make the phone any larger - this is the perfect setup.
I got matte on the back and sides, andthe regularclear over the screen. This is so much better of a product than the zagg shields. Not only is the materialbetter, but it is cut to perfection so every little piece of the device is covered, even the buttons.
Also, the matte back and sides drastically improves the appearance of the phone. It looks like an aluminum unibody phone, rather than cheap shiny plastic.
Awesome. Best 40 dollars you can spend on this phone.
Oh, and if you go to one of their kiosks and get it rather than ordering it online they install it fir you, and they are very, very good at it.

I just had one in my mall right in front of the apple store. Go on their website, if they don't have anything there regarding where to find a kiosk give them a call - they are good at answering their phone.
I can post pictures tomorrow, but they probably wont show.much. you really can't tell anything is on it, but the matte back and.sides makes the phone look less plasticy.

I got the Otterbox commuter, it's great as all the otterboxes i've had are. It does add some bulk, but protects the phone very well with the 2 layer design. I'm not exactly gentle with my phone so I need the extra protection.
$26 shipped from an ebay dealer.

I'd like to see a commuter in person. I don't like the TPU much, it obscures the power and volume switches too much for my liking, and the charger dislodges really easily, but I bought it for a whopping 4 bucks on Amazon.
Might grab a cheapy silicone case in the meantime.

Bumper back in stock!

$27 after tax and shipping... ugh.

Doubtful as it doesn't cover the back at all. Of course that all depends on how it falls. The bumper is more for looks to show off the back cover

And bought.
Lets see if these go on backorder as well.

I also ordered one. That Nexus 4 stock alert app actually worked! Looks like it is shipping soon as it says delivered in 3 to 5 days.

Only $5.95 right now because it doesn't ship until 12/30. For that price I bought another case to hold me over until I get it. So I have a TPU KaysCase and Bumper for less than the Google play bumper would cost.

Pure luck on my part - I just checked it 10 minutes ago, couldn't believe it said in stock - ordered immediately. I like that the bumper apparently is fantastic quality, and still shows the beauty of the nexus 4.

Yeah I bought one and immediately had buyers remorse.. I submitted a cancel request, I rather wait and see how the 6$ bumper from amazon looks on the actual phone. 27$ is just so much money for half a case lol

Thanks! I got one! And to think I almost went to ebay to get one

I'd say the bumper would protect from side/corner impact better than a plain TPU due to the harder outer ring dispersing pressure over the soft core. Falls off the back/front variety would be about equal assuming a flat surface. A thicker TPU case could easily sway all categories in its favor. Obviously the bumper wouldn't protect a rock to the back at all and neither would work on a rock to the front.

Could get here Friday

Yeah, expensive, but It will get here before the 2 other cases I ordered from Amazon.

i woulda got this immediately if it was in stock 2 weeks ago or so. now i have a rearth slim on the way and will probably get the diztronic tpu. can get both for the price of the lg bumper.

jest order 2 units tnx

Just got one, awesome. Actually considered buying it on eBay for $70~.

I just really hope my headphones fit this; otherwise, I'm not sure if it's worth it.

Just got one as well, got the Rearth slim but this bumper looks amazing and the slim barely protects the phone
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Awesome, I just bought mine. I swear this phone is coated with teflon or something. It literally SLIDES of any table I put it down on. I thought I was crazy at first when my phone kept falling off the middle of my living room table, my nightstand, and even when I went to get a haircut. I decided to check it out and determined that if the surface you are resting the phone on has even the slightest bit of grade (not kidding, even .0001%) the phone will gradually slip towards the edge and fall. This bumper better be grippy or I will be annoyed...

Dropped phone = new case (pics)

so a few weeks back i dropped my phone in a parking lot with small, lose gravel rocks. i like a naked phone but this damage made me want a case. i don't like bulky stuff so i went with this slim case from ebay. its 0.5mm thin.
what i love about the case is that its fingerprint and smuge free. and i just like the look better.
pics of the damage.
ouch
ouch
case and phone

Ouch indeed. But that case doesn't protect top and bottom from those little rocks!

haha i know... just hope i dont drop it again lol

Sorry bout the damage. I use to think I wouldnt like a big bulky case until I got one. Its alot easier to hold I dont know how many times ive dropped my phone laying in bed. Not to mention my hands dont cramp anymore either. Something that small I would be worried about the shock from dropping it would transfer right to the phone. Will save from chips and whatnot but a hard enough drop I think it would transfer to where it counts, the screen/glass. I dont know how many times I dropped my s3 onto the concrete. Using a case with a silicone core and a hard skeleton definitely saved it. Still looks brand new right out of the box. My .02
Edit:
Check out the seidio convert. You might like it. It has the active I think its called at its core. A minimalistic case much like your but its also has a silicone you can wrap it in and then a hard skeleton on the outside. Nice because when your at home you can take off the rugged elements and have it in the slim case. Once again my .02

I bought that same case actually, but mine doesn't fit with the battery cover on. Such an awesome case, but doesn't feel like it protects the phone TOO much.

