[Video] Nexus 4 - Mercury TPU Rubber Case Review - Unboxing - Testing out

Today I got the TPU Mercury Case for the Nexus 4
If you liked, please give me a thanks and maybe a like on youtube?
Bought it, cause the buttons were cut out, seemed a nice case, and indeed, one of my best cases so far (have only had 3)
Good sides
- Many Colour choices
- Fits perfectly
- Perfect buttons feel (ofc)
- Bought it for
Bad sides
- Gathers much dust
- Volume cut a tiny bit to small at the bottom (not that big of a deal)
- It glitters, (not that it is a bad side for me, but maybe for many ppl it is)

The case covers a little to much of the speaker, do you guys also have this issue?

Can someone put the video embed? It seems I can't or does it show embed for you guys?

Managed to do it already

No comments yet?

Has anyone else got this case?

Just ordered mine in black, I quite like the sparkle effect.. Waiting for it to arrive (and my phone!)

Yes I've tried 3 or 4 different cases this is my case of choice right now

I guess it helps if the phone falls down, but i'm not gonna test it ahah It's just like any other TPU case

How much did you guys pay for it?

just ordered a white one. Hopefully the contrast looks good with the black front/back found a different seller that only charged 7$ for it. looks good!

Its also available at amazon which is where I got mine from back in Feb. Link>>> http://goo.gl/WHpe7

For 7$ its totally worth it

I paid like the equiv of $16-17? Everything is expensive in the UK

I have been using their cases since SGS2 days. They are always late to market so I always buy something cheap until Mercury comes out with their case. They have become my de facto case for all my phones. They are just brilliant. I too ordered one for nexus 4.
Their material has been same for last 2 years. And it is really different than what we see on other TPU cases. Very premium feel.
Here are the few pics of the mercury cases I have for my other phones. Will post pics of Nexus 4 cover when it comes.

looks interesting ...

I paid like 4 dollars on eBay a month ago there may have been a couple bucks shipping can't remember

Underwater Cases For S4

hello guys. just got an s4. always had an iphone and this is my first android so its fun and very interesting device. do you guys happen to know a good underwater case, similar to the iphone 5's lifeproof case?

Seashell makes one... Google "Seashell Underwater case Samsung S4"
...I'd post the link but XDA doesn't trust me to do that.....

LOL. That case is crazy. Im pretty sure the OP wanted one slim like the lifeproof. So OBEX from seidioonline.com

Very interested in this as well, are there any others available that someone could vouch for?

Have a lifeproof for an iphone 5 and it works well. Very well in fact. Waiting on a lifeproof or OBEX for my S4.

i would have to think at some point they would sell the shell of the s4 advanced. it's water proof

Just saw this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/IPX-8-WATER...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item51af130c0b

Any other suggestions?

I just ordered the Krusell case. I'll let you know how it is when i receive and used it. I just wanted a cheap (too bad its $39 shipped) case to use ONLY when im around water. I didnt want to carry those ziplock looking cases around either.. just something to keep next to the pool or with me at the lake. All the reviews about a lot of waterproof cases are negative in terms of call quality/everyday use. Nobody has reviewed it for the reason i want to use it (ONLY when around water then take it off when im not)

Just use a condom. Works great. I've been to many pool parties where it's fun to throw incoming guests in the pool while fully clothed. Gets a good laugh too when you pull out your phone and it's "protected".

You could always use a DryCASE. Or are you looking for an everyday use case?

I may have to order one of these, I'm just worried since it is a no name brand cheap case from china that it won't hold up. I'm going on a trip next month though so I may just bite the bullet anyway and test it out.
I also found these:
http://www.amazon.com/White-Waterpr...TF8&colid=3U43OLNEXJ206&coliid=I1HTGYZ4LUY7JT
http://www.amazon.com/DandyCase-Bla...TF8&colid=3U43OLNEXJ206&coliid=I3RN1XRHV2KI56
http://www.amazon.com/FRIEQ®-Univer...TF8&colid=3U43OLNEXJ206&coliid=I3KBIDCDHXD9NV
They're all pretty much the same thing, just different brands. The ebay one you posted definitely looks 100x better, but these amazon ones have pretty good reviews and people seem to back them up and have mentioned only minor issues.

I need something that I can use to take pictures since I will be snorkeling. Also, I'd rather use a ZipLock bag.

Has anyone tried the waterproof skin by winner? It blocks the charging port so it would ideally be used only a couple of times. But it looks slim fitting and they are very affordable compared to an $80 life proof case.

according to their twitter, third quarter. so any time between now and the end of september..

Otterbox and lifeproof both recently released waterproof cases for the s3. Betting it wont be long and theyll release s4 versions as well. Both claim to not interfere with call sound quality.

Best post I´ve read in almost 3 years or so! Lol for days thank you!!! :laugh:
Back in topic, after buying like 16 cases the best for me has been the Otterbox Commuter: right ammount of protection with minimal bulk. Toughest cases are so bulky and cheaper ones do not provide such effectiveness when talking about regular drops.
Anyway your choose will be the best, cheers!

I like my setup, minisuit bumper with orange battery door off eBay...

I also had a bad experience with an incipio dual pro. It was not snug and the phone kept falling out of the case. I love my Targus Safe port but it's not easy to take the phone out if you do a lot of battery swaps. I'm looking at a Pure gear Dual tek or a Spigen neo hybrid for something more user friendly. I do heaps of battery swaps

After testing a few decided to SPIGEN Ultra Fit
Protects but at the same time is not that big.

