Here's a bit of a left-field suggestion among all the rubber backs and bumper cases: why not get a sleeve case instead?

I found this seller on etsy a while ago. They make pouches for any number of devices using jeans fabric on the outside and coloured cotton on the inside. What I like about them: they are very minimalist and low-key. Perfect for protecting your G4 while traveling or when you want to toss it into a bag but you're worried it might get pushed around or scratched by sharp objects such as your house keys.
In my opinion a perfect solution for those looking to protect the phone when it's not in use but who don't want to mess up the design by putting a rubber or bumper case around it. Of course, it won't help you if it slips out of your hand and hits the concrete while you're using it.. those are the trade-offs.
I have a similar pouch for my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) and it's been serving me well for almost 2 years now. Highly recommended.
I ordered one for my G4 yesterday (the phone arrived two days ago). I'll post an update once I receive the sleeve case.

It's pretty simple actually...
1) a sleeve doesn't protect against drops
2) you can't use your phone without taking it out of the sleeve.

I made similar points in my initial post —
It won't be of much use to you if you feel you need protection at all times.
I intend to keep it in the sleeve when not in use and while traveling. I'm going to see if that works for me as well as I hope it does — it's been a great combination with the Nexus 7.

See the pictures I posted above - it's like a jeans pocket that you slide the phone into. Mine has an extra pocket in the front that can carry a credit card or something similar. Just slide your phone in and it's protected from falls or during travel.
I prefer to use my phone 'naked' and I use instant messaging much more than actual phone calls, so this arrangement works very well for me. Hope this helps.

Got one of these recently and it's really nice for the price. Fits well and seems well made. Magnetic clasp and cutouts for the cameras etc. Currently £13.95 at mobilefun.co.uk.

I nearly bought one of these myself Paul but instead went for the Samsung Executive Case....... and I'm not happy with it.
Like the case you kindly mention I don't like the leather surrounding the glass surface. Much prefer the case where you 'click' the Tab into place rather than slide it in.
Any idea's which would be a good case?
I've only used the one above and (for a short while) the official Samsung case. Not the executive one though. It was the sleeve variant. I really didn't like it. Very hard to get the device in and out of as it was so tight. I'm happy with the one I got, though may try a TPU style cover at some point.

Yes I have the same issue with the Samsung Executive case, it's a right pain inserting and taking out of the case.
That looks very like the red one I recently got

Good case, but it does have tendency to let the tab slip out of the top if held upside down (while taking out of a bag, for example)

Hi Jon (hey we're neighbours ). That does look very like mine, apart from the colour. I've not had the problem with it slipping, it's a snug fit. Unlike the official case, which was a strangulated fit .
I see we also share the same taste in where you purchased it too.
I obtained my Samsung Executive case from LondonMagicStore.
Excellent service from them, have purchased quite a few items in the past and have their Black Gel Case Cover Stand on order as well.
I bought this case September 2011 and have to say this is one of the best cases so far. I have dropped my tab a few times and no damage. only a tiny ding on the case and its still looks like new.

I definitely agree with this. I received this exact cover for my tab for free with my purchase in June 2011 and it AND my tab both look as good as the day I bought it!
I'm considering buying this case, but does it clip closed at all or does it just sort of hang freely? I tend to keep my tablet in my backpack and would hate for the flap to open up while its in there.

Q: what forum is this again?
A: P-1000 forum
I have been using the same for a year now, and it's worth it. Fell out a few times but thankfully no damage.
I got this one recently. It's fantastic! The great thing about using an old device is that the accessories are now dirt cheap. I got the OEM keyboard dock, new in box, for about $20 on eBay a few weeks back.

