Make sure you get a screen protector for the back. It makes the phone much less slippery. You can actually hold the phone on an angle with just your fingers on the back and not even holding the sides of the phone.

Sucks you broke the screen. You didn't want to try to replace the screen first?

My Nexus 4 is working just fine! just that the power button is a bit not sensible to me when i try to wake it.. does anyone else having the power button problem too?
[Nexus 4 General] ole12:
yea, i might want to try a screen protector on the back.

If the screen was still working, I could order a replacement screen, but it was total broken, so I could not wait 2 weeks to get screen replacement.

Btw, I looked at the HTC One and S4 before i bought another N4, neither looked appealing too me.
[Nexus 4 General] VOLTAGEROCK:
You know that S4 is definitely a great phone but buying it out right is just crazy, even when it does come to Google! We have the best phone out there by far for the money. Only thing that bothers me just a little bit at this point is the 16 GB storage.

[Nexus 4 General] tiru.adi13:
Yeah. Considering I'm stuck with this phone for another 2-3 years, I'm worried whether 16gb will suffice.

Games are what are killing my storage space. 2-3 HD games and my internal storage has gone down to 2.5 gigs.

Lack of USB otg is my only gripe. Finding a relatively portable self-powered hard disk hasn't been easy....

Mine is still holding up fine. I got it in early February. No scratches, no dents, no failing ports, no failing buttons, no problems--other than lack of T-Mobile coverage in some places I find myself.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishek.se:
never put any cases or screen protectors. have minuscule scratches on the back surface visible at some angle only. other then that, it looks brand new. great phone. currently rocking Purity rom. smoothest and fastest rom i've ever seen

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:52 AM ----------

My ROM allows me to customize the swipe from below the navigation bar which I have set to lock my device instead of opening google now. Similarly my kernel has the swipe2wake functionality so not much of the power button for me.

Running purity rom and purified kernel

Mine was doing great until it fell out of my pocket into concrete. Didn't have a screen protector on it so the screen broke.

Great!!!

Dropped it twice... Well, dropped it once, and threw it against the wall once Lol.. Took my anger out on it. Not the phones fault at all.

I have a poetic bumper case, a spigen uc sp, and dbrand carbon fiber back cover.

No scratches at all. Awesome phone
[Nexus 4 General] HeavenDriv7:
Few scratch at aluminium body because a soft case.:(
[Nexus 4 General] Eldmor:
Just like brand new. I have used front & back screen protectors with my TPU case. Dropped the phone once, no damage.
[Nexus 4 General] baolongn:
Creaking. Creaking everywhere..
[Nexus 4 General] eatabagel:
Haven't used any screen protectors or cases. (I did the first week I owned it in December, but since then I've kept it naked). I'm pretty careful with the phone, but not over-careful. I found it to be physically robust.

Today, I discovered a hairline crack on the back glass, diagonal upper right to lower left. As far as I know, I didn't drop it, but maybe I put it down wrong somewhere. Or it could have been one of those random temperature related cracks. Oh well. If it bothers me enough, I may sell it,and then maybe get in on T-Mo's JUMP to grab an HTC One. But only the hairline crack bothers me substantially. Otherwise, I do have Premium Handset Protection. I may get a warranty replacement. Weighing my options.

Otherwise everything about it is awesome. Fast. Happy with the 3.5G and T-Mobile HSPE, as well as the camera quality. I may just keep it for the rest of the year if the back glass doesn't bother me.
[Nexus 4 General] erikwervo:
got mine last December, still liking it today.
[Nexus 4 General] Faith_G:
Got it in January, used a Poetic bumper and then got a factory bumper. No screen or back protection. Still perfect, but I'm careful with it.
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
My Nexus 4's top half of the back glass is full of tiny scratches. And when I say full i mean like 50+ scratches. Theyre all tiny scratches but I have no idea where theyre coming from. Im using a Nuoku case i figured that would help, but no.. Everytime i check i find more scratches :S. Im afraid the camera lens will be scratched.
[Nexus 4 General] TacticalDesire:
Aside from some light scratching due to me usually not using a case, everything is fine. Performance is still just like the day I got it. No complaints. Still stupid fast. Can't wait to see what the next nexus brings. It'll be hard for me to justify the upgrade though. Have had it since bit January.
[Nexus 4 General] Mubz_C:
Might be dust or sand in your case. Try wiping the back of your phone with a cloth put it on a clean surface (I mean clean no dust or anything) check your case an maybe give it a clean. If these scratches are when the case is on I think the camera will be OK as there is a cut out for it on the case it will always be raised.
[Nexus 4 General] Treggs:
Got mine in January (I was a couple of minutes too slow on initial release) and it's still like new. Like most here I'm a pretty heavy user so it has a lot of apps on it. Stock rom, rooted and is still running beautifully smooth. I am still yet to try a device I like better (that list includes a galaxy S4). Hardware is still in basically new condition. No scratches and all I have on it is a Spigen dual ultra clear. Very happy N4 owner and I really don't see what could be in an N5 that would make me upgrade. Plenty powerful enough and so long as Google don't go nuts with bloatware in 5.0 I don't see the need for a faster processor. I also have no need for a 1080p screen or a physically bigger phone. Pretty sure this thing is going to keep me happy for a while...
[Nexus 4 General] noobdeagle:
Gone through 5 RMA finally have one that I'm happy with. 2 had an earpiece that didn't work and then I had 3 that constantly had sleep of death issues even on all stock.

