[Nexus 4 Accessories] Shuton:
what screen protector are you guys using with this case? does the edges of the screen protector get "rubbed off" from the case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Did you guys try nfc to see if it works. I use Google wallet a lot.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrjoeltan:
Try Spigen Ultra Crystal's. I got these and they work like a charm with my case! The edges aren't pushed up from my case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tomhub389:
This case is ridonc-u-lous. Just got mine and I can honestly say that it's a true otterbox commuter equivalent. The silicone is a step above all the other eBay and Amazon alternatives. I own the diztronic TPU, Ionic guardian, and the Hybrid Hard case with kickstand and port covers. The aCase is the best by a margin.

My favorite aspect that is different from my other cases is how much the front lip covers and STAYS over the bezel of the phone. It comes "in" slightly further to keep dust and dirt out from where the curved glass stops as well as giving better drop protection. This does affect touch input near the edge of the screen.

My only gripe is that I miss the port covers on my generic hybrid case. I rarely used my headphones and always charge wirelessly. I would even buy a case with these ports completely sealed off if was an option.

NFC works. I use google wallet all the time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mbucks911:
this case is quality. the outside is hard shell but its soft touch so very good grippy but not so rubbery grippy that it gets stuck in a jeans pocket. it does not really slide when placed on surfaces. what makes this case better than other dual layer cases is that on this the hard part wraps around the top too, so the silicon is not all loose over the top like with the other dual layer cases. all in all really good case good enough to use instead of my diztronic
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
I bought the red one. Here are some pics to those who are curious. Already paid for itself the same day that it arrived. Was walking down in the village yesterday and dropped the phone while crossing the street. Not even a scratch. Had it been naked like a few hours before it would have been screwed.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] opticaldh:
Wow, This color is awsome to me. i always love the combination of black and red (or pink). :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Let me know if you have any questions?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Mohit12:
Can I buy this case in a physical

store?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
You should be able to. But you'll have a hard time finding it. Try looking if you can locally find it online
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
Just got a white one in and if you were looking for an otterbox alternative this is it, I'm actually happier with it than the last few otterboxes I've received.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hälftebyte:
Hey guys, i'm getting this case and trying to decide on color.. thinking about getting the blue or the white.

For those who got the white, do you find that it's gotten dirty/stained over time?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
I wouldn't go white, 2 days into use it has 2 blue stains (I'm assuming ink) and they aren't coming off, if I had to do it again I'd go with a darker color.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hälftebyte:
Thanks for that. I'll go blue then...tired of black. I did read a similar review on Amazon about the white getting stained in jeans pockets.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Liesse:
I bought this case thanks to the reviews here.

I bought the purple one, being my favourite colour. I think it looks great. The colour is nice and deep; paler on the inside part you'll never see when it's on. I like the way the contr4act with the black inner layer works with this colour.

The case does add some bulk, as has been said. I have quite small hands, and a one handed-hold with fingers, brace-in-palm-bottom-and-use-with-thumb grip is possible, but only just. I don't mind though -- I bought the case for protection, and doing that has to add some bulk if it's going to do it right.

I think the two layer protection works well. The bottom silicon-type material feels just like my friend's Otterbox case on her Blackberry: firm and thick.

I've read comments that the case is slippy. It's not a jelly case and it doesn't have grippy parts to it: so it's never going to satisfy some expectations. But the outer layer isn't slidey matte plastic; it is firm and ever-so-slightly grippy, almost latex-sh (but not too much, it's still smooth!)

The worst thing is getting it off. This thing holds your device securely. Don't expect to be taking it off a lot. I've had success with the lid off a ballpoint pen; prising the thin holder part by the head[hone jack under the hard layer and again at the other side near the other cutout to lift the purple layer slightly. Then I can prise it away. It is fiddly though. Again: I bought this case to keep my phone secure so I don't mind. I'd hate it more if the case came apart or fell off in the sort of impact I want it there for.

Having only owned my device for a couple of days, I've not had any falls or bumps. so I can't tell how well the case is doing for that. If FEELS secure and protected though!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] billy_overheat:
I've dropped my n4 from chest height with Acase on. Nope, nothing. so i assume everything is VERY ok. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] opticaldh:
If you want to remove it easily, you can hold the heaphone's hole, then pull the flaw nearby (on the left, over the volume control) down. It should get off smoothly. :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Liesse:
Cheers -- that works well. Push on the black part of the headphone socket, and prise of the hard part nearby. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] d4c:
So I just bought this case and as I have previously had an otterbox defender for the s3 the bulk is not an issue.

