Nov 30 availability. ;-(
I've been rocking the Ringke Fusion on my N4 for about 2.5 years now. Great case. Although I'm now hoping they release a version for the 6p with a solid black bumper + clear/smoke back. I don't like the clear bumper style they also carry, just looks a bit tacky to me.

I always found the N4 one to be ridiculously fat. The polycarbonate layer adds like 3mm easily to an N4 which wasn't that thin in its generation.

Yeah it does, but stylistically I prefer it; exposure in the back, protection on the sides. Its simply the clear sides that i dont like. We'll see. Might just go for one of the Adopted cases for now. Ringke cases are cheap enough that i wont mind switching later. Hopefully they will be thinner than the old N4 one though :S.
I've used them on the N6, note 4, and xperia Z3, and they have all been beautifully thin. some of the thinnest cases I have ever used. and they have even survived drops on cement floors in places like walmart and lowe's lol. i never tried the one on the nexus 4 so i can't compare.
of course I am talking ONLY the Ringke fusion. I have never tried any of their other style of cases but i hear they aren't as good.
Bleh they just emailed me telling me they won't meet their Oct 30th ship date. Looks like Nov 30th is the real date now. The thing that bugs me about this is that they decided to mark it as shipped so they get the money then they emailed me. I guess I will have to get a cheap TPU case or something in the meantime while I wait.

Their amazon page sure leaves alot to be desired. All they do is post a picture of the phone, not a single picture of the case they are selling. I won't buy a case without least seeing it first.

Hope so! The fusion was my favorite N6 case. Tested over 10 cases before settling on it too.
I get the feeling that so many manufacturers used leaked images to base their designs on, and next thing you know... SURPRISE! Laser rangefinder. Back to the drawing board.
I asked them if they are canceling all cases for the 6p and it seems they are

It's back on Amazon with 11/30 as the ship date
So I emailed them asking if they were going to sell the case still or what. They told me they are trying to resolve issues with their manufacturer. In response to that I asked if it was worth putting in an order and this is what they said:
"Honestly, I would wait to avoid complications. We know that we are keeping the original in stock day of November 30th so far. So I would say place your order closer to the beginning of November. I hope that this information helped."

I bought one of these for my dad's One S and it is one of the most minimal and good looking cases I've ever used. The textured back is brilliant and feels great but the top and bottom edges aren't protected that well.
Still for £5.25 you can't go wrong.

The seller states "100% Nillkin Original Genuine New & Retail Box IN STOCK" and is pretty high rated so I just took their word and ordered it.
This is the official nillkin page: http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=2960&page=1
Ordered one myself, looks really good quality. Bunch of people selling them on eBay for $7 or so which is good
Thats an awesome case, but i hate it when they leave the top and bottom unprotected. Thats why ive gone tpu.
Might give it a try in future though.
Looks great but the cases ship from China and take 3 weeks to arrive according to the expected delivery times.

The top and bottom doesn't bother me. I prefer to use my phones naked but feel like I need some protection for the back of the N4. I ordered a Ringke slim case and now this. I'll probably pick up an inexpensive TPU case as well and be set
Now if only I could get my phone
That is a nice looking case! As others have stated though, they should have put a few pennies more of plastic to cover the two most prone areas to drop damage aside from the corner! I'm a big fan of the silicone + hard cover combo cases like Otterbox and Casemate make and have been waiting for one of them to put out a case, but it's taking too long and this is a case I'd consider IF it had covered the top/bottom
Still leaning towards the bumper... but this is pretty close to what I'd want!
I had this case for my 4X HD, top notch. They feel great in hand as well. Excellent quality.

I was going to get the brown case until somebody mentioned that the top and the bottom aren't covered. I've been waiting for a brown or green cover for the longest time, but none of the TPU covers have these covers.
Are there any cases available to buy that will protect the phone against drops?

Cute.
It's a great question, as I don't see (m)any cases that protect against drops on the market right now.
it's pretty obvious there are not, we are all trying to get otterbox and uag to make one for us which would hopefully help with drops. but a easy search for any case at the moment, would result in no good cases available.
Just came across this on amazon. No feedback on the nexus 4 version as it hasn't been out yet, but I figure for $15 shipped, it looks like the best of any available cases.
Oh, I can't post links yet. Here's a bit.ly link: amzn.to/XvWCO3

Says in stock Dec. 9th., and according to amazon, Delivery Estimate: Thursday December 13, 2012 - Monday December 17, 2012 by 8:00pm. I went ahead and got one anyway, and again for the price it is essentially a temporary case.
On a related note, I just heard back from otterbox:
Unfortunately, we do not have plans to develop a case for that device at this time. I would recommend keeping an eye on our website, otterbox. com, and Facebook page, as they will have the most up to date information for every new release.
Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any additional questions.

