Looks nice! I guess you will be able to answer the question I had for couple of weeks... Does the concrete skin have a matte finish or it is shiny + slippery?
Looks good. I'm still debating whether I want to go with Matter Black, or White and cut the top portion so it looks similar to a Panda Pixel XL 2. I think I saw someone do it in Reddit and it looked really good.

Concrete and titanium are fairly shiny and quite smooth , titanium has a bit more texture then concrete which is the smoothest if all 3 ,the matte black has much more texture and grip

Good to know! I was thinking about Concrete and possibly leather(white) skin, but knowing that matte has a better grip... might make more sense to get that one as well.
I grabbed the matte as well. Love the quality

So When i had a thread in the skyrocket forum for ghost armor it picked up pretty well. Ghost armor is a wet application protector like zagg and bodyguardz. They offer screen and full body protection. their protectors are, IMO, much less rubbery and tacky feeling than zagg and they show a lot less orange peel.
Aside from the clear finish though, they have different flavors such as carbon fiber wraps and my personal favorite, matte finish. Instead of using a case on my phones I always use these guys and have never been disappointed. I highly recommend having their kiosk employee do the installation too.
Here is my One X with the matte finish ghost armor applied, along with the screen. The original kit did not come with the sides and i had to add them in extra, but it's well worth it because the glossy sides are the most easily scratched part.
Looks very nice. I might just get it done as well!
Thank you! I had no clue there was a separate color option for the camera circle. Definitely getting now. How does it feel by the way?

Is the matte slippery at all?
I hate the orange peel effect it gives to the screen.
How much extra were the sides?
I was shocked when I picked mine up and didn't have any protection for the sides.

I actually got too anxious and couldn't wait for my full ghost armor so I bought the Zagg HD screen protector today. Damn is this thing smooth. Really feels just like the glass of the phone. I'm just going to use the back and sides from Ghost Armor, as I really can't stand any case that's out for this phone.
The matte actually improves the grip of the phone by quite a but but still feels awesome to hold. Side pieces cost me an extra $5 he used the pieces from an iPhone 3g kit

How did you get the green circle? I'm on their website and not sure how to configure the order to get a sticker for the ring colored differently than the rest of the body...

If you go to one of their kiosks you'll have much more flexibility with color options. I was annoying and got mine mix-n-matched lol

My carbon fiber skin finally came in. Got it installed today. Really happy with it and glad I'm not longer using a bulky case.

Pictures as promised
Here we go. Not a lot to see on the front it's just a better than most screen protector.
I didn't bother with the sides.
I thought the carbon fiber would provide a nice grippy surface and I was right. I'm quite pleased
So is there any orange peal affect like Zagg on the screen protector?
I have no idea what that is. Never used any screen protector before today.
Ooh Gunny, that looks awesome! Have it professionally installed?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah. I drink way too much coffee and could never have gotten it to look that good so I paid them. 37 bucks with tax for the skin and install.

I just googled. There may be a MINIMAL effect but I only see it when the phone is off and it's more like seeing vertical lines than bumps and swirls like in the pictures I saw.
$12.99- Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case
This case is $12.90 and comes in many colors: smoke, red, pink, orange, blue, purple, teal, green, clear, and black. If you want to check the cases out go ahead and check the description for a link to Amazon.
Design
The first thing I noticed about this case is that installation is a breeze. The back has a nice modern design. Side by side the Diztronic TPU, the Cruzerlite looks much classier. The grey case and black phone gives you a nice contrast, especially with the silver buttons.
On the back we see a grey color, transparent “circuits”, and Cruzerlite branding. On the top we see a cut out for the 8 megapixel camera and on the bottom we see a cut out for the speakers. The Nexus logo and LG are both noticeable through the back of the case.
One of my favorite features is that it won’t attract any pocket lint and you can wipe away any residue. The case is a little slippery in the hand, but it isn’t too noticeable.
Protection
One of the benefits to the Cruzerlite case is that it has a lip, which protects the display from damage when placed or dropped face first. This case won’t protect the Nexus 4 from big drops, but it’s shock absorbent and will protect from minor nicks and bumps.
Final Verdict
The final veridct is that for $12.90 this is one of the best TPUs on the market. The modern unique design gives it a much better look than other competing cases and the grippy back is definitely a plus. With tons of different colors to choose from, you can’t go wrong with the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. However, if this case isn’t for you, be sure to check out my reviews of the Poetic Atmosphere and Diztronic TPU.
Is the entire thing TPU or is the back a different material?

The back looks to be a matte finish but idk if its grippy. You just feel the groves from the design and it feels smooth more then anything. But i think it feels pretty good overall.

I agree with this. The case is neither slippery nor grippy.

