I was bored.. my real case hasn't came in yet and I hate the clear look of the supplied bumper
My solution: Plasti Dip
Pros:
Looks better & Feels better than the clear bumper. It gives it a rubbery non slip texture.
Cons:
Not sure how well this will hold up. People paint there entire cars with this stuff so I assume it should last.
I figured I would give it a shot.. See attached pics.
I've got some plasti dip. I may just try this.

thanks, is it as sticki as zagg protectors ? compared to Glass protectors .
Whoever is using PlastiDip, make sure you put 3-4 layers. And it will peel/scuff off since it is removable. But nice work. I ran out of plastidip when I was doing the chrome trim around the car window and emblems.
I put several coats probably about 4. I will report back if I have any issues with it

Looks pretty good. I usually never use a case or bumper (or screen protector, for that matter), but I may just try this as is doesn't take away from the beautiful lines of this phone too much.
Did you do the insides of the bumper? or did you mask it off and if you did do the inside I'm assuming it fits tighter?

I see no point doing the inside. It won't do anything and if anything, I might come off with rubbing when putting the phone in. There might be some overspray but that usually rubs off with fingers.

I am very frustrated with plasti-dipping my devices. It starts to peel and rub off with a week or two with even the most minimal contact.
Yeah, I was so excited about trying this... but have read that it starts peeling quickly if handling and in/out of pocket a lot.
I can confirm that this does not hold up! Already peeling off... It was worth a shot tho
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
I used the plasti dip. So far so good but it's only been on a day.
Sorry, posted in wrong thread...... oops...
Plasti dip won't last because 1. its being handled too much; 2. once something catches the edge, it will start to peel. That is why when spraying, anything that is overspray, it breaks away from the edges.

Are there any cases for the Atrix aside from the offerings from Otter Box, Body Glove and Speck? Not a fan of any of them as I like the minimalist case.
Anything coming out soon???

I have the Speck and it doesnt really add any bulk. Why get a cheap case that will not really protect it from drops?
Yep, hit up Amazon and see for yourself, just search Atrix 2 case and see all the results you get.
my wife was looking for cases for her A2 that she'll be getting soon and there aren't as many cases as we hoped. Hopefully more will come, over time.
I got the TPU case on Amazon. Very happy. Especially for 9 bucks.

Belt Clip
If anyone spots a belt clip let me know. I'm not going with a case with a clip (I've always had defenders) but rather just a belt clip. I can't believe I can't find one
i just got my tpu case in from the link above in matte black it is pretty awesome. it came with a screen protector that doesn't fit but it is better than nothing until i the one that i ordered in.
More about the case:
-so i said i ordered the matte black version of the case, and yes it is matte black but some of it is glossy. I actually like it this way because if you look at the screen, the edges of the case are glossy with blend in with the phone and if you flip it over it is matte black.
-it is a pretty snug fit and doesn't seem like it is going to move.
-almost all the buttons have a cut out except for the volume which i find a little strange because i would have liked it to be uniform, and there is a cutout for both of the microphones on the top and bottom.
overall for 9 bucks i am extremely happy with it and it even came a day early too!

The Otterbox Defender has a clip. I can't offer any opinion on it though. I bought the Otterbox Commuter, which is not as heavy duty and doesn't have a clip. I like it, my only complaint is that the edges and corners attract a lot of lint.

So i said that it is like two toned. the matte black part is really smooth actually. the glossy part is alittle stickier but i haven't had any problems with linkt sticking to the case. considering the size of the phone is does slip in and out of my pocket really well.

I have the same case. Slides out of pockets smooth as silk. No lint problems. It doesn't have that "sticky" rubber feel too it like the otterbox stuff does.
You seriously won't find anything nicer for double the money. It's a great case. Looks like they've added "high gloss transparent" also now to the original matte black and smoke cases.
Ya I saw that too. I like the matte personally. If you want to see the phone itself then the transparent ones aren't too bad but might have a different feel to it. The matte feels smooth but alittle tacky too.

