Smart-Cover type case for Nexus 4

[avidberry]

Hi all,

I'm a new owner of Nexus 4 and long-time owner of BlackBerry (as my name may indicates, though I'm far from avid...lol). Anyway, as said in the thread's title, I'd like to know is there any case (preferably flip leather case) that behave like Apple's Smart Cover which automatically lock/wake the screen? I recall ones used in GS III and Note II also behave the same way. It's quite helpful to avoid constantly pushing the power button. Currently I'm using Nillkin Flip Leather Case which failed to do that. Thanks

Instead of buying a new cover, you can get an app that will activate the proximity sensor ro turn the screen on or off using your current case.

Try something like this: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...art.cover&feature=related_apps&token=gWBTpcPi..
or search for screen off/screen on apps in the play store.

Thanks for the info. I checked that kind of app and all of them have similar problem, it drains battery since the proximity sensor is turned on all the time. Any other idea?

I used those apps a lot when my SGS1 power button died. There are very few battery issues, if any.

I used this one: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...DEsImNvbS5udXRzLmF1dG9sb2NrIl0&token=TaD5z0Mq.
Free, can't hurt to try. I don't think the N4 has the magnets needed to build this feature into a case.
