looks good.. but for that high of a price for a case, i'm hesitant, because the only cases i've ever bought were for the nexus 7 (both versions) and those either cracked or broke apart with normal wear.
Yeah, it is a touch expensive. I bought the revised official bumper case for my Nexus 5, and it's still in fantastic condition. It was $35 on Google's old store, as well. I got the version with the fatter, actually usable buttons.
I do also have quite a love for Tech21 cases, but I got the one for the Nexus 5 used, so the clear plastic is unfortunately scratched up.
i love the clear plastic look... but i find a lot of them start turning yellowish, did you have that problem?

I'd like to get this case for my black 6P but $35 is s joke, a case shouldn't cost 7% of the price of the device. The case reminds me of the cool Nexus graphics they had on the Galaxy Nexus and the I/O Galaxy Tab 10.
I don't suppose we'll be lucky enough for it to hit Amazon or eBay for less. Maybe there will be China copies soon!

Cheaper than getting Nexus Protect ^.^
I bought one of each. I like the felt like back of the official one and I also bought the adoption one
Still waiting for a wallet case. Need something to hold ID and CCs since I've done away with my wallet.

Well UAG cases are usually $40 plus if you don't like it Google is really good about returns so that's why I bit the bullet and bought 2 of their cases. I still have others coming from Verus, and some other no name TPU cases. I want to protect the sexy phone in style because it looks really nice with the microfiber or whatever on the back
---------- Post added at 07:24 ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 ----------
I just ordered myself an adopted clear one too because the other one I bought is for my wife. I think I'm good now on cases after getting 8 of them.
I didn't have any issues with it turning yellow. It was actually a hard plastic case, hence the scratches. Apparently toothpaste can buff out scratches, but everyone forgets to mention that you shouldn't use the gel kind, or any toothpaste with flavoring. Who even has plain paste-style toothpaste?
I got the carbon one ...
I ordered the Carbon with the phone. Its expensive, but looks great. Cant wait to have it and the phone together in my hands
I got the carbon for my aluminum 6p
Ordered the Quartz to go with the Frost phone.
If they could take this case and make it a wireless charging case instead. that would be awesome.
You guys made me but this case. Hit the quartz

Cruzerlite cases generally hug the phone very tightly, requiring a little bit of faff when they are new to get them on perfectly lined up. They never tend to accumulate daily hand grease either.
I find it almost impossible to get mine off my s3 without it ripping off it's back cover with it!
Undecided whether to grab one or a few of these, or get the bumper...or both, decide when I have them both!
I'm thinking teal too @sickred...from seeing one for the GNex, does it look girly?
I loved the green one on my white s3, but somehow I don't think green will look right with a black phone, but I dunno.
Using this on my gnex. Gotta get some as well for the n4. I'm a caseaholic
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
They have very high quality cases but I don't like the side ridges as they add bulk to the phone and in the past the fit caused my screen protectors to peel. Would be nice if they came out with a really slim one. The closest I found was their first one with all the little Andys on it. Unfortunately the protector had some rough spots on the edges that I had to melt with a lighter to smooth down. Company was great about it though as the owner have me a new one for free. I think I've purchased a total of five of their cases and gave one to my dad for his extended battery Verizon model. They were one of the only case maker that actually had cases that fit the bigger battery.
Stupid android on back fail
I've got a couple of cruzerlite cases for my sgs3 and they are awesome. Just enough ridge on the top to save the screen if it falls on a flat surface, and its slim and durable. I'm going to preorder at least one for my wife's new N4, but since they aren't available I'm also going to have to get a Cimo case. (They are pretty terrible compared to Cruzerlite - something about the material just sucks. I've got 3 for my SGS3 that I haven't used since I got my Cruzerlites. But they'll do the job in the meantime..)
I absolutely love the look of Cruzerlite cases...but they seem to be lacking in protection compared to the plain TPU cases you can find on eBay. For instance, it seems that the power button is not covered and is simply protruding out of the case. A drop on that side would easily damage it. Also, I'm not sure that these cases have lipped fronts as normal TPUs do and that's a huge deal for me. If I'm wrong about either of these things, please feel free to correct me, but until Cruzerlite matches the sexiness of these cases with protection, then I won't be purchasing one.

