Amazon have a great selection of cases. I got the SLine case which has some nice grippy bits on either side, well placed cutouts for the camera and speaker, and comes in a range of colours. Doesn't add to much bulk either.

I've got an HTC One and looked around for a case to protect it when being stuffed in my pocket. In the end I got one made by a company called Stilgut. They do one for the Nexus 4, for about £30.

Looks very similar in design to the one I've got. Mine fits very snugly round the phone and seems to do a pretty decent job of protecting the phone. And even after four months of not being treated especially carefully both case and phone still look good.

Another recommendation for the S Line cases. Available from various sellers on Ebay for around £2, with a free screen protector.

I tried a few cases for my Nexus 4 and they were all either cheap-looking or interfered with the ergonomics of the handset.

Then I found this:

It's a slip case that adds very little to the bulk of the phone when cased and means you can use the phone naked, as nature intended.

The only thing I don't like about it is the belt loop on the back; no-one wears a mobile on their belt anymore. Fortunately, it's very slim and not intrusive so I can live with it.

S line case all the way. Absolutely no need to spend more than £2 for a Nexus 4 case, as the S Line confirms.

PS Never understood the love for slip cases; surely a case is to protect it mostly should you drop it and surely the time that mostly happens is when it is 'naked'?

The Mercury Square One Slim Fit was the best case i had on my Nexus 4 but they seem to be getting harder to get now the N4 is deceased.

The S Line i had wasn't a particularly good fit, it did a job but it was a bit baggy.

I too adore mine which it is why i got myself a screen protector! ZAGG, Stealth Lite, Rhino and 3M screen protectors are awesome. If you can't get your hands on one, get a GEARMAXX screen protector. They sell on ebay for cheap and are as high quality and durable!

Head Case Designs do some pretty cool covers on eBay and Amazon and they aren't too expensive around £5 (just search for head case nexus 4).

I also have a RINGKE FUSION case for my Nexus 4 - that you can also get on Amazon. If you want something a bit plainer.

Fair point. I use a case mostly to prevent damage whilst the handset's in a pocket or bag. It's also a handy non-slip surface to put the phone on when I'm sitting at a table as the N4 can be a slippery bugger on some surfaces.

I agree. As I have the same case for my Nexus 4 and it has been very good.
