Slim, clear matte case

[valpd]

I currently have the diztronic smoke case. It's looks more like a light brown case with the Nexus name creeping through.

Can anyone recommend a clear case that is slim? I'm looking for a matte finish because I hate fingerprints.

This is the only one that I know of that is clear with a matt finish (well the back of it's matt) I have it in the smoke color and after trying cases from pretty much every company out there making them this has been my favorite so far

Been waiting for this one, looks like the perfect case for this phone.

Looks really nice!

<EDIT> Didn't realize there's a thread specifically discussing this case by name... http://forums.androidcentral.com/nexus-4-accessories/247680-rearth-hybrid-fusion-case.html

This is the best looking clear case I have seen for this phone yet. Too bad it is not available yet.

I have iBlason clear TPU case. It actually shows the back a little more than you see in this picture. The back is sort of a light, frosted look and the sides are completely clear.

I will get the Rearth, but doesn't it look bulky? Also the back is clear. Does that mean it will smudge easily? I am using the Diztronic frost matte case. The problem is that it looks too brown instead of black.

Bulky is a relative term. Compared to a naked N4? Sure. Compared to a bumper case? It's probably less so.

Only thing I'm thinking on the clear back is that it may show fingerprints/smudges a lot, and will definitely show scratches. I wonder if someone makes a case-screen protector....? ;-)

I agree. My Diztronic is a matte case. No fingerprints and you can see the Nexus logo

To me, it looks like what the bumper should have been (but then it wouldn't be a bumper, would it?). I just got the Diz TPU translucent gray. It's all right. I'll be interested in how much protection these Rearth Fusions seem to give. I loved my Rearth Metallic Slim on my Galaxy Nexus until the metal backing go a few nasty scratches. Didn't seem like a lot of protection, but the Galaxy Nexus isn't nearly as "fragile" as the N4 ---although a cracked screen GNex (my son's) is how I ended up with my N4 (he got my GNex which is what he wanted to have). I'd just bought two Diz TPU cases for it.:-\

FWIW, I have the Google bumper. It's beautiful and totally adds to the looks of the already-attractive N4 but impractical as far as protection goes IMO.
