Hi guys, I have been kinda a silent follower of this post for some time, finally decided to post something I experienced. So I got a nexus 4 16gb when it came via PPObox. Till then I had used all my devices without any scratchguard or cover, my last device due to extreme rough use and no gorilla or hardened glass became a little scratchy, so decided i will fully protect my nexus, this is where i had an extremely bad experience.

I ordered a gadgetshieldz full body guard, along with a rs 250 case from ebay, my previous devices had come with scratchguards, somehow i found it hampered the real experience and i always ended up applying them badly so i decided i will ask a nearby shopkeeper to apply it for me, I had asked him to get nexus scratchguard and cover, but these indian a**hole shopkeepers didnt even know whats a nexus, so i told him i will order , and pay him for applying, I have shopped at that store very often , and had even gotten my friends tablets guard applied from him.

So I went to him with the guard, upon seein the guard he was like sceptical, how thin it is and all, it shud be thick, i was like wtf, what an ass, and he purposely completely messed up the application , and said the guard itself is of bad quality, and he had the nerve to offer me his own guard, he was going to cut and fit some different phone guard. one of the reasons i always shop online, these a**hole keepers.

Anyways i was so pissed i started using it as it is, have been using it since, and I dont think a guard is really necessary, I would even like to get rid of the case, but the glass back is the reason i keep it, I tried my friend's nexus with gadgetshieldz, and i find mine to be considerably more responsive.

Here I see people spending so much money on things like bumpers and stuff, is it really necessary? the same accessories are much cheaper on ebay.com than ,in.

PS - I am using soundmagic es-18 with my nexus and they sound really good.

Is this the bumper available on flipkart?

[Nexus 4 General] king231:
Yes it is
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Yes

---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:31 PM ----------

I dont think its an issue, after applying the case it will be fine. Right ??

Just checked mine and I think rubber is not glued with the metal at all it has been fixed.

On my case rubber is fine from top but a bit loose from bottom, I advise you not to remove case frequently that will make that rubber go loose.
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
I don't know mine looks like a defective one. Don't expect this problem with every case
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Damn man you are fast just edited my post.

Is this the bumper case you guys are talking about?

http://www.flipkart.com/lg-cch-190-...ack)&ref=f2060d28-1bbd-462c-8da6-59ac46ad7005

I almost ordered ringke fusion but not it seems i m going with official bumper. Should I order it? How is it? Will it provide protection of rear glass from breaking? If you say yes I will order it right now. So please give me a geniune advice. Ringke fusion or This bumper ? Are volume buttons and power button accessible in this bumper?

Also one more thing, it has been 15 days i m using my n4 but didnt remove front cover, it protects the screen, but after i apply this, i will remove that cover, cannot keep it forever. So i want to ask is there any need of screen protector? If yes then recommend me a cheap and good one.

Thank you :)
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
Yup so you say it's a problem with every bumper
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Thats depend upon you, since april I was using my nexus without any case and got few scratches on beezel, now I saw original bumper on flipkart so I bought it.

About gadgetshield I dont like it at all.
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
Oh..well for the price that's seriously disappointing :|

[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
I don't see it as a problem, after applying its doing its job.

Fitting is perfect on my nexus, I cant count it as an issue.

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:05 PM ----------

Bro all these things have been discussed already.

Bumper advantage is acc to me:

1. Add less weight.

2. Better looks than ringke.

3. Great volume and power buttons.

4. Less costly than ringke.

5. No need to clean it everyday.

Ringke advantage is that it protects the back even if the surface is not flat, bumper cant protect if your device is going to fall on an edge of any rock or something.

Now you have an idea, you can go ahead acc to your decision.
[Nexus 4 General] vishal007:
I am sorry i didnt searched before asking :( wont' do that again.

One last thing, what about screen protector? Should I remove stock cover on front screen? Should I buy a new screen protector or leave it without it or leave it with stock one? You guys have more experience so please tell me which is the better choice for me?

Btw i took decision to buy a original bumper case :)
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
go for gadgetshieldz its the best go for case optimized version.

http://www.gadgetshieldz.in/google-lg-nexus-4-e960-screen-protector.html
[Nexus 4 General] vishal007:
Ok then, according to you guys, i have ordered both case optimised gadgetshieldz and LG bumper. My final cost was 1498 (i cannot expect 2 rs. return) so it is rs1500. ;)

Btw thank you guys for giving your valuable time to reply my useless questions :)

Hahahaha... I was just reading last two pages and can't stop laughing.... Don't waste so much money on screen guards guys i am still using stock screen guard and it's superb... A TPU case from ebay worth rs 208... And that's it.

