Is your phone naked and will you keep it naked?

I was reading some threads people were getting scratches just laying it on a table and what not. i still have the plastic it came with, but now for me its coming off and i wont have a case here anytime soon.
How is your back holding up with you guys just keeping it naked? still crystal clear? i had an iP4 but it was always cased up.

Mine is good, but I also haven't put it to real world use yet. I will probably get a case whenever better options are available. I did just harder that Spigen screen protector though.

Yes and yes. I really hate cases. I see my phones as products I use. I never broke one, but a few had some little scratches. But hey, for me that's way better than a case.
The official bumper looks nice, but I still wont put in on my phone.

yea i feel the same way but due to the place i work at an automotive shop i keep my phone in my front shirt pocket. sometimes when i bend down it tends to slip out and i feel only thing that will protect that is a otter box or some sort of hard case.

Naked all the way. However i have always treated all my phones like my baby.

I am sternly against any protection for phones. I hate them. I don't pay hundreds of dollars for gadgets to hide them...lol

Just noticed a small scratch on the back of mine - it's very fine - probably from putting it down on a table.
I hate to think what it's going to look like in a few months. I'm going to take extra care from now on.

Backordered baby!

I'll put mine in a tpu case as soon as I can. If I keep it unprotected and life happens unexpectedly then I'd have to hide an ugly cracked back anyway. Either way I think it's funny when people criticize one another's choices when it comes to case/no case. To each their own!

Exactly.

I plan on keeping it in the silk bag my sunglasses came in until my best skins ever full body protector comes in. Haven't ordered a case yet, will probably order an androidified case soon tho.

Mine is naked. I've never liked cases or covers, but it is a very slippery device. It'll have to be a really nice looking case for me to cover my Nexus 4 up.

Whats D Nexus⁴ Case Ure Using? Plan To Get Nicer Ones :D

Lets discuss on the casings for Nexus⁴ attactive(Cool Design) ones and protective(Flip Cases) ones! Please do provide names or links or pictures for it
Nexus⁴ is indeed a hot device, its worth my waiting like a drug addict everyday bugging my gmail for the shipping notification.
there r few cases about the glass at the back experiencing minor cracks,
so i think its better to protect it even though it looks gorgeous without casing and so hard to get a new one
i already had this Nillkin Flip Case at Tmall on standby, bought it from china's "amazon", tmall.com, their original factory's online store
Then i saw Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 TPU Case For Nexus⁴(Teal) attracted by its Android design,
while scrolling around i saw another nice oneXdadevelopers's CASE for Nexus⁴, also by Cruzerlite.
Both are looking cool, but before i buy them i wanna know if there are other casings with Cool Designs out there? Since i chose Cruzerlite because of its designs. I want my phone to look nice even with cases on.
I also need Flip Cases (Book Style)(prefer leather ones, because Nillkin's surface didnt convice me and it gets dirty easily those who had Nillkin flip case will know about this) and as what you all know, Flip Cases for Nexus 4 is extremely hard to find
what i want is 1 Cool Looking, and 1 Flip Case(Book Style) , both are hard to find,
other casings like diztronics' simple design or other cases that i found in this forum board even though they may give protection to device but their design didnt appeal to me(not to insult)
thats why i wanna find out if there are better ones, those who knows of Cool Looking, and Flip Case please do tell me about it, simple user review if possible :highfive:

I too have the xda case on order even though I have a set up I am currently satisfied with. I have now, the Diztronic Ultra hard thin that doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone like the Diztronic TPU does. It works for me because I can now use the Seidio Surface spring holster made for the GNEX without much of an issue. The thiness of the shell works for me but not for all, so you'll need to decide what you are comfortable with.
According to your list, you are looking at tpu all the way. For the choices listed, which I have most of them except for the Cruzerlite models, I would go for the Diztronic tpu. It's pretty darn thin and the only negative is that the logo on the tpu is a bit glossy for my taste, but you get used to it . Happy shopping!

urm not necessarily tpu, im looking towards more good appearance cases thats what cruzerlite design attracted me
my plan is to use 1 nice looking flipcase for full protection, and another nice looking which only covers back :laugh: as long as its looking good even when not naked :highfive:

I love my poetic bumper, I had an sline tpu case and it was ok but the power button became increasingly difficult to press.

I got the Poetic case when it was for under $4 and I absolutely love it! I am wallet-free as of now, since all I carry is the phone and the case which holds 3 cards and cash. It takes time for the leather to stretch and accomodate 3 cards, but now its the best thing I bought, well, after my N4 lol
The only downer is its a pain to use this case by just one hand, and taking a picture without the aid of the other hand is next to impossible.
So I've ordered the amCase(TM) Slim fit case for Google Nexus 4 -Matte Black for under $3 including shipping. Should be here tomorrow/Tuesday, so will update my post.

Walking out Nude! Or not

Being that the phone is made out of aluminum you would think it won't break as easy as any plastic phone.
I'm considering going without a case due the fact that a case just takes away all the beauty of the phone.
Anybody else doing the same?

I did that with my old iphone 5. Terrible mistake. Tiny scratches on the side of the phone. Plus if you drop it it will make a nice ugly scuff.
But if your careful, go ahead, go naked.

Too much risk for a beautiful phone.

