Got mine yesterday. Fit is great, but I like the material used in the Ringke case on my galaxy nexus more. The soft touch plastic was more grippy and felt like the material used on the Nexus 4.

I'm overall happy with the case though and will be keeping it.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] noodles2224:
clockcycle - I bought mines from dx-box.com from Hong Kong and they sent the wrong one. They also said they'll be sending the right one at no charge. I had to show proof with pictures and order # written on a paper next to the case in the picture. Just don't know when they'll send it. I just bought the matted one from txgadget on eBay. From Texas, where everyone seems to be ordering from here.. :) should be arriving soon. So whenever hong Kong ships out my right one, I'll have 2 matted textured one and 1 glossy.

So, after using this case for a week it seems to be holding up pretty well. Doesn't look like it is picking up any dirt/scuffs/scratches yet, so maybe that's only the white cases. I haven't had any issues holding on to it like I thought I would either, the sides are still slippery but as long as you have a decent grip on the phone it won't go anywhere. I have accidentally yanked it off of my desk via the USB cable a couple of times and the phone was just fine with the case on. Granted, it did land on carpet, but since some people have managed to break their phones by looking at it the wrong way I figured I'd point it out.

I did pull off the case to check the back of the phone and it looks like the case is deforming my rear skin protector, especially around the edges. I'm not sure whether it's just the pressure from the case against the back of the phone or any excess heat getting trapped by the case, but it is very noticeable. If you use the case for a while and then decide to go naked, you should probably replace your back protector.

Got the matte black one an trust me on this. It feels really premium. Really good in the hand and snug fit 4.5/5

Received mine from them very promptly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BizzaBoy:
I got the white one here, and it isn't picking up dirt, dust ...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hidden92:
Ok, after using it for a while I can say it's good, but I realised that I still don't like cases (I barely used one the last few years). I love the feel of the nexus and won't use a case anymore. That's not the cases fault, I just don't like cases that much.

(If any German person here wants a white one, I will sell it to you)

The only "case" I really liked was a leather one for my iPod Touch like you often see them for tablets. (with a flap lid)

(I bought one for my Nexus 7 and like it atm (now only the Nexus 7 has to arrive so I can put it inside :D)

Just arrived mine....ordered on 4th Dec from wakaplaza....took 17 days...but my N4 arrived yesterday so no complain.

Its best case I have ever used till date..premium quality....fit perfect. Its hard matte but when u hold in our hand it actually feel very soft but not slippery.

For my future phones if nillkin will be available then it would be my first choice for sure.

Guys anyone got the leather nillikin case?

This one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nillkin-F...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3ccd4aa698

Any review?

BTW I know isnt real leather, is chinese "leather"
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ChrisJ:
Yes, I have. Just arrived this morning. Liking it a lot so far. Only minor complaint is the on/off button is a little hard to get to using your forefinger. Using your thumb is ok though.

Fit and finish seems good and it doesn't add too much bulk. I'll try and post a couple of pictures later.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
Guys, please tell me one thing about this case. If you put a phone with screen side down on the table does screen touches the table surface or case slightly sticks above the screen and protects it? I cannot see it on your pictures...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hidden92:
With the case on there is a really small gap between screen and table. But it is REALLY small. I could only see it by using a flashlight and seeing the light through the gap (Everything that is thicker than a hair will probably touch the screen)

[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
The Nillkin does NOT protect your screen from face down. That's part of why I don't recommend this case. It's still a well made case, but I much prefer the Rearthe Ringke Slim case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] NICEGYPT:
I ordered one last night and shipped today. From txgadgets on ebay. By the way I don't put my phone on the screen and never will. So I really don't care if the case protect the screen or not.

Without a case, it'll be pretty loose. Not recommended at all. The extra thickness of cases, especially tpu ones would make the fit more "acceptable"

Just received my matted nillkin , I love it. Love the feel of it and all.. :) had to buy it from txgadget on eBay.

Same combo for me too. Ordered two hard textured back cases (black & red), as well as a black leather flip cover. Hope it works out. I have heard good things about Nillkin. They seem to have a good name out there.

I love the pouch.

I'm not using a cover on my Nexus 4 and it easily glides in and out.

I had a pouche for my Optimus 4X HD that was exactly as big as the phone and I hated it, this one that is a little bigger is a lot better for the Nexus 4 than a "fitting" one in my opinion. Of course you shouldn't hold it upside down or the Nexus will fall out ;)

Also it's only 3€ so even if you don't like it it's not a great loss.

EDIT:

Lol, why did you delete your question?

Got my black nillkin case last week. The case feels great with premium build quality. One thing that I am wary of is the slippy nature. Although the back is textured I still get nervous about dropping the phone. I have ordered a Meifeng case, will try that and compare.. will keep you guys posted..

No comparison between the two as far as feel goes. The meifeng is super grippy almost like a soft sandpaper.

Both are great fitting cases though.

Very easy to use but it's not free.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnbasarir:
If you are not rooted most of the recommended apps won't work. Nandroid backup is when you back up the NAND (flash disk - internal memory) of your phone.

If you wanna keep it as close to stock as possible I would recommend flashing a recovery like CWM (clockworkMOD recovery) or TWCR (Team Win Recovery - I guess), root the damn thing like you own it :D and install couple of apps like Titanium Backup or MyBackUp Pro or Rom Toolbox Pro and back your stuff up to external memory (external SDcard)

Or you can just flash a custom recovery, get a nandroid backup and dropt it to your computer.