The outer case is rigid and tough and stays on the phone, you ain't getting this baby off without some muscle and technique. The case is smooth but so smooth it is almost like having another glass back. The front facing camera cut out really is not necessary and actually creates a non symmetrical edge and is quite of putting but I suppose I can get use to it. The rubber is a lint magnet, had it in my pocket for all of 10 seconds and it came out covered in fluff. It certainly will not be my daily case as imo they are too many flaws going on all at once. Will continue my search for an awesome case. However if your after a tough case that will protect that fragile back, this should be for you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bobsk8:
That is very handy , your measurements on the dimensions of the case, because I keep my phone in a holster. I wish the manufacturers of theses cases would always include those measurements in their specifications, especially for people that are ordering the cases online.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
i have one of these cases on the way, and hopefully, it'll arrive right along with my new n4. i also have the spigen ultra crystal dual sp's on the way.

does anyone have these sp's with this case? i'm wondering if the case will overlap the front protector and hide the ugly lines where the edge of the sp meets the curvature of the glass. if anyone uses these two products in conjunction and could clarify for me and/or post some pics, i'd be much obliged!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
I have them I'll show some pics soon
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
thanks! i really appreciate the speedy response!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Here you go
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
nice shots!

i was hoping for more overlap. looks like there's still a bit of a gap between the sp and the case all the way around. although it's not unbearable. the gap on the sides is hidden pretty well actually. i notice the top and bottom more in your pics.

i'd really hate to use a wet application sp. i've always had terrible luck with applying and orange peel and all that jazz.

i'll try the sgp for now and if it's too annoying i'll just go naked on the front i suppose.

thanks again for the pics!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Hopefully you'll like them. Aside from the cosmetic stuff you mentioned above I haven't had any functional problems with it. Let me know if you have any questions.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bobsk8:
Great Case

Got the Acase yesterday, and the one worry I had about the phone and case being much thicker that the Diztronics case I had, so it wouldn't fit into my holster, turned out to be a non-issue. The case is leaps and bounds better than the Diztronics in my opinion. Looks better, much better protection especially for drops, and the buttons work much easier than they did in the Distronics. I give it 5 stars. :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
just got some updated tracking info and my nexus 4 (along with case and screen protectors) is arriving today!

i'll post my thoughts on the superleggera as soon as i've had some time to put it to good use. will try to get some pics too if anyone is still interested in more pics beyond those already posted throughout the thread.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Bobsk8:
Oh, I forgot to mention, the screen protector am using with this case is the Ultra Crystal Dual by Spigen. Works well with the Acase.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
so i've had the case for a few days now. initial and on-going impressions are on par with other reports throughout this thread.

this case has a premium feel to it, and it does not come at a premium price. +1 to acase.

this case offers very good protection without adding much bulk. i was actually surprised at how little bulk it adds. +1 to acase.

the fit of the case is excellent. the soft tpu and outer hardshell conform to one another very nicely. +1 to acase.

the buttons are not cut-out, and yet they lose absolutely nothing in the way of "clicky-ness" with their soft tpu covering. +1 to acase.

overall, i only have one negative. the back of the case is completely flat. i tend to lay my phone down screen-side up. the flat back of the case muffles my speaker to the point where i've had to do some kernel audio tweaks to amp up the volume of my notifications/ringer. max volume within my rom (running the latest aospa) wasn't quite enough. considering all the positives, this is a very minor negative. not to mention, i have pretty crappy hearing anyway. :p

as an aside:

i'm using the sgp ultra crystal screen protector with the case. there's no interference with the case and the screen protector. the pics posted by warbuff precisely mimic my experiences with the two products i will say, though, i do NOT like the ultra crystal. i am accustomed to the ultraoleophobic (which i used on my thunderbolt) and by comparison, the ultra crystal holds wayyy too many fingerprints and smudges. i ordered the ultra crystal because i could get the dual for front/back for the same price as just a front oleophobic. i ended up ordering an oleophobic within a few hours of using the ultra crystal. i also slightly botched the install of my ultra crystal. i somehow got it cocked at an off-angle so there's a much bigger gap on the left side of my screen as the protector moves down the screen. it's bugging the living crap out of me! still, i'd take either of the sgp screen protectors over anything else on the market right now.

and one last thing, has anyone had any luck in getting rid of the acase logo on the back of the case? it looks like it might be possible to rub it off, but i'm concerned about leaving any marks behind when doing so. if anyone has a proven methodology, please post it! thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] funky_snowman:
Namurt,

Those oleophobic SGP protectors arent very oleophobic. I get just as many finger prints with them as I do my ultra crystal. They also scratch much easier than the ultra crystal protectors.