This one is so far so good my impression hadn't changed so the best android phone I just have terrible luck.

[Nexus 4 General] raksan:
Got since December. It survives a few drops already. One throw away from my son and one fall down by me, but it was protected by a case at that time. A few days ago, it was drop face down naked at 0.5 m (~1.6 feet) by son again. No scratch or anything. To conclude, it holds up fine.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
To people with scratches. I'm quite sure the main thing you should be worried about are sand particles. Go look at all the YouTube videos,jeez most of those tests use sharp knives and keys on gorilla glass and nothing happens.

I'm not as worried about the back of my phone as I am for the front of my phone cause I don't have to stare at it all day. .nice got one tiny scratch somewhere next to the camera bit that's it and for the front I'm using a screen protector. Not going through the same phase the the one x again where scratches popped out of freaking no where.
[Nexus 4 General] TobiS87:
I own my nexus since November and it is still in a pretty good condition. Some hairline scratches here and there but you can't even see those under normal conditions. I'm using the official bumper (can't cover that shiny back :D ) and it saved my ass a couple of times. Dropped the phone and it landed directly on the upper left edge. I'm sure that without the bumper my screen would have shattered but now I just have a small dent in the bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] BraydenJames:
I've noticed this too recently... Driving me nuts. Tempted to call Google. If I bought mine from T-Mobile, not the Play Store, do I have to deal with T-Mobile for issues? Or LG? Or what?
[Nexus 4 General] Lothaen:
Got my first scratch / crack today on the back

No drops. No bumper, case etc.

No idea. But it gets extremely hot in my car charging with GPS on in the 30+ degrees C heat... Hope that hadn't caused it.

It seems fine and loving it aside from that..

Hoping to get another year or so out of it and hope that the next few nexus devices are also of the same price/calibre
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
took it to the beach. Big mistake. :banghead:

Zero scratches to loads of scratches instantly.
[Nexus 4 General] Chuponjr:
Same. very deep gash along the top of my screen most likely caused by a single grain of sand :(
[Nexus 4 General] Sabbra:
nice!

TPU cases are cheap and very reliable
[Nexus 4 General] Nordendorf:
Got the phone when it came out.

I finally got a crack on the front screen. About an inch long starting from the lower left corner. The phone has never been dropped on a hard surface. Maybe once or twice on carpet.

This glass certainly isn't as tough as they would like you to believe.

Now I'm waiting for their next phone... this crack is really annoying.
[Nexus 4 General] jdlsantos:
Got my phone Dec. 31st and has gotten its fair share of drops and spills with scratches on both sides and the bezel but still working good as new. On sunday I went to a wedding and I believe with the NY heat a section of my screen aboout 2/5ths down the phone became completely unresponsive, but a quick call to Google on Monday got me a new replacement yesterday.

[Nexus 4 General] berdaone:
so how does the screen feel or look like for after 6 months using it? did it feel brand new or the olephobic coating is gone?

this question is for nexus 4 owners without screen protectors.. :) im planning not to use sp because of the feel of the glass
[Nexus 4 General] royalewihcheese:
Coating seems fine. I have a Diztronic TPU case, and gave up quickly on trying to use a screen protector, since every time I put it in my pocket, the edge of the case would peel up the edge of the protector. It's fine, though. No scratches, and my phone is subject to some pretty horrible conditions daily. I use the case to protect against side damage in drops; got a chip or two from those before I got the TPU case.
[Nexus 4 General] VOLTAGEROCK:
I'm such an idiot. I already posted here a while ago saying my phone was still in great condition. Last night I was doing what I usually do: typing, reading posts, looking at pics... Then I went to grab the phone and my right hand spazzed and flipped the phone from underneath and I watched it like slow motion spinning until it hit the concrete. It only dropped like 2 feet but the spinning action caused multiple scratches thankfully only on the chrome and plastic trim! Oh and of course it landed screen side down. I thought the screen was cracked for sure, but no! Not even a scratch on the screen. Aside from being an idiot, I am just mad that I ruined the brand new look.

[Nexus 4 General] Pandemic187:
I've had mine just inside 2 months and already here is a scratch on the glass below the screen. Using Ringke Slim, no screen protector. I had my T989 almost 2 years, during which time it only had tiny, very light scratches, not like the one on my N4. I havent dropped it or anything; I've only had it in my pocket. I'm hoping it's a fluke because most of the posts here make it sound pretty durable.
[Nexus 4 General] VOLTAGEROCK:
Just so you know, I use a Gizmoskin pleather type sleeve that I slide my phone in and out of. I don't like cases. Also using the sleeve, I don't have to worry about when I put the phone in my pocket with keys and other objects that would normally cause scratching possibilities.

