I got my Nexus a couple of weeks ago, but I feel like I REALLY NEED a case, but i've heard bad things about it, but is it really that bad?
Or can you recomend me another good quality case?

Dont buy it unless you want dirt to scratch your phone constantly. Check Amazon for TPU/Rubber/Silicone cases which are way better.

Its not bad per se but its not the best. There really aren't a lot of hard case options out there to be honest. I have the platinum for mine but since putting Ghost Armor on my phone I've not felt the need. My wife still has her platinum case on and she seems to like it or at the least not mind it.

Do not put that case on ur phone. I had to exchange my phone cuz that case mangled it. The best kind of case to get for this phone is a silicone one. I use the amzer one an love it

How did it mangle your phone? I had it on my phone for a few weeks with no damage and its been on my wife's phone for almost a month, half of which her phone has also had ghost armor on which makes the case a very tight fit and it hasn't even nicked the ghost armor. I just checked.

Sorry! Won't happen again.
It is that bad. Order a case on Amazon. I bought the simple Amzer silicon gel and I love it. Its like six bucks, fits perfect, buttons push really easy and it doesn't seem to attract much lint. They also have a TPU case and some other options. The one at best buy is terrible. Its a little loose, feels slippery in the hand and scratched the back on the phone.

The Best buy case and the amzer are both junk but they are your only choices.
the best buy case is available on ebay for 6.95 shipped. The one from best buy is a generic. I bought it and it's loose and build quality is garbage. I took a eye glass cleaning cloth and stuck it between the back of the phone and the case, and when I snapped it shut, it's much more solid. No more creaking.

It scratched the **** out of my battery cover an put alot of dot scuffs an nicks all over the bezel. Im sure using the case with ghost armor or a zagg would prevent it from hurting the phone but if u dont use anything like that with that case it will mess it up
Just got my Moto X 2014 and the leather is so cheap and thin. Im so scared this is not going to last long. Why did Motorola use such a thin piece of leather? It also looks cheap.
Hey, I was wondering if the leather was thin or cheap?
Personally, I've had my black leather Moto X for a few weeks now, and I'm quite impressed at the quality of the leather. I guess my expectations were set when I had the wood back on the 2013 Moto X and took the back off to see the wood was probably around a millimeter thick. I guess I don't see them using more than 1-2mm for the back of the phone when it's 9.9 mm thick to begin with.
As for how well it will hold up over 2 years, that I can see a concern over... but I was willing to take the chance.
Did you want a big thick hunk of leather sticking out over the sides of the phone?
how do you know how thin it is? did you take the back off? This is horween leather, which is the same tannery that makes the leather for NFL official footballs. I really don't think this is cheap leather. Personally I am extremely pleased with the overall look of my leather back. If you want it to last 2 years, you just have to take really good care of it. Personally I am done letting people hold my phone because for some reason when I tell them it is leather they can't help but dig their nails into it. Also if you think the leather looks cheap, why did you order a leather back? there have been plenty of pictures floating around the web that clearly show how the leather looks.
Im just use to the old leather battery doors that Blackberry Bolds had. Its thin I can see it between the cam. I do love the phone. Just wish maybe I would of held off on the leather. Also the gold accents you cant see the color. I should of went with a brigter color.
What do you mean you can see it between the cam? Pretty sure there is a return policy if you are that unhappy with it

Have had mine for a couple weeks now and no issues here. It is holding up great and feels great. Personal preference I guess.
I have been loving my leather back. I seen reviewers say it scars easy and stuff like that. Mine seems to heal it's self of like creases when something is pressed against it. Though I am sure it would not fare well to scrapes from something rough like a stone or concrete...but then again I don't plan on hitting the back of my phone with those objects.
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a TPU case for my phone, so far these two seem to be the best ones I've found:
- First one
- Second one
Have you guys bought one of these? If yes, can you share your experience with it?
If you bought a different one through Amazon and enjoyed it, please share the link

I recommend the tudia cases. both of them are good. if u want full tpu go the slim fit and if you want dual layer kind off stylish case then the cygen will be a good choice.
sorry but never tried the cases you mentioned though.

I have the first one you posted. It fits pretty well. I have moved on to the "unicorn beetle" case though and love it
BTW, the back of the case is clear...I have a carbon fiber skin on the back of the phone.
Looks pretty slik bro.... ?

I've used to have the first case on your list, but now I have moved on to TUDIA Ultra Slim.
While the first one was o.k. , the TUDIA simply outrank it in every single way. Very happy with it.
Two thumbs up on the TUDIA. I got one for my Moto G 2nd Gen right after I got it and love it. Mine is black and looks like part of the phone. The only complaints I've seen on it are some folks saying the power button is hard to push. It is a little stiff, but my wife is small and she can push it.
I'm using the second one and it's OK.

+1 for the Cygen case! It's not too bulky, has nice reinforced corners, and looks pretty nice too. I will say that initially, the outer cover is a bit slippery, but it's gotten better. Also, the side buttons are a bit stiff - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I do like how easy it is to pull out of my pocket.
ya i brought
i brought cruzerlite budroid for moto G 2104 it fits nice & wow all like them.....
Hi all. I got my g4 about a week ago and I've already nicked the front bezel. I have a case that I use when I'm running or at the gym, but I really like the phone without a case for day-to-day use. I like the look and feel of the leather so i really don't want to cover it.
Does anyone know of a good way to protect the bezel? maybe a thin skin to stick onto it?
thanks.
EDIT:
It looks like there are some bumper options available. I'll give that a try.

Got one on ebay just like that with no brand name on it About $5. Absolutely creases the leather. Also wore down one edge a bit from when I was doing battery swaps, from taking it on and off. Otherwise nice.

Any pics of the damage done to the back cover? Maybe shouldn't consider it at all if it damages the leather...

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?
also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.
