Body Glove Case Review

I got the body glove case at At&t today because I loved that case so much on my captivate. All in all it is a good case. Here are a few pro cons for those looking for it.
Pros: very low profile adds hardly any bulk to the phone just like the captivate version, I love that it's semi hard yet "sticks" in your hand nice and isn't slippery.
Cons: the large cutout around the camera sucks. They cut way to much out and I can see losing my small child in there if I ever have them both in the same pocket, because of it's low profile, the camera sticks out past the case therefor there is no protection for the camera if it gets dropped on that side, the case fits as snug as it did on my captivate but it has a very weak spot around the volume rocker.
All in all if you are just looking to protect from scratches this is a great case, but for ultimate protection look elsewhere.

I have the same case. I noticed that there's a gap on mine at the bottom of the phone and I can push it in. I may go back and get the speck case to get better protection. I understand that with that case the camera is flush and doesn't protrude.

I loved BG case on Captivate and would've jumped on this one too but that huge cutout on the back is really off-putting to me for some reason.

bigdessert, I concur with your findings. Love the Body Glove for the same reasons as well as the textured back. But I'm paranoid of something happening to the camera lense. My wife is looking at upgrading to the Inspire very soon but she doesn't like the Body Glove. She uses a Speck case on her Aria right now so she will probably stick with that brand for the upgrade. Then I can compare them side-by-side

I have a review up on my website of the speck case for the Inspire.

I hope you're not planning on making a living off those "reviews".

Body Glove was a nice case for the Captivate.. not so nice for the Inspire considering the other choices

Good to know on the camera Gunny. I was wonderng if there was a case that would keep the camera from sticking out so far. I hate how it does that as it's very prone to the lens being messed up when you lay it down!

Just wanting to add to this...
I too purchased the Body Glove from ATT on launch day due to lack of alternatives available. I was very disappointed, because as usual it didn't cover the buttons on the side and tops, and the cutout made the side supports a little more lose than I prefer. I also noticed that it added a LOT of bulk to the back of the phone.... so I ended up returning it.
Often times when a new phone come out, I take a chance and order a cheapy case on eBay for $2 and end up throwing away when it arrives due to it being cheap mis-fitting junk.
However, I came across the cases listed below from seller AccStation on eBay, and decided to take a chance. They sell them for $3.50 with free shipping (tho I had to pay tax since I'm in CA). It arrived and was like Christmas day. I'm not even kidding. I've had hundreds of mobile devices, and thousands of cases in my life, and this is hands-down the most 100% perfect fitting, most amazingly cut case I've ever bought, and it was only four bux! The camera cutout is EXACT, it's like the phone was dipped in the rubber. There's no lose\off-cut pieces. The shell is incredibly thin, and it's a material that doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket when you put it in and out.
I am ordering more from this seller to have as backups. Right now they're out of stock, so they raised the price to $100 to not sell any, but watch their website and grab them when they're back in stock. I can't even begin to tell you how impressed I am with the quality and fit of this case, it's as if my phone was dipped in the rubber, it just is 100% spot-on!

I did the exact same thing. I bought a carbon effect one from ebay (for next to nothing) to see how it looked, felt, protected the phone etc. and when it arrived, i was pretty happy. It looked decent enough and seemed to be of reasonable quality for the price so i put my phone in (which seemed to require an abnormal amount of effort) and then it appeared that the case was a little too tight. I then spent the next 20 minutes attempting to get my DHD out of it and when i finally did the imitation leather/material was starting to tear so i threw it away.
I also decided to buy myself a nice cheap Desire S style silicone/gel case from ebay (once again, for next to nothing) and i couldn't be happier! It offers more than ample protection and it looks great. So i'd advise that if you're on a budget that you stick to a gel case, unless you want to spend much more money on a higher quality leather flip case.

I think I've bought the same carbon case. It's a pain in the butt to get off lol

I purchased my case from Ebay uk the Seller username is phone_giants and the item is listed as"HTC DESIRE HD MOBILE PHONE LEATHER CASE COVER POUCH" hope this is useful.

PDair case
I've used PDair on both my Streak and Inspire, good quality and selection.

Me too,ideal for attaching to your belt as well as it comes with a belt clip,also have the htc one which I use to put into my shirt pocket,comes with a pull cord to pull it out of the case and protects the phone in your pocket/bag etc

I was quite rightly introduced (by the largest Vegan site on the planet) to the plight of animals when it comes to the meat and leather industry. So you might want to consider a TPU case or something else, especially after seeing these videos (i made a quick page).
I use a TPU case and it's been great alongside a separate sleeve. Thankfully there are many other options out there too.

