Kickstand Case for Nexus 4

Hi!
I will use Nexus 4 for video chat and recording a video (sometimes). I am looking for a vertical kickstand case.
Vertical kickstand:

I used PureGear Hard Shell Case with Kickstand for my Gnex, and I loved it because I don't have to hold the phone for using video chat, and it just stands for recording a video (I do few silly stunts).
Why vertical? I use facetime/talk all time. It has to be vertical stand because horizontal stand will not work on facetime/talk because it would be too wierd for my friends turning their head to see me. lol
Is there a vertical kickstand case for Nexus 4?
Thank you so much!

Also looking for this or any know kickstand for the N4...

Seidio's kickstand case is in the works. Not sure when that will happen though. I can wait I always get the Active case/holster combo with my devices. Great for travel IMO.

I ordered this (ebayitem.com/350674511348) case on ebay. The photos appear to be of a real case and phone, rather than a mock-up. Once I receive it on 01/02, I'll post a brief review here.
(I actually ordered (ebayitem.com/160944505505) what appears to be an identical product at a slightly reduced price)
(Can't yet post direct links... sigh)

An update: I received the case, which is made of two parts (hard and soft). The softer part has a very strong vinyl smell which I am working to eliminate. The case fits well and is relatively light, though it adds plenty of bulk (and, I presume, protection commensurate with the extra material).
In other news, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 gave out and I'm in the process of receiving a replacement. When I receive it, I'll post the review!

vertical lines on the screen - galaxy s4 i9505 ?

i would say it's normal because that's just how the screen of S4 is. on my S4 also banding is visible especially on gray color. you might try to change phone for another one but think hard before doing it because you might get phone with screen that looks even worse.

Its not normal... I have this problem before with my previous galaxy and samsung replaced it for a new one..

I have that problem too, but didn't notice until about 3 months after purchase. Samsung doesn't replace with a new one, but a refurbished one, and who knows what problems a refurbished one will eventually happen. Anyone ever figure out if this was normal or not? Seems to be a lot of people with this issue if you do a simple Google search. It doesn't really bother me unless I'm on a gray screen.

I had the same problem on my Galaxy S5 too (horizontal lines)
goodbye Super AMOLED Display !!! :victory:
goodbye samsung !!! :victory:

[Q] Display problem

Hey guys,
I'm having a problem with the display on my G2. I spotted a grey spot on my display. It's not very big and can only be seen if your in a dark room and the display is black. Sounds really like a minor issue, but now that I know it's there, it just bugs me.
Any of you guys have an idea what this is, or having the same problem? (Just test it out)
I'm not sure if this is reason enough to get it replaced

You can't see it very well, because I just don't have a better way of taking a picture from it than my Nexus 7

I won't look on mine... because if it's something common I will have it for sure.. and I know myself it will bug me till the end ...
Anyway looks like glue residue or something in that matter, in case you do not have a screen protector.
If you can prove it to the store, get it replaced... This is a flagship device. Prestige one... Even minor appearance problems shouldn't be there.
Personally if I had it there and as you say, you can see it, get it replaced, and you never know if this i snot a beginning of something bigger? What if your screen falls off? (bit paranoid, but you know what to say in the store if they gonna give you hardtime )

Get it replaced! A $500 phone should not have that.

yeah, get it replaced if you want to. But i have a dead pixel on my G2, it bugged me for about a week, but ive forgotten its even there now haha

[Q] N4 rear flash ring?

Hi there!
i recently bought an N4 and i love it but i was wondering why my rear flash is like the way it is (see pictures). I bought it completely new, or supposedly new, on ebay for around $200... i actually couldnt believe the price haha
any comments as to how to replace it? due to the flash lens/ring it allowed dust in the rear camera which is so annoying.
thanks!

I dont know, but my flash looks completely different. You sure that is a nexus 4 and not some fake stuff?

haha yeah it works perfectly fine though
another thing i noticed was this... i dont know if it's normal either
there's vertical lines when the screen is off and noticeable when caught in the light at certain angles........
i'm starting to think this was a broken phone but refurbished after

the rear flash ring is normal but the bars on the screen is a new one, i have never seen that, its usually a clear screen and you can see the dots from the digitizer from different angles.
maybe the screen has been replaced?

Wow, I've never seen such vertical lines on my n4 before. That is really strange, mate.
Although there are horizontal lines/patterns on the screen. They are conduction medium for the touch screen, but no..never seen such vertical ones...

What are the little white dots on the edge of the Note 4?

I've noticed 8 white or translucent squares on the top and bottom on both the back and the front of the chamfered edge of the Note 4?
Does anybody know what these are, I'm very curious!

Hi,
They are gaps in the aluminium for the antenna to get a signal through.
I hope this answers your question
Sam

Thanks for that, I just realised now that we are not supposed to ask questions here in this forum.
I thought general meant 'anything' but clearly not.

Nope. Here's where the antennas are located. There's plenty of signal access through the front and back of the phone; and those puny dimples wouldn't really help. What you described is typically used on metal-backed phones (EG: iP6, HTC One M7) and are a lot bigger.
I'm wondering what they're for too. If I had to guess I'd say to allow for expansion/contraction from temperature or to allow some flex either for real-world bending or to facilitate production and assembly.

Ha. I didn't even notice till you pointed this out. I think it looks kinda neat myself.

Maybe it's something to do with the VR capabilities.. maybe?

Also if you look right up close on the black part of frame there are slightly raised bumps in line with the white dots, curious, aesthetics or something else?

It looks better than the back of iphone 6

that is to cover that the cut goes all through! some sort of sticker which is then also coated...
reason for these cuts could be either manufacturing or radio performance!

I'm also thinking it might simply be structural.
