The phone cannot sit flat in the case with the rubber cushion present.\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>For the last few years I&#8217;ve been using a <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/05\/17\/pelican-1015-as-nexus-one-case-for-the-outdoors\/\">Pelican 1050 case to carry my Google Nexus One phone<\/a> when biking, hiking, mapping, etc. This past Monday I received my new phone, a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nexus_4\">Google Nexus 4<\/a>, and set about fitting it into a new case. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pelican.com\/cases_detail.php?Case=1020\">Pelican 1020<\/a> is the closest fit, but unfortunately it&#8217;s just slightly too tall to hold the phone flat inside the case.<\/p>\n<p>Setting the phone at a slight angle allows it to fit nicely in the case, and with the addition of two block of neoprene foam rubber (layered and held into place with contact cement) the phone is soundly secured in the case. The block near the top of the phone holds it from rattling around, and the thicker block near the bottom keeps the phone from sliding around if dropped soundly on its face.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the most elegant solution, but until I can find a better-fitting case it&#8217;ll do. I&#8217;d love one which allows the phone to nestle in as nicely as the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2010\/05\/17\/pelican-1015-as-nexus-one-case-for-the-outdoors\/\">Pelican 1050 did<\/a> needing just a bit of extra foam, but that&#8217;ll take some digging, if they even exist&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the last few years I&#8217;ve been using a Pelican 1050 case to carry my Google Nexus One phone when biking, hiking, mapping, etc. This&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/2013\/01\/02\/pelican-1020-case-for-google-nexus-4\/\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Pelican 1020 Case for Google Nexus 4<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-electronics","category-making-things","entry"],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17031"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17246,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17031\/revisions\/17246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