Nexus 4 Diztronic Case Review
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Black TPU
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Smoke TPU
Diztronic Website
Design
5/5
The back of the case has a nice glossy tough black cover. The bottom of the case has a good looking shiny Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. The edges are made of a gelly type of material that makes the case easy to go in, but tougher to take out. This is a plus in my book because it makes the phone seem like it melts into the case. The edges of the case go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". This could be an issue if you use a screen protector, but don't quote me on it. The buttons can be pressed very easily and they aren't stiff at all. The buttons are the most easy to press out of any case I have ever used.
Protection
5/5
This case protects all aspects of the phone while still keeping a thin and light profile. The "lip" on the front of the case will definitely help to reduce the impact on the phone if dropped face first.
Final Verdict
5/5
This is probably the best case I've used so far for the Nexus 4. At $12.99 you get a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case gives you maximum protection, looks, and feel while keeping your beloved Nexus 4 protected.
Good Video man....I ordered my case on the 5th so hopefully it will come in tomorrow...and it looks very good...Im using the clear tpu you had in the video now..but once again good video as it should help others who are thinking about buying the case and since watching the vid i know im gonna be very happy when mine arrives.
good review. I just received mine yesterday, and was extremely surprised on the quality of it for being 13 bucks.
I HATE using cases on my phone due to being a minimalist and enjoying the slim design, but this one just fits perfectly! I enjoy the added gloss coating around the lip that goes on the screen..it creates a nice blending effect with the screen.
I've read a few people mention that the power/volume buttons are a little stiff to press, but honestly, they must be weak af, or they got a defective case. The buttons are extremely responsive with the least amount of pressure.
Forgot to mention that the back of the cases doesn't attract ANY fingerprints. That's a big deal for me because I hate cleaning off the back of fingerprint covered cases.
How's the screen protector? Any cons?
Ordered mine couple days ago. Should be getting it tomorrow

Good review though. Still waiting for my n4, but I'm ordering this case so the phone won't be naked after it is unboxed.
Case is well worth it. Just got mine today. Watch the screen protector putting it on though.

I thought this case was the bees knees until you guys made me remove it to find a few light scratches on the top of my phone. I guess it's the sharp inside lip on the case that's the cause....boooo.

I have the slate and I really like how they shared the original look of the phone with the chamfered edges and making them glossy. As far as scratches go, I already had some before I started using the case just from being in my pocket. Besides that, I can't see those scratches when its in the case. And for anyone to think that this shiny polished edge will never get a scratch on it is absurd. A case is probably the worst thing for it if you ever get some dirt or dust in there.

Right. People are going crazy on spigen and complaining but it's samsung the one that made the soft metal bezel. I have the Capsule case and I love it and yeah I have a few tiny scratches but if you think another case won't do the same thing you are sadly mistaken. I hit my bezel with some polish wax and now you can barely see the scratches. Slapped my case back on and I'm good to go. Not worried about resale value anyway of the device since they have none as it is. I love the case.
Can anyone give me an idea of what this feels like? All the reviews I find are about how you can drop it from such and such height which is cool and all but none of them detail how it feels. Does it feel glass like? Will it start to feel sticky? Does it have a bit of give that makes it feel a bit plasticy?
I have it for my iPhone 6 Plus, I was worried it'd feel sticky too.. but its more a harder rubber... definitely NOT sticky in the least. On the inside, it's a honeycomb pattern (guessing this assists in landing) But it's excellent. I hate full cases and it raises both the front and back on, so it'll never land on the screen or back. but it's still slim, because it's just a bumper.
This bumper + slickwraps will be it for me. Just hoping they get the same dope star wars skins they have for the nexus 6!!
Someone else has a thread on this, but I never really liked the non-glass covers. Having super thin tempered glass is awesome because it gives the same feel and clarity.
I'd have to see the rhino shield in real life to know if it's something I'd rather use over TG.

Oops.. that should be Crash Guard. Bumper on my mind while typing that lol.
I've dropped my phone a few times from waist-height or lil higher. Couple from lap getting out of car. Three of those times my phone has landed flat/near-flat on its' face.
No scratches or any damage from those.
I have a Diztronic TPU case as well. Between that and the Rhino Shield, they've kept my screen intact.
I've had the RS on for so long, I think I've acclimated to it. Still feels very smooth. But I'm sure when I get my 6P, I'll be thinking "oh this is what glass feels like again".... then stick a RS back on it lol.

