I was looking on eBay for a nice TPU case that is somewhat clear to see the awesome back of the phone. I found this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321025632878?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Its from Texas, US, so it should arrive quick compared to Hong Kong. Any thoughts on it or if anyone already bought one similar to it? I'm supposedly getting my device middle of next week and don't want to damage it.
Just ordered the white one. I need something for now to avoid a mishap

I ordered a clear one yesterday!
I ordered one a few days ago from that seller. Still hasn't shipped.
I, for one, am waiting on the CruzerLite cases. Hopefully they make more than TPU soon because i think TPU would not protect the back glass at all. http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/pre-order-androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-lg-nexus-4

From what I've seen, the glass breaks from nothing and I think TPU would transfer the energy straight to the glass

Why almost EVERY TPU case I see has this stupid S shape on it?

Has anyone who bought this case received a shipping confirmation?
Mine shipped yesterday, but it'll get here by the 28th

I ordered one of these in white from the US seller, it came in yesterday. It actually looks and feels a bit better than I expected. Doesn't add too much bulk and provides enough grip.
This one is cheaper and the same thing basically. With quick shipping even though it's HK. http://www.ebay.com/itm/170946973494?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Hello fellow N4 owners, I have seen many reviews of the poetic bumpers but had not seen any for this particular one i found on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B199960/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I recently received it and I have to say it is a quality product, The packaging in came in looks exactly like the one from the Play Store but without any Google branding. I have had it on since yesterday and so far so good, I will post pictures of it when I get home from work.
Hmm.. I think this belongs in the Official replica thread mate.
that's good to hear, i just ordered the same one yesterday.
Just got mine in the mail and put it on. It's really nice. I can't compare it to the Google bumper as I've never used or seen one. But this one is good. The buttons work well, the cutouts are perfect, and I don't feel like I'm going to break my phone.
Definitely worth it. I'll be happy to answer any questions if anyone has some.

Looks like it since the seller also has abacus in his name.
Guess I'll save the dollar then. Now if I can only decide between the Ringke fusion and this
they don't ship to Canada :crying:

if you cant decide then it means you should get both. its a good ideal to have a case that protects the back on days you need more protection.
for those that have the bumper, does it look like the plastic will peal from the rubber layer? also i read some amazon reviews that people were saying some 3.5mm audio jacks dont fit with the case. Can anyone confirm this?
I just received mine yesterday...I like it...though it's way too smooth and slides out my hands easily...I'll probably buy a Poetic and the official one too, or wait a bit more and see what else comes out for it.
Any flex in it?, post pics
Sent from my Nexus 4
I'm waiting for mine to arrive, all the reviews at amazon say its a great case that looks and feels just like the oem from google but I also ordered the Ringke Hybrid Fusion just in case I didn't like this one. Pics anyone?
The official will feel like the replica so you'd be better off not buying the official one if this one is not of your liking.
I ordered this a few days ago. Abacus24-7 sent the wrong item and I received a folio case. When contacted, they responded very quickly saying they would send the right item and haven't asked me to send back the wrong one. So....I can't say anything about the bumper yet but the customer service is very good so far.
:good:
can these be bought in the uk?
I received mine yesterday and no complaints so far :thumbup:

Excellent Product
Just got mine, and I really like it, The buttons are actually better with the bumpers that they are normally. I have a Ringke Slim that I was using that was excellent so it feels a bit wide, but I'll get used to it.

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 .
Sent from my awesome possum Nexus 4
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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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
Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.

I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else
For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.
Decent slimline case for the few quid I paid for it.
I tend to change my cases regularly so cheap and cheerful is OK for me.

Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!

When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.
Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.
Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)
For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."
There are new cases from Incipio available:

If you are in the US, call your local T-Mobile store and see what cases they have. That is probably the fastest way to get one right now. Most stores seem to have gotten some in. I got the tech21 evo clear but my store had the otterbox and soap bubble.
T-mobile has them listed on their website. Some of these like the tech21 aren't even listed on their own website.

I used to work for t-mobile and I tried for the longest time to get in communication with whoever picks the cases we sold in store/online trying to get them to sell uag cases.... I finally was told that uag specifically doesn't want their cases re-sold by 4rd parties and they want only sell direct to keep prices down
All of that to say I like uag even before I knew that. And I will always recommend a uag case
