"Pull Tab" Leather Pouches

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PU-LEATHER-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item2576d5cc20
What do ya'll think?
Am I right to guess that there won't be many cases available for this phone?

I kinda like it, reminds me of those leather pouches that used to come with BlackBerry's. Picking up a black one probably.

Remember that the Nexus 4 is significantly larger than the iPhone 4 (which is the model phone they have used for the case) so the case may be too small for it. :/
iPhone 4:
115.2mm H
58.66mm W
9.3mm D
Nexus 4:
133.9mm H
68.7mm W
9.1mm D
However those cases look really good for the price. Hmmmm...

Looks like a nice case. I'll certainly consider this as one of my leading contenders for a day-to-day holster for my N4. Thanks for the link.

I ordered this one to protect the phone until I get a case for it, it fits the Galaxy S 3 so it should be able to fit the LG Nexus 4:

Well the title says it's for the LG Nexus 4? Think they just made it according to measurements, or made a mockup of some sort?
I really like that brown one lol

Thanks! Might order 1 in case I got tired of bumper case.

Id definately buy one of these but have smilar concerns as the poster above, nowhere on there does it give you the dimentions
If they're designed for and Iphone 5 then it isnt going to fit an N4
Stret

I will pick up a HTC sensation xl leather slip case. The dimensions look about right and should suffice until something better is released.

Looks like the One X cases would also work, think I will get this for now: http://goo.gl/iVzQ4

I did ask the seller if it would fit the Nexus 4. He/She said that the case would fit and is the XL case. So I guess the picture is just stock?

For £2.40 and free P&P, there's no point in not trying. If this fits, it will be perfect as I didn't want to get a case to hide the glass and holographic design.

Found another pull tab case, just under $6 after shipping. I snagged the last one in black, but they have one left in purple if anyone is interested.

Black and brown on their website. That brown looks really good, obvious grain, love it. If I'd have found their site first, I would have been torn between black and brown. They also have hot pink, but that just looks tacky.

That brown is nice :good: But would it look good with the Nexus 4? I haven't bought one, because I'm still holding out in hopes for other cases/pouches/etc.... BUT for the price, I think I should just take the plunge. When you receive it, could you comment back on how it fits? Or make a review!? :good:

I've ordered one of these too. I got a stylus with mine so if all else fails I'll have that for my Nexus 7. It should fit as it does state that its for the Nexus 4.

Nexus 4 Case ( Video)

So i just got my case , ordered it from ebay, was £2.99, think its gone up to £3.99 now, but its nice! I mean its plastic, and it takes away a bit from the niec glass feel, but it sure beats a cracked phone lol
Made a video here - http://youtu.be/jdE-1LVqbrA
Link to the case is in the description

Nice! Can you still see the nice effects of the back of the nexus?

I mentioned it in the video, you can , but only in the bottom right corner , i mean, the case is nice, but it doesnt feel quite as nice as the glass , but i just dont wanna break it lol

Nice video review, thanks. I am really torn with whether to get a case or not. I really do love the look and feel of the phone without a case or bumper, but as you said it's nice to have some type of protection.
For me I think the clear case or a bumper would be the best options because you still want to be able to see that pretty back side. Thanks again.

Ordered the clear 1 myself still waiting on it coming though...

Wireless Charging?
The main thing holding me back from getting a case is that it seems like most of them would interfere with wireless charging. I'd love to see a review that includes testing with a Qi charger.

Ended up ordering a clear one even though my nexus is not here yet LL3

Just ordered the clear case. For under $2 Canadian you can't go wrong.

thanks for the review on youtube, i ordered this one in red.
its now £3.90 but it comes with an s pen and possibly a screen protector (i dont know)

I have this same case (except the black one) and use the energizer QI charger and it works just fine through the case. After it's been charging for a while it has a little stuck feel to it just like when plastic gets warm. It's not melting or anything, but it has a feel like there was a small magnet holding it in play after it gets warm. Doesn't do that without the case.
I'm not a huge case fan and I would use the phone naked because I'm really careful with my stuff, but the phone slides from the glass back. Different surfaces at different speeds, but I have seen it fall off many things from watching it. I am going to try a back screen protector and see if that prevents it from sliding and just go with that if it does. That a side, this case feels really good for the price.

