Has anyone tried the poetic slimbook leather case? I'm tempted to have a go with this, but for the time being I've just ordered a HTC branded pull up leather case!

The reviews seem pretty good on amazon , think I'm going to have a punt on one. Although the price before crimbo was £4.95, now it's £9.95.
 
Just an FYI for anyone after a slip case : The HTC one X case fits perfectly and they have an elasticated release now :)
 
I ordered the "LG Google Nexus 4 E960 Black S Line Wave Gel Case Skin Cover", its was only £3 for the time being. It is far from being a good cover. so on thehunt for a better replacement.

Today I randomly decided to do something about the msm_hsic_host wakelock. While this is known, I thought I might as well share the fix that's available on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102986

This is the best solution for those that want a kernel as close to stock as possible (typically to ensure the experience is as smooth as possible), but want to fix the wakelock. The fix literally just uses the stock kernel but with the fixes applied. Personally would rather not go with the alternative kernel routes, as I have found they are noticeably more jittery, yet if I go by the battery life claims made by many, they seem to yield little to no improvement.

I have only just installed it so cannot comment on whether or not it works. Will provide updates tomorrow.

Just to provide an update, my battery life has improved noticeably. If you are using the stock kernel (provided with many custom ROMs, PA, CM, AOKP etc) then there is no reason not to install this, as it is the same kernel, just with patches.
 
I received my Mofi pouch today, I got the size for the HTC One X, it fits my Nexus 4 very nicely without a case (I don't intent to buy one for it), there's a little bit of slack but it doesn't shake around in the case, the bit of slack makes it easy enough to take the phone in and out of the case. Bought from ebay and it arrived in a couple of days :)
 
I'd like to know the same.

Ive found loads on the bay but I'm keen to know if it offers protection when the phone is lying on its front. Does it protect the screen or is it flush?

Just received my mofi pouch today too(kangaroo version). Its very snug however its just that little bit short for my liking.
 
If you search for me in the main nexus 4 thread you'll find some pics of the Nillkin case.

It doesnt quite sit flush with front (by maybe 1-2mm) so offers a bit of protection.

I like the look of the Diztronic one, seems to offer good protection. Tried to find something like that from a UK seller without any luck.

Wish there was somewhere local to me that held stock of a wide range of N4 caes at decent prices. Phone charge an arm and a leg!

they are available from amazon / ebay i believe, not sure if they are all UK sellers, but who really cares, ive ordered from china, hong kong, etc and believe it or not, it arrives within a few days, a week at max.

rougly £10 for the one your looking at, the guardian is better value for money though imo, much more protection for a few more quid, just wish they sold it in the different colours the pics show you instead of just black
 
Quite impressed with this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Google-Nexus-Skin-Case-Cover/dp/B00ABA1G66/ref=pd_ys_iyr5 Case so far!.. Nice and grippy!, don't think my N4 is going to 'skate' it's way off the desk any time soon!! :D

that's the same one I have currently, i also bought a few others as well as a bugatti pouch. i was hoping the pouch would fit over this case, but it doesn't. the other cases either do not protect the top and bottom of the phone or the buttons are exposed, i prefer the rubber being over the buttons.

so this is the best case i have come across anyway apart from that ionic guardian thing, which looks a lot better against drop protection but it is 10 times the money.

Got mine in clear but thinking I should have gotten it in Black instead too :p certain parts on the back press down at the top and bottom and leave these little "splodges" like plastic does when it's pressing down on something wet (despite it being dry) and it looks weird.
