My fiance and I originally tried to order the black Note 4s, but we could only order white at the time.
My white one was available last Thursday and all went smoothly but Best Buy made a mess of her
order so we ended up with a black N4 from Verizon for her. We then came up with the idea to swap
covers and we like the results. Now we're looking for clear cases that will accommodate the mic
holes on the Verizon N4 while still allowing us to appreciate our simple, yet beautiful & most likely not original
(though original to us) works of art.
PS I've never had a female share my taste in phones so this is the first time I've actually able to do
this. It's been a very bonding experience. LOLS! And she did not make me type this part.
I like it!
I'm doing the same but with a white spigen case on Black GN4.
I'm personally considering buying a gold frame to replace the black one once they are available on eBay.
Would be black with gold trim, very nice in my opinion.
Thanks! And you have good taste!

We may end up going your route after all as I hate not having a case on it (at least at first). Still uncertain which cases work for the Verizon model though.
Someone else has your taste in style!

Exactly. Except this would cost ~$10 (we'll know once frames start getting sold on eBay).
yeah, I like white phone with black back!

It's actually super easy to replace! If you watch a Note 4 disassembly video, you'll see that the aluminum frame can be replaced simply by unscrewing the back and undoing the clips. If you'd like to do the same, all you have to do is get a small screw driver and a guitar pick (or plastic knife, or whatever will undo the side plastic clip).
Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OReK7M_6zg0
This guy takes the whole thing apart, but you'll just need to watch up to 4:30 to see what I'm talking about.
This is also useful information for anyone who scratches their camera lens or dings up the frame and wants to replace it for resale or something.

If so, how did it turn out?
Haven't done it yet- I can only find the part through authorized samsung part resellers at the moment and they are trying to charge $100 for it. I am waiting for the chinese manufacturers to sell straight from the factory ($10-15) on eBay. But it will be a direct replacement, super easy to do.

Good luck. Post pics after you do it please!

.... it's time for me to sell mine on craigslist and get something else.
I've already told her I may be trying out the edge and we'll have to switch covers if and when I do so.
She's not very happy about it either, but she'll get over it.
Guys just a quick update for anyone interested in a gold frame. It looks like this one is compatible with the Verizon Note 4...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261701823333
I determined this by downloading the image with entire inside of the frame visible (flat, not the side angle view), and scaling it on screen to the size of my note 4. I then lined it up and it looks like it fits the Verizon mic holes. I believe its because they are the same as the international [N910F] holes. For $60, it's still a bit too much for me, but for some people that really want a black/gold or white/gold look and are willing to pay a little bit for it, it's definitely a great option! Also, it will keep you from scratching the frame that came with the phone for better resale value later.
I haven't seen one that's compatible with the T-Mobile/AT&T version's holes yet. Will keep you all updated.
I did the exact same thing today. I don't use cases and wanted a different look on my Note. Actually wanted just the black back with "Samsung" on it but I found none on Amazon that would let me use my Prime and I have need for instant gratification. So, I went with the black Verizon back on my Frost White Verizon Note. LOVE IT!
Thanks for posting this! I was really curious to see how it would like and it turns out it actually looks quite nice!

That's the stuff I used in my bathroom to frost my windows... I got it wet and slid it on.. used a squeegee and flattened it all out and 3 years later is is still sticking there.
The difference is that this is
1.) Clear
2.) Cut into the proper shape (you could do this yourself with some measuring but it saves hassle)
3.) the squeegee is probably smaller.
My bathroom windows are in a VERY humid environment... I have never had ANY peeling.
However I don't keep my bathroom windows in my pocket... so I don't know if the corners will peel up.
My main point is that for $24 of this "film" to cover a TINY phone... you can buy the same thing for $18 that would cover 10 phones... if the product works fantastic... the profit margin for them is HUGE. If it doesn't work... it's the biggest rip off ever.
See if Gila makes a clear one... get $18 worth and tinker away.

Since you've had the Fuze already... Is the shape exactly the same as the TP? It looks like sprints version is a little more round along the corners. I'd Like to go ahead and purchase one of these for the Fuze but don't want to have to send it back.

