If you mean TPU case (you said rubber case) I reccomend you this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Diztronic-Matte-Back-Black-Purple-or-Pink-Glitter-TPU-Case-Cover-for-LG-Nexus-4-/261137354079
I have matte black and its very good. Not too thick and very good buttons feedback (volume +/- and on/off).
I have this TPU case from ebay. No complaints and its thin.

May not be what you wanted but Ringke Hybrid Fusion Case https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nex...id-fusion-case
I don't even notice mine except that I am no longer afraid of the phone slipping out of my hand. Dropped the phone once and it still works.

I can attest to it's durability. I've probably dropped the phone ten times at least and nothing has happened. Either I'm lucky or this case is amazing.

Ive been thinking about this case. So the clear back is hard plastic and the black edges is TPU? How thick is the clear back? The computer renderings on their website makes the back appear too thick.

Can anybody share the thickness in comparison between a diztronic tpu, ringke slim and ringke fusion?

Diztronic TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 for sure. It's cheap, tough and pretty. Official site: https://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46_76&zenid=9465876d3adc7bda9f4d408bfa0c8e6a

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 like this one off eBay. It provides protection around the edges with a glossy look and on the back has a matte black finish. Kinda looks like a nexus 5, or not

Seidio Convert.
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...

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 am getting my Note 5 on Tuesday and am looking for suggestions on cases. Right now I have a Spigen neo hybrid on my s6 but I don't like how scratched the back has become. However I don't want to hide the beauty of this phone.
Suggestions?
I'm using a Cruzerlite until my UAG comes in.

I got the incipio dual pro shine, but for you I think a clear tpu is best, all others will scratch. Sgp has that might be called liquid crystal if I remember correctly.

I hate cases, but am using the spigen ultra thin liquid crystal clear tpu case.
Phone still looks good, and very little bulk added.
I will never own or use an Otterbox... Way too bulky for my tastes.
I just got the Obliq clear case with kickstand. Very happy with it thus far. It doesn't add much to the bulk of the phone, seems to offer good protection, is clear and allows the beauty of the phone to show through, retains the curve of the phone, and has a kickstand that functions well. I'd highly recommend it!

Thank you for all your responses. They are all great options. I used to only use otterbox defenders but with phones getting better looking I like to see them. I am leaning towards with the Spigen or obliq now. Unfortunately it won't be delivered till tomorrow and I still haven't ordered a case so I hope I can keep it in good shape till I do.

Just a heads up. I discovered that the Obliq case uses a magnet to keep the kickstand shut and it was causing the spen to not work where it was. I'm trying to find a way to dampen it so I can continue using the case

I purchased the Samsung protect case today from T-Mobile. It is by far the most minimal case I have seen...the sides of the phone are completely open. It is not cheap, but I am loving it so far!
I swear by Incipio cases. Using a Incipio Dual Pro Hardshell cases with impact absorbing core. Red color. I've used them for my HTC m7 & M8. Returned both phones in pristine condition.

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. : /

Thanks, I certainly hope so. I'm holding off on getting the phone as of yet, because I want to see some reviews first. Also, I'm looking to batch 2, to avoid any possible issues with quality control. I wonder when those will start rolling out? January, perhaps?

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.
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?

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.

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

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.
