Just found these cases on Amazon. I've always been a big fan of these. I've never had the heavy duty holster case before but I've had several of the Unicorn Beetle cases and have loved them. It seems they always have a tight/snug fit that protects the phone nicely with easy-to-use buttons, although I'll hold judgment until I get my case and phone in.

Just so you know there is already a case thread, & I did post about this one and a holster thread a couple days ago. Looking forward to it for sure.
Looks nice hope it gets an AF cutout
I have had great luck with Supcases on other phones and tablets. Love the fitment and the rubber last forever.
Looks like the pictures for both cases on Amazon have been updated. They look really nice and don't interfere with the auto focus sensor. Unicorn Beetle Slim and Pro
Edit: I believe they also added new colors
I like both of them, but more leaning to the slim model. I like the bigger one, but I am always afraid the screen protector will affect screen usage. Anyone have any experience with how the built in screen protectors feel?

Good point. If I really wanted to I could peel off the included one and go with a tempered glass protector.
Looks neat but man that must add some bulk to an already big device
Anyone know anywhere to buy these apart from on Amazon as they wont ship to Australia?

I'm actually waiting for a tank case, since I don't care about added bulk. I find it more reassuring. Problem is, the tank case makers don't seem to have committed to making cases for the 6P. Griffin, Ballistic, Trident, and OtterBox are out. Seidio is making one, but I'm not sure which one. I'm hoping for the CONVERT case. Other than that, options seem VERY limited. : /

Yeah, the unicorn beetle cases are absolutely insanely tough. I've thrown my g3 across the room many times and across the asphalt and concrete plant in the case doesn't even have any scratches. Very hard to get off but I don't know that I'll ever use another case again.

Yes, although the built in screen protector is pretty nasty. Easy to remove by pushing it out of the frame and scraping off the adhesive. I have one on my g3 and the buttons are open, but that's probably because the way the g3 sits. Looking at the version for the Nexus it looks like they are completely covered.

This is what I did for the iPhone version. I couldn't stand the built-in protector for more than a day before I ordered glass.
I preordered this case about a month ago and absolutely need this case. After using one on my Motorola nexus 6, and doing construction work for a living its my go to case. I don't know how much longer I can wait for this to ship.... Seems like the date keeps getting pushed back on Amazon.

Only the pro has the built-in plastic protector. Buttons are covered, but still just as effective/responsive. IMO from personal experience, the pro version is complete overkill because the standard cause does such a great job with almost no perceived bulk. Pro only wins out over the standard version if you expect to drop your phone from an extreme height like 15 feet or so. If you, like many, like UAG cases, you'll love this one.

Just bought an N4. There are a lot of comments here about various screen and body protectors. I prefer the Otterbox Commuter for my phones, but they don't make one for the N4. I'm considering the Rearth Ringke SLIM case and the Halo HD or Spigen SGP Ultra Crystal. Does this case look good on the N4? Does it offer good protection?

The SLIM cases will offer some minimal protection against bumps and dings on the back, sides and corners but the top and botton on the phone are left exposed. These cases are made for those who want minimal bulk not maximum protection. I have the black and white and they look good on the Nexus 4.
I don't use screen protectors as I never get a clean install and my OCD gets the better of me but when I did Spigen and BSE were my choices.
Because the N4 is glass all around, isn't more protection better? What's the equivalent of the Commuter series? Have you had any problems with scratches and dings with your SLIM case?

The case offers more protection than a bare phone and being my phone is just a week old and I am careful with it so far so good. I also have a couple of cruzerlite TPU cases if I want a little more protection.
Get a bumper. The back is too sexy to be hidden under a case. Bumpers provide sufficient protection to prevent the back from cracking.

Hmm there are only two choices to choose from.
1) Official LG Bumper: https://play.google.com/store/devic...ExMSwiZGV2aWNlLW5leHVzXzRfYnVtcGVyX2JsYWNrIl0.
I personally have this. It has its pros and cons.
Some of its pros are that... the buttons are AMAZING to use. It will make your normal buttons feel so much better because it has a "click" to it where other cases do not. Some of the cons are that it does slightly make your phone bulkier, and that there is a possible design flaw where the usb cracks. Google does refunds if this happens.
Alternatively, if its too pricey. You can give a try for one of the replicas which are of the same quality (XDA accessories has a whole thread on this).
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Bumper...Sleeve/dp/B00C7RTSQ6/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_t_1_DQZC multiple colors.
2) Poetic Bumper http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Border...qid=1367771724&sr=1-1&keywords=poetic+nexus+4
Pros: Not as bulky as LG bumper
Cons: might not be as pretty as the official one, no click on buttons.
Both are great at great prices (especially the replica for the lg bumper). Its hard to decipher accessories because you never get an opportunity to try them out in person before buying. You can check out videos on YouTube, I'm sure there are a bunch of reviews out there.

