What is wrong with this picture? Is that the so called light bleed? Weird reflection? Pinstripe option?

No, that is a reflection for the lighting used for the pictures. This phone has the Zagg Curve glass protector and there is a pretty good rainbow/oil slick in the middle under certain lights.

Oh snap. Rainbow Road.

My 10$ glass edge adhesive didn't have rainbow effect in middle of the glass.

I just received mine today too... though I like the fit, and the overall feel, the case is a bit too slippery for my taste... I think I'll try to return it...

Yes, it does and you are going to need a lanyard. This thing is as slippey as a wet bar of soap.

As if the phone sans case being slippery wasn't enough,SMH.......
I used to be a fan of the CrashGuard bumper,but,with the phones of today becoming as large as they are,the bumper makes the grip quite a stretch for us mere mortals.
Looks like I can cross RhinoShiled of the list for accessories.

SGP Ultra Oleophobic Screen Protector for Nexus 4 Review

http://youtu.be/o9JlxHd19m8
thats hardly a review, more like a marketing promo.
Best screen protector i have ever tried, this is my new brand for all my tactile devices
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Those edges where it doesn't stick to the glass looks terrible. I wish I had more hands so I could give 4 thumbs down.

sorry you feel that way. I don't work for them. Why would I market something I paid my money for. I am only sharing it.
Would you rather me say, "This screen protector protects my screen. Its decent!"

The ultra clear is just that. It has more clarity. You loose some of that with this protector since it tries to hide finger prints.

I agree it does but it doesnt bother me because this protector feels pretty darn close to glass. I'd rather have this than something else.

Non-bumper Non-frosted cases that let the back show through?

Hey guys, been looking through the forum but can't seem to find a good case that just clearly shows the back of the Nexus 4.
Some TPU cases have partial clear backs but usually with an ugly S or X shape and frosting on the other parts. Also people say the clear TPU part looks bad, like its stuck to the back glass and shows random bubbles depending on pressure.
Does anyone know of a good case with a clear back?
Would tempered glass front and back plus a bumper give good protection and still show the back?
A lot of us are waiting for this one.

Any ideas if it will fit well with a screen protector?
I'm currently using this: http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/251200525677
It fits well and I like it. The case scratches easily but it's a case so I'm not too upset about that.

We won't know for sure until we get it in our hands. What kind of SP are you planning on getting? If it's a wet applicator type, make sure you get the case fit kind.

Hard rigid plastic yes, slippery no. There is quite a lot of friction for this case.

those are cool and cheap... but still has that frosted backside AND it looks rather thick/bulky (look at the thickness of the opening of the camera/lens part)... I was going to get it, but I think I'll wait for the Ringke and see what they are going to charge. If it's in the $20 range, then yes.... but if it's in the $30... then no or at least reconsider

I have that case in white on my phone right now. It doesn't show the back clearly its closer to what the atmosphere case is as far as clarity. Nice case though and it doesn't mess with my screen protector at all.

ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Black Carbon Fiber Film Shield + Screen Protector for Sams

Hey guys i bought this ArmorSuit Carbon Fiber Film Shield + Screen Protector about 6 months ago and if anyone is interested on one here's the link:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006N1N56G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I added some photos of the phone with the skin installed. I have it on for about 6~7months now and it's still good.
Enjoy.:good:
Looks nice, I think I'll buy it

Yeah it's like a really thin case for me since i'm really careful, i've only dropped the phone like 3~4 times in a year that i have it now and a few corners of the skin got bent so i cutted with a razor so it won't lift up the whole part getting the phone in and out the pockets and so...
And try to read the instructions really carefully before aplying.

I ended up getting this one. Stylish, protective (TPU material), and provides good grip so it doesn't feel like it's going to slide like mucus out of your hands. Great case. Love it.

I had a XGear Fantom that was. 4mm and the LG bumper fit fine. Now I ordered the Maru labs and if it ever comes, it should fit as well since it's. 37mm.

Don't have picture I broke the screen protector!! I shut my car door on my phone the screen cover broke but my phone was perfect!! I had the first model of the protector which was a little thicker so the bumper wouldn't fit to well and just pushed the protector up!!! The new one is thinner so it might fit better!!

Ok pulled the trigger for a black one. I have the LG white bumper, but was battling if I should go white. But hearing or reading that there are some gaps, I opted for the black.

Thanks. This is how I found out about Maru labs - from what I know they were adjusting the batch currently. I should have actually gotten the screen protector earlier last week but it was delayed. So we'll see.

Uh, I wouldn't want that. hah.
Few questions for some owners..
1) The site doesn't advertise being oleophobic, but do fingerprints show up pretty badly?
2) Has anyone tried this case with a slim case such as the Rinke or Nillkin? It wraps around the edges pretty tightly and am wondering if the Maru glass extends that far.
Mine should be at my office waiting for me on Monday. I'll post pics if it works on my bumper lol.

From this users experience it doesn't seem to be anti fingerprint http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/1e2fzi/maru_labs_tempered_glass_screen_protector/ca2qhpr
I received mine today.
It does leave fingerprints.
Sensitivity does go down a little.
Cases I've tried on: (I've put this on for only a couple of seconds to see if it would fit or not. I don't know if it would cause an issue for extended use)
Ringke fusion - seems to fit, looks good.
Poetic atmosphere - seems to fit, looks good.
Nillkin leather flip - fit good.
Poetic borderline - It does not fit. I can't put it on with the protector on.
Poetic slimbook - fit good.
Oh god, does it just come a cheap little padded envelope? I'm worried about the condition of my protector now too.

Nope, It came in a flatten box. (well mine came in flat with no other padding or bubbles)
It only came with the protector only, no cleaning cloth.

MY GOD (glas.t nano slim is amazing)

Wow I've always been a fan of their screen protectors but this protector is amazing. No smudges or anything... it might even be better than the screen itself. My fingers just Swype like nothings there!
Should have gotten this thing sooner...
Anyone else tried this thing? It's amazing and it doesn't seem any thicker than a regular screen protector at .15mm thick

Question is how well it protects your screen compared to others though! I do agree the thickness is amazing.
Yea the price is kind of high but honestly it feels like it'll last me the life of the phone. Worth every penny for how long it will last

How sharp are the edges? I had a glass t slim and it was cutting up my fingers pretty badly. Lost the protector due to a phone replacement, I have a mime host on order, but I've been hearing problems with that one.

the edges are not sharp at all. to be honest it is so thin that if you have a case on you will never even notice it is on there, well except for how smooth it is :good:
Yea mine isn't sharp. It seems like a normal screen protector at first but it's clearly much harder and MUCH LESS GREASY! that's my favorite part lol the clarity is just out of this world for a screen protector

Excellent service too. My nano was fine for a week then i got an issue with the corner getting what seemed like condensation under.