The only difference I noticed when seeing the 2 up next to each other was the shape of the speaker hole on the back, that might be enough to throw the protection off. Ask Raspster about it more, he had both the European and the Fuze at the same time, so he could tell you better than I could.
I got one, just to try it out.
Exactly as described above. Its a bit fiddly getting on but once on, it sticks very well.
Its great at sticking to flat surfaces, not so good on curves. And they don't even try and cover the corners on the device, which I would think are the places I'd want protected if I was to drop it.
The texture makes the back look very different from normal; its much nicer without the cover on. On the front, you can't really see the cover at all; edges are perfectly aligned with the phones edges.
The back and the front of the phone are covered very well. Sides not so great. Corners not at all. Front looks good. Back looks crap.
My opinion, its no way worth $24
just got mine on Friday exactly as it's described, protects almost every part of the phone with their cut out plastic shield, however as mentioned in earlier post... doesn't really cover the edges, all in all... does really stick and so far looks pretty ok with the exception of little bubbles within the shield (poor application technique)

I have used the Zagg's products (formerly Invisible Shield) on my 6800, 6700, wifes Centro and even custom ordered for my Pioneer 6800DVD in my car. I really like the product, the service is second to none... That said, I think since I have used the product and know how it performs in pockets, and how to install correctly (installed dozens of shields for myself, family and friends), I may try this new product.
Screen protection has always been great and flat surfaces (side) great as well but the corners usually give way, slide and start to bubble after about 4 months of heavy in and out of the pocket use.
This is a $24 experiment begging to happen.... now if Sprint would just release the damn phone!
I would also like to know this. Can it be removed again without leaving marks on the phone?
How scratch proof is it really?
Because of the lack of info on the site (still no video's on how to apply the thing, their forum is just about empty and they don't reply to customer questions...) they really don't seem to thrustworthy ...

I would get the one released by Zagg. They offer a lifetime replacement on all products and they will replace it no questions I know. Their stuff is nearly impossible to scratch and I TRIED just about everything to scratch it. All phones full covers are $25. Never had any bubbling issues with Zagg's products.
yes it can easily be removed without any mark left at all....I found the cover started to collect dusk a lot (it must be slightly sticky) so I removed it.

Trust me, I know oh too well the replacement process and have replaced and installed many over the last 5 years.
The fact that I know the Zagg product so well, makes the experiment more interesting. I know the Zagg stuff so well that I will know if this Clear Coat stands a chance AND since it's only $25... It might turn out to be junk, the company could not stand behind the guarantee BUT we'll see.
*Update
Just got my phone yesterday and I just ordered the Clear Coat. I'll install and do a little initial write up. I'll order the Zagg shield when it becomes available and do a comparison.
It's only money and it IS a $700 device.... (but I only paid $250 for it)
Stay tuned guys.
**Update
Just ordered a Zagg full body shield at 40% off as they just got them and were doing a Halloween special I guess. I should have the Cleat Coat on Mon/Tues and the Zagg will probably be here the week after. I think I'll install the Clear Coat first, use it for a week or so and then install the Zagg and do the same.

