Not too happy with them. I ordered 2 cases , a regular carbon fiber and the Alcantara case. That was a week ago. Yesterday , send then an email wondering why 2 day UPS shipping is taking longer than a week, and they say , oh crap UPS lost them. Now they ask what I want, well I want the cases I paid for.
But.... they are now suddenly out..... geez.
Buyer beware with these guys, seems they could take the money on time.
Honestly my experience was pleasant, ordered and got the case in 2 days got the carbon fiber case

Thanks for the info, seemed fishy to me , but if it worked out for you, I'll just be a little more patient.

I ordered their screen protector and was very disappointed.
They are hard to put on, plus edges are always lifting.
They got a so much rugged touch you can properly swipe on the screen.
Too bad.
Good experience so far. Ordered case, showed up today. Fits great and looks good. Ordered on the 10th

Nice, can you post a pic showing the inside of the case without the phone in it?
Is the case slippery?
Looks protective enough, but the carbon fiberness seems to be a bit... shiny? Like it's got a laquer coat on top? Cases by Pitaka I've used in the past, have a more grainy texture to them. Any ideas?

It does feel like it has a coating on top of the back. I had a pitaka case before and they feel a lot different.
It's not slippery on the edges it's like a rubber around the edges, which gives good grip.. The back is smooth though.

Change my view on this case after putting my phone in. Absolutely beautiful case with very grippy sides.
Wonder how easy that glossy finish on the back scratches though?

I was looking on eBay for a nice TPU case that is somewhat clear to see the awesome back of the phone. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321025632878?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Its from Texas, US, so it should arrive quick compared to Hong Kong. Any thoughts on it or if anyone already bought one similar to it? I'm supposedly getting my device middle of next week and don't want to damage it.
Just ordered the white one. I need something for now to avoid a mishap

I ordered one a few days ago from that seller. Still hasn't shipped.
I, for one, am waiting on the CruzerLite cases. Hopefully they make more than TPU soon because i think TPU would not protect the back glass at all. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/pre-order-androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-lg-nexus-4

I ordered one of these in white from the US seller, it came in yesterday. It actually looks and feels a bit better than I expected. Doesn't add too much bulk and provides enough grip.
This one is cheaper and the same thing basically. With quick shipping even though it's HK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170946973494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Hey guys.
Received my Poetic bumper case today and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I have 3 cases, the official bumper case, the rearth ringke and the poetic borderline (aka bumper).
So far I really like this case, and in a TL;DR version, I think I'm going to use this case over the other two. The reason I like this case it that it shows off the unique Nexus 4 backplate while still offering some degree of protection. You'll see in the photos below that there is a small, yet noticeable raise on the sides of the case to prevent the phone from coming into contact with any flat object. I think I'll be choosing this case over the official bumper because this bumper case a slimmer profile and adds less bulk. My first impression with the official case is that it made the phone harder to hold (for me personally).
The covers for the buttons work well and I enjoy the feel of the case overall. The price I got this for (right around $6) and the quality make this case feel like a total steal.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have question. Hope this helps, cheers.
Come on man! We already have an entire thread dedicated to this case... With a bunch of pictures. No need to create a new thread. lol
Thanks for the review bud. Mine should be coming in soon.
I'll add that to my collection
Thanks for your review. I ordered this case and it shipped, but I haven't received it yet. Now I can't wait! I have the official bumper too and I'm now glad I ordered this one too.

I just received mine yesterday, and today i realized it was uneven, it turns out there is a rip on the top left corner, i don't how it happened or what caused it, because i didn't drop it or anything. I contacted costumer service and waiting for a reply. But I really do like the look and feel of this case

The flash on my camera made the gray look lighter than it normally appears. I honestly don't mind it, and if you're in a financial position to be able to gamble $9 I would say try it out.

I already bought it, $9 isn't a problem. Just prefer the black/black color setup.
I've taken a look at numerous amounts of pictures. It looks good, just wish grey was black but we'll see how this turns out. Only because I want to show off the back
Got mine today. It really is very nice. I actually like it more than the official bumper. It's very nice, slimmer and doesn't have the double bezel like the official bumper. Also, it didn't lift up my best skins ever back protector or screen protector.