As for your misaligned protector, if it's on the front, just try to drag it into alignment using your fingers with it still installed on the screen. With a clean screen, just push down a bit and drag your fingers in the direction you want the protector to move. It may take a bit, but it will move slowly on the oleophobic glass.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
maybe it's just placebo on my end, but i've used the oleophobic before on my thunderbolt and i notice a difference now that i'm using the ultra crystal. i'm super-paranoid-android-extra-special-careful with my phones, so i'm not worried about the decrease in scratch protection. the oleophobic i ordered won't be here for several more days, so i'll have had the ultra crystal in use for roughly a week before i switch. i'll try to post back with a comparison after i've used the oleophobic for a week. i have an extra ultra crystal laying around, so i could always switch back.

edit: regarding sliding the existing protector, that sounds a little iffy to me. wouldn't i run the risk of scratching my actual screen if there's even one tiny particle that got under the protector during the application process? i did a pretty damn good job with the install, but i'm not confident that i kept out every last little bit of dust.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] funky_snowman:
If there is any dust, there will be a small bubble where the particle is. Just remove the particle with some tape.

Perfect first placement installs are nearly impossible in my experience. It's far easier to split up the tasks of dust removal and protector alignment rather than trying to do them simultaneously.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
i just wanted to post one last follow-up now that i've had the case for several weeks.

this case is nearly perfect, save for the glaring design flaw with regard to the back of the case. i just can't stand how much this case muffles the speaker!

i don't know why they made the back of the case so perfectly flat. all it would have taken are a few "nubs" in the corners to elevate the back of the case from the placement surface, and you'd be able to place your phone down screen-side up without having to worry about not being able to hear your ringtones. i have missed tons of calls and notifications because i can't hear my phone go off!

i've written an e-mail to acase regarding the issue. I'll report back if they respond.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] d4c:
My biggest gripe was the front facing camera cut out, it looked ridiculous and was very of putting. I also didn't like the white acase logo on the back of my black version. Other than that it was a good substitute for an otterbox.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] h0bnail:
I think the lint magnet inner layer is my biggest issue.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] d4c:
Yeah that was an issue for me as well. Looks like the cons are starting to outweigh the pros for this case. Honestly though I think the nexus 4 got a bum deal with cases and lost out because it's not a flagship device by a large company like Samsung or apple... But rather viewed as a device not worthy of some of the bigger case manufacturers.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
For me the only problem the case has is the lint magnet. Other than that it protects the phone perfectly and the rubber is not stretching so that's a plus
[Nexus 4 Accessories] namurt:
i got a reply back from acase. here's my e-mail to them and the reply. it's a rather... well, just read the reply and it'll speak for itself, heh. :p

me to them:

To Whom It May Concern,

I recently purchased your Nexus 4 Superleggera case. First off, I would like to say that it is a fantastic case overall! I am very pleased with the amount of protection it offers, whilst still managing to not add much bulk to the phone.

I am having one issue with the case, however, and it's a pretty glaring issue. Due to the design of the back of the case being perfectly flat, when the phone is placed screen-side up on a flat surface (a table, for example), the speaker is severely muffled. I have missed many phone calls and notifications due to not being able to hear my ringtones.

I would like to suggest that you revise the design of the case and re-release it to the market. I would gladly purchase such a revised case. Perhaps you could place four small "nubs" in the corners of the back of the case to elevate it ever so slightly off of flat surfaces when the phone is placed screen-side up. Even the smallest amount of separation from the case backing and the placement surface would negate the muffling effect which I am currently experiencing.

I do hope you consider my suggestion. This is an amazing case, but it's not perfect. Revising the design to fix this muffled speaker issue would make it the best case for the Nexus 4 on the market, hands down.

Regards,

Jason Truman

them to me:

Dear Acase customer,

Thanks for your interesting, I really appreciate for your feedback.