I don't have mine yet but why on earth would there NOT be a cutout for the earpiece???
Why has there not been a single decent case out for this phone? The protective cases are ugly, the fancy cases don't protect, the legit cases break... This is the gosh darn Google Nexus 4! Are people serious? I happen to be the owner of the White 16gb, and I'm starting to wish I didn't buy this phone because of the fact I can't protect it in any decent way. I'm scared for it whenever I go places with it, my screen already has 2 small scratches. You know that feeling you get when you want to punch an inanimate object in the face and your head just explodes trying to calm down about it? Yeah that happened, It's called discontinued for a reason. Is a nice white bumper so hard to ask for? Sure there's the poetic borderline, in great colors...other than white, or the Ringke Fusion, only available in black. Do they not realize the sought after white look on the Nexus 4 -or any phone for that matter- is very prominent in the community? One that doesn't break, or have some lame chinsy stand on the back of it? How about one that doesn't look like you bought it in a twelve pack at the flea market that you have to scrape the molded excess edge off with a razor blade.
Okay, gripe session over.
Seriously! I'd pay 50 bucks to the next guy who can make a Ringke Fusion in white!
People who own this phone either got lucky on an upgrade, or know their stuff. Where is our golden case? Where is our holy grail?
It's one of those moments where I wish I got into engineering and design so I could make a better version myself.
But wait, who is "they"? It's nobody, and this is just a cellular device, that will have a big brother or sister coming out in time. I look at it as part of history. This is the White Google Nexus 4, discontinued and rare, and I want a nice case for it.
With that being said...Can anybody recommend a decent white case for me? I've read, I've researched, I've bought, I've tried, and I'm bored. I stuck with my Google White Nexus Bumper, and will continue to until a nice case comes out. I'm not here to say I have all the qualifications to complain this much about something I quite frankly am not doing much to try and change. But is there anybody out there who owns the White Nexus 4, and feels this same way?
Furthermore, I sincerely hope Google creates a veteran program in the future with nifty benefits for the OG Nexus 4 Owners...just sayin =)

Go to select colour and choose white. There are a couple more around the web if you research correctly, these are the first few that managed to pop in my head. And a white fusion, sounds good but not happening. White cases are usually rare to find, especially a good one regardless of phone but yes the Nexus 4 doesn't have much accessories compared to the mainstream phones. White cases tend to look amazing but get dirty quick. As for scratches on your [email protected] Protectors.

I would not recommend this case. Picked it up for my white Nexus 4 and it discolored/yellowed pretty quickly... ended up tossing it in the trash. White cases for the N4 are definitely harder to find - really wish there was a Ringke Fusion in white... I may just pick up the Ringke Slim in white though.
Alright thanks everyone, I was hoping somebody would mention that white tpu with the clear back, I heard that it scratches up pretty easy and looks like poop after a while. Looks like I'm with the LG bumper for a little while :\ For anybody that's interested, I'm working on a modification to the silver plastic ring around the stock bumper, My plan to dremel away the part that drops down around the usb port, and glue the corners before the drop so that the part that stretches is the rubber around the port as opposed to...well now it's cracked ... the silver plastic, which is why it cracked in the first place. Will post with pics eventually if anybody is interested in seeing how it looks, it's a minor detail, but the cracked pieces keep getting stuck in my pocket when I take it out.
My white Nexus is paired with a Poetic Atmosphere case. The translucent body goes well with the whites and the grey silicon sort of merges with the blacks on the screen edges.
Pair it with a gadget shield full body guard and you have a winner. At least I do...

I would order that ebay one instead of the SG.
I had the SG and it wasn't worth the money. The problem with it is that the silicone isn't a perfect fit so the nexus 4 slides up and down a bit. The plastic piece that goes over the inner silicone cover occasionally comes undone a bit (it's hard to describe exactly) which leads to more sliding of the nexus. The plastic piece doesn't stay on as well as I'd hoped because the silicon is too soft to let it really clamp on well.
That ebay one is much cheaper and appears to be basically the same.
The case I have now and would really recommend is the mybatt. In addition to a back plastic clamp on piece, it also has a front screen side snap on piece so its inner silicon layer is sandwiched securely. I haven't had any sliding issues like I did with the Ballistic. Here's a review someone did on the mybatt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120148
It does come in a couple different colors. I have the all black one because I thought the white might get stained with dirt.

I have the Ballistic case and it fits good. Mine doesnt slide around in the rubber part and Ive never had the plastic cover fall off.
I do wish Gumdrop made a N4 case though.
I fell on some stairs and landed right on my Note 3, cheek to stair. Despite having the Otterbox, I bent it quite a bit and the glass is shattered.
In any case, I'm trying to find the parts I need, and I believe I have, but they are either generic or for US models.
I'm looking at the following two parts from ETrade and I'm wondering if they will work. I've contacted them twice but keep hitting midnight, their time, and they haven't gotten back to me by email.
My phone is SM-N900W8.
The parts I'm looking at are:

I usually use eBay for this kind of stuff... Is anything available there?
Word from eTrade - Not compatible, part for this phone are not currently in the market, they will be sourcing it and will let me know.
Nothing on ebay.
Anyone else have a suggestion? I'm wondering if there is a screen protector with glue that would help fill in the cracks in the glass a bit?

