Remember the Mofi Pouch

Once again, I just want to remind everyone of the Mofi pouch.
You can see Matias Duarte taking the Nexus 4 out of a Mofi pouch here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=66-4uMQqerA#t=36s
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this since I've used this pouch ever since I bought my Galaxy Nexus. Bought it twice and will probably buy one more when I order the Nexus 4.
I'm not luckyexpress168, just of fan of the high quality product. Here's his/her store link:

Nice. Been using on my gnex a pouch similar to the original Nexus one pouch but this seems better

I bought that as well when I got my Galaxy Nexus but yes, this is thicker and because N4 is 5mm shorter in length, it should fit better than even the Galaxy Nexus.

Which item are you guys purchasing? I don't see Nexus 4 anywhere.

awesome! I was wondering what case Matias was using! Just ordered the "Kangaroo" version (not because I'm Aussie ) http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/36046530...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3419wt_1397 (This should fit the Nexus 4, Nexus 4 is smaller than the SGS3 except for the thickness)

Are these MoFi pouches totally soft or do they have material that provide firmness? If I am not mistaken, the MoFi pouch seems to be just soft fabric.
(I've been using a leather pouch for the Galaxy Nexus, which provides good protection against edge drops.)

Yes they are completely soft, but from my experience with my HOX they are plenty thick enough to protect the screen when I dropped it. Kind of like a synthetic felt kind of fabric which cleans the screen every time you push/pull your phone from the pouch; quite a tight fit though... headphones never really fit in too well. Still, best pouch I ever owned and much better than a bully case. Had a bright orange one myself, sucker for bright colours hope that helps.

I really, really want a Mofi pouch, but I'm not sure which one I should order! What device is closest to the Nexus 4 in terms of dimensions?

To those that keep their phones in pouches, too you guys put the phone and pidgin your pocket or do you keep both in a bag? Random and weird question, I know. I wear Levis 511 and am curious how you guys carry them

It doesn't add too much bulk? I may have to try that.

Nope. But then again I don't use tight fitting jeans. Don't think that would look good on me

I think a Galaxy Nexus pouch would fit the N4.

The tmobile t989-galaxy s2 case is like 4 mm off height wise, but almost spot on everywhere else.
Specs via phonearena.com
Nexus 4- 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm
T989- 130 x 69 x 9 mm

I would agree with that statement. If you watch theVerge video where they are talking to Matias, he pulls the Nexus 4 out of the Mofi Pouch. Since i don't think anyone at Google told Mofi about the specific dimensions, and it's not likely that he has a GS3 since he works at Google, my bet is that he used the Mofi Pouch with his Galaxy Nexus and it fit great via the video.

That's what the first post in this thread says.

Any good kickstand cases for S4 ?

I'm looking for something like this :
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Holster...67243950&sr=8-10&keywords=galaxy+s4+kickstand
The design of the case is perfect, not very thick, can kickstand portraid/landscape, and even use it as a hook for a firmer grip. But to me it is a very cheap looking / feeling case I want something more premium with the same functionality ?

I am considering the Seidio Acitve. Before I buy a case, I am looking around a little longer.

check the Puregear site they have one for the galaxy s4

A little on the pricey side, but they make great cases.

I bought the Seidio Active combo w/ kickstand this morning. I had an Active on my Nexus S for 2 years, very durable case...
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using Tapatalk 2

The Seidio Surface case with the kickstand arrived today. I was a little worried about how much the kickstand would protrude, but it's only about 2 mm, so I'm glad I got it. I've also used Seidio cases for many years. My last one (S2) is still as good as new and I've had it since the phone was released for Sprint. Aside from the durability, I use multiple batteries and their cases are quick to take on and off.

Best buy's platinum series of cases are near identical to seidio, but about $20 cheaper. There is one with a belt holster and kickstand. I have it on my s4, and am quite pleased.

there's really not even a case for the Razr i?

really I can't believe any of the good case brands are not making a case for this device

Ye, there is. Look on eBay for an soft case RAZR I. U can get it from there.

I have a body glove dropsuit on mine. It's for the RAZR M, but it fits perfectly as long as you don't mind losing the camera button. It's also very slim, I love it!
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app

It may be the case that you are mistaken in your assertion that there are not cases built for this phone. Might want to case out cases for the Razr M. Some even have a camera button cut-out in case you need one. All depends on your usage case.

Have you looked at PDair dot com?
I ordered from the states, however it was delivered to the UK within a week.