Hi there!
I purchased this:
http://www.pielframa.com/htc-desire-hd-imagnum-cases.htm
The good:
Excellent general fit, durability and overall protection.
In a pinch the lid can double as a kickstand although within a rather narrow angle span.

All in all it´s the best case i ever had.
Oh - BTW. The belt clip looks decent enough but i never use it. I just stick the whole thing in a pocket somewhere. Pants usually.

My Nexus 4 Accessories Photos (or... a small Begoos bumper pouch/sleeve)

I've only had my N4 since December, but have accumulated a few random accessories along the way...well not as much as some folks here :silly:. This is mainly going to be a small collection of photos I took of the pouch made by a nice artisan who is also on Etsy by the name of Begoos and can make custom size cases in various materials to fit what you want. (I won't link to her, but if this interests you, she can easily be found if you search for "Nexus 4" on Etsy). I found out recently this pouch was mentioned in the thread about pouches that fit the bumper so I think some of you know about it or have it or even posted a review of it. I know everyone doesn't use pouches, but I was just so impressed with this pouch and the bumper after waiting for like two months for it to come back in stock at the US Play Store.

This hand-made pouch has a magnetic type closure/flap, which I really like over the drawstring type. This pouch's centered flap position and position of the N4's headphone jack mesh pretty well in usage. Even a large headphone adapter can fit without any conflict from the flap.
This is now closed:
A naked N4 fits very well, and the "cushion" material inside makes it kind of like a small amount of padding. So, I think it is pretty decent for a small amount of protection (well, I can only assume...).
A bumper-equipped N4 slides in and out of the pouch without any hassle. And fits inside like it was made for it.
All I remember telling her through Etsy was the bumper dimensions so I believe it was made slightly wider than her usual N4 sized pouch. It took about two weeks from her in Latvia to me in the US (back in early January), but the wait was well worth it! Personally, this is definitely just as premium feeling and a "feel good" buy as the LG Bumper IMHO. Even if you don't plan on using this daily, it's one of those nice to have items if you plan on keeping your N4 for a long time like me. I hope this was helpful.

cool, nice clean pictures, looks like you love your nexus a lot

Off topic, why does your Sony monitors doesn't have the curled cable?

Where did you get those without the stretch cord?

Thanks dorksturhh. :highfive:
zeus_chingon and DjWindzOne, the headphones are Japanese MDR-CD900ST, not the more commonly known MDR-V6 model which you may be thinking of?

nice, thanks for the review it looks really well made. just bought one without the latch.

Thanks! The pouch looks nice. I'm thinking of getting one

Very impressed with the OP's collection!
I also bought a case from Linda with a small logo drawn . Very quick turnaround, and very personalised purchasing experience. Shipping took 2 weeks to Australia. Case is well constructed as described by OP, and she has a variety of fabrics and colours available to personalise your case. Here's a pic of mine. Loving my N4 and case to bits!

I have to say she did a SPECTACULAR job with your custom N7 logo sleeve! :highfive: GJ Linda!

Wow, very nice looking sleeve. I had not really considered one until seeing your pictures. Seeing as how I am trying to live without a screen protector, this may be a wise investment.
edit: I just messaged asking if she could do a custom order for me: one with a pocket on the back for credit cards/etc., similar to the ones she has on some of the nexus 7/iPad mini sleeves. It would be great to be able to leave the wallet behind some nights.

I'm liking the big lebowski and OP's sleeve

are cases worth it?

I hardly drop my phone, and no I'm not being ignorant or cocky and saying "I'll never drop my phone". So I don't know can't find any cases of my like

If you can't find any you like, you dont HAVE to buy a case...

But then again, I don't want to spend to much. I want a stylish case. any recommendation?

neo hybrid is probably one of the more stylish cases (though costs $30)

It is like you buy insurance, if you know when you will drop it, there is nothing to talk about, but $20-30 to protect your $600-700 investment I think really is worth it.

