Needing a good, sturdy case for this phone. I keep searching Amazon and can't make up my mind!

I'm using the Ringke Slim case. It's a nice, thin hard case but still provides a lot of protection. Doesn't interfere with edge swiping or any ports or sensors. It's available on Amazon or Rearth's website for $10. I think it comes in black, white, or navy blue.
 
I used the search bar for "Nexus 4 case" and it gave me nothing so I posted.

I think mr_nobody was recommending you either look around on the accessories subforum or post your thread there.
 
I originally bought a Diztronic. It makes the N4 look cheap. My Google bumper case is the Ferrari of cases for the N4. Buy one and you will see why.

I do not know the best case for the Nexus 4, but I know the best $15 case for the Nexus 4. The acase superleggera pro case on Amazon for $15! I did not expect much and was pretty amazed when I received it. It works and feels great and protects the phone well. If you are looking to protect the glass back and not end up on Phil's cracked back glass thread, this case is worth a look!

(edited) Very happy here with Poetic's Palette slim case and folio case. The Palette is minimalist, comes off easily for swapping (but otherwise fits like a glove), sits on the wireless charger well. The folio gives nice front/back protection, nice materials, superb fit. Think I posted a pic on G+, lemme see....

Prices on Amazon are a steal. I have a Diztronic for my Amaze, no comparison. I'd get Ballistic if I was going to throw my phone around.

[QRs removed] Ouch, sorry folks. Didn't realize Barcode Scanner was making such ginormous images on my tablet. Will have to size down in future. :-[

Shouldn't this thread be in the Accessories section? :confused:

I just ordered the Diztronic matte black, I think they look quite nice. The price is excellent and I like TPU for grip and potential drops. My other choice was going to be the Incipio but I've always regarded their cases as very minimal on the protection side. The top and bottom of many of their cases are exposed. Everything else I looked at was either too bulky for my taste or I just didn't like the looks.
 
i'm also using the Ringke Slim and like it. That was my first case, then was using a Cruzrlite Smoked TPU case which i think would protect more over the Ringke... but I think the clear plastic around the camera hole was messing with lighting/pic quality when using camera so went back to Ringke and pics been much better and I like the thinner profile. I did drop the phone getting out of my SUV onto the asphalt street and surprisingly not a scratch/crack on the phone so it does help a little.

I like the Ballistic SG. My only complaint is that the edge of the rubber catches the edge of my Skinomi screen protector in one spot and has lifted about a quarter inch bubble. But I've had that same problem with other cases. Kind of just the nature of the beast. But I dropped my phone once from stomach height onto short pile carpet over concrete and it landed right on a corner and didn't break. Definitely lends some peace of mind.
 
Topic is "best case." Posting what you haven't even tried yet is silly. C'mon folks, quit posting just so you can post.
 
I got the Exact Armor case which look exactly like the Iconic Guardian. My complaint is that it peels my screen protector at the top and bottom because the silicone case is loose.
 
I use the Ringke Hybrid Fusion. I had to cut the buttons to get feedback.

I wish someone would make a hard snap-on case with fun stuff on the back.... kind of like all the those iPhone cases you see.

I've been thinking of cutting mine as well. Is it worth it?
