My original Yotaphone 2 has got two cracks on the front screen, one on the back and the GPS is broken. The back screen is so matt and smooth that it makes the phone very slippy and it's had many corner bangs on the floor.
With the recent massive price drops, I ordered a new one and I also ordered both an aluminium snap-on protector and a silicon protector to see which works best. While the aluminium one is very nice looking and potentially offers good protection from a fall, its finish makes the phone even more slippy. The silicon one gives nice grip all the way around and is much more secure.
I highly recommend getting one of these cheap silicon protectors from eBay or wherever. While I'm at it, I also got a glare-free screen protector for the front-screen, which gives the front screen an equivalent matt finish to the rear one. It really gives it an edge in terms of feel of quality.
You can get a nice and cheap protector here:

I have a silicone case, but it does not fit very well and due to the "grippy" texture, it does not slide out of my pocket easily.
the aluminium case blocks GPS reception

Should I get the screen protector or bumper case? I don't want the glass to break.
I'm getting the bumper and a screen protector. Cases are too unwieldy for my taste

If the bumper case come with carbon fiber backing, pretty sure I will get one.
A bumper cas with some sort of backing might be interesting, but I don't see much of a point with bumpers that are just going around the edges.
If the bumper case isn't too bulky I will get it. I can't stand bulky cases like otterbox etc..
i'm planning to get those book-style case, so no need for screen protector.
Where's the vote option for both?
I plan on having a bumper case with a Best Skin ever full body skin... Hopefully it all fits :X

Elliot, are you getting rid of your Infuse too?
I will probably get both, but for sure a bumper case. If I feel the need for a screen protector, I have used ZAGG before and I like there screen protectors, just gives it sort of an orange peel look to it though.
Both maybe,Screen protector for sure.Have destroyed too many displays
The Thickest case available in the market, the back glass breaks easily, the verge review is a proof, the phone then looks too ugly, i have destroyed cells by dropping and would not like to take chances with this phone

Right now I have a slim case on my phone, while it does protect the back of the phone. It does not do much more then that, and the front screen is very exposed.
Right now I'm looking to buy this case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blue-RUGGED...454592?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416f6f8840
Does anyone have experience with this case? Or another rugged case?
I know the ionic guardian is a thing, but I don't like it.
I'd rather have this case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Nexus-4-...Black-Blue-Inverse-Y-Kick-Stand-/360550503756
Your phone will most likely fall on a corner, having silicone rubber in the corner instead of the polycarbonate should provide better protection. Now if only I could fine a seller that ships to canada.

I believe there is silicon under the hard plastic. I had something similar.It also has a kickstand. Better off going with the op case.

I got mines in the mail today. Pretty solid case, especially for the price. I previously had the Exact Armor/ionic guardian case, but I needed a belt clip combo, so this deal did the trick.
FYI, I ordered the blue rubber with black shell one. The blue is much darker compared to the listing pictures, almost seeming like it has a bit of violet in it.
In the picture it seems that the phone case has a kick stand. Is that so? I am talking about the case itself, and NOT the belt holster. Let me know.
I'm waiting for the Ballistic Shell Gel and the Trident Aegis as far as rugged cases go. Hopefully they come within a few weeks!

Yes, the case itself has a built-in kickstand. It reliably clicks into place when folding it in and folding it out. The blue in the photo is actually darker in person.

Quick questions:
neugenusis, if i understand the picture correctly, the holster protects the screen? does it slip in and out easy? i would use the holster to protect the screen instead of a pouch. does the clip remove (to keep it in my pocket)?
Thanks!
Background:
Right now I am using a $5 TPU cheap case with a leather pouch. The combo works really well. I don't like screen protectors and the pouch keeps the phone perfectly safe from scratches when I have it in my pocket.
I'm afraid the thin TPU won't be good protection against a hard drop so that is why I am interested in these tough cases.

Richieboy67, can you elaborate on why you think OP case is better? These two cases seem to be the exact inverse of each other. One has an exo-skeleton that clips into the silicon on the corners and the other has one that clips in on the sides. Silicon material is absent to make the notches so OP's case on the corners has less material and thus seems more vulnerable there than the one ackbarthegreat has suggested.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

My thoughts exactly. I figure if it is good enough for people designing otterbox, ballistic etc it is good enough for me.