As you mentioned the details in Nexus 4 Superleggera case, we will think about that and improve it much more better in the future.

Just let me know if you have any other idea.

I look forward to hearing from you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Sounds positive but clearly not an English speaker.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] articuno:
I also just got this case and it is an improvement over the last one. It feels like I can drop the phone and it wont break.

I was wondering how the Original Poster erased the Acase logo from the back of the case. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
You can rub with use. But the easiest method is to use nail polish remover with acetone. It'll come right off.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] articuno:
thanks for the tip! Nail polish remover with acetone worked like a charm!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Warbuff:
Anytime I used that a long time ago for a psp case. Good thing I remember.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ms707:
Just got the Acase. Adds more protection than my fusion and looks better too.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Sportfreunde:
Have this problem in any racing game I play which involves tilting the screen to steer the car (I only play one game but I've tried others and had this same problem). The car/bike won't go in a straight line, it always tilts to one side even if I'm holding the device straight so I have to keep it going back and forth to steer properly. This doesn't happen on any other android device which I have used.

I think the way to solve this is to decrease the horizontal calibration sensitivity but I'm not sure how.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerg004:
Don't think this is a ROM issue, as I've posted there and have had no reseponse.

When using the S-pen in handwriting mode for a text message, it no Ionger automatically inputs a space. No matter how much room I leave between words or how much time before writing the next word I have to physically tap the space key to insert a space.

It's quite frustrating because this wasn't always the case. Has anyone else noticed this? I have looked through all S-pen and Samsung keyboard settings but haven't seen any thing indicating a specific setting. TIA
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TonikJDK:
I have never gotten consistent spaces. Hardly ever get a space at all in fact. I just tap the space bar with the pen now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerg004:
Really? I don't get it. On Jedi r1 I could write entire sentences fluidly and quickly just by spacing out my words. Now on Jedi xv11 it's just not working. I've posted in that thread as well, nobody has responded. I enjoy the handwriting and (found) it very effcient. But now hitting the space bar after every word is getting old...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gerg004:
Im sorry. That jumbled mess of a massive paragraph is impossible to read...thought it's way pretty general to the Note 2 and certainly not the only question in the general forum. But thanks for letting me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kintwofan:
Little tip when the formating is needed up p like that but menu and select Web view.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] spoiler1041:
If you write 2 or more words at once (meaning on the screen at the same time) it will put spaces where it thinks they should go, if you write one word at a time you need to do a dash or hit space.

But that's a wild guess.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
Format of the card on the computer into fat32. The results we're pretty good on 1 part but pretty bad on another. I assume it could be a combination of the way it was formatted and the phone's hardware that is the View attachment 1766722bottleneck

In settings check "use longer testing" to get normal results without caching
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Sd card speeds are averages they will never be consistent, especially when testing in your phone as background apps could be using it while the test is running. To get the most accurate results its best to test them in a pc

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
That is understandable but seeing a huge rise in one benchmark and then a huge drop should not happen. They should be close.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Typically you see the big spikes while benching on the phone cuz something in the background starts reading or writing from the sd and takes priority over the benchmark app. If you test it in a pc it would be more consistent but still varying a bit. Theres just no real way to stop the phone from using the card to get an accurate test. Best way would be to do it on a cleanly installed rom with no 3rd party apps installed. It's just the way android works unfortunately if something needs to use the sd card it will automagically take priority over the benchmark and they will then be sharing the max r/w speeds. Say your max is 10mb/s and 2 apps are reading/writing those apps now each have a max of ~5mb/s, 3 apps running ~3mb/s and so on.

I like to break stuff! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] B-BoyRiceBowl:
How much are those 64GB anyways

besides that, I heard they have alot of problems with slow loading of the disk after boot or so? or just not loading at all

Thats just my say because i see alot of threads of that....

I want one because I have alot of music....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oscarthegrouch:
As long as you preformat it in fat32 before you put it in the phone, you should be okay. Haven't had any problems yet. Card scan at boot is faster than the previous card with the same data on it. I think I paid under 60 usd on amazon for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aman1127:
I got lucky and got my Ultra 64gb for like 35 from Bestbuy but they are normally pricey. I have never gotten the advertised 30mb read and write but it is way faster than a typical class 10
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You can get them on Amazon for about 60 bucks. I just bought a class 10 uhs sandisk for about 30. Comes with an adapter as well