Sent using my etch a sketch: Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Iczer:
Only had my white N4 for a few months and have a crack in the bottom right of my phone. It barely comes over the bezel though. I'm trying to deal with it. The only thing bad is sometimes it'll press down on the window button and i'll have to lock my phone and push on the screen a little to stop it.

Only reason it happened was I dropped it in my white bumper case and the grey band around it snapped so I took it off my phone(dumb move). I was driving and of course i put it in my lap and forgot when I got out of the car and it fell on the ground. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Pandemic187:
I've used those before. They are too cumbersome for me. Though I realize I can't see that scratch today...maybe it was just a smudge? :D
[Nexus 4 General] Zincoshine:
Well, I have enjoyed my phone greatly so far and it definetely is not as fragile as idiot reviewers on the verge would have you believe. The phone has fallen countless times and just has a few scratches on the back and 2 dents on the side. way better than the samsung galaxy S II my mother bought for herself.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
Same here. I haven't had a case or a screen protector on for months. The screen is holding up great and quite certainly this a durable phone. I've used at the beach with sand in my hands, pockets and dropped it a few couple times and the phone is still in great working condition. No scratches neither.
[Nexus 4 General] Riyanweb:
Crack screen across the top left hand of the screen. Need a rotating app just to use the phone but it still works. #pullingitoff

[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
After about 6 months the only "wear" I have is on the chrome edges and that's from removing and putting back on the bumper.. It's barely noticeable but every chance I get to use the phone "naked" I do.. When I go out I put the bumper on. I've never used a screen protector and there are no scratches on the back or front.. I love the way this phone feels in my hand naked.. But I have to protect it when I'm on the move hence a little edge wear..
[Nexus 4 General] VOLTAGEROCK:
I wonder who of us use wireless charging? I say this as I never use the charging port and wonder how everyone is doing with there's. I hate plugging in to charge because of the wear and tear on the port. Not sure if our phone has an easy replacement installation like the iPhone if it does eventually fail.

Sent using my etch a sketch: Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] jcmaddox1:
I've been using the port since I got the phone, and its still REALLY tight in the phone. Very well built. I would trust holding the phone over the edge of a skyscraper by the cable.
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Miner's holding out fine. In fact, my Nexus 4 looks exactly the same as the day I plucked it from the box and mercilessly tore off its protective plastic :) not quite 6 months yet, that'll be the start of next month. The only charging port I ever broke was one of the old style Motorola ones on my A1000 which desoldered itself from the main board...
[Nexus 4 General] DaSaint79:
Pretty strong. I want a wireless charger though.
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
My charging port is perfect.. I can plug it in, grab the usb cord and let the phone just swing back and forth supported by nothing but the port. I can even bounce it up and down a bit and it never pops loose.
[Nexus 4 General] pritect:
Mine works perfect, except for a cracked backside. Easy "fixed" with a dbrand skin
[Nexus 4 General] phon00b:
It started getting a little laggy a couple of weeks ago but I restored an old backup and it was good as new. Even smoother now with the latest OTA.

physically, it's still flawless. The extreme guards on the front and back have kept it completely scratch free and the bumper has been surprisingly effective at protecting it during the few tumbles it's taken, including a heart-stopping drop onto parking lot asphalt.

[Nexus 4 General] lbingham:
Mine is scratched to all hell. Considering bricking on purpose and trying to get a refurb. Its funny, I had a Vibrant, G2x, and Galaxy Blaze. Treated them with less care and never scratched any of them. Not sure what's up with this phone. Still love it though. I guess I'm not a perfectionist and don't feel the scratches are a big deal. Especially when the screen is on. Just want it nicer for resale soon.
[Nexus 4 General] SinisterSHO:
Got the phone in March. Put a protector on the back after I noticed a couple small scratches I could catch my fingernail on. Just a couple of weeks ago noticed a tiny chip on the chrome bezel just before it curves. Dunno when/how it happened but I don't notice it unless I'm looking for it.

My launch Nexus ended up having a charging issue where the AC adapter was showing as USB on the battery screen and charging incredibly slowly. RMA'd and received a 303k model at the end of April which is still in pristine condition. I have a protector on the front, left the stock protector on the back, and put the phone in a Ringke Slim. I plan to sell it as soon as the Nexus 5 is released.
[Nexus 4 General] TZAR@:
I like the way it performs. It's really snappy. But I have 2 or 3 random reboots a day. Gets frustrating sometimes especially if I'm in the middle of doing something. Or using the gps, yeah really sucks when you get a reboot and you're trying to drive and need those directions from the gps... Needs more on board memory too...

[Nexus 4 General] aleks_:
So far so good. Phone is in pristine condition as I have very thin military grade plastic protectors on the front and back with the black D3 case from T-Mobile. No scratches anywhere and if I upgrade I will wait on selling this device just in case.