I'm interested in this case, does nfc work with this case on?
Yep, I have the clear one and the quality is great. NFC works just fine (use it every day as a car dock)

I searched and didn't see a review for this case. I picked it up yesterday at T-Mobile I had a Ringke Slim prior to this case, I liked the Ringke Slim but I am so paranoid about dropping my phone and not having enough protection, primarily the top and bottom and the corners of the phone.
The Body Glove offers full protection for the Nexus 4. The case is a hybrid hard/soft case. The inside of the case is a "durable gel material" which extends out to the outer edges of the case so that if the phone drops face down it won't land on the glass. There is also gel material on the outside of the case covering the power and volume buttons as well as the back of the case for some slightly added grip and so when the case is placed down the hard plastic won't be touching whatever its laying on.
The case feels rather good in the hand as it does not add any significant weight or thickness to the phone which is awesome. Body Glove did a great job on keeping the ergonomics of the phone while the case is on. My only real complaint is Body Glove could have added more grip to the case. The little groves they added to the back of the case helps some but I think it would help with grip more if the groves were vertical and not horizontal.
Will add more pics of the case on the phone as well as comparison pics of the Ringke Slim.

My review is that it looks hideous.
Great review!!! It really don't look bad in person but I dont think any case really looks great anyway, to each their own I guess.
I also own this case and I have to say it's amazing, I feel like my phone is very protected and looks great. I was looking on amazon for weeks for a good case but I felt everything else was really cheep, the nova is a great looking high quality case and I wouldn't get anything else!
it looks stromtrooper-ish
they have an all black version if this particular one doesn't suit your taste. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BODY-GL...969187?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item23284cada3
Sad tht in India, we have less choice to get accessories , as I have got the phone through relative living in India.
I picked up the same case and I love it. Buttons feel good. Full all around protection. Color choice was pink or white and that's the only draw back imo

This case looks so nice , im debating on getting the black one or the white. Op could you post more pics of the case on your phone please?
Would like to see pictures of the black case if someone has gotten it yet.

I just picked this up today. So far it fits great and the buttons feel good I just wish the edges weren't as boxy.
Anyways I took some pictures for you. The one with the screen turned on shows what looks like white splotches around the edge, but that's a reflection of something because the case shows some chrome on top and bottom. I couldn't get good lighting and the tablets camera sucks with no flash.

This case is just like the seidio active just with better fit due to more structure from the shell. The seidio is nice but doesn't have enough points of grip making the silicone underneath move a lot and letting in dust and particles.

Thanks to all providing pictures.
How do the buttons feel ?
The inner silicone gel case looks thinner than similar dual layer cases (and i presume it cannot be separated from the outer shell as well) . Does it feel like it will give enough protection for a 4/5 ft concrete fall ?
Ooooh! This case is nice! I wish I would've bought this before I bought my Ringke Fusion.

Coming from orzly case and it's not as bulky. Looks fantastic but the outer shell is a little slick. I expect it to get a little better once I get my grimy hands all over it. It's not as bad of a fingerprint magnet as the nillkin frosted matte case for the to but it's somewhat noticable. The clear part isn't clear as in the stock photos and does rainbow.

Just got the silver on a white phone. The white mitigates the rainbow effect. Although it is a little slick, is a great looking case.

That's a shame, i liked the sandstone case very much on my 7.
I'm thinking about trying something else for a change and preferably a very slim one.
I'll keep an eye on Nilkin.

I'm using the black sandstone case for two weeks now. It still looks like on the first day.
But I would not call it really slim, but that's a very personal feeling. It is a little bit thicker than the front camera, but I think that's good to protect the camera too.

My blue sandstone looked a bit dirty after a month of use. Cleaning with wet wipes does nothing to restore it.
The mentioned cases are not thin, add way to much bulk.
latercase cyber edition.
the thinnest cases out there are made by
MNML
or
Peel
unfortunately, they don't have a product for the OnePlus Nord (yet?).
Just got Nilkin Black Case yesterday had to say this is probably the thinnest and it feels very good in hand
Sandstone cases were very disappointing
Nillkin Super Frosted Shield + Nillkin CP+ Screen Protector. Absolutely perfect matching, really feels like made for each other. The Glass has black borders, so no halo effect on the sides. Really smooth touch and feel. Case is super slim and grippy as hell.
Sorry for picture quality, had to take the pictures with a Huawei Mediapad M5 with a pretty crappy camera.
That blue looks nice, I have black one with the same glass on the way.

Hmmm, what, which one?
Sandstone costs almost 20€ and Nillkin less than 6€.
Oh, on amazon.in, that's bad, can't you buy it from Aliexpress or from other place?
But Nillkin is much better than sandstone, I've got sandstone as pre-order gift, and I don't like it. Is too fat and the feel is not so good and same for the transparent case.

@Lazy Rich it looks like the corners of the screen protector glass have too big a radius - basically as if they're not going all the way into the corner of the screen, is that really the case?
