Last time they went on sale (December 2nd IIRC) they last for well over two hours, I'd hope/think Google had enough stock pilled up this time that they it should last for a little while longer.
Trying to order from my phone. Think I can remember my gmail pw? Nope.
WIND Mobile will be adding the Nexus 4 to their lineup in the coming days. We’ve managed to confirm with the carrier that “the Nexus 4 will be available in stores from Monday February 4th. Pricing is yet to be released.”
What are you guys using for cases to protect your Nexus?
I currently have an HTC Desire HD (selling as soon as I get my Nexus), and I use an OtterBox commuter case on it. Unfortunatley, OtterBox does not make a case for the Nexus 4. I have no idea why. Seems weird that they don't. I've even asked them, via tweet, and all they say is "no plans to make one." Ok...
Anyway, what are you guys using? I found some case reviews online. Here are a couple:
I've ordered a bumper for mine, but I'll probably sell it now. I'd like a case to protect the whole thing. I'll put something up on the Buy/Sell once it arrives.
Seems a lot of people are having problems now with them falling apart though. Maybe a bad batch. I got mine in December I think. It's held together great. This phone definitely needs something though. Not having a bumper/case is asking for it.

Dang. I wish I could modify my order and not have the bumper ordered and delivered. I think it's too late. I don't have the option.
I bought my girlfriend a case from Diztronic. If you are looking for a very good quality TPU case you should check them out. Case was only ~$13 shipped (I believe i used a 10% off code though).

They don't appear to be accepting payments from my region at this time.

I've never bought a case for any phone I've had, Blackberry, iPhone or Nexus S. I doubt it that will change for my Nexus 4. The back glass worries me up I've resigned myself to being stupid enough to buying a new phone every year instead of every two years like I try so I'm not all that worried. If the back glass ends up cracking so much it's ugly then I'll get something small to cover it up.
Some phones in general are too damn pretty to cover up with those bug ugly gaudy cases.

Hm... now that the Nexus 4 is back in stock I'm really tempted to get one. Though I could just hold out for the Motorola X Phone that's rumored to be out mid this year. Decisions decisions.
Apparently it'll be sold on play store as well without contract but will have custom Moto UI while still being updated by Google? Is that still considered a Nexus then?

At 350 bucks it was way too hard to pass up on the Nexus 4 and I've stopped fooling myself that I'll only get a new phone every two years. It makes it a heck of a lot easier getting a phone once a year when it's sub-400 bucks.

My guess is, is won't be a true Nexus device then, since Nexus has meant pure Android.
The plus being if those rumors are true then it will be awesome to finally have another Android device that gets consistent fast updates like Nexus devices have, bypassing carriers and hardware guys.
Just got an update from Google. Should be delivered by UPS by Wednesday.
I called Google to see if I could change the shipping address. They said they couldn't change it, as UPS had already taken it. So I called UPS and they said they would attempt to deliver it, and then hold it.
UPS said that since a signature isn't required, they would just leave it at the door. This has me worried. What if it's freezing outside? No way I'm gonna keep a phone damaged by the cold.
How did the rest of you get yours? Was it left at the door? I kind of wish I had given my office address. Dang it.

I'd personally wait for the mysterious Moto X. Motorola's recent relase of phones have been actually impressive, especially battery life and I don't mean just the Maxx series.
Right now Motorola's stuff is so watered down that it could almost pass off for stock Android. They probably have a couple apps and widgets extra but not really much in the way of theme-ing.
If it is suppose to be a Nexus, then essentially nothing other than stock Google touches it. Might be a bit of a shame because some of the things Motorola includes now is actually useful, like SmartActions.

They just dropped mine off in my mailbox. It's not a very big package.
