I advise people to stop waiting around for CERTAIN cases to be made and bumpers to become available. Get a case on your phone ASAP to avoid being a statistic in the crack phone category.
Already on it. Got the Poetic bumper as well as a TPU case since the bumper arrives a month later and the TPU case was only 2 bucks.

I have the S-line TPU case which I really don't want. I already scratched the chrome bezel a little bit, unknowingly, so I had to settle for the S-line from Ebay. It costs a few bucks but it works very well, I just wished they made cutouts for the power and volume.

Exactly I ordered my case prior to getting my phone. Even though I still had to walk around with my phone with no case for about a week and some change. The case had extremely slow shipping so I had to baby my phone and I still manage to scratch the chrome This phone is a work of art.
I have an s-line too. Does the job, and I've always had tpu cases on my phones so no big deal to me far as hiding the phone's beauty.

phone and s-line tpu case arrived on the same day, still waiting for screen protector, keep original plastic on, back to google when replacement arrives. So far no scratches no cracks. I want to attach a hand strap to the tpu case. Also looking for a tactical nylon holster large enough to fit n4 with this tpu case but also a ballistic case if i get one in the future. Don't see any good ones online. Local stores don't even have cheap leather belt clip holsters for phones this size.
Whats wrong with the s line tpu case? I'm using it and love it. It is thin though...

Can't imagine putting a case on this phone. Its so nice to be touching glass all the time. On the Gnex it was no big deal because touching plastic or touching TPU, whats the difference. But the Nexus 4 I need in my hands raw and unmolested.

You might never drop your phone or you might drop it many times. But accidents do happen, it's life. Just because you try to prevent something from happening doesn't mean it will.
Never used a case or screen protector, never will. All my phones still look mint. I will try a bumper when those come in to see if I like that as this is the first time I've got a glass back and I'd rather not scratch it setting it down on some grains of sand unknowingly.
This is also why I buy square trade warranty, so I can enjoy using my phone without crap all over it.

I am just using a front and back skin to protect the glass from scratches. The official bumper is the only case I've used and it adds too much girth to the phone for me (I think it actually increased my chances of dropping the phone). If I do drop it... I'll deal. This phone is just too nice to hold as is. Case-less for me.

It's worth getting this phone protected
I've never used a case protector for any smartphone I've owned, and have always accepted the fact that there will be scratches. However, I've just taken my N4 out of my jacket pocket to find a large shatter on the back glass. Wasn't dropped or bashed or anything, I've no idea how it happened. Although the glass back looks cool, it's frankly a ludicrous design, and as well as being a potential scratch magnet, it's also so slippery that it slides off anything that isn't totally horizontal. It's now going to LG for repair, sadly not covered by the warranty. I hate to think what it's going to cost, so I would really advise people to get some kind of protection for their handset!

Pouches are the way to go (to avoid sand particles in your pocket). Skin protectors, bumpers and the like are all just nuisances.
I say enjoy just enjoy the phone given the price. It's not like you paid $700 for it.

I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!

Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.
Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.
Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.

I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

All yhe reviews on that thing say the kickstand is a POS... is it really that bad?.. I probably wouldn't use it but it would kinda suck if I broke it the 1st time I used it... what's your thoughts on it?

The best grippy case and most protective case you will find is I Face case

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..

That looks pretty good.. may have to get one if that one from Ebay turns out to be crap..

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

I actually meant (egrips) since I had seen it recommended in another thread here
Hopefully this might be some help
Hey guys!
I'm just curious as how people are considering using their cases.
There was a poll like this on Nexus 10 and naked won hands down. But seeing as this is a phone, I thought maybe it'd be different.
Maybe post as to why you use your phone naked, or otherwise?
Anyways, happy voting!
Personally, I use it naked because it just feels better that way. I also never drop things, so I'm not worried about any damage.
I use mines with a screen protector and the spigen case but I'm still after a couple weeks I'll take it off and use it without a case.

Oh.. we're talking about phones here.. thank god.
LOL.
Protected.
Going for the Ringke SLIM case for the most minimal protection since I'm okay with phones and take care of them. Provides enough protection for the camera.
Hopefully arriving this week?
Protected! Are you crazy? My N5 came out of the box and went straight into a spigen neo hybrid and a screen protector was placed on top. I'm too clumsy to go naked, I've already knocked the thing off my night stand while reaching for something else.
Well I can't throw it at a wall with just the ringke slim case and screen protector but some protection is better than none, I just wish places would make a true full body protection film for it, kind of like the skinomi I have on my n4 (it covers front, back and sides) so far I'd only seen ones that cover front and back not the sides.
Naked
Naked FTW. Went naked with my N4 without issue for 10 months.

as much as i'd want to have it naked, i have mine in a case.
I've seen drop tests, the plastic exterior seems to imprint pretty easily.
Always gone nekkid. Nexus 5 in white looks slick, why ruin that with a case?

