Does anyone use this kind of ring to help minimize the chance of dropping while holding your phone? I think it is a good idea. I plan to get it to use it with the Rhino Shield Bundle for the 6P when it release in Dec. I was planning to get the Ringke fusion case that I can use a lanyard with.
Here is a review.

Never dropped my phone while holding it... I have a habit of putting it in my lap when I drive and then getting out of car and forgetting its in my lap and bammmm on the concrete... Ordered a car phone holder finally

After using a Nexus 6 for a year I don't need anything like that. Moral of the story you will get used to it. My wife is 5'1" and loves her Nexus 6 and wanted the 6P this year because she would rather use a phablet than a tiny phone.
I had a flygrip pretty much the same concept it was cool but took it off after a while
Thanks but no thanks

Nice.
I just can't see using something like this.
That looks silly... no, just no.
Would be great if the ring size was a little smaller to fit on my middle finger. That way i can just wear my phone on my finger ;')

Unlike a lot of these people, I actually like the idea. 20 dollars is a little steep though.

Lol, I used to do the same thing all the time.
So annoying, I've since trained myself to be aware when stepping out of the car.
As far as this Ring goes, I'm not interested, I think it looks fugly.
At least it's an option for those who might be interested. Options are always good.

So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!
I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

no way it makes it look retro like my old cassette player left over from the early 80's. ill tell you that was the best walkman I ever had. I think it was a jvc.
also looks kinda like a silver cigarette case. though the hinge would be annoying to put in your pocket. ill bet it catches on clothing.
just a thought but I'm a machinist and I'm getting a garage to put my induma milling machine in. I can probably make dies and stamp something like that out pretty easily if I get a press of some kind. even an arbor press will work on thin aluminum. what do you think people would pay for that if I could make it with hinge or belt clip?

depends on the quality, it would need some sort of protective material inside though. So i'm thinking anywhere from $5-15.

if I had a cnc vinal decal cutter I could sell skins for that all day on ebay but a case that needs dies to be cut and the material needs to be trimed precisely for each case well I was thinking id have to make atleast as much as that cheap import case with the inconvenient hinge.

Next week when my daughter takes it though it will be in a Kraken case
I would pick one up, but I don't want to cover up that sexy back of the nexus 4
I'm probably going to put a full body screen protector and not put on a case though that one looks nice. Just got be extra careful. What would be really cool is if they made a Qi inductive case, that charges your phone, that way you never need to charge your phone.

The Nexus 4 has QI charger built into it. I believe it has a range of 40mm... So unless your case is made of metal you will be okay.

They aren't beautiful but for the price, consistent design, thinness, and especially the grip edges, there's few competition from getting the most for your dollar perspective.

Okay someone probably already thought of this, but here is my story...
Woke up this morning and decided to watch some tennis (Wimbledon) but my bedroom TV is broken... There is my GS4 and I know they are covering the matches on YouTube, so problem solved, right? After about 5 minutes of holding the phone while laying down it soon got old. At first propped it up against the alarm clock but the sound was bad and got to thinking what else can I use? Here is my solution...
Items:
One bi-fold wallet able to stand while partially open.
One rubber/silicon/thin-leather bracelet (optional depending on case or lack there of)
Instructions:
Simply open the wallet to form a "V"
Use the bracelet as base to prevent slippage
Benefits:
Of course, totally portable
The "stand" allows many angles to set your phone it at... Your mileage will of course depend on the type of case (if any) and how slippery your wallet/surface/bracelet is
The side benefit to this is, because the wallet provides a direction bounce surface, the volume actually improved and seems to be coming from right behind the screen.
There you have it. Enjoy.
That's a lot of tennis balls.

If you want a decent stand for your phone, check out the Joby griptight micro stand. I think I paid $24 for mine. It's adjustable, and folds up into something small enough to attach to your keys... Great little stand. The "grip" part can also be unscrewed and used with a tripod...

My cost, well almost nothing. The wallet was a gift 10+ years ago and the bracelet was something I picked up a couple of years ago for a couple of bucks. Plus my "stand" works to make the sound "better". Also again totally portable and something I have with me at all time (IE nothing extra to carry).

Thanks, that is a cool looking stand. I've had a couple of stands, all for my tablets which I've used on occasion with my phone. :silly:
The one I presented here is just for a quick, easy, and most of all, portable "stand" to use.
I have run into one problem with my stand which can occur on really slippery surfaces and that's the thing just sliding around. My solution was to actually use my watch and its band (which is rubber) to counter act the problem. Again something I have with me always and technically is no extra cost.

The girl who waited on me when I was buying my v10 was using one on her phone and really liked it.
I was tempted but since I already had my flygrip I decided to save the 14.99 (for a 2 pack in store)
If they had been selling 1 for $7 I probably would have bought it!
It's really the first time I've seen one of this type of product available in store vs online. It's about time!
Glad to hear it's working for you and that it's available with different options online.
Now I have another choice if I want something new!

I picked one up from Amazon while Christmas shopping. I had never heard of them before seeing this thread a few weeks ago.
I have to say, it's an awesome product. Works great as a stand while watching videos, and really helps in handling such a large device. Hitting the second screen with one hand is easy now.

No one has/had any issues with it detaching from the back of our wafflesque surface phones? I like the product and could see using it, but I'm looking for confirmation that it worked on a stock phone without a case.
Thanks in advance for replies.
I have used one on my phone without a case. It worked great. I took it off when I added a Spigen case and have been too lazy to put it back on. My wife is very small and she loves it on her Samsung S3 phone. And yes you can take them off and reuse them over and over. Nice invention.