Cheers for the link, I've still got some godwafwul bulky thing on mine that I got cheap off of ebay. Protects the phone, but looks awful and makes it pretty bulky.

i still search for a descent protective case

Also cannot find case which suits and protects well - all that separately yes, but not at once
Bought DC case (model Top30 XXL at local store) which suits very well, but last two milimeters of top part of mobile are going out of the case (corners), so my phone is not 100% safe once it falls in "good" angle. Anyway I like it for this time. Avoid those fake suede cases. Bought one and everytime I needed to pull that damn thing out It turned my pocket "inside out" ....
See dc-cases dot com.

You can get some decent cases for the Razr i on ebay, but to be honest, they suck. No good brands make them.

You can get some pretty cool snap on ones from a website on ebay called headcase.. I bought one, but if you want decent protection, they're not the best, thin plastic.... If you go to pdair.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=motorola+razr+i+xt890&order=name&dir=asc you can get some pretty decent ones, aluminium, rubberized, flip cases, they're in America so not sure about delivery timescale.

Seek eBay. There are a lot of them...

check this one out, its the one i'm using right now and fits perfectly http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310635918980?var=610180588948&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Seidio case
Hi all, just type seidio case for razr m on ebay. I got the Seidio Active Rugged Protector Case from a seller called sfplanet. A two piece case, the inner is made from soft silicon, the outer from a rigid but flexible plastic. Comes from America and costs around £30.00 with p&p but well worth it imo. Had it for nearly 3 months now. Seems very well made, fits perfect with all cut outs apart from the camera button but this does not stop the operation of button. In fact there is a slight ridge of extra silicon exactly where the camera button is which serves the purpose. Feels good in the hand, a lot less slippery. I have dropped it a couple of times but it hasn't left a mark. Have tried to upload some pics, sorry about the quality.

Cool stuff
Some cool stuff are going out. But I really want new roms.

I bought a Razr M otterbox for my Razr i. It fit and everything but it covered up the camera button. I hated that camera button anyway.

All the cheap cases on eBay for the RAZR I are pure junk. I've purchased and tried them all. I'm still looking a quality leather case.

I am using INCIPIO one. It's originally made for Razr M, but perfectly suits Razr i - the only difference is the camera button, but I never use it.
It's very thin (that was mine main criteria) and the material is great!
Plus they ship to Europe! The cover costed me around 25 euro overall.

Few days ago I ordered http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/motorola-droid-razr-m-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case for arroud 18$ on eBay. Before I used Ballistic case for Atrix and in fact it stretched but after almost one year so it's not so expensive to pay few $ for almost one year using.
This one is for RAZRm but I never used hardware camera button so event if sometimes case trigger camera I will disable this button with Tasker or in build.prop.
So my conclusion is: it's better to have good case than crappy (yes RAZRi has really crappy camera button) camera button.

Obliq case - a good copy of uag

I just got this obliq case that i bought from Amazon and wanted to share with you guys my experience with it.
I am a huge fan of uag cases but when i tried to order it i saw that It would only be available on 10th of June. I Decided to wait for it. So i proceeded to buy any cheap case to use for the time i waited and found obliq for only 14 dollars. It seemed to be a complete copy of uag.

http://db.tt/u7yS5HeP
The case is way better than i thought. So good that i will give up buying the uag. Im going with neo hybrid to have two different cases.
The buttons are soft and easy to press. The Overall protection is very good, maybe a bit under uag, since the corners are not as thick. To be honest it looks better than uag, and even my girl agrees with that.
So there you go guys. .a good option for those who don't Wanna pay the full price of uag.

Seems like a pretty solid deal if they're built to the same standard as UAG. Any comment on headphone/USB compatibility? That was a chief complaint with the Neo Hybrid across most reviews I saw.

Well i had no problem using the gs4 headphone/usb and two others here. The microphone and ir holes match perfectly. The case is really good as it is the screen protector that came with it.
I will try it soon with an iloome glass , but i think it will fit.
can honestly say that i am happy with it and will only buy the neo hybrid to have a second case. ..

Anyone tried to use sleeves made for iPhoneX?

I was comparing the measurements between our Essential Phone and iPhone X and I found that their sizes are pretty similar. So I am wondering if our phones might fit in this:
UltraSlim Leather Sleeve Case for iPhone X
Anyone tried or plans to try?

That should work but I'd get the fitBag. It will fit a bit better since it's made specifically for the PH-1. Very high quality leather sleeve with more color options for $25.

Find it better than any of the trash looking cases for this phone. I also have a dragon skin on the back and it doesn't lift it or peel it off