Just ordered my poetic bumper off ebay and now I'm looking to get a full body XO skin. Could anyone suggest either the regular XO cut or the case cut?
Does it make the phone less slippery? My other cases are not good for wireless charging
And in 2-4 weeks you'll all be signing a different tune when it starts peeling apart. It's a good case until then though. I had two that both starting falling apart so I got my money back and went with the official bumper.
That looks even bigger than Google's bumper. And I couldn't use one without some back protection. I love my Fosmon(?) TPU case.

It has a textured finish, it adds a lot of grip on the inside of the case.
It's smooth like a usual TPU case on the outside

On the inside? Hmmmm okay
The inside is textured so that you don't get the air bubbling effect that you would on some cases that have smooth TPU on the inside surface - it has nothing to do with 'grip'.

Looks like it's cut pretty well. Any reason why you went with the clear over the black armored one? I ordered a Quite Black Pixel, so I'm trying to determine if I should get a crystal or a black one, haha.

Hope it is good as my one for Nexus 5x. For 5x I had the thicker one, the Ultra Hybrid, but now I would like to have a thinner one for more feeling.
Will report when it is delivered and I got my Pixel.
Does it seem like the edge will be above the screen to prevent the screen hitting something if it face-plants?

As dust and sand gets in, those dots or ridges help protect the phone from being scraped
I ordered this for my 128gb black. O also ordered two other no name clear tpu cases. I can say without a doubt...the cuts on the speigen are a lot neater. There is also a slight border around the side of the case that isn't there on the cheaper cases. I got mine for $13 vs $8 for the two other cheap ones. Well worth the extra $5.

I just received this PU soft case which looks like leather. Even has a grainy texture. Comes in black or brown. I chose black as I have the Black Obsidian Mate 9. When i first saw it listed on eBay i thought it would look tacky, but i took the plunge and ordered it.
It arrived today and looks awesome on my phone. It has a shiny gold metallic border which makes my phone look like a premium model. Also the case is very very thin. It almost seems part of the phone. None of this thick plastic edge rolled over on the front glass.
As a result I changed my Huawei theme to black and gold to match the case. All. Coordinated now.
Love it!
This is the case i purchased on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252678772306
Looks very nice. Personally I like the case to stick past the screen edge a little, otherwise it's easier to damage the screen. This one looks basically flush.

If i pass my thumb over the edge i can feel a bump. I would say it is around 1-2mm higher than the display however it barely rolls over the edge on to the screen which i like.

Gotta roll with the Cruzerlite Defender case. Nothing else compares. This and some tempered glass, and it's damn near bulletproof now ?
Just a fyi I was rocking this case for weeks. Eventually my phone fell out of my pocket (not far only 1 ft) and the screen shattered completely. The raise on the screen is not enough... If it lands on the side or back you are probably OK.
Went back to my old case since I had to replace my screen...

I ordered the Blindbox in Germany so I got delivered the sandstone and sandstone case additionally. They are quite hard and not really flimsy. However it's true, camera protection is barely there and I don't think those cases will protect from a drop really good. Also, I want to rock a transparent case with this beautiful blue color. The included one looks and feels really good but is way to soft at the sides, this is even lesser protection than the others cases.
Currently I am using the sandstone case as it gives me way better grip than the carbon one.
I have ordered this case. Let's see how it handles once it gets here: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B085DTHLSZ/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_hsUMEb0JFJSHQ

I drop my phones about once per year so I need a case to protect my phones but a simple bumper case is not enough with these curved displays and depending on how the phone lands, screen might shatter even with a good bumper.case. The cover cases also prevent damage from typical day to day usage.
I have seen some really good implementation of always on displays with smart cover cases, especially from Samsung.
I cannot recommend the case I linked, I don't have it yet and I do not expect much from the case, it just happens to be one for sale now, I think beat cases typically don't get released this early. If anyone sees a good cover case, please post here, also if you see always on screen mods for the phone.
I've ordered it! It looks good but won't ship until next month!
