If yes, which case do you recommend for the phone?

Nope. Once it falls, you will have screen cracked.
If you get N4, do get a high quality case with it

If u want full proof protection no matter bulkiness then
IONIC GUARDIAN.

BALLISTIC SHELL.

U can find best protective cases here...

Ringke fusion is good if u want a back transparent case....
But it attracts many finger prints on it.
Good luck (y)

@amarff, do you just drop your phone out of habit, or does it just accidentally drop :lol:? It sounds more like you drop it once in a while just for fun :mrgreen:. I am sure when you are paying that much for a phone you will be careful enough not to drop it. I cant deny it, nokia has given us this bad habit :).

On second note, I was also planning to buy it from US before it was available here. I just wanted to know, who is providing the warranty for it in India, now its available here? Will they also be able to repair the phones that we got from US? Lastly, I will be getting a difference of about 7k if I buy from US. Is it worth the indian warranty, if there is any?