I always use my device like a baby and make sure it will not fall... Just take care of your phone and enjoy the beast. :)

[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
does it feel squishy on the sides on the back? (as in not being an absolutely tight fit?)
[Nexus 4 General] RohanM:
Nothing.... Just to change the topic :D
[Nexus 4 General] adarsh93:
no, it's designed to fit perfectly and it does a pretty good job:good:
[Nexus 4 General] spacebar2011:
I somewhat agree. In my 3 years of using modern smartphones, I've never, not once, used a screenguard. I don't abuse my phones or gadgets and make sure I'm not reckless. That's all. Not a single scratch ever on any of my phones from the Desire to the N4 now. Screenguards are unnecessary but yeah, please continue buying them if you're terribly clumsy or just want to support a cottage industry..:silly:

Cases otoh, are necessary, esp with delicate phones like the N4. The glass back and curved front means there's a very high chance it'll shatter if you ever drop it accidentally. And that WILL happen at least once, no matter how careful you are. I ordered a cheapo nCase from Flipkart that looks like a Ringke Fusion but has a smoked back instead of the clear one. Its not bad and fits well, but makes the phone look fat and from 2009. :rolleyes: Anyone looking to buy that case, you can see how it looks in real:

[Nexus 4 General] uumeshh:
that branding on the rear of the case fks it up royally..
[Nexus 4 General] spacebar2011:
It does.. and I hate the look of that smoked back too. Covers up the classy back of the N4 and makes it look like generic plastic.

Hello everyone,

So today I'll be ordering my gadgetshieldz max protection with case optimization and a ringke fusion case!

But will not apply back screenguard because of the issue that everyone is facing!

-So am i making the right decision?

-And will ringke fusion scratch my back of the nexus 4 ?

Answers awaited!Please advice asap! :thumbup:

I am not facing any issues til yet...i had applied screen guard [MENTION=518462]back[/MENTION] portion.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
Nope...it won't scratch the back...a very thin layer of free space is always present between the back and the case...and yes, don't apply the back screen guard...
[Nexus 4 General] simratcs:
I mean that ringke fusion peels off the back screenguard?
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
order only front not back if u r using ringke because no use of back with ringke instead it will look ugly.

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

it doesnt peel off it gives wet patch let me show you.

what are issues if we have screenguard on the back portion ?
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
Exactly what u see in the pictures above...the peeling off won't be an issue if u order the case optimised version...but the wet patch thing is really ugly...

The best sounding speakers on any laptop ever. Period. The HP Envy Beats Edition comes close but not as good. And the XPS is tuned by Waves, my fav studio plugin company! :) Damn shame Dell dropped these 20W speakers and went with 4W ones on the newer XPS models just to make the laptop slimmer..

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

Wait... the Ringke Fusion does that on its own or is it due to a back protector film in between? My cheapo nCase doesn't do that as there's a thin gap between the back glass and the case.

---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

Pie all the way. Its just such a no-brainer that Google should make it the default navigation method in KLP! PA gives you total control with Pie and Halo (although Halo is nowhere close to replacing the notification pulldown yet). I use Pie along with the standard notification shade. Works like a charm! :good:

This can be due to 2 things.

1) Faulty charger

2) Faulty grounding of your house.

Try using your charger at a friends place. If it works fine it's the grounding of your house, if not it's the charger.

Capacitive touchscreens are very sensitive.to current.

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

I have the same problem at HTC one v after the update HTC given my that problem was solved. And it never came back.

So u saying that isn't the stock android problem ????
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
What doin mean by normal back cover...?
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
no bro normal screen protector ....i want to buy nice case any suggestion's plz ?
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
Oh...the wet bubble at the back was for the ringke fusion case...no wonder u don't have the problem...coz ur not using one at all...

Anyways, I'm using the ringke fusion...il list the pros and con's...

Pros -

1. Very good protection...dropped from 3-4 ft height...survived...

2. The buttons are very very easily accessible...I dare say, more easier than without the case too...

3. Transparent back which is pretty clear...

4. The back of the phone doesn't touch the back of the case...so no issue of dust trapped inside rubbing against the glass back...

Con's -

1. The back of the case, though transparent, gets easily scratched and by 6-8 mths, it might get very noticeable...

2. U can't use a back screen protector coz of the said wet bubble problem...even with case optimised version of gadgetshieldz...

I haven't see a bumper yet but I can state the obvious...the back is not protected if the phone falls on uneven surfaces like stones,etc...otherwise it provides good protection...it also goes well with a case optimised back screen guard...
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
can i get the link so that i can order it online :)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Maybe with the update HTC increased error threshold of their touchscreen which cured the symptom. The problem might still be there.

On safe size get grounding of your house checked from an electrician. Ask him to use multimeter to check it. Ground should be about 2 volts above neutral in ideal scenario. Bad earthing is not good for sensitive digital equipment including computers and laptop.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
If u want the bumper case, I'm afraid I haven't used it...so I cant advise u on that...

This is where I got my ringke fusion...

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

That's nothing bro. No problem with earthing since stock charger dont have any earthing pin. This problem always occurs on any touch screen phone if you use any different charger than required. Like if you use any chinese charger, it will through different frequency of current and different amount of current than required by the device, in return, the screen will start touching itself due to excessive or low amount of current. This may occur even with stock charger if you drop you charger, its transistor or any other part may get damaged and it also starts giving wrong amount of current.

Leave this technical sh!t, the thing is, always use stock charger of a smartphone whatever the cost is, cuz any other charger will not be supported, even if by chance it does, phone's battery life will be decreased. You can test this, just take any other original LG N4 charger and your problem will be solved.

this is the normal cover found it in 60 rs :P

So i thought its a great deal. Bought it :P