TPU cases do NOT work perfectly fine for drops UNLESS those drops are very minor. If you drop a phone with TPU case from waist up, chances are things might not look so good once you pick your phone back up.
Seidio has confirmed some cases for the Nexus 4.

I think the Active series is a more drop friendly case. Probably get one of these or the Ballistic.

Hello fellow N4 owners, I have seen many reviews of the poetic bumpers but had not seen any for this particular one i found on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B199960/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I recently received it and I have to say it is a quality product, The packaging in came in looks exactly like the one from the Play Store but without any Google branding. I have had it on since yesterday and so far so good, I will post pictures of it when I get home from work.
Hmm.. I think this belongs in the Official replica thread mate.
that's good to hear, i just ordered the same one yesterday.
Just got mine in the mail and put it on. It's really nice. I can't compare it to the Google bumper as I've never used or seen one. But this one is good. The buttons work well, the cutouts are perfect, and I don't feel like I'm going to break my phone.
Definitely worth it. I'll be happy to answer any questions if anyone has some.

if you cant decide then it means you should get both. its a good ideal to have a case that protects the back on days you need more protection.
for those that have the bumper, does it look like the plastic will peal from the rubber layer? also i read some amazon reviews that people were saying some 3.5mm audio jacks dont fit with the case. Can anyone confirm this?
I just received mine yesterday...I like it...though it's way too smooth and slides out my hands easily...I'll probably buy a Poetic and the official one too, or wait a bit more and see what else comes out for it.
Any flex in it?, post pics

I'm waiting for mine to arrive, all the reviews at amazon say its a great case that looks and feels just like the oem from google but I also ordered the Ringke Hybrid Fusion just in case I didn't like this one. Pics anyone?
The official will feel like the replica so you'd be better off not buying the official one if this one is not of your liking.
I ordered this a few days ago. Abacus24-7 sent the wrong item and I received a folio case. When contacted, they responded very quickly saying they would send the right item and haven't asked me to send back the wrong one.

Pre ordered the Moto X Pure. But looking for a nice tpu or bybrid case. Usually, there's a lot of cases available for a phone before the phone releases. But not the Pure/Style. I know there's a a few on amazon etc... But those cases are junk. Cheap made and will fall apart in a week. I see that incipio has one and ugly otterbox. But never really liked incipio and otterbox. But where are, seidio, Griffin, Belkin, UAG, Spigen???
I doubt UAG will have a case for the moto x pure but I would love it if they did.

Most of the high quality, big name companies didn't make for the previous 2nd Generation model, so they probably aren't for this. Maybe they have some kind of pay to play scheme and Moto isn't paying.

People seem to like the variant of it for the Moto G or whatever. The Amazon reviews are about the best feedback you're going to get for the moment. I bought a number of $3-4+shipping cases myself. I don't feel like buying a $30 Incipio case at the moment... And my old phone is still using a cheap case I put on it back in 2012, so I've had good experiences with the cheaper ones anyway.

It will hold. I have had that case for quite a few phones. It is just a bit bulky. I like it for phones under 5 inches and it was OK on the 2014 moto X.

Has anyone seen any cases like the flip shell for the Moto G? Most of these add to the already bulky look of the phone (and don't protect the screen).
I ordered this one (http://amzn.com/B013HSX5L2). I'm actually looking forward to the transparent back. I got the Ash wood back.
I ordered this case before my MXP arrived and had it waiting. I wish it was a little snugger fit, but it'll do for $8 shipped until something better comes along.

I just got my Moko. I'm not a fan. So far it seems well made, but the holster is backwards when I wear it on my left side.
In addition, it's off-center, so I'm always putting the phone in the wrong way, and the phone can't go in with screen facing out, which makes the the much more stable holster clipstand useless.

Hi,
Just received the Incipio DualPro case. Fit is good, buttons respond well.
Decent dual layer protection. Back is a little slick/slippery.
I'll use it for a while and see how I like it,

Here it is: http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...ualpro-case-motorola-moto-x-pure-edition.html
I got the incipio octane and i really like it. The incipio dual pro is too slick to hold on to though
Does anyone have a pic of the Incipio Octane with frost back?
I'll give you a thank for it lol
Are there any bumpers besides the one that comes in the box..preferably TPU? The one that comes with the phone is a hard plastic that makes the vibration super loud on a desk, but I also don't want to cover the case with a full back.
Anybody found one?

