Bumper Defect?

I had my bumper off my phone while I was having ghost armor installed on it, the bumper was in my pocket and I tend to be one of those people who fiddles with things in their pocket while they wait.
I was just pushing on it lightly, when I realized that the hard plastic easily came apart from the rubber. I thought maybe I just pushed too hard, but when I started inspecting it around the sides, I realized that there were many spots where it would happen with very little force.
Is this supposed to happen or is it some sort of defect in my bumper?

I don't think it's meant to be separable but you might want to email Google support. They can probably answer this question better than XDA members imo.

That was the first thing I did. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else had this happen as well.

Judging from this bumper unboxing/review... it's supposed to be like that

Most bumpers are 2 parts

Mine does the same thing around some areas of the bumper.

EDIT: I don't think it can come all the way apart, there is glue holding parts of the bumper.

My bumper is the same...its perfectly normal.

Cheap but good Armor Case

it has great reviews and its on sale for 4 bucks. might as well order it, i did.
its very similar to the ionic case but half the price, and apparently just as good

Looks like a good case but I don't see a cut-out for the speaker?

thats what i thought at first because of the picture but looking through the reviews i found that it does actually have one and it lines up well. heres the review look in the comments http://www.amazon.com/review/R20DM9...AAKM44K&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag=#wasThisHelpful

Same thing, different branding.. pretty sure..

Ooh yeah! lol.... :silly:

I Just received my: Exact(TM) Armor Case for Google Nexus 4 Smart Phone Black (Amazon.com). It fits great with openings for speaker and both microphones. I already have a collection of tpu cases and Google's Bumper. At just a little under $8 shipped it can't be beat!

Received this case as well. I paid $4 and amazon prime upgraded me to one day shipping to avoid the snowstorm. I LOVE this case! Better than me Otterbox commuter case and also better than the ballistic I used to use. For the price this is a no brainer. Also I have not found this case slippery. The grips on the back catch my fingers. This will be my daily.

Those corner bumpers look like they would provide great protection. Might pick one of these up, just wish the back wasn't so damn ugly.

I just got mine on Friday all I can say is that this is the best 4 bucks I've spent. The case is firm the only problem is that it tries to peel off my screen protector on the side where the proximity sensor is but other than that, this case is very close to what ballistic will be offering

This was $3.95 when I ordered it and I have prime so the shipping was free, now it's $5.95.

Looks like good protection but damn it looks thick!

Got mine today, looks and feels much better than I expected and darn good quality. Definitely will do the job. Will have to see how it lines up with my screen protector.

coming soon for pre-order! Cruzerlite nexus 4 case!

Even though I haven't received my nexus 4 yet, ill be pre-ordering one of these. Anyone else going to get one?
http://phandroid.com/2012/12/22/cruzerlite-gives-us-a-sneak-peak-at-awesome-upcoming-nexus-4-case/

looks hot..lets see how much they ask for it

aw man...kinda makes me regret getting the diztronic case...lol

I came.

I said this on phandroid hoping to get a reply from Joel, but I'll say it here too. It kinda looks like the backplate is removable. Wouldn't that be cool? A bumper case with backplates that are interchangeable. I'd be all over it. Cruzerlite make great cases and their prices are very reasonable. Can't wait for the preorder on this.

Wow nice back, different from the rest of them.

That hasn't stopped me lol....I ordered the xda case as well lol. That'll be my first cruzer case . I never tried them and seen them on other devices and seem good for the cash and a lot of peeps like em. That new "teaser" case looks nice as well, but if the XDA renders on the site are true to form, I'd be happy with that.

Already posted in the big Cruzerlite thread.

Don't care for the company's name dead spot on and how big it is..yes we get it you want to advertise your name..but I'm sure your customers wouldn't mind telling where they got it if they were asked.

but now that I received my diztronic case today, kinda makes me regret saying that lol. the case feels great! If the fit is the same as diztronic, I'll stick to diztronic & will get the cruzerlite (the one on this thread) only when there's a sale :fingers-crossed:

Ringke fusion?

I ordered this case from eBay for thirteen bucks since the Google ones were not available. I had one on my n4 and liked it. Have used otter box in the past and some no name tpu's before. Never tried a bumper either. Is there any others you'd recommend?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

thats the one I was thinking of getting. I was going to get the grey one for a white n5 but then thought the sides are black anyway so decided on the black in the end. Nice looking case hope it gives the protection as well as the looks.

I'm torn as well I want something clear I want the Nexus logo visible and also I do not want to pay 34.99 for googles case

Right, I don't want to have it naked just in case. I've had good luck with the fusion plus its cheap. Idk about those flip cases, they look nice but for forty or fifty I'd rather not.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Iv never used a flip case but I have always thought that the novelty of flipping over the cover to activate the screen will wear thin quickly and having to deal with the flappy front when open will be far more annoying than any practical use it will make up for.

Next time please post in accessories

Cases are limited at this time as you'd expect, so I picked up a spigen ultra fit in the meantime for 20 bucks. But planning on getting Otterbox when available.
