If anyone wants more evidence of just how easily the Nexus 4 slides off things, here's a very unscientific video I took after witnessing my Nexus 4 slide off something and shatter the rear glass: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1hbVgO7_k8

It's incredible watching it slide ever-so-slowly on a surface that I previously thought was pretty much level.

Looks like a job for Sugru - pop a couple of tiny nubs on the back and it'll stop sliding!

Why would you put your phone glass-side-down anyway? Does it still slide about glass-side-up?

Both sides have glass surfaces.

However, the back has had nubs since around March: http://www.theverge.com/2013/3/28/4157304/google-nexus-4-des...

I put mine facedown at night to stop the annoying blinking light. They are curved to prevent scratching.

I think Light Flow allows you to disable LED at night (or set a max blink time, at least).