Check out the Poetic Atmosphere case, here's my review on it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280103
It's a nice looking case and it's cheap too.
Sent from Flip's S4

I've been through two feature phones and three smart phones and I never used a case until this one. For previous phones I would at most put a skin on them. I dropped my last two phones (Palm Pre and Nexus S) from ~2 feet a few times and each time it landed on a corner. No major damage, just scuff marks. The reports across the web are that the S4 doesn't hold up too well in comparison to other phones when dropped. The screen runs right to the corner which makes me worry. That plus the phone being so much larger (and harder to hold on to) made me decide to go for a case. I went with the Spigen Neo Hybrid, and I think it's great. Doesn't add much thickness, looks great and should protect the phone.

If you're looking for something stylish, I'd recommend either Verus Oneye - http://www.zoarah.com/by-brand/verus/#ty%3Bpagination_contents%3B%2Fby-brand%2Fverus%2Fpage-2%2F
Or
Spigen Slim Armor - http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-slim-armor.html
Or If you dont mind a big case(with better protection), a Trident Aegis - http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-iv-i9505.aspx

Today I went shopping for alternatives while waiting for the Spigen Neo Hybrid I ordered from across the atlantic, and stumbled across Samsungs own Protective Cover +. I had no idea what I was buying, but thought it could be worth the 20 bucks. Turns out it's actually a pretty solid case, with a sturdy polycarbonate back and what looks like TPU all around the sides. It even has holes on one of the corners to fit wrist straps and such.
I'm not a big fan of the grey TPU for the white version, but other than that I'm really impressed. Despite its name it's probably no more protective than a basic TPU shell though, in particular because it doesn't add more than a millimeter height to the edge of the screen.

Maybe a slim back cover is your like, covers are form-fitting snap-on covers that protect your cell phone without adding a lot of bulk, have openings for camera, volume/ side buttons, headset, charger jack and kickstand which allows access to all phone functions.

Nope, they aren't worth it when there is need for cheap Black Market spare parts.

Not a case man either but this case made me keep the S4. lol As far as being worth it ummm yea it's a 500 + phone. Only takes one drunk night. hehe

Recommended Leather Holsters?

Anyone find or know of a good leather belt pouch/holster for a bare or minimally cased 6P? Know there are boatloads out there, just can't seem to get the internal dimensions on them. And quite a few seem to be made for something in a big (otterbox defender) case.

After a bit of reading, I discovered our 6p is exactly the same dimensions as the iPhone 6s plus. Just shy of 1mm which is really a non issue. So it kinda opens up a whole world of possibilities. Hope this helps!

Personally, im deciding between the nite ize double wide or extra tall. Ive owned a few of these nite ize cases before. They are the highest quality ive found. Ballistic nylon, and a belt clip that actually locks around the belt, rather than held by friction. Almost impossible to take off the belt by mistake, ive actually snagged on door frames before and come to a halt because of how well built these belt clasps are. Its a TPU " O " shaped belt loop,with a notch cut in it. You have to squeeze it to get it on and off. Id go so far as to say its almost child proof removal wise. I have never lost or dropped the phone in these cases getting in and out of fire trucks or aircraft. the most serious S**t ive been able to find to date. Not like the friction based belt clips you'll see in the posts below mine. Personally, i dont think its very cool to drop my phone off my belt when getting up out of a vehicle. So i really dont mess around when i pick a holster. Try to find one better , and ill buy it. But i bet you cant.

Thanks, that helps alot. Hadn't thought of going that route at the problem. Hadn't considered the dearth of accessories as a downside to the 6P. Had a bare phone snap in holster and an Otterbox Defender for my Note 4.

Here is what you need. It's not a belt pouch, but it looks GOOD.

No, I really need the belt clip part. If I had my druthers I would have a bare phone holster and then an Otterbox or Pelican which both come with belt clip holsters. The only time my phone is not on my belt while I'm out is when it might be in the cargo pocket of a pair of pants/shorts. I have this in my Nexus 6P Accessories wish list on Amazon.
Story Leather Black Napa Genuine Leather Holster with Belt Clip for Apple iPhone 6 PLUS

I highly recommend these http://www.pdair.com/ I have at least 10 of them. They are expensive but are a premium product. Most new devices take a while to show up but what I do is use this site http://www.phonearena.com/phones/si...exus-6P,Apple-iPhone-6s-Plus/phones/9587,9502 and view layered then select http://www.pdair.com/index.php/leather-case-for-apple-iphone-6-plus-5-5-horizontal-pouch-type.html.
If I want a bumper on the phone Ill order a slightly bigger case or the iphone 6s plus one that is for the bumper. I usually get one slightly bigger.
If your just after a cheap one.
