. Believe me, once I slapped that case on my N4 I let loose a sigh of relief. I had survived a week without a case without sustaining any cracks/scratches. I would really recommend this case for now, at least until some of the bigger case manufacturers come out with their own cases. Personally i'm longing for a Speck Candyshell for the Nexus 4 .
I was looking around on amazon since I was one of the lucky ones today. This will be only my second candy bar phone, as I've had a Pre, and a samsung slider before my current HTC Radar. Are the hard cases actually good at protecting? Or is gel a better way to go? I have found a few, but I'm not sure if they'd actually protect the phone from falls.

I had one of these for my radar, but i played with it constantly and stretched it out. it also covered the microphone hole on my phone which was super annoying since no one could hear me.
So does anyone know which kind is better at protecting? I'd rather not have a huge monolithic slab that i have to keep in my pants. I'm not prone to dropping, but accidents do happen so I'd like to have a little bit of precaution with it still looking good. Any help would be great
That's a good deal... but for some reason my gut tells me that a hard case might not be the best for the nexus 4. I feel like dust and sand could get sandwiched between the nexus 4 and the case, leaving the back scratched after long use. I guess I would pair the hard case with a protector for the back (ie. XtremeGuard, Zagg Invisible Shield). Also, hard cases don't give much in terms of shock protection, which is a category that the Nexus 4 desperately needs. I think a TPU case is the perfect solution (at least for me). But that case is good looking and should fare well in terms of external scratch protection (just don't drop your Nexus from too high up)Nillkin Hard Case + Screen Protector For Nexus 4

DECENT phone? You got arguably the best Android phone on the market right now. Haha just messing around with you. But I would recommend the iBlason SoftGel cases. They don't necessarily look amazing or even as cool as the Poetic folio cases, but for the time being it has been a great case for me.