I've bee reading some of the other forums on here, and I am having a hard time choosing what screen protector and case to use (which is a good thing, I guess). I am trying to decide between Zagg, Ghost Armor, and the Spigen Glas.t (do I get the SLIM or tR). Which one of these is best? Do they all protect the phone from scratches and drops about the same?
As far as cases go, whats the best case? I've been looking at the Otterbox Commuter and was dead set on getting it until I saw the Spigen Neo Hybrid case. Will they both protect the phone from slight drops? If you have the Spigen, are the sides raised over the edges of the screen and the camera, as to protect it?
I tried Ghost Armor. was not happy with it. Sure it protected nicely and it is nearly indestructible but I found it tended to embed bits of dust that would not come out no matter what I did to clean it.
Today I have a cheap matte protector that cost me about $5 IS on Amazon. Also picked up a TPU case and a hard case.
I always preferred a generic TPU case for my devices... adds very little bulk, makes them easier to grip (less slippage), and better protection than naked...
I am not a fan of those huge, multi-layered monster cases.
Zagg + Otterbox (Commuter) for me. I picked the Zagg because that's the only screen protector Best Buy had and I had to get one right when I got my phone so I can always claim it's had one on for 100% of it's life. Maybe an OCD thing, I don't know.
And right now, Otterbox is the only brand I trust. My Galaxy Nexus was in a Diztronic and cracked from a ~2 foot drop onto concrete. That's probably reasonable, and definitely falls under the category of user error, but it would not have broken with an Otterbox. That's a fact.

For $30 they should be pretty amazing... I can't see myself dropping more than $10 shipped on a case.
I've got a neo hybrid case and ghost armor screen protector. I had GA on my S3. I like the feel of the GA protector, the professional install, and the fact that it has the lifetime warranty. If it even LOOKS like its peeling, I run to the mall and get it replaced.
This is my first Spigen product and I have gotten more compliments on this one than I have on any other case.

I bought a spigen for my Xperia z and it didn't let the proximity sensor work right. You'd get off a call and the screen wouldn't turn back on. Tried to take it off and it cracked. It was pretty thick, not sure if that was the reason but I'll steer clear of one till I know for sure. Especially with the hover features of this phone.

Has anyone heard of the BodyGuradz Pure Screen Protector?
http://www.bodyguardz.com/screenguardz-pure-glass-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-s-4-iv.html
It looks like this may top my list! I read a CNET review where the reviewers daughter dropped her iPhone from like 6 feet and only the screen protector had a tiny crack in the corner! But you get cheap replacements!
I was wondering which case is better than the other?
I'm looking to keep the nexus 4 slim, sexy, and functional.
I narrowed it down to these two cases because of the clicky tactile feels (on the fusion revision) and the original bumper while maintaining slimness.
I got the bumper a week after I received my phone. Well, not the official one, but a replica of the LG one that's sold in the Play Store. The one I received off Amazon seemed fine, but after about a week of normal use, 2 cracks appeared - one on the bottom where the USB is, and the other on the power button.
I think that they appeared because of plugging in the phone and clicking the power button turning it on and off. The material (metal-looking plastic) that surrounds the bumper is flimsy on it's own, and with a certain amount of pressure and heat from the phone, it's prone to cracking.
If you Google around you'll find that a lot of people have had the same problem with the official one. I bought the same bumper for my friend too, but his is holding up well so far, so I'm not sure. The bumper seemed to have a tighter fit on his N4 whereas mine felt a little loose. He has been using it for a couple months as his was the first wave of N4 that were shipped out. I just got mine a little less than a month ago.
Switched over to the Ringke Fusion based on the number of excellent reviews it got both on XDA and Amazon. Took about a week to get here and because it is the revision, the buttons are clicky and give a good feedback. The case also doesn't add much bulk at all. While I do like the heft of carrying around the phone naked, the glass panels scare me. I never used cases on my old phones, but then again, they were plastic and metal. They sure could take a hit!
The Fusion makes the N4 feel more solid as it is, and it works well with wireless chargers. The only complaint I have about it is the back clear plastic tends to dirty quite easily, with scuffs, fingerprints. But then again, who takes time out of their day to gander at the back of the phone. Sure it's pretty but you'll be spending more of your time messing around with the front.