Either way: ROOT IT bro! You definitely won't regret it!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razpr:
Currently a Tmobile user but i have to decide before friday because im switching to sprint and im pretty much between three phones right now:

SGS3, LGOptimusG, Iphone 5 (JUST because its different and ive been using android for a long time now)

Im pretty much looking for specs, batterylife and updates or at least solid devs :)

I know with the Optimus G im getting awesome specs and awesome battery life but its LG and its still on ICS despite being a damn new phone (WTF)... Not sure when will it even get 4.1 or 4.2... And it has no developers :(

Iphone 5 i get specs, a new OS and i guess i get to re-discover everything before i get bored with it again. Also its tiny (i like smaller phones)

Galasy S3 has updates, good specs (not as good as Optimus G) and im not sure about its battery life but one thing is for sure and that is its solid developer community and constant ROM updates!

>.< keep trolling and fanboyism out please! i greatly appreciate your opinions
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lolanerd:
My honest opinion is that the GS3 is hands down the best of the 3.

1. Specs are fantastic, you really won't notice the difference on a quad core.

2. It is still supported by Samsung and sprint.

3. Battery life is great

4. Dev support is the best I've seen save for maybe the gnex

5. It is a big phone. If you prefer small ones, that may be a problem but honestly I got used to it pretty quickly.

6. It's sexy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] quick99si:
It seems that you enjoy change and playing with new stuff, so I'd suggest getting the iPhone5, using it for as long as you need, and then moving on from there if you insist. The device will have good resale value at that time, so it will be like a free rental if or when you decide to get a GS3/GS4/Note2/LG/etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
IPhone 5 is not for tweakers

Considering jailbreak is virtually impossible ATM with nearly no chance of it happening any time soon (soon =now to may)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] socos25:
I had an Epic and recently got the GS3. I love it. With that said I also is an iPhone 4S for work. Apple's iPhone is boring. They all look the same, no customization, no fun rooting. Lame. They do work well, but boring.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kali323:
Just get the iphone 5. Once you get bored, sell it and get gsiii or something else. Iphone have really high resale value so at the end you will get to try both the iphone 5 and gsiii without wasting extra money. Maybe you will end up with more money lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] milky1112:
OP- It's going to come down to your preference... Iphones are limited on what you can do with them (Customziation wise) However, Androids are Open to possibilites.. The Optimus is slowly gaining Dev Support and is a fairly new device. Biggest turn off for that is the Non removable battery (Well difficult to remove) and no SD card slot for extra storage. Spec wise.. it's awesome..Personally, I went to the S3... I have all 3 Galaxy (Epics) in my house.. (all were mine at one point) and loved every bit of them.. OC the S3 and it's a beast in it's own! But just go check them out.. see which you can live with!

Hi all,

*

Throughout my <two months with the S3 I generally got 3.5-4 hours on screen time in an 8.5-9.5 hour window with frequent/heavy usage at <25% brightness before I hit <3% from full charge

*

My day always consists of upto 2hrs HSPA+ browsing+rest wifi, 1 hour of streaming episodes of BBT across home network, twitter, gmail, google+, flipboard, a few YT vids, 5 minutes of calling, trying new apps, bit of gaming etc.

*

I saw a noticeable battery life improvements when I did all of these 2 days ago, hopefully you'll gain:

*

SetCPU profiles. 200/1000 screen on, 200 off, 200/400 incall, 200/800 <20% battery - ondemand

Disable Now, Maps, Whatsapp and NetworkLocationService.

*

1-25% brightness

Limit running apps to Keyboard, GoogleMessaging (?) and SetCPU

ScreenFilter

Sync disabled, enabled manually for 30 secs every few hours (just gmail/contacts)

Removed heavy widgets (imo G+ and Flipboard)

Inverted browsing

Wifi sleep timer at 5 minutes

Use wifi whenever possible, however still browse on HSPA+ for 2 hours a day average

**

Aeroplane mode 70% of time (wifi exception)

2G when not aeroplane mode and not using data

*

*

Using AppQuarantine for a 1x1 widget (click to freeze app/service, click again to unfreeze+open)

**

which still drains my battery 1% every <5mins. How can I stop this guys?

*

[Q] Just wondering, what other tricks are there in bag that will help with battery life? Please share!

*

SCREENSHOTS

*

Day 1

*

Day 2

*

CPUSpy (Past 22hrs)

*

You shouldn't need to do all of that. All I've done is removed the Samsung Bloatware, and turned off syncing (I'm not an email kind of guy).

I remember I did some testing on Hyperlight rom (a stripped one) with Siyah 1.6.8. All I did that time is lowered CPU to 1200 or 1300, UV -100, 3G manager to cut off data when screen is off but allowed to turn it on every 30 mins for emails sync.

5% left, 2h 37m On Screen and 3d 9h on battery
[Galaxy S III General] zack037:
Well battery life and phone usage varies between people. Bad receiption always one of the main culprit. U dont have to turn ur device to nokia 1100 lol. Disable data when u have bad reception.

And check if ur carrier support fd or not. If u got it enabled and ur carrier doesnt support it then it will hog ur battery.

Doing/disabling too much thing just to get a couple more hours.. well not really bright...

Might as well just use nokia symbian rofl. Batery life prob solved.

Using a smart phone, u will want to get the best out of it, not to get it less than it should normally do.

Just my opinion though.
