Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case for Nexus 4 Review




$12.99- [URL="http://goo.gl/HEZhP"]Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case[/URL]

This case is $12.90 and comes in many colors: smoke, red, pink, orange, blue, purple, teal, green, clear, and black.  If you want to check the cases out go ahead and check the description for a link to Amazon.

Design

The first thing I noticed about this case is that installation is a breeze.  The back has a nice modern design.  Side by side the Diztronic TPU, the Cruzerlite looks much classier.  The grey case and black phone gives you a nice contrast, especially with the silver buttons.

On the back we see a grey color, transparent “circuits”, and Cruzerlite branding.  On the top we see a cut out for the 8 megapixel camera and on the bottom we see a cut out for the speakers.  The Nexus logo and LG are both noticeable through the back of the case.

One of my favorite features is that it won’t attract any pocket lint and you can wipe away any residue.  The case is a little slippery in the hand, but it isn’t too noticeable.

Protection

One of the benefits to the Cruzerlite case is that it has a lip, which protects the display from damage when placed or dropped face first.  This case won’t protect the Nexus 4 from big drops, but it’s shock absorbent and will protect from minor nicks and bumps.

Final Verdict

The final veridct is that for $12.90 this is one of the best TPUs on the market.  The modern unique design gives it a much better look than other competing cases and the grippy back is definitely a plus.  With tons of different colors to choose from, you can’t go wrong with the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case.  However, if this case isn’t for you, be sure to check out my reviews of the Poetic Atmosphere and Diztronic TPU.

Poetic Atmosphere for Nexus 4 Review



If you're looking for great protection and also trying to keep a slim profile the Poetic Atmosphere is the case for you.  The slick design and cool grey lining sets it apart form other cases like the Diztronic TPU.  However, there are cons like the slippery back.  Therefore, the Poetic Atmosphere receives a 3.5 star rating.

Poetic Palette Review




The first thing I noticed about this case, is that unlike most other hardshells, it is easy to take on and off. It also has a cool, modern design unlike the typical hard shell.  Side by side the Diztronic Hard Shell, the Pallete looks much classier.  

The soft polycarbonate back gives you somewhat of a grippy feel to it, and won’t attract pocket lint or smudges.  The one thing I haven’t mentioned is how slim this case truly is.  While Poetic hasn’t yet given us the exact dimensions; I can guarantee you that it is as thin, or thinner than the 1mm thick Diztronic Hardshell.  

My main gripe, which may not be a concern to you viewers, is that the case doesn’t have a lip.  The benefit to a lip is that if the phone is dropped face first, there will be less of an impact; resulting in less damage to the phone itself.  

Final Verdict

The Poetic Pallete is easily the best slim case out on the market.  While I haven’t gotten the chances to check out Reath’s Ringke Slim Case.  I trust that this is a much better overall product; considering we shouldn’t need a replacement one.  The modern classy look gives it a much better look than other competing cases and the grippy back is definitely a plus.  Therefore the Poetic Pallete receives a 5 star review.
