Cases, shells, designed to attach, support or hold your Google Nexus 4, are popular accessories for many phones, especially your smartphone.

- Pockets and sleeves
- Cases
- Shells
- Skins
- Safety straps
- Bumpers
- Cases and wallets
- Screen protection and body films
- Protection against falls and shocks
- Leather cases etc. normally all available for your Google Nexus 4
Cases are commonly used alone for devices that include rubberized padding, and / or are a piece of plastic with rigid corners exposed to falls.

A stable box enhances the user experience on your Google Nexus 4, and is especially recommended for multimedia, video and audio, if available on your Google Nexus 4. The Folio box is a combination of a box and and a stand, and may include a keyboard (USB for OTG smartphones or Bluetooth keyboard).

Zoom on skin and vinyl shells for your Google Nexus 4
Design skins and covers can be used for protection and personalization on your Google Nexus 4. This is available on smartphones with “bare” designs produced by manufacturers such as Apple, where the metal and glass components of the device are exposed and vulnerable to damage.
They are separate cases, and generally allow the use of your Google Nexus 4 directly in the shell (as a cover). Please check if this is the case on a case by case basis though. However, in many cases, a belt clip or other fastener gives them the functionality of a holster. They are made of hard plastic, rubber, or new vinyl tape.
Vinyl skins can be ordered from many websites and pre-cut to fit your cell phone or other electronic device.
The vinyl material can be calendered or cast, the latter being more expensive.
Calendered vinyl should only be used for a short average time (less than 2 years) while cast vinyl can be used in the longer term for your Google Nexus 4. A calendered vinyl also tends to shrink in heat and can be shaped into any shape.
However, it could tarnish under direct sunlight. The current standard of calendered films is almost as good as poured vinyl. Cast vinyl avoids most problems, but costs up to 300% more.
The most popular is cast vinyl because of the wide range of designs available for your Google Nexus 4.
Multiple exterior patterns are available for the future shell of your Google Nexus 4. There is something for every taste.
Generally, these are impressions directly on the shell that can customize it. Different companies have different printing methods, some use sublimation to print on mobile phone cases, other methods include inkjet printed paints and 3D printing methods.
Be sure to check that the ink does not affect your Google Nexus 4 before going through such a process!
Some phones, like maybe the version of your Google Nexus 4, have replaceable coverage.
The release button on the cover allows you to replace the original case with a new one.
Other phones, like maybe your Google Nexus 4, which do not have replaceable shell can however accommodate a pseudo shell in addition to the original case.
These shells can be made of leather, vinyl, silicone or hard plastic, for example.
Note, functional enclosures can integrate an external battery, a USB keyboard, Bluetooth, WiFi and a touch mouse similarly to tablets.
These devices can be very valuable for your Google Nexus 4. In particular, the life of the battery can be substantially increased by such a shell.
To conclude on the cases for Google Nexus 4
The cases are based on the size of your Google Nexus 4’s screen and can be very resistant to hits.
All this does not detract from their elegant character in most cases.
In any case, we hope to have enlightened you on the cases to choose for your Google Nexus 4.
