Is your phone protected?

[Alvin Tran]

Do you use a case, screen protector, holster, or anything to protect your phone? I need some ideas since I just got my N4 yesterday and I still have the front and back protective film on from manufacturer to protect it while I look for a case. How about you?
Note: I like things that are minimalistic and shows off the phone's beauty while still protecting it from damage. I'm looking into full body protectors right now but don't know which one to get.

I use a Siedio Active case and holster, but this one (no holster to my knowledge) lets the back of the phone be seen.

my s-line tpu case does the job. I'm still deciding whether or not to get a screen protector, I think I love the feel of glass too much lol

I use a generic eBay TPU S-curve case which covers the disco back because it's simply too slick to safely set down on angles or most surfaces. It was only $5 shipped (got it in three days) and fits fine and looks good. It's got rubber nubs (raised for her pleasure) on the sides to assure a firm grip. Front screen is naked. Just don't put in the same pocket as your keys, change, metal files, jacks, rocks or rabid animals and you should be fine.

I have a full body screen protector and no case. I am fairly careful with my phones but also have insurance in case something happens. actually no insurance on the nexus 4. just the note 2. nexus 4 too cheap and figured I rather save the money and buy it new if something does happen.

how did you use your phones before? if you are reckless then I would get some protection but if you babied it then you are probably ok running it naked. but I would recommend at least a screen protector.

Yes I have a screen protector on the front and back and a bumper.

I've been using Seidio Active cases since I had my HTC Sensation, so I made sure to have one for my Nexus 4 on day one. I really do love this case! As far as screen protectors go, no I don't use one. I've tried many over the past few years and they all feel like crap compared to naked glass. I can live with the small possibility of my screen getting scratched.

I used a S Line case for my Lumia 900 and it worked fine, but since the phone has nothing to show, I don't mind covering the back. The nexus 4 is different, I want to show off the back, so I want a way to still protect it, but can still see it. I am highly considering a bumper with front and back protector. Has anybody used a bumper and dropped it before? How did it handle?
Also, also I don't usually drop my phones, I do somehow manage to get stretches on all of my phones in the past so leaving the N4 base is not an option for me.

Naked like it was intended but may put bumper on just to see. I am very cautious and I just like the phone the way they are suppose to be. That's just me

I just use it without anything on. Cases make it too bulky and stop it sliding in and out pockets easily.
Screen protectors are a waste of time these days. The glass is stupidly hard and unless you do something especially stupid you're unlikely to scratch it. The protectors however are soft plastic and look horrible in hours. My old desire was bare for 2 years and didn't have a single scratch on it.

I use the official bumper for mine. I don't care too much for screen protectors so I don't use one. I prefer to use a minimalistic case or no case as I enjoy a more natural look and feel.

The front protector it shipped with lasted on my N4 for about 2 months. Then it got dislodged and I manually re-applied it although it was never stuck as well, especially since dust got under it.

Today it came off for good (I'm not even sure where I lost it) and it feel like a have a brand new phone.

I'm mostly against bumpers (they don't let me slip it into my back pocket as easily) but now I have to decide if I want a screen protector.

Does anyone use BestSkinsEver? Their products are really cheap and are pretty well-known. I want to know how good it is.

I also like to show off my phone. I'm using the full body protection from Xtreme Guard. Currently $10. But if you buy 2 you get %77 off so total is less than $5. Also shipping is free. Then I use the Spigen Crumena leather pouch that was designed for the Galaxy Nexus to carry it around in. It's slim, sleek, and looks great. It also allows me to show off my phone while using it and protect it when I'm not.

Hope that helps.
