It's not new but it is good. The fit is perfect and I swap between it and this as I don't like putting this phone in my pocket.

Take a look at the TPU S_Line wave case thread or simply buy 2 + a decent screen protector for less money at eBay

in case link doesn't work look for seller "eforcity" where I think the eBay offer is cheaper. It's a more than decent case, comparable to the "Rockfish" brand sold at BestBuy.

Acase is pretty slick

I have had the Belkin case (too bulky, no cut out for charging) and the red on from best buy (okay but I'm a grown man I can be caught with a bright red ass case).
The Acase is slim and light. It doesn't add any bulk plus charging slot is open. Damn there perfect. Reg $80 but on sale for $20.

i have this case. the second image on amazon does not really work as advertised.
the battery charger slot is great and there is also a cut out for the camera as well.
very good case and very professional looking.

Not sure what you mean. I type 2 paraghps like that today.

Anyone know where to buy this case in Europe?

this appears to be almost exactly the same case as the Vipertek case that was previously available on Amazon (no longer available). It is a pretty decent case, especially for the money. Too bad you can't get the Vipertek anymore, the logo is "cooler" than the Acase logo.

Meanwhile I received the Noreve case. It's a pretty good case with only one real problem... The tab not only clicks into the case at the top, but also at the bottom. So I am wrestling with the thing every time when I want to use it as a stand or when I want to put mthe Tab in the cradle.
Otoh this case has an opening for the power plug ad the tab can be used in the case while being charged.

wish they'd ship some more over to the UK. Cant get touchstones anywhere here...

thanks for sharing. ordered a case and touchstone charging dock !

very nice.. thanks for this. probably will get me a sleeve and another folio, even though i not happy with the long term durability of the folio

Crap, I just bought the case and touchstone charger on ebay for what I thought was a good price about a week ago.
Paid $65 for both shipped.. With this sale I could have gotten them for $40 + shipping.

looks like touchstone is out of stock already.

This was posted on Slickdeals early morning today which means if you hesitate to buy it, it will be sold out. I did manage to buy 2 with free ship and tax out the door for 53.85. You don't get the same deal buying two at a time. If you only buy one it is $20 but you have to pay the $5+ for shipping and tax.
If you used Ebates you would get an additional 5% rebate of your total order.

Where to Buy Bumper in Toronto Canada

Anyone know where to purchase the official bumper in the GTA? I would prefer to buy it at a store and not from Google Play as it costs almost 35 dollars with shipping and taxes. Thanks

Hello my fellow Canadian,
I live down in London and was in the same boat as you. Everywhere I went it was either sold out or they didn't have it. Your only chance is to buy it online. You can check out futureshop or best buy, they have it on there for 24.99 with free shipping I think but they only have the black one. Ebay and amazon is another method but don't know about the shopping cost. Www.Puremobile.ca is another site but I think they might be still sold out. You could also check those Wind stands in the mall, I went to one of them before but they were sold out.
I ended up getting my white (they have the black one also) OEM Bumper from www.blueshop.ca. It was Free shipping just had to pay the tax, came in 2 days.
Don't know where other members got their bumper from.
Hope this helps and Happy Hunting .

Thanks my Canadian Friend! Hopefully I can get one at Wind. BTW, what are your experiences with the bumper? Good or bad?

I actually just got it in the mail a couple of days ago, I was using the Rearth Ringke Fusion case for a while and then the Spigen ultra slim one for a bit. So far the bumper is great. There have been various reports that the bumper's aluminum finish that goes around it cracks at the bottom near the USB port. There are various replicas you can get if you don't want to drop 30 bones on the OEM one. The replica bumpers also breaks in the same place. Keep in mind the original OEM one is obviously made From better quality than the replicas. Some people like the replicas more, no idea why. The bumper doesn't give the phone that much bulk and only protects the edges obviously. You can combo the bumper with a dbrand skin and it would look awesome and also provides scratch protection for the back.
So far mine didn't break yet and my older brother had his for a couple of months and it didn't break yet. So we can only wait and see for now.

Poetic bumper
Hey,
I'm in Toronto as well. Got my bumper from here:
Poetic Borderline Bumper (Blue) @ Amazon
Since I have a trial prime membership, the shipping was free. The bumper itself is awesome. Not sure how it is compared to the OEM one, but this bumper looks nice and gets the job done

Using both of them each of them has their pro and cons.
OEM looks better than the Poetic Bumper.
Poetic Bumper is less bulky and easier to hold in the hand compared to the LG bumper.
OEM has better button clicks (has built in 'clicks')

In Toronto too.
I don't recommend the bumper due to the lack of protection for the rear glass panel. I got a very sturdy TPU case off ebay for $5. A friend scored the same thing for $3 =.=. Takes a while to ship from China, but totally worth it.
If you really want a bumper over a full case, you can still find it on ebay for single digit prices. It won't be the official one, but I doubt the official one is really any better.

Blueshop.ca has it. They also have great shipping times and prices for Canadians

Go with the Poetic bumper. Not as pretty but feels better in the hand, the rubber part grips better on flat surfaces and it's 1/3 of the price of the official bumper.

There you go. Poetic bumper on amazon.ca for a great price and shipping. Since all the bumper's crack at the bottom eventually and you might possibly don't want to drop 30 bucks for a OEM one, you should get the poetic one. I only got the OEM Bumper cause I wanted white

Go to pacific mall!!!!

Really? Would PMall have Nexus 4 cases?

For OEM bumper, I think your best bet is as Kendaihou mentioned, futureshop or best buy.
If ever you pass by Quebec, you can get at a Videotron shop for $20 (this is where i got mine, and they used to carry a ton of them).
The reason that the grey plastic below the usb port cracks is due to bending with installation/removal. I find out if you don't remove the case often and only remove/bend it from the TOP corners, the plastic at the bottom of the usb port shouldl not crack.
And by the way, nothing beats OEM quality

Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.

Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.

These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

I had signed up to receive emails previously, so the 40% off notification email says that if you enter the email address, you get an additional $5 off.

Take a look at this link. You have 12 battery cover colors to pick from, and will make your S4 really unique, and it looks pretty cool. I purchased the Dark Blue and Green covers.
Only $4.39 each and ships from New Jersey, USA:

Yeah I already have a gold and silver one but those are nice too and cheap.

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.