Great case i'm very happy with it
For my opinion, I don't suggest you to buy it.
After I had newly bought for few months, the leather cover (I mean the flippable cover) and its inner material separated almost into two pieces.
I can say that the inner material and the leather cover are stuck together by a layer of glue and can be easily removed if a little bit water soak the cover for a little while.
However, this case can resist impact force quite well as if the tab is under free fall motion with height over 0.5m. The case can really protect the tab.
This is the only thing that worth to be praised I think.
I just posted this in the G2x forums, but I figured you guys might find it useful as well...
I just got a 2800MAH Anker Extended battery from ebay, and unfortunately, my TPU case didn't fit over the extended case back. FatalityBoyZahy suggested that I cut the back of the TPU case off to make it fit, and this is what I did.
What you need:
Generic TPU Case
Xacto Knife/Some sort of Cutting Implement
Patience
Optional:
File
Match/Lighter/Some sort of small controlled flame
What I did was cut the back of the case, a little at a time, until it fit over my phone with the extended battery in. I ended up taking most of the back off before it fit.
I'm not that great with an Xacto, so the cut was bumpy and jaggedy. I used a file to even it out as best I could. I'm a bit of a perfectionist, so I wanted a clean edge. So, I used matches to melt the cut edge, and when it dried it was a clean, almost factory finish.

Final thoughts...
I think that It came out pretty well. One thing that I do notice is that the sides dont hug the phone like they used to... I think that this is because the profile is slightly different now and I left a decent amount of material. You could probably fix this if you cut a bit more. Its no big deal and you can still press all the buttons. From a distance, this seems like a manufactured case. You can only tell that it's diy'ed when you look at it from close up. Also, I think that using the file wasn't necessary because if you hold the flame there long enough you should be able to melt it down to be even. But don't hold the flame at one place too long... I had my case catch fire once
Cases are cheap, give it a shot :laugh:
how secure is the case imean it lowers the damage of a fall or it's just like look nice case ?

It fits pretty snugly on the phone, so it should be just as secure as using a tpu case (other than the exposed back of course). I haven't dropped it yet thankfully, but it fits on pretty tightly and wouldn't fall off or anything... I'm pretty pleased with how it came out!
I just wanted to recommend a product I just received today. Go check out her etsy store. You can get handmade sleeves for just about any device and if your device isn't there, just let her know what you want and she'll make it for you. This sleeve is made with a durable dark denim material on the outside and a stylish, soft colored interior fabric. Well-made and incredibly cheap. I got mine for just $16 + $5.50 shipping. She is based in Latvia so it takes a week or two to get to you but it is well worth the wait. For those of you who are going naked (no case on the Nexus), I highly recommend this seller's product. Even her packaging is well thought out and well designed.

Anyway, there's the link. And no, I am in no way affiliated with this seller.

How tight is it? Could I fit my N7 inside my Poetic case?

Those look really nice, actually. Though I usually don't go for just cloth cases.

No, but you could measure how much extra thickness and width it adds to your tab and send her a custom request. I don't think it costs any extra.. but don't quote me on that. My naked Nexus 7 slides easily, just perfectly, into the sleeve. With my thin incipio hardshell case it was a bit difficult to slide it, though possible. It also has to do with the slightly rubberized texture of the incipio case though.
And yeah, the case is just cloth with some soft fluffy batting inside for some padding. It is actually surprisingly durable, though from a 5 foot fall straight onto the corner of the tab, I'm not sure how much protection it will offer. Though, the corners are probably the best padded part. For throwing in a book bag it's pretty perfect.
I picked up the Supcase armband case from Amazon since it has openings for all the features of the phone so you can still use it during a workout (Camera, audio jack, spen, fingerprint reader). The case material is a very thin flexible rubber but when put onto the phone actually feels pretty solid with a good fit. Due to how light this phone is, when attached to your arm it does not bounce around much at all though I thought it might initially. The strap loops through a slot in the back of the rubber case which could be a point of failure, but that doesn't seem to be much of an issue if the strap is tight enough since it really doesn't bounce around. Time will tell about the durability. I intend to mostly use it for biking so bouncing around is not as much of a concern than it would be for running (it really doesn't move much at all). I'll update after I give it a few rounds of use. Attached are pics.

My wife has this case for her LG G4. She like it a lot as it seems to be very reliable when she goes running everyday. She also likes the fact that you can use it as a case without the strap. She has the pink one.

Yeah forgot to mention that part but I'm probably going to stick to my other case for daily driver purposes. I grabbed this one since you can still use the fingerprint reader and I heard those other ones with the plastic film over the screen limit it's usage.

That's true. I had a few from amazon that hindered the scanner's use. Only case I found that doesn't but does have a protector is from Supcase that's also water resistant(not waterproof).
I love this armband. Just enough opening find fingerprint