A lot of people buy phones then resell them to get the next big thing. You drop the phone, the resale value plummets.
You don't have to get a dam otter box and cover it up. Just a clear case would do, or any of those skin protectors.
But hey, if your super duper careful go case less. Just trying to save people from the drop of doom.
But nvm, I had to reread the op, you already made up your mind going case less. GL

Could care less about resale value, I bought it to use it and enjoy it, and in the case of the One (and One X), how they felt in my hand and how they looked had more to do with my decision to buy them as the hardware specs.
I've got a drawer full of old phones, I don't resell anything, though I might give one away or loan one out.
I drop it and break it, oh well, I'll get another one. I put a blemish on it, oh well, I live with it.
Scratches on the camera lens are no big deal either, it's a cell phone camera, it looks like crap to varying degrees even when it's un-scratched.

i take pride on taking care of my phones and keeping them always clean, i went nude to work today, and after a long shift at work, i come back home and i have one tiny scratch on the back of my phone, its very tiny not noticeable, but its still very stressful, will buy a case tomorrow asap!

My One X is in pretty good shape, no protection. I have a scratch on the glass that was clearly from a diamond ring. Other than that there is miniscule damage in one place on the metal strip around the screen.
The SIM tray looks atrocious, but protection wouldn't help with that since I use it; it appears to be made of some kind of soft cheese. A new one is less than a fiver.

Best case to use with these pretty phones is a pouch. That way u slide it in the pouch when in your pocket and not using it , and you take the phone out of the pouch so you and everyone around you admire it when use want use. :screwy:

Personally I always go bare. The One is so beautiful as well that I think a case is a double-crime.
I usually 'dedicate' a pocket to my phone and keep everything else (car keys, change etc) in others.

Thin hard case with decent grip?

I have the diztronic tpu, but it just seems to add too much bulk for my taste, and it's slippy as hell. I have better grip without a case.
I have searched a lot here and Google, but no one really seems to talk about any of the hard cases having decent texture that helps with grip.
Are there any options that I have missed?

This is what you want: Poetic Palette SLIM

Oh the diztronic is a great don't get me wrong, and I only use tpu cases (diztronic, s-line, cruzerlite) on my other phones. I just find that unlike my last phone (one x) the nexus 4 is a little too bulky with a tpu case on it. Plus the finish on is just soooo slippery.
I have never used a hard case before since they seem to add very little protection compared to tpu, but I want to keep the nexus as thin and light as possible. While still giving decent protection to the screen.
Unlike a lot of people I don't care if my phone itself gets a scratch or ding in the casing of the phone. Only thing I really care about is keeping the screen as perfect as possible.

Feel is great, and it will prevent the back and sides from getting scratched, but offers little protection from drops (especially if it lands on the bottom or top as there is not much of those areas that are covered). No real shock absorption either.

Has anyone seen a review or tried one of these cases?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-Rubber-T...var&hash=item43babd2e20&_uhb=1#ht_1267wt_1190
Its a two piece hard case but it does offer protection of all the sides.

Well, that doesn't seem all that surprising with so many reports from folks who have problems with the phone sticking to the orb. Mine sticks great to a slick surface. Not so much to a porous one.

Another vote for the Meifeng. I gave my original to a friend because I was on the whole bumper bandwagon. I missed it so much I ordered a new one. Great feeling in the hand. Not so great with the top/bottom protection but it's grippy so hopefully you won't drop it.

Nexus 6 - To Case or Not To Case

That is the question. Are you gonna put a case on your nexus 6? Spigen has multiple cases on their website(http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6.html), they look pretty decent, however i might go with no case so i can always have direct contact with the premium materials. Im thinking about getting a squate trade warranty instead so i do have some protection if the screen breaks. Any opinions on squaretrade?

No way, the phone is big enough. Plus, whenever I get a case I end up taking it off in a day.

I use Bugatti hand made leather case whit all my phones. Top ****. But right now, there's no XXL case for N6 yet.
shopbugatti.com/en-us/catalog/mobile-accessories/universal-cases
(Add ww. can't post link, i m new on forum).

I pre-ordered spigen via Amazon, but I would prefer without because the phone is already very big.
The question is, how easy is to replace the back plate or back battery door?
I don't have any experience with Motorola phone, and from my experience with Nexus 5 from LG, that's not really easy, need to pry it open!
If the material is not expensive and easy to purchase, I won't use a case.
However, I am not sure with the frame around the phone, the one looks like a silver lining. Is that part of the back plate or front plate?

I think a leather pouch case would work the best for such a large device. You keep the device protected when transporting aswell as the benefit of using the device naked.

I totally agree with you. This is what I'm planning to do and that's how I used all my phones since the HTC Desire. It's like an awesome mix! Just need to remember to blow it out time to time for possible sand.

the heavier the device the more acceleration when in free fall before impacting a hard surface. I'm getting a case for sure, the spigen slim armor is a start

I don't know yet. Maybe something from Seidio

I like having a cheap easy on / off tpu case. It's nice to just throw it on quick if heading out to bar hop. That's the only time I worry about needing a case!

Anyone familiar with squaretrade warranty?

I actually took my Note -2 out of the case for a day... and dropped it. Shattered the screen. Got a replacement through insurance, and lost my unlocked bootloader. Been using an otterbox since. For this phone, Otterbox is just going to be too big. I'm looking for something that will protect it from falls, but that isn't so wide/thick! Any thoughts anyone?

A very, very thing profile case. I would hate to get scratches on the metal frame or the back. But I love naked phones so I might just stick with a bumper case.
I will probably use a glass screen protector though.

Otterbox doesn't make Nexus cases.
