Are any cases available right now? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm leaving for vacation on the 18th, giving me three business days to receive the device (UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays, I believe) which is already making me nervous. If I do actually receive the device, I'm absolutely terrified that I won't have a case, especially considering this device is made mostly of glass. I've seen a couple but none of them are actually available until the 17th at the earliest. Are there any available right now? I'm not being picky at all. Anything will work. It can definitely be something temporary. Hell, I'll even accept silicon. That's how desperate I am.

I haven't been able to find much at all. But if you're looking for a quick fix, there are some leather pouches on ebay being marketed for the Nex4. I've contacted one of the ebay sellers and asked about the dimensions....They said it was the correct size for it.

I'll probably have to go with one of those even though they don't really offer the protection I need...especially for the Black Friday shopping I'll be doing. But they're better than nothing, I suppose. Hopefully I can buy one that will ship quickly. Thanks for the links!

^ i wouldn't consider a screen protector a case.
i hope there will be options for bumpers. i hate cases, but i'm deathly afraid of cracking the glass

Yeah, it's not exactly what I'm looking for either. But considering my luck with phones in the past.....I need something at least. I want a really good case, but I don't want to get the phone and wait a week or two for a case to be produced and then break it.... That's No Bueno.

Exactly. And I wouldn't be so worried if I were going to be at home. But I'm going to be staying in a cabin with wood floors and in a largely populated area Black Friday shopping. It's basically a recipe for disaster. In a way, it might be a good thing if I did wait...but there's no way I can do that :laugh:

I did consider this, but it seems that it won't be released until the 20th. I ordered a front protector (which I might cancel and order both the front and back soon) from XOSkins that is apparently supposed to ship out on the 13ths. I'm taking a ton of gambles with this one.

Pretty good deal. I love how they advertise the picture of a white i9100 for the front and the back of the real Note lol. But I've bought from them and they're legit, but my keyboard box was all beat up, the keyboard was pristine. It took them about 1-2 weeks for my keyboard order to arrive, I believe as there is so much demand for the things they sell.

Dude, ive been married almost 3 years now and I know the work-around for your issue. You order it and when it shows up at your door and she sees it you say: "baby, summer is almost here. I got this for you so you can relax by the pool and read a nice book, or listen to music, or even watch a movie if you'd like" The she gives you a big hug and a kiss and when she gets tired of the damn thing its all yours.
PS: replace pool with balcony/backyard if no pool is available.

I love them. Best budget screen protector IMHO. I Get them for literally every phone I get because of the value/quality.
Think about them as a budget zagg. They are not perfect, but for this price they can't be beat. Plus they ship quickly with tracking and are made in the USA

I've been using these for years. Alan is a stand up guy and each time I've had an issue, he refunds and then asks questions. I've gotten all mine from eBay, the prices seem a little lower there than from his website.
Got mines...
Even though i live at the southern tip of africa.. shipping took just over a week...
Seriously impressed. And after a few days you dont even notice the screen protector. No Orange peel effect like Zagg. And the crispness of the screen is preserved.

Official Samsung Case

I went to Best Buy yesterday to get a case for my new Note 8.0 (AT&T model). After looking at a couple of options, I settled on the official Samsung case. I'm very pleased with it. The protection is great and the cover is very sturdy, yet it adds very little bulk to the device. That's a winning combination in my book. I went for the dark gray case. I don't dig white devices but unfortunately that's the only color AT&T offers. The dark gray case works well with a white device, though, so I'm good. Another thing I like is that the magnet holds the back in place when you use it as a stand. That reduces slippage, which could ruin what is, frankly, one of the best features of the case. Another small little touch that adds character is the nice branding on the case. It's nice without begin egregious.
The only complaint I have is that, since the case is designed to work with every variant worldwide, it has a cutout at the top for the earpiece so you can put it on the international 3G models. Obviously the US WiFi and LTE models don't have the phone hardware so you just see a bit of the Samsung logo through that cutout hole. Looks a little hokey but it's a minor complaint.
Overall I'm very happy with the case. Attached are some pictures. Does anyone else have this case? Do you love it? Do you hate it? If you are in the market for a case, I highly recommend you take a look at it. They're available in gray, white, green, and pink if you want to explore your feminine side. At $50, they're definitely on the pricey side. However, with cases we all know you get what you pay for, generally. I feel like the quality justifies the cost.

I have the Samsung Book Case on my old Tab10.1 and wanted something as close as possible for my 8. It's the best I've seen so far.
Funny thing is that I never noticed the weight of my 10.1 before. Now if I pick up the 10.1 after using the 8, it feels like a 5lb bag of sugar.

Agreed. The reviews tend to justify the $350 price, but it's just not a magic spot. $299 along with an actual advertising campaign would've sold these things like hotcakes.

That's really a pretty inflamatory question. The same could be said of virtually any retailer that discounts any product on Cyber Monday. Irrespective, Newegg's generous return policy makes it a non sequitur.

I saw all three at my local store a couple of nights ago. The moron that made the display tags for them labelled them all "16GB $179.99 on a two year contract". The person that greeted me at the door didn't even know that they were in the store. Inspiring.

It feels softer/less slick than most ballistic nylon that I've handled. Also snagged all of the microscopic burs on my skin, like a microfiber cloth. Caused a "nails on a chalkboard" sensation. I'm set on the 64GB though so I'll have to live with it.

Thats discouraging. I'll have to feel it out a bit, I could see that getting annoying. I'll probably end up buying that one anyway, cuz I reeaaally don't like the kevlar look anymore. It was cool when they first started doing it with the OG Razr and such, but now it just seems tacky and dated.
I've never seen the Kevlar phones of the past, but I thought it looks very good on turbo... Extremely well built. I did like the feeling of the fiberglass phones better on my hand, but will opt for the Kevlar for personal use. I actually like the looks of the Kevlar more than the moto leather or wood.

Curious if it would get any better with time once it's "broken in". I feel like it would be annoying, but it could also smooth out the fibers as you handle it.
Went to the VZW store in the skyway (pretty small store) and they only have the MGF models out on the floor. Might hit the store near home after work and see if they have the nylon out. I liked what I saw, though. A bit bigger than I imagined, but I liked the 2 minutes I spent with it.