Nothing, you don't have to. Won't interfere with anything.
If you can't stand the look of it: take it off.
If you want some added protection: leave it on. I'm with this camp :good:

I have one of those cases as well. Don't you feel that its too slippery? Kinda makes me scared of dropping it.

I actually use 3 different cases for different occasions.
1. Spigen slim armor if I'm outside all day
2. Regular tpu for around the home and office
3. Wallet case when flying (folds into a stand and has pockets for id cards)
Buy a few more cheap case types if you can so you wont be stuck in one particular type

I'm using a desmay case which I think is 0.4mm thin, looks similar to the one you got

I have never used a case on any of my phones. My 2 year old threw my s4 across the room the other day. Luckily it was on carpet so nothing happened to it. After looking at thousands of cases on ebay I just decided on the neo hybrid. I hate cases/covers....

Ringke flex tpu case

Just saw this pop up on Amazon so I ordered a smoked grey one.
I loved ringke cases on all my nexus phones. Very good quality. I have the Samsung flip cover case, generic hard plastic case from eBay, and the Incipio dualshine pro case. I prefer the wallet case right now. The hard plastic case from eBay fits great and keeps the phone super slow and sleek but provides almost no protection.
The Incipio is a tad bulky since it's dual layer protection.
I'll let u all know how the ringke is.

I went through two already the bottom left corner of both of them were warped. It fit and felt good everywhere except the bottom left ...good luck with yours.

My bottom left is warped also.. other than that case is good

Mine's expected to arrive on the 1st. Never used this company before but seems pretty slim so shouldn't add too much bulk. I don't drop my phones...seriously! My concern is scratching while sliding on a hard surface.

This Ringke case is nowhere near as good as the similar model cryatal case I have for my note 4, as you can see it only has a 3.5 star rating on Amazon. It has a feel of a $3.99 case. But right now there are only a few cases to chose from, so what can we do.

Really like the ringke
Here it is with full screen protector on

Decent case
I received my case on Saturday and I am pleasantly suprised with it. I needed a case because the UAG case I ordered has been put on back-order. I received the smoke edition and it gives my phone (black) a sleek unique look. I've read a few people had warped cases but mine was fine and provided a good snug fit. Case doesn't add bulk to phone and fits my hand well. Keep in mind it is a gel case so it wont protect the phone from a lot of drops but is an excellent case for me until my UAG case comes in. In addition it was only $12 and free 2 day shipping.

Here are some pics of the case you requested.

I don't know about anyone else but the top of my phone doesn't fit securely into the lip of the cover. I can literally run my thumb across the top of the case to separate it from the phone. That's means big trouble if I dropped the phone. If you get this case you still have to be wary of damage if dropped because no way it'll will stay in this case so this should be temporary until you can get a better case ASAP. Really a shame because Rearth cases are normally pretty good.

Just got mine. Very impressed. Great case. Fits tight. Highly recommended.

Love the concept and look. Got mine last week, power button doesnt line up, spen cant be pulled out inless you pull up on the case directly on top of the spen, ir blaster doesnt line up, barely holding the entire top lip. This thing is worth 2 bucks if that.
One good thing i wrote them an email and they said that i received a fluke and they sent me a new one today for free claiming it will fit better. We shall see and i hope so cause i really like it especially how nice and slim it is.

sounds like you got the same "flukey" case I got, but I didn't even bother contacting them I just chunked it in a draw and put the incipio case back on until I can find something thinner that'll actually fit to use. Maybe I'll give them a chance to redeem themselves with a replacement case.

I had a ringke case for my Note 4 and the first one was warped on one side. Clearly an issue they have. Replacement was excellent.

Quick update . Have had this case for a week now and I have no desire to order anything else except the flip wallet. Nice and tight and feels good in the hand. $13 is a good deal for this.
