Hope this helps! As you can see, the corners aren't protected. Some may say it's fine since it's the front that's normally exposed to damage, but aesthetically, I'd prefer a nice flushed look.

it is curve glass, dry SP does not stick on tis well. only wet SP can do it nicely.

If you're wondering why some nfc cards work with older phones but not with nexus 4, this may be the answer: Final Word on Nexus 4 and NFC Tags Compatibility - xda-developers

The Nexus 4 & 10 are NOT compatible with Mifare Classic tags because Mifare Classic tags do NOT adhere to the NFC Forum's Standards. They can not write to the tags nor can they read information that someone else has written to the tags. However, they can detect the UID Code (kinda like a UPC code) of a tag which is unique to every tag. So, if you use an app like NFC ReTag or NFC Task Launcher which has the ability to just detect a tag and read it's UID code, and then launch settings/profiles/etc then you can still use Mifare Classic tags with the Nexus 4 & 10. This is why some people keep saying they are compatible. Just remember, technically they are NOT compatible - the phone can just read the UID code off of the tag.

Yep! Hence I was wondering where I might be able to get a hold of that locally. Currently iPosh doesn't bring in InvisibleShield's Nexus 4 wet SP yet. Anyone knows where else I might get one?

PS: The Wet SP by InvisibleShield doesn't cover the entire glass too I think, just saw the videos for their iPhone and Galaxy S3 application, corners left exposed as well.

i think spigen ultraoleophobic + diztroniz tpu case goes well together. the case actually covers the part where the sp doesnt protect and it goes inline with the edges of the sp.
anyway, pasting the sp on the nexus can really be a bitch. there is minimal allowance to play with especially at the curved edges

Thanks for the tip! Yes I am currently using a TPU casing as well, a cheap ugly "S" style one from Sunsky, China (Link). Not much choices now but will definitely change my casing once a nicer one comes by...$10 in Sim Lim, $2 online but get ready to wait for 2-3 weeks. The $8 Rock casing on this thread lasted me 2 days before the tips started to crack under stress.

I'm terrible at applying SPs, btw where did you get your Spigen SP? Does it have the back protection as well? If so I may consider a bumper in future.
