Still waiting for my N4 but just spotted this one on Amazon as an alternative since it's impossible to order the official one:

dont waste your time with those bumpers, i bought similar ones for gnex and they were garbage, the rubber will start pealing from the pastic after a few weeks or sooner if you take it off and on too much. I bought a black and white one, the white one had a hole in a random spot. they look and feel very cheap, i paid $7 for them and felt like i was ripped off.

Why is one corner open seems like a bad design

yeah. a hole on one of the corners seems a bit weird

15$ for that bumper is expensive. I prefer pay 10$ more (with shipping fees) and get the original one. On Amazon, the price is more reasonnable

The Google bumper is great, feels like it was always meant to be on the device, and doesn't add noticeable bulk. I'd recommend shelling out the extra bucks.

not sure if I agree with the noticeable bulk part. The device doesn't feel thicker but it definitely feels wider and takes some getting used to. I love the bumper for the most part and it definitely has grown on me but then when I take it out and feel the device naked the difference is night and day.

at the amazon price, ordered one for everyone I know with a N4 lol. I already ordered one for myself but I'm sure they will enjoy them too.

Great case, love it on my phone. And will absolutely take a month I learned first hand,I wouldn't bother ordering and just wait for local options once they arrive.

Usually when I order from China, it takes around 2 weeks for me to get in the mail. I wish manufactures would have made them earlier since all the specs were released...I guess I'll just use some kind of pouch to carry it around till I get something.

Cant keep living in fear man! Be a little careful about your phone, enjoy its beauty. Accidents might/ might not happen. Thats me! Livin mah life on the edge
Or maybe wait for some bumpers
Yep, don't want to cover up this awesome looking device!
rather wait for a better one..
Been case and screen protector free on my GNex for almost a year, not a scratch or ding on it.
Next week when my daughter takes it though it will be in a Kraken case
I would pick one up, but I don't want to cover up that sexy back of the nexus 4
I'm probably going to put a full body screen protector and not put on a case though that one looks nice. Just got be extra careful. What would be really cool is if they made a Qi inductive case, that charges your phone, that way you never need to charge your phone.

The Nexus 4 has QI charger built into it. I believe it has a range of 40mm... So unless your case is made of metal you will be okay.

These "S" design back cases are some of the ugliest cases I've seen. Kinda like those clear "Altezza" vehicle tail lights from the early 2000s.

I have to agree. They look really tacky.
pretty cheap
For me, I would thank the OP for this. for 4 bucks, I would buy a 'protection' while taking my time to wait for the perfect case...

They aren't beautiful but for the price, consistent design, thinness, and especially the grip edges, there's few competition from getting the most for your dollar perspective.

I agree, it looks kind of cheap looking for $13 price tag. I hope Google gets off its ass and start making these Bumpers available. They also need to start contacting companies to get some cases on the market. If they are going to keep running out of Bumpers and we have very limited options, they BETTER expect lots of cracked Nexus 4's coming back to their replacement warehouse. There is no reason for a company like this to have such a poor E-Commerce practice. It's absolutely ridiculous.

+$3.98 shipping for me... booooooo
I haven't gotten the clear case I ordered yet from them, but I can vouch for their customer service.
I preordered the clear case and received a package from them late last week. It had an S case in it.
The clear cases have taken a little longer to manufacture, so they sent me a free S case to make sure my phone is protected until the clear case is in stock.
Note: I ordered the clear case, not the smoked clear. Looks like they took the clear option off of Amazon temporarily.
Yea I ordered it Friday I think its shipping today I'll post some pics when I get it ...didn't notice the back saying Kay's case till after Lol :/

I have their S- line type case on my nexus 4 right now, I know it isn't the same case, but very similar. TBO it looks like the same one that is selling on Ebay from China for less.
I considered buying one off Ebay, but glad I didn't because they sent me a black case when I ordered a clear one. I messaged them and they are sending me the clear one I ordered free of charge. I know it is rare to have an issue like I did, but it is nice to know they have good customer
service.
Here's a link to the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A72UR7M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
what a crock.
i received my kay case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZNBI2M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and it was identical to iblason:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y0ZZD4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I mean identical in every way. Even the insert they gave. Both are unbranded black cases.
Do not buy this case thinking it might be an alternative to the iblason.
IDENTICAL
I am looking for a clear shield just for the back. Can anyone suggest anything?

i bought one of these in black. not bad. i dont really like the way the official bumper fits on the phone so this will do until a nicer tpu one comes out.

AW: Diztronic soft TPU case review
Thanks for the review. Case lools really great. I will order one. Actually i had a TPU case from mumbi at Amazon. But the case looks not so good.
..... from my Nexus 4 .....
Honestly, I'm not sure why this case is not more popular. As far as TPU cases go this is the one of the better(if not the best) case I've seen. The inside has a felt like material that protects/cushions the phone back(the glass part ). Its similar to the new Body Glove case but its a bit sleeker and better looking(no stormtrooper look here). High quality design and materials. Bump for a great product. Great price too.
Also has anyone used this case with the Orb? Any issues with charging with the case on?
My favorite case, also purchased the mybat case, but prefer the diztronic. Provides enough protection and good grip.

I was just about to checkout and saw there was a discount code field, after a quick Google search for a code, this thread popped up with your post. I saved ~$1.95, not much, but it adds up over time!
I had one of these for my Galaxy Nexus and loved it. I just got one for my Nexus 4 and was a little disappointed. The on/off and volume buttons seem to need a little harder push than it did when naked or with the bumper case that came with it. On a good note, the Zens charger I got today seems to work just fine with the case on. I will find out how well tonight when I charge it.
One more thing, the data/charging cable I use in my car that worked fine on the Gnex, does not work in the Nexus 4 case as the cut out is two small. I can swap out the cable with a thinner one so that's no big deal.

Nexus 6P Card Slot case?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but searching yielded nothing. Anyways, I was curious if anybody has come across a case like this for the Nexus 6P: http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Verus-Damda-Slide-Yellow/dp/B00M9UBR7Y or even one with just a simple pouch on the back that's capable of hanging on to a few cards securely.
The only wallets I can find are the flip cases with a front cover and I just hate those.
I am interested in finding one as well!.

It's a good case for the price. But mine got yellow-ish tint and it is 7 months old now. It's plastic so it's expected I guess. I have a Verus case for backup (it bulks already big device quite a lot in my opinion - that's why it's backup)
Mine also had some yellow after a while, but still like the feel...

Bought the 3 pack, arrived quickly and in good shape. I changed the back cover from silver to black a few months back, now I'm regretting it. This case looks amazing with a silver phone from what I can see with the pictures posted in this thread. Black, not much, but still fitment is good. It does cut into my pinky with the way I hold the phone, but whatever. It was 6 bucks, lol.