Well, that makes my Amazon Wishlist of Nexus 4 cases obsolete. Need to get this one!
looks very nice, but its too expensive for me at the moment!
(UK) £15.99 + £5.99 shipping!!! how on earth can they charge that much to ship it?
It does look nice. Still waiting for the phones to come back into stock and hen I will buy one...
I ordered a bumper on the 17th, got given a delivery estimate of the 19th (didn't expect it to arrive on the Monday) Hoped it would turn up Yesterday or today but on checking the status it had moved to 'Pending' on the Play Store Gave Google a ring and the guy I spoke to reckons they are sold out and on backorder, despite showing as 'In Stock' on the Play Store (UK)
Bumper is def worth the wait! Sexy piece that def helps enhance the protection of the phone too!
looking forward to picking one up.

I would have laughed if he broke the black glass when throwing it around. They do look good, hope the phone sells enough for us to get a choice of bumpers like iPhone users get
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T using Tapatalk 2
I have one of the bumpers on my phone. I love it, even though I hate cases with a passion. It is very premium, the plastic feels more like rubber and the buttons feel like they are a part of the phone instead of feeling like they are a part of the bumper. I would highly recommend one. It makes the phone a tic (mm) wider but it makes it balance better in the hand. I pulled it off and just holding it without the bumper felt sketchy. There was no texture w/o the bumper on the phone and the balance is different.

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

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

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

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...

You're gonna find dozens of different opinions on this. Everyone has different needs and preferences and few people will have used more than one case.
I've had the Diztronic TPU case. It's not bad. But being a TPU case, it's fairly bulky and I wouldn't call it pretty. I got this one a bit later: http://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10001933/1138601-protective-pc-matte-case-for-lg-nexus-4 Looks and feels better in my opinion and is less bulky. Definitely offers less protection though, but I'm okay with that cause I just like using my phone quite a bit more with this case compared to a TPU one. Doesn't mean you will, though. There is no single best case.
I personally like the S line TPU cases found on ebay, there are only a few bucks and they provide the best overall protection + grip on the sides. Cant complain about 2 bucks.
I'm using this one and love it.

I have used a black S line TPU case from ebay since I first got my Nexus 4 a few months ago. I have dropped it on a couple of hard surfaces over time and it's faired out pretty well and I would recommend them to anyone, also great value for money.
I just got my triple armor hybrid case today and I like it a lot.it feels very comfortable in the hand. The edges aren't deep like the eagle case. Its perfect. Still waiting for my damn mybat tuff case. Its taking forever to get to me. One ended up from Cali to Chicago??? I'm the other way....in Hawaii. The other is just sitting and waiting. Usps is messing up a whole bunch of crap this month. Try the triple armor hybrid its awesome:laugh:
Absolutely love the Ringke Fusion case. It's got a plastic transparent back so you can show off the unique glass back of the Nexus 4 (which is one of the only truly unique and beautiful things about this phone.) also offers a solid amount of protection. Have dropped it a couple times.

I use "Rearth Ringke SLIM White" cover, it's made in solid plastic and it costs 13€ (17.65 $).
For me this cover is one of the best available for nexus 4, there's only one defect it doesn't offer a perfect grip.
Poetic's SLIM case is also pretty awesome, and it leaves the whole screen exposed so you can swipe from the edges (e.g., in Play app). $6 at Amazon...

It gives very good access to the buttons, actually making them easier to press.

I have always preferred tpu or hybrid cases, the hybrids for the nexus 4 were lack luster at best, and out of the tpu cases I found the cruzerlite a2 to be the best. I had the driztroic but I found it to be a little to slippery with its matte finish and the buttons were a little hard to find and push.

Is a decent case and my phone has survived drops without mishap. Like some clear tpu cases yellowing can appear but I find soaking in Windex or a mild bleach solution helps. Besides they are only $7 on amazon so I bought a few.