Lifeproof fre gets my vote for best so far. Of course with the price tag it should be amazing, lol

The same thing happened to me. Their replacement bands are ridiculously overpriced so I won't be buying another Spigen cover.

My spigen neo hybrid cracked near the energy interface too.
And second layer of my yellow frame made bubbels and fall down.
To expensive for this bad quality.

*NEW* SEIDIO Convert with Metal Kickstand Combo (Feb 29)

Just got this in my email.
http://www.seidioonline.com/Nexus-6...ur Nexus 6P With 2 Cases for the Price of 1!#
Unfortunately, it is only in black.
Good looking though if you want a rugged case. Don't know that I'll ever trust them enough to use them again.

nice case, but way to expensive. i think $50 is too expensive for any case, but thats just my opinion. Would buy if it was like $30ish

It looks interesting but the price is also something in the range of a Otterbox. I would love to have a closer look at at it though since love rugged cases

So it looks like this is 2 cases in one and a holster.
You get the Surface case, the "Convert" cover piece that makes it super rugged, and the new weird holster that connects to their mounting system.
Actually not a terrible price for SEIDIO, but I know nothing about that holster. You can get it cheaper on holiday sales or probably on Amazon in a few weeks.

normally im a super slim case guy but i think i might have to have that for just incase. love the super simple look

I loved the convert on my Evo LTE. This phone in that case though would be too massive if it adds anywhere near the bulk it used to.

Anyone take the plunge on this yet? If so, thoughts?

I purchased it last night should receive it Monday will post pics when I have it in hand

I had a SEIDO for my HTC M9, but I found this I-Blasen for less. Has about the same amount of protection.

Youngblakee was me sorry ... Apparently I logged into XDA with my Tapatalk account... Anyways my case came in and I am loving it! By far in my opinion the best rugged case for the Nexus 6p combined with a pretty good slim case. Best holster I've used so far.

look for them on amazon...a good bit cheaper w/color options

How is the kickstand? Is it something which will break after a few tries?

Just got this case today. Love it except that the charging port cover wouldn't shut, and pushed the charging cable up, possibly damaging the connectors long term.
It bothered me so I cut the charging port cover off.
Other than that it's a great case. Seido could have done better.

Can you use it without the outer most shell? Without the holster?
If looks like 3 shells correct?

Rhino Bumper FAIL

The Rhino Bumper arrived today. Very excited to get it. It fits great, REALLY makes the phone look excellent. EXCEPT THE CHARHER DOES NOT FIT. My Verizon USB C fast CHARGER, my MOTO Z FORCE DROID fast CHARGER are BOTH TOO BIG.....honestly I have not tried my pixel CHARGER because it's at work...I'll know tomorow, but I'm almost certain it was bigger than the Motorola. UNEBELIEVABLE. And how do you even get that opening close? Why make it close? I'm so disappointed.

I'm big enough to admit I made a mistake and look like a jack ass...lol. It CAN go in but you gotta really CRANK THE HELL OUT OF IT....I may have slightly jumped the gun. Still 1 or 2 more mm and this wouldn't be a problem
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'd love to see a few pictures.

I have 6 or more USB-C cables including the one that came with my XPS laptop and Pixel C , all the ends are about the same size.
It is insane that they did not consider the size of the USB-C ends. That is pretty basic for a case. Send it back and pick up a Spigen Rugged Armor case. Light but protective and cheap. It's a great case. I already accidentallydropped my phone from 4' onto a tile floor. No damage.

You can't really see the siW of the opening and the plug, but it's so Tight... Now I actually feel a click when I apply a LOT of pressure.
The bumper is the BEST bumper I've had since that all glass Nexus, I think the Nexus 4 it was. This I really really well made and nice.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Just get an exacto knife and enlarge the opening. Should not be difficult. Just don't do it while it is on the phone

The area that needs to be bigger is too thin man...it has seemingly stretched a bit now and is going in easier...
This Bumper is AWESOME.
IM REALLY HOPING I can get this Bumper on OVER the Dbrand I have coming for the back.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Bumper looks too damn big and complaints of the buttons feeling like garbage. If it were a somewhat thin bumper, like that of the Nexus 4 (I had one with the official bumper too), it'd be great.

Yeah, no. It's as compact a bumper I've ever seen. It's absolutely the best bumper I've ever ever had. Buttons are better on this than on Incipios. It's a great case, this opening has moved enough so it's working fine. The thin part is very hard durable . It's quality made
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Pretty sure the bumper is thicker so it can protect it as well as it states. If you are looking for a thin one definitely don't recommend it. It's definitely a little bigger than I thought but if it saves my Pixel I'm fine.

It fits fine for me. Using both the included cables and the one from the nexus 6p. No stretching or anything like that.

How's the lip that protects the screen when placed facedown on the table? Been hearing reports that it's too thin.

It is too big. Looks awkward on the phone. The back looks weird IMO with the tapered edges.
I returned mine this morning. Bummer because I was really looking forward to it.

If you have a thick tgsp then it will be close on clearance. I'm loving the crash guard for the pixel xl. I loved the 6p version but the camera hump made for a weird design.
I have a dbrand skin on the way too. I'm going to replicate what I had on my 6p.

Yeah you have to force the plugs in the first couple of times but it gets better.
I love this bumper! I'm waiting for my slickwraps naked skin to show up before I use it daily though. TPU case until then.
