Hey guys,
Bugatti has an amazing lineup of pouches available. They look pretty premium and are hand stitched leather for a seemingly reasonable price.
They're listed as compatible with the one x, galaxy s3 and galaxy nexus so I'm petty sure they should fit the N4 well. Also, the skinny fit cases have a cutout in front which would allow for our notification LED to be seen while in the pouch. These appear to be some of the best looking pouches around. And I know lots of us prefer using the nexus 4 naked since the phone just feels that good. A quality pouch like this should be ideal to match the premium feel of the phone, yet provide scratch protection.

These cases are a little hard to find for purchase online, especially with worldwide delivery. The ebay and amazon sites of Germany and the UK seem to be stocking them, but finding sellers that ship around the world isn't easy. More links would be appreciated if anyone comes across any.

Has anyone had any first hand experience with any of these pouches? Some reviews would be great as well ^^

If we could have one thread dedicated to reviews and information about this brand of pouches I'm sure it would help a lot of N4 owners including myself.

wow, these look classy & not from China!

Does anyone want to be the guinea pig for fitment? I'm thinking of buying the SGSIII version since our phone is similar to that in size and shape..

There is one size for the S3, one x and galaxy nexus. I'm pretty sure it should fit the nexus 4 if it was made for those 3 phones.

Here is a post I found where the nexus 4 looks like its fitting great in another member's bugatti pouch.

The bugatti pouch I use with my one x fits the N4 perfectly. The notification light is also visible when it is in the pouch.

Beautiful!

I'm liking that blue. Looks like there is a little bit of space on both sides for the phone to move around side to side. I'll go and try the SGSIII version and post pics on here for everyone.

Nice find. I have been looking for a more premium pouch as usually they are super cheap and feel horrible.

Here's a small review I found from another member who got one for his nexus 4.

Just got it this morning shipped from the UK & it's awesome!!! Made from real leather. The inside has a microfiber lining & it's a perfect snug (not too tight) fit and the notification light is visible.

It's the Bugatti Skinny XL case.... (I ordered the HTC One X size, fits perfect).

Yes HTC one x version. XL size I believe. I'll let you know but for the price and the pictures I think it's the best deal.

the price for these quality pouches is remarkable. I've decided that I'll run the phone naked w/ the bugatti pouche. Looks classy and fresh dining out :D
Just waiting to see yours in person pics on here.

@ devierpaul - screw BuyChina...garbage.

That's what I'm going to do. I cannot understand people using cheap plastic cases on this amazing phone.

Totally agree with you

The grip of this phone in hand is superb, and I know Google worked very hard with Lg to refine it, so there is no way I'm going to ruin it with some cheap tat.

Ordered the black and red skinny xl, will report on how it is when I get it, but no doubt it will be great!

Two words.. 'impact damage'...

These cases really do look amazing though. Even though I have cases for the N4 I feel like I should get one of these pouches for those moments when I want the naked phone experience.

    Perfect Velvety

    It took a couple of weeks getting here from Germany (thought it would be faster), but it's here. I had to sneak my wife's phone out while she was asleep to fit and get photos. It's a Valentine's Day gift to her. Here are the photos (with commentary):

    Out of the package, you almost have to force the phone into the Perfect Velvety pouch. Don't worry, there's nothing in the pouch that can hurt the phone. Don't insert it all the way in the first few times, cause you'll have a hard time removing the phone!
    p1386017032.jpg



    After partially inserting and removing the phone about a dozen times slowly, the leather will stretch out enough (at least for me) to more easily insert it all the way and be able to get the phone out. Do this slowly! Don't rush it. It takes time for the leather to stretch.
    p1386017042.jpg



    I prefer inserting the phone in upside down since that makes the USB port accessible and also makes it easier to not accidentally hit the volume and power side buttons when pulling the phone from the pouch.
    p1386016996.jpg



    This is how far the phone is "ejected" when using the pull tab. Pulling it out the rest of the way will get easier the more the leather stretches with use.
    p1386016998.jpg

    p1386017018.jpg



    The quality of the materials and stitching is top notch. And the suede feels oh so good! I love the finish--everything about it looks and feels luxurious. It also smells great!
    p1386017030.jpg

    p1386017042.jpg



    Even the inside is finished beautifully. It's a kind of cotton canvas feeling material.
    p1386017048.jpg



    A fitting luxurious case at a very decent price for the Nexus 4. Highly recommended!
    p1386017026.jpg



    TIP: You can aid the stretching of the leather by spraying the pouch with water, leaving the phone inserted and letting it dry. No worries--as long as you don't submerge the pouch in water, it shouldn't damage the suede. I used a commercial product called "Shoe Stretch" from FootFitter, which helped speed up the process. I've now sprayed and dried the pouch four times over two nights, and the pouch feels perfect now. Nexus goes in, stays put, easy to remove via pull tab.

    It doesn't fit completely.. Hopefully it protects my N4 enough, and I hope the inside stitches won't damage it.

    My package from Germany came yesterday... This is the Bugatti Cross (with pull tab). I love the smell of the leather and the build quality is excellent. Although I ordered the One XL they sent me the One X. The difference between those two devices is the XL being .02" longer. However, the One X is still .02" longer than the Nexus 4...not an issue. With that said, this is a snug fit and I'm currently putting it in and taking it out and is getting better as the leather will stretch with time. The Nexus 4 is covered end to end and I can feel confident to drop this and the phone would be fine. Great service and customer feedback from them. Took 10 days from order to delivery...
