Nexus 4 Dock Review

THE GOOD

• This dock gives you all the basic features.  Simple installation, and the charging feature works like a charm.
• This dock keeps all of your cords and plugs in one place, so you shouldn’t be worried about knocking it over.  This dock works great for at home, at work, and you can even use it as a stand on an airplane.  And for the price, you could easily get a couple!
• One of my favorite features is that this dock can be placed in both landscape and portrait mode, so you can easily get the best media viewing angle.    
• The dot on the bottom right hand corner of the dock is great because it automatically lights up that way you can easily ensure your Nexus 4 is charging
• Finally, this dock looks great!  It gives you a nice premium finish and definitely feels like it’s worth more than $13 dollars.

THE BAD

• The speakers on the back of the dock don’t work as well as external audio output.  
• The dock isn’t compatible with cases, not even the 1mm thin Diztronic Hardshell.

THE UGLY

• There is no ugly because this dock was made by Samsung and just so happens to work with the Nexus 4

FINAL VERDICT
For under $15 and with free prime shipping, this dock is an absolute beast.  This dock keeps everything you need in a neat and orderly fashion.  If you need a simple charger and stand for your Nexus 4, this is the dock for you.  Be sure to check it out on Amazon for $13 and remember to like if you enjoyed the video and remember to subscribe for more.

Nexus 4 Diztronic Hardshell Review

Nexus 4 Diztronic Hardshell Case Review



$9.99- Amazon Link
$9.99- Diztronic Link

Design

5/5

First of all, this case is EXTREMELY thin. It's only 1mm thin, making it 25% thinner than the original TPU case. The back has a non glossy Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers. It is a bit slippery, but won't catch lint on it or attract finger prints. Unlike other shell cases, this one isn't hard to take in and out. However, you definitely want to take it out periodically to make sure debris doesn't get caught in it and scratch the case. The edges of the case just barely go over the screen making a bit of a "lip". The lip is barely there and you may be able to fit a screen protector on it. The buttons are left exposed on the case making pressing the power button and volume rockers very easy. 


Protection

4/5

This case does a decent job at protecting the phone while still keeping a thin profile. The top and bottom of the case are left somewhat vulnerable, yet I understand how it would be tough to cover that part while making the case a "hardshell". Keep in mind this case is only 1mm thick, so I'm grading the protection based on the case's target audience. 


Final Verdict

4.5/5

This may be the thinnest case to ever hit the market. At $9.95 you get a lot of bang for your buck; this is a high quality case made with premium materials. You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right. This case is so thin you won't even notice it while still giving you some protection.

Nexus 4 Diztronic TPU Case Review

Nexus 4 Diztronic TPU Case Review

$12.50- Diztronic Matte Black TPU
$12.50- Diztronic Matte Smoke TPU


Design

5/5

The back of the case has a nice glossy tough black cover.  The bottom of the case has a good looking shiny Diztronic logo on it and a slot cut open for the camera and speakers.  The edges are made of a gelly type of material that makes the case easy to go in, but tougher to take out.  This is a plus in my book because it makes the phone seem like it melts into the case.  The edges of the case go over the screen making a bit of a "lip".  This could be an issue if you use a screen protector, but don't quote me on it.  The buttons can be pressed very easily and they aren't stiff at all.  The buttons are the most easy to press out of any case I have ever used.


Protection

5/5

This case protects all aspects of the phone while still keeping a thin and light profile.  The "lip" on the front of the case will definitely help to reduce the impact on the phone if dropped face first.


Final Verdict

5/5

This is probably the best case I've used so far for the Nexus 4.  At $12.99 you get a high quality case made with premium materials.  You can tell Diztronic took the time to make sure they got everything right.  This case gives you maximum protection, looks, and feel while keeping your beloved Nexus 4 protected.

Final Verdict

5/5

Out of all the cases I’ve reviewed this is easily the best. For only $14.99 you get the great looks and colors of the smart cover and luxury feel and looks to it too. This doesn’t feel flimsy or cheap it feels like a case that could be easily priced at $40+ , like the Smart Cover. If I had to buy any case at the moment, this would be it.

This was a quick written review for the Invellop Smart Case. You can check out my channel in the description for the full review. I'll try my best to upload some pictures if I have the time tomorrow.