I remember when i bought my N4, I kept buying different bumpers because either they were too tight [messed up my screen protector], too bulky or did not protect my phone good enough. In January, I bought Ringke Fusion; been using it since then . Its not one of those cheap bumpers, you will definitely feel the quality. Its fits the phone very well and you wont feel the size of it in your hand or in your pocket.

LOL I would personally get the Fusion, and yes, most bumpers online are replicas even if they are in LG packaging. The normal bumpers cost about 20bux (USD) so that's a good gauge in authentic or not.
There's a thread somewhere comparing the packaging but basically, if there's a holo sticker on the back, mine is square that reads "Original accessories by LG".

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.

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 second this case. for the same reason. why get such a beautiful phone if your just gonna cover it up
It gives very good access to the buttons, actually making them easier to press.
Although I have yet to actually test it out with a drop, and hope i never do, but just in case.
DROP NOO!!!!!

I agree to the hope I never do, had a 8gb nexus 4 with some cheap cover, dropped, bye bye screen.
I now have a 16gb Nexus 4, with a ballastics gel + shell cover, it works really well.

LOL there is that, ut I am use to the old motorola nextels. Just doesn't seem that long ago to me.
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.

I think I found the best all around case, the seidio surface case. Its like 30$ on eBay, and flat out amazing.

I love my ringke with polycarbonate back. Buttons are A1. The PC hasn't scratched. And it's ten UK pounds
By backwards engineered alien technology.....
Purchased the VENA clear case. I was looking for a Ringke fusion type case, I but couldn't find one so I went with this option. This is an excellent alternative. I'm very pleased. Very sturdy, fits perfectly (even with tempered glass screen protector) and it's non slippery, while maintaining a minimalist profile. This is just my personal opinion. I couldn't ask for more.

I love it as well, my only two annoyances are the scratches and fingerprint magnet, which is found on pretty much every clear/glossy case.
Is this case rigid? How large is the headphone/USB cutout for larger cables?

no, is a slim hybrid with hard plastic on the back and flexible tpu bumper as far as the cut outs go, they're pretty big i have not had any problems plugging in different cables

Where you buy from?
Im on Amazon, im seeing VskinCl and Retain models, which one did you get?
I just got the incipio octane in the mail yesterday. I guess its originally 25 but someone Herr posted a link with a code that made it 11 total so I grabbed it. People were saying they really liked it, imo its decent but nothing to go crazy about.
I was thinking about picking up something else. Had my eye on the cruzerlite bugdroid case. Then I seen this post. Not sure what to do.

Why not just link to the product you purchased?
Seems like he's talking about this one. I have one on the way. I had a similar case for the Droid Mini, and Turbo. They hold up well, and no matter how clumsy I may be, I never managed to crack a screen. Hopefully this one treats my X just as well.
Thanks...
....Thinking of ordering one, I have a cruzerlite bugdroid on the way, seen it on the 6p, it looked nice, so I ordered one for this phone.

Just ordered mine a few days ago, my only concern is the TPU turning yellowish over time so I opted for the black border, but I have a white/silver frame :/
The Incipio case has a frosted back and silicone bumper and is running at $14 on sale right now, might go for that one too

I don't really like the bugdroid on this phone. The thickness of the case, coupled with the cutouts for the buttons makes it hard for me to press the buttons sometimes. That's why I ordered the Vena case for this phone.
I'm still liking the VENA, I use it for more rough handling like outdoors or exercising... Most days at the office I prefer the PLESON tpu case, vile which is more flexible and has a slimmer profile

I've been using the hybrid case for a few months, very happy with it.

Probably the best TPU case for this phone
I posted a review/overview of the Vena VskinTPU cases on Youtube that I cant link because XDA thinks I'm a new user for some reason. I have had mine since the video was mad and alternating carrying them has kept them from yellowing at all. Just perfect TPU implementations. Not a lot of added bulk, good drop protection, and laser-accurate cutouts. They have been a real surprise.
Search 'Moto X Pure 2015 clear TPU' on Youtube to watch it.