The phone is suppose to face the holster, thus protecting the screen. The phone won't fit comfortably facing the other way. There's enough friction between the phone and holster that if I violently shake the holster, the phone still won't come loose even at the slightest. While phone and holster is on my belt, I grip the holster with 2 fingers and push the bottom of my phone upward with another finger till the phone gets halfway through the holster, then i pull the phone entirely out with my hand, so wouldn't consider its an instant simple slip in and slip out, but I don't consider it difficult either. It gives me a better sense of security. The clip does not appear to be removable from the holster unless, I suspect, some excessive force is applied.

The silicon piece covers the entire back and edges of the phone. The hard plastic shell goes over the silicon. The silicon is thinner where the hard plastic shell covers for an overall flush shape. The one ackbarthegreat suggested, the corners are full silicon. On mine, its half silicon, half hard plastic. Though ackbarthegreat suggestion's corners does seem slightly thinker, I wouldn't say there is significantly less material. It is similar to Seidio's Active case for the N4.
I'm just ordered a case like this one but in red! I'm using the exact Armor already. But I want a case that also protect the open ports from dust! This has a cover for the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the use port.

i got my step-father a ballistic case for his S2 and i just got the Exact Armor case from Amazon for my Nexus 4, the fit is just as good minus branding. and lets not begin with the price, i love ballistic's cases but it hard to argue a case that is virtually the same thing for -$20.00 in price. this case seems to be on par with a Kraken case... but oh well... i want to make a video review once i get this case
Has anybody found a DRY APPLY back protector yet? I know some of you are just gonna comment saying buy a skin protector. I'm currently using a xtremeguard for the back but want something new. I know there are some out there but it's way too expensive, the SGP or whatever. Like $15 for 2 front and 1 back?

Is there a reason you "want something new?"
Dry protectors usually do not have the same quality of wet apply protectors, but never have orange peel and are smoother. On the back, however, it is better to be grippy and xtremeguards don't have orange peel (it is a ZAGG thing).

Just buy the SGP. It's worth the money. SGP makes quality protectors. You get what you pay for with them. I had xtreme guard and skinomi on the back. Both are fine but the SGP is just WAY better. Don't have to worry about denting it like a wet protector and you don't have to wait for it to dry. Also it is much friendlier with ringke slim cases if you have one.
Has any body noticed the glass scratches way to easy. I have had my phone face down maybe a few times and I noticed some scratches.

TBH 1 use the cheap china ones on ebay. Have for a tablet and 2 phones.
Around a buck with free shipping.
I have honestly never had an Issue and they have done perfect work.
Hell, I got a TPU case for 1 dollar, free shipping too. I don't mind the sometimes 2 week shipping.
Just my 2¢

Protect your phone glass by having a good case and only placing your phone in its own compartment in either a pocket or your purse. Do not have any lose items such as keys, coins,or other metal objects in the same compartment as your phone and do not place your phone face down no matter what. Voila a screen with no scratches......and no need for a tempered glass screen protector...may as well buy a S5 active if you need this.

What kind of tempered protector? So far on amazon all tempered glass protectors failed for N4, due to sloped edges on screen.
I work in mobile sales and often put on screen protectors. I see lots of people come in with phones(iPhones,Andriods etc) only a few days old and they have light scratches on the screen. The scratches aren't noticeable when the display is on though. The fluorosilane coatings(oleophobic ) can raise the glass surface hardness to 9H, which is very hard. Pretty much no metals can scratch the cover glass but even a tiny sand grain on the desk that you don't see can easily do some damage on a display when it's played face down, sand and other similar grit is the real enemy when it comes to scratches since it's one of the few things hard enough to scratch the cover glass.

How clear is that glass? And how much of the actual screen is covered?
My spigen plastic covers just barely cover the black screen
I ripped off my Zagg's tempered glass SP from my previous Note 3 and placed it onto my Note 4. It's doing the job quite well!
Which is the best back cover for our one plus 5 ? Anybody from India , Please suggest.
Spigen Rugged Armor
Been covering my phone with it for almost 3 months. Good grip, no scratches, no drops etc... Fits well with fabric front foil or anti fingerprint screen protector.

I think because of the rubber sides it would feel more grippy compared to Ringke's sort of slippery material (I bought one for op3 last year). I had read all the reviews on Amazon and surely leaned towards Orzly only. What color do you have though?

I use the spiegen case
Spigen Neo Hybrid for ruggedness and Nillkin basic is a decent average in all areas.