Are you saying digitizer and s-pen work? If so why are you buying whole thing? You can buy just front glass, there are few videos to show how to replace it and I admit it's time consuming and little tricky, but if you really mess up, then get the whole digitizer. Also the glass itself is much less expensive and probably the same across all models. Just search youtube for instructions.

I could probably do the glass and case and attempt to replace those, but the glass is REALLY shattered and if I botch that then I've wasted $100. Not to mention they say without an autoclave you're chances of going bubble free are pretty slim and I'm willing to spend the $300 to get this back to its former beauty. I can't imagine why Canada's model would be so different.
Just be careful, Crapple lawyers will go after you , 5S came out first with curved phone, so they have patent for that. LOL
Seriously now - ouch, if the frame is bent the whole screen will not fit either, me think. If it was my phone I would take it apart and very carefully try to see if I could make it straight again. I would still insist all you need is front glass, if it doesn't work you'll be out $20-$30, not $300. I have hard time to imagine the screen assembly is bended, but not frame. If frame is bent new screen won't fit. Of course without seeing it, I'm speculating and I could be completely wrong. Hope you get it sorted.
I might post a pic later, the battery is bent as well...all kinds of messed up
but still works!
Found a place locally that can get parts. Shout out to the best computer store in Calgary www.memoryexpress.com
I have to confirm the parts still, but the price came out to what I expected to pay eTrade and no shipping.
I don't think our Canadian model is any different. If you take it apart it says at&t right on the board.

This is what I thought, but I don't want to spend $300 to find out they were right.
I bought Ringke Fusion clear case from Amazon and whenever i try to use flash it turns all white. So i have to cut it to make flash work. I have added sample pics.
Thanks for the feedback man!
Have you contacted the seller?
I thought I was the only one I have the same problem

I have this case on the way, very disappointing. Did someone contact Rearth about it?
I've had that issue with every clear case I've owned across multiple devices. It's never as bad as your shots though, I usually get a glow in the left corner of my pics.
Just get the i-Blason clear case instead. I'm really liking this case. Has a big cutout for camera and flash and other openings. Flash pics come out fine. I'm going to post some pictures of mine sometime today in the accessories thread area.

I had one on my G3 like this and i never had any problem. I guess its about cut on back.
There is an Orzly one that has the open cutout style on Amazon. I got that one.
Why didn't you just return it as defective instead of cutting it like that on your beautiful G4?

Its compatible for leather back and its nice over all. Returning it will give few more hussle. I just cut little bit and it worked fine.
Hmm I have this case and I do notice that it glares just a tad bit around the case, but it's not too horrible.

Thats surprising !
A roamer, but made an account before more people decided to cut their case.
Theres a really simple fix to this... the issue here is that because the case is clear, the light bleed through the case and affect the camera when taking pictures. To fix this all you need is a sharpie or any black marker... just Ink up the insides. The black ink will prevent the light from bleeding through the case, and withe the phone behind it, you'd barely notice the ink.
i mean, having a dark ring around your LED is better than cutting it right?, you can always in the other side to balance it out.
Grab a Spigen case. It fits and feels fantastic. No problems with the camera.
Ringke does have a 1 year warranty. It might only be the clear one that is reflecting back. I am sure they will swap out for another color, correct the mold and send you a Revision for free, or give you your money back.

This. There was a buyer comment on amazon that explained this process also. I can't see the marker after its installed on my black leather.

Yep, I had the same case on my G3, and it had the same issue. Sucks to see they didn't learn from their last mistake.
I've just checked this and yes I've got the same problem with flash. I've got the leather back. All in all I'm not impressed with the case since day 1 anyway, always looked cheap to me.
I have the clear case with a plastic back and do not have this issue. Not even in pitch black with the flash on.
