having case confusion - recommendations / thoughts?

chezybezy · Feb 11, 2013

ok im trying to figure out what to do with my new nexus 4. any help would be appreciated as i cant figure out what to do.

given that its glass and i usually end up with one or two drops in a year im looking into cases. not to mention its slippy!

atm im using a TEMP cheap case from ebay its the sorta slim kind.

im toying with the following but cant figure out what to go for / would be needed:

official google bumper.
Google Nexus 4 Ringke Fusion
Ionic GUARDIAN Armor Case
something like the ArmourDillo Hybrid Protective Case.

should i get a back and front protectors?

i am in the UK so im struggling to find recommended items in other threads that i can actually get.

finally i prefer to get a charging doc as i like to use it for a bedside clock while it charges but im not sure many of the cases above will work so id be willing to use a normal stand along with a manual plug in charger if it means my phone is protected.

I'm thinking this one at the moment, looks really nice and still see the back. See the same as you mentioned

That Ringke Fusion one is quite nice for a case actually.

My phone due any moment and want the case now but appears to be a wait for it, as with everything else to do with this phone

Androidified A2 TPU Case for Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 - LG - Cases

Bugdroid Circuit Case for Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 - LG - Cases

I have 3 cases from the links above: A red Bugdroid, a Teal one, and a red Androidified case. They fit extremely well, with little bulk added to the overall size. These are the first TPU cases I've owned, I usually go with Seidio. I would usually recommend them first, but the TPU cases are cheaper for similar protection. Plus, the Seidio cases weren't around when I needed them. If you care to take a look, here's a link.

I'm using the diztronic - bought in from the States. So far I've had one big drop onto a hard wood floor and a couple of minor slips and it has paid for itself very nicely thanks. Great protection and looks sleek too.

My official bumper case is all that i need and has taken tumbles like falling from chest height onto a hard floor and the old fashion get out of the car with it in your lap. To be honest I had forgotten it was a case for a while. I hope it plays nice with my charging orb though.

I have a Diztronic TPU, Rinke Slim and a Seidio Surface and Active case.

Order of protection: Seidio Active, Surface, TPU, slim.

Personal preference: Seidio Surface, Active, Rinke Slim, TPU.
