For LG Nexus 4 Owners: Ballistic Case for $20.95 shipped (Best Protection; Retails for $35)

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I know thousands of Slickdeals members recently purchased the Google LG Nexus 4 phone, and many people are still hunting for a case. After hours of research, I have personally determined that the best protective case currently available is the Ballistic Shell Gel (OtterBox and Lifeproof have no plans to make cases for this phone).

This case comes in either black/black color or black/pink color. The official Ballistic website offers this case for $34.95 plus shipping (source [goballisticcase.com]), and the black/black ran out of stock within hours of being available.

Fortunately, TheCellGuru.com offers this case for just $18.96 (here [thecellguru.com]), and shipping prices start at $1.99, making the final price $20.95.

Seller Ratings
-TheCellGuru has a rating of 9.71 out of 10, based on 771 reviews, according to ResellerRatings.com (source [resellerratings.com]).
-TheCellGuru also has a rating of 99.2% based on 7860 buyers, according to eBay (source [ebay.com]).

Enjoy!
Tofu Vic

Glad I can help. Since December 2012, I've spent at least eight hours reading about different cases, looking through at least 200 reviews for dozens of different cases. I've personally determined that this one offers the best protection without being too bulky.

The pink looks decent - it's completely up to you how you feel about it; some of it may depend on your choice of clothing and fashion.

Having a heck of a time deciding if I want to get one of these or stick with the ringke slim case. The slim case doesn't offer much more than scratch protection (maybe some falls, but not all) but it looks so much nicer than the bombproof cases, and adds almost nothing to the size and weight. On the other hand, the cost of the squaretrade warranty no longer makes sense (used to be $35 AC and $50/claim, now even with the best coupons it's $80+ and $100/claim), so I'm in the cold if something happens to this glass-encased destruction magnet.

Decisions...

You just made it an even tougher choice by ordering that case. This Ringke case is pretty amazing; I don't like cases in general but this one actually adds a tiny bit of character, while adding less than half a mm... It's definitely the best cellphone case I've ever used. (OK, full disclosure is that I'm actually returning the one I got because it's got some flex near the volume rocker; in the reviews most people who had this issue got a replacement that fit better so my final judgement is reserved). I have friends that swear by their otterboxes, but I just can't help thinking that it ruins the user experience (buttons are harder to press; and ends up looking like the inside of your pockets after it starts collecting dust and lint...

It's decent protection, but it looks good and adds barely any weight/bulk to the phone.

I just received my Ringke slim as well. Kind of hard to justify putting such a nice looking device in an Abrams tank of a case.

I managed to only drop my One S once, I'll try and keep it up.

TU to you OP anyways

neoprag L3: Novice Member sinceJan 2011 Posts207 Reputation 94 Followers 1 + Give Rep	I've been waiting for this one. And the black/black is out of stock at Ballistic website and even with their 20% discount code (ALL4LOVE), with $7.95 shipping, it's still expensive. Hopefully, this isn't some defective first batch version.... Thanks OP!
