Of course, one must always be aware that you have to make a small sacrifice to protect. In this case, it is that the device is a little bigger naturally. But this disadvantage is of course the one benefit of an envelope a conscious. (It also feels repeatedly as a new smartphone on when the machine will after a while with shell out. ;-)) It should also be noted that you can feel the transition between the side and the back of the envelope. The shell does not seem to be cast in one piece and you can feel a seam at said location. Whether these two criteria are to be evaluated negatively, depends on the person who likes to use this cover. I personally have no problem with it, so feel not disturbed. I am satisfied with this cover and use it now for a couple of months.
One disadvantage for owners of the official Nexus 4 induction charging station by Google should be mentioned:
Namely, the device adheres to the shell is no longer so great on the charging station. It considers, therefore slips away not by itself, but it also does not stick so much more at the rear, as without shell. The device is therefore only on the charging station and can be moved without having to lift it (or break away from the rubber parts of the charging station) therefore.