I don't know if I trust them with their estimate.
I got the bumper for my nexus 6P and pixel 2xl and it was my favorite.
I wanted it for my 3xl, which I ordered on announcement day last year, but by the time it was available I had bought a slew of other cases and didn't feel like spending any more. Especially since I only had plans on keeping the phone for a year.
I once again ordered the 4xl on announcement day and I'm trying to be patient but I've already ordered 3 other cases so they need to get with it and finish the bumper case already. A discount code would be nice too as it's not the cheapest case in the world.
Just checked their website again, looks like their bumper cases are now available for pre order with shipping around the end of November (so long goes the "early november" time frame they told me)

Totally agree with you here. Their website is now open for pre orders for the 4 XL but doesn't ship till the end of November, which is far too late for most people since other people would already have gone with some other case at this point.
I got a clear case temporarily hoping the bumper one will come out within the next week or so but looks like that won't happen at all :/
Just pre-ordered mine. Said Nov 29 estimated ship date.
+1 to everyone that recommended. Had it for my pixel 3xl and it's the best. Only negative the white won't stay white forever.
FYI. Case shipped today!

Please let us know how you like it.
I'm a big fan of these but as I've stated previously, I've already purchased (and gotten free) some other cases and I just don't need another.
And I'm never spending $40 so I have to pay the $5 shipping, which is annoying for a $25 item.
TIA

For something other than Rhinoshield, check out XXXXX. It's a case with a transparent back. I am assuming you didn't want a full case in order to preserve the looks of the phone. In that case, this could be a good alternative.
It has protection on the edges so that the phone can take a few drops easily. Plus its cheaper than Rhinoshield.

Thanks for the rec.
I was sent the Schnail case that some got for free and that's my "protection against all circumstances" case. It's surprisingly great!
I just ordered the Rhinoshield bumper case and should have it by Wednesday and that was my favorite on a few of my recent google phones.
I'm using my google fabric case since Saturday and I like it too.
I also have the ESR Mimic, which might be my favorite. The combo of slimness, tempered glass back and grippy tpu bumper is really nice.
I know, at the very least, the bumper will yellow eventually but it is a very nice case.
I also got a deal on the Totallee slim frosted clear and it's pretty cool too. Absolutely the slimmest case ever.
I obviously have a sickness that's shared by many on these forums. Please pray for me. Lol.

I used the Rinke on my Pixel 3XL and never had any issues. Dropped a few times, no damage.
I've tried a few cases with this Pixel 4XL but I'm back to the Rinke!
Also have the ESR mimic on order.
I got my rhinoshield case today and it's of course what you would expect. Fits perfectly and if minimal as can be. The buttons are crisp and very very easy to identify which I truly appreciate.
In short if you like a minimal bumper case that shows off your phone without taking anything away from it, look no further.
Anyone heard anything on the Ringke Onyx? Had this on my 2XL and 3XL, but they don't make it (yet) for the 4XL. The Fusion looks like too much for me and possibly a lint trap. I reached out to Ringke, but it's the weekend so won't likely hear anything back until next week. May have to start with the Spigen Rugged Armor.
I bought the UAG Plasma, its a little heavier than the Rinke but fits great and looks like it would be plenty of protection from a fall.
The crashguard has a lot more texture than last year

I absolutely agree!
So glad I ordered one. I had it for my nexus 6P and my pixel 2xl and loved it. Skipped it on my 3xl as I had too many cases and now I have it for my 4xl and the fit, look and protection is top notch. Highly recommend.
I have bought too many cases again so I try and spread them out and use them all.
I like the esr mimic. It feels and looks great with the tempered glass back.
The Totallee frosted clear case is scary thin, but feels great in your hand. Only protection is from scratches if laid on it's back.
The Schnail case I got for free and it's actually quite good. Incredible protection but I don't have much use for it.
I also got the google fabric case, which I also had for the 2xl and 3xl. It's not as good for the 4xl. The feel of the fabric is better but the fit is not as good. It's not as snug as the past 2. A little disappointing actually.
I wish they would hurry up and release it into the Amazon store. The one for the smaller 4 is there but not for the XL.