I was wondering how many people out there got the white nexus and covered it up with a case! lol
Black phones lose that nice soft touch feel and white phones lose their good looks. White phone is a bit slippery with that glossy edge and I feel insecure holding it nekid especially while taking pictures.

what happened on the 11th month?
lol jk
Protected. Every now again, I'll want to take off the case and go naked it.
But that's when it happens to slide off a table from someone bumping into it and the screen cracks. Lookin' at you, Galaxy SIII....
Naked, considering there's no official case out yet. It seems third-party cases never fit as well for feel as comfortable as those made by the manufacturer. Even when the official cases do come out, I'll probably skip it. With the soft plastic, the N5 feels less fragile than the typical phone and I'm really careful with it anyway.
With the screen protectors on (not a full on case), does the quality of the screen go down?
Thinking about going naked. Haven't found a case that keeps it slim. All cases I've tried add too much bulk.
Mine fell out of my shirt pocket on Christmas day and cracked the screen. It was $125 for a new one overnighted from CA. I had ordered a case but it hadn't arrived yet. The screen didn't come with the middle housing so you can see where it hit the ground on the plastic. I'll worry about that when its time to get rid of the phone.

I'm keeping screen naked. Definitely not case. Rather have a tiny bulk than 3 foot drop shatter/crack. Slim/feather doesn't even protect much. I wound up sticking with Verizon TPU/OG Incepio. Better for me my phone travels through some rough times, personal and work lol.
No way, if i didnt had a case mine would be dead right now. It felt From my ear/shoulder position when i was talking and opening my car.
Enviado do meu LG-D802
Mine broke completly after falling from about 30 cm, I'm buing case for sure
This phone is too slippery without a case I'm not taking any chances with it. I have the Spigen Slim armor case with Zagg HD screen protector and it looks beautiful and feels great. I ran my G Pro naked but at least that phone was easier to grip since it was larger. To those running no screen protection good luck. It's only a matter of time before it's scratched and scuffed and ugly. The glass screen protector on my G Pro was scratched to hell after just a few weeks in my pocket and I don't stuff anything in the same pocket as my phone except for maybe paper cash or receipts. I babied that phone. My keys never shared the same pocket. I've never seen any screen stand up to regular use after a while without any sort of protection.
I'm using an xtremeguard skin and screen protector. That helps with the slippery back. Not that helpful with actual impacts, but fine for scratches and things.
Side note: use code: 90off2 for 90% off 2 or more items right now (unknown expiration). Two sets of L2 G2 skins and screen protectors comes out to $2.20 after shipping right now.
One month in naked screen. I try and be careful. Not saying it won't happen, but so far so good. I have yet to find olive I like and won't lift with TPU or bubble at edge. :/
I ordered a wallet case for my G2, but have been rocking he naked look for a month now. No complaints here, but there are moments when I need a case (at the club)

Incipio Brig.
Not much added bulk and the grip is the best.
Best case I've ever used for any phone.
LG G2
I got on off those poetic slim cases along with a reiko horizontal case. The slim case has a nice touch that doesn't make it slippery.

Screen seems very weak on this phone already scratched 2 of them. On my third already. No idea how first happened, had the window case on and got one dead center of the screen. Next one was from just flipping the phone over to snooze alarm on my nightstand. Keep trying screen protectors but hate the feel of them and like how this phone feels naked. Prolly gonna have to force myself to keep a screen protector on at least this time and prolly the case.

Using a Fosmon I got off ebay for 3.95. I hated the way this phone felt without a case.
I'm using the Nillkin Dolextech, and while it does not add much bulk, it will protect it from scratches and dents if it lands on a corner or back.
It also has a Nexus 5'ish feel, with a pattern on the back for better grip. It also comes with a screen protector, which while not being the best quality, is fine for protection against scratches.

Im an otterbox dealer, so I basically had a Defender on this thing from day 1.
Id never run a phone without one.

Dropped the phone once without the but no damage. I usually make sure I have a sturdy grip on the phone. Also I don't let my phone go without knowing for sure I'm actually putting it in my pocket.... Lol.
The case looks nice. But still rocking the naked look.

Ahh I know that feeling. You think you've put it in but nop, gravity hates us all.
Had the phone for well over a month now. No case or screen protector. Phone lives in my pocket whilst I'm at work (I work with fibreglass, resins, cardboard packing and general lifting), comes to the pub, friend's houses for drinks and shenanigans. So far so good. Still looks new.