Plasti-Dip'd my battery cover.

For those of you that aren't familiar with Plasti-dip, it's basically rubber in an aerosol can. It dries matte black in color and it's rubber, so of course, it's nice and grippy . It doesn't hurt that it looks good either. And if you decide you don't want it anymore, it peels off like a piece of tape. It really is amazing stuff.

In the top pic, you can vaguely make out the verizon logo, but it's nothing a second coat can't fix.
I'm going to walk around with like I normally would and check out the wear to decide if additional coats are necessary.

I never thot about that haha I stay plastic dipping my maros hood but never thought about phone haha

Interesting. I just picked up the S3 and I feel like I have to hold it with two hands at all times so I don't drop it. I'll be interesting to hear how your fix stands up to day to day use.

Looks good.. i'm really considering doing this to mine now

Looks...interesting. Would a phone skin would stick to it? I am tired of my pebble blue battery cover and blue themes. Black looks great with everything.

how does it affect reception, if at all?

Looks pretty cool. What is the cost of plastidip compared to a stock back panel?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Nice work.
No drips and it looks very smooth with slight texturing.
Even though the S3 is smooth it's still has a little grip to it.
I liked the S2 textured back cover, as well as the grippy Evo 4G, but you seem to have found a nice diy fix

I would say that rubber, silicone, etc. wouldn't affect reception at all.
Metal, aluminum, etc. would though.
Or metallic substances embedded in a substance which otherwise wouldn't affect reception.

You can find a can at Home Depot or Lowes for like 8 bux. Comes in black, white and yellow.
The one coat job didn't hold long. It started to pull up along the edge. So i'm thinking a quick spray around the edge up into the underside should secure it a bit better (might also fix that creak noise near the volume rocker ). The thinner the better so as to not obstruct the snaps. Will update when completed

Just got a can of black for 5.95 at home depot.

did you spray just the outside of the back cover? i'm just a little worried of my battery getting a little hot and having the plasti-dip melt into the back of the phone... no issues so far? it is a great diy idea, and i'm gonna try it on my extended battery cover. i can't find a decent case at a reasonable price and the 6$ for a can of plast-dip is perfect.
BTW, being a NYer, i blow thru the soles of my sneakers. Plasti-dip +shoe goo= almost brand new soles...

You all should just use Rhinoliner like for a truck bed.. Haha.. Plenty of grip then and no peal

Spigen Neo Hybrid Spare Frames

I just spoke to Spigen and they said they will begin selling frames separately this month. Hopefully they'll be fair on pricing as i'd like to have a few different colors to switch out every once and a while.

$10 for each

aight you are just like my wife, i hope she doesn't she get to know. she'll want all colors.

I'm awaiting my case.
What I find funny though is that Spigen is selling the frames separately, which is a good thing for color choice, while customers are reporting that their frames are peeling and breaking.
Hmmm.....a self sustaining market.
I'm paying $30+ for a case and I don't expect it to fail in a short period of time, if at all.
Time will tell, but so far the comments are not leaning towards the positive side.

Yeah, mine actually peeled.
I had the neohybrid ex for my s2 and it still like new.
Whereas this time round it peeled barely even one month after use.

I love my neo hybrid but one drop and my frame split. I ordered a real one and when it hit the floor on is corner it cracked then split. I tried super glue but because you have to squeeze the frame on it always splits.
I would like if spigen sells the frames cheaper because now I want new colors plus the one I broke. Im using a fake UAG now and im loving it.

Hm that sucks guys, maybe I've had good luck with mine. I've dropped my Neo Hybrid an effing ton all over the place and the frame is still scratchless and no paint has come off

I don't think they'll do squat about this.
There's a warning not to separate frame from the TPU/Silicone. They'll probably try to blame it as user inflicted damage.

[REQUEST] Review of Replica Nexus 6P "Case"

Here is the link to the case I am talking about: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151939386658&alt=web

Just got mine. It is definitely a fake cover. If you have the official one from Google you will see the difference in the felt. It isn't even felt on this particular case. Not unattractive per se but not as good as the official.

The Nexus 6P doesn't have the most inspiring design, but when it comes to hardware prowess, value for money and Google extras, this best-ever Nexus is hard to beat.