No, but it's a scenario that if I could just buy one protector it's better. The Rhino shield from what I've seen absorbs a lot of the impact from things. Imagine you accidentally drop your phone onto a rock or something. Your screen protector breaks and you need a new one and if there's too much force the screen below breaks, rhino shield (supposedly) absorbs it and can take the impact from falling on something better. Using a metal ball is just an easy way to show off the situation.

If you could tell me if there's any big difference when you do get it, that would be appreciated. Mainly because $50 is a lot to spend on a bumper+screen protector and I would like to know!
So does anyone know if they're actually making this bumper and screen guard combo (I'd like the back of the phone protector, personally) for the 6p?
I sent them an email and they said they are. Many others have said they got the same email back as well so here's hoping they do.

Yep, they just got back to me confirming they'll be releasing at least the bumper in "upcoming weeks" and that it'll be announced first on their Facebook page.

Curious, Is this bumper annoying to game with?
Extremely happy. Case fits my phone perfect. The cut outs are spot on however I wish the nexus scanner were wider however I'm sure it's something I will get use to.
The case makes the phone feel a lot more solid and not as fragile as it once did. My phone always felt like it was one drop away from being destroyed completely. Spigen did well by not adding a lot of weight to the phone and having the phones buttons cut out well but not perfect. There's not much separation between the volume up and down. It now feels like one large button. The headphone, camera, rear mic and charger are cut out clean with enough space.
The lip between the phone screen and case are perfect where I feel comfortable placing the phone on its screen side and not worry about it being scratched. The lip isn't so large that you feel this huge separation between phone and case.
9/10 imo. Hope this helps. Ask any questions you need.

There are 2 parts, the back is hard but the top, bottom, sides and corners are all softer and rubbery to absorb shock.

Tyvm! When I first saw this case I thought it was kind of ugly. It grew on me to the point I am actually looking forward to this one more than any of the others I already have.

Yeah overall I am very happy but I am not that guy that has several cases. I usually buy 1 and stick to it. I cant complain.

Is that a hairline crack on the bottom right corner of the cutout for the fingerprint scanner? It's faint so I can't really tell.

I literally have less anxiety knowing my phone has a case now. I may contact spigen but I am not that anal. Plus I dont want to go without a case again.
Anyone know how this compares to the Ringke Fusion clear case? I thought they were exactly the same at first, but it looks like the Spigen leaves the whole visor exposed, while the Ringke only has a small cutout. I had to return my Ringke to Amazon because the TPU had a medium sized tear in the corner. I'm wondering if I should get this instead.

Mine has the hairline crack too. I guess it's just a design flaw.

Yup. I got a crack in mine too. Probably how its molded. I spent a couple minutes trying to get it off thinking it was a smudge.
Spigen. They are top notch and you can't go wrong with them. I surely wouldn't let the crack stop you. I don't believe it effects the integrity of the case doing its job

Does the case affect the finger print scanner on the back?

Out shouldn't, Spigen cases have some of the best cutouts and Ive never had any issues with it on their tough armor that I'm using now. The cutout is likely the same size as their other case which would make it ~14.45mm according to my caliper. It's the perfect size in my opinion

If they put out a Slim Armor or Neo Hybrid, I'd buy them! Their "shimmery white" color on the Nexus 6 case was amazing! It was like an iridescent white. Very cool. The Frost N6P would look so damn sexy in one like that.

I have a graphite one after owning a CW Nexus 6 its a nice change. I would like a NeoHybrid in clear ideally but it won't happen

Whew, glad I'm not the only one with that weird line where the fingerprint cutout is. I guess it's there on purpose?

Over at reddit some users are seeing that line too:
reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3sl3iu/just_got_the_spigen_ultra_hybrid_crystal_clear
Interstingly, in the reddit OP's imgur album you can clearly see that there is no crack/scratch before the case was installed. In the later photos the crack appears when the case is on the phone.
Direct link to imgur album: imgur.com/a/pLn4g
Im guessing that the tension introduced to the case when snapping it onto the phone is causing the crack to appear. However, from the few cases I've seen it seems that so far these cases have the exact same small crack at the same position, so it may could be there on purpose. Only the guys at Spigen will know for sure.
I experienced the same hairline crack and contacted Spigen's CS team. They're helpful and sent out a replacement one for me. If you're willing to deal with the short wait time, then i'd say go for it.
