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.

Hard to tell for sure, but it looks the same and it comes from AZ like mine did.

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.

at first look, this $35 otterbox looks very similar to the cheapo $5 ones that's selling everywhere. i'm sure the quality is much better but is it $35 better as the protection is still 2 piece? im curious to see feedback from those who ordered
Its quality over plastic.

Just got mine in. Looks great will post some pics tomorrow.
This is only the second otterbox I have had. The first was a defender for the 3gs. This commuter case is well built and feels and looks great. The only problem I ran into was the first silicone layer was getting pinched at the corner when I was trying to put the outter cover snapped in place. After a few attempts finally got it on and so far so good. Def worth the wait and money.

Is the back made mostly of silicone or hard plastic? Please tell me it doesn't stick to the inside of your pocket!

The back is mostly hard plastic. The only silicone will be at the headphone jack, power button, charging port, and the largest part is volume rocker. The plastic has a great design/look to it. You wont be disappointed. Should be getting some pics up a little later.

Just got mine in. I ordered the smoked one. Kind of regret getting a see through one because it has the same issue as all see through TPU cases which is the whole "trapped water" effect on the back. Fitment is good though and all the cutouts line up. Overall I'm satisfied with it but my ringke slim is probably my favorite case thus far.

Theres nothing around!! They're just sleeves lol! :crying: Anybody know off any good cases that are out in the UK to use meanwhile. So far the options are bad, and I don't want to use a naked phone lol.
Hardly anything in the UK.
I'm waiting for the S gel cases to appear, it's bound to happen before one from China would arrive for me.
In the mean time I guess I'll just keep it in a sock/pouch type thing I have lying around.
Mobilefun are showing 3 dedicated cases , but these are NOT released yet , probably be soon though.
They have the genuine Nexus 4 bumper and 2 FlexiShield Skin cases here:-
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Nexus-4-Cases.htm
Luckily it's almost the exact same size as the GNex so slides nicely into my old PDair case, might get a bumper but I'd like to see one first
Better off going online to find a case. High st retailers have a bad selection of cases.
There is a an s case available from in the UK now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-Case-Cover-Nexus-4-LG-E960-/121022906472?var= they also have some 3 ply screen protectors. I had ordered an s vase from China but have got one of these coming now

Flexishield
I need something until the official bumper turns up (damn! this phone is slippery) so I've ordered the black Flexishield from Mobilefun and will report back with my opinion.
S-Line case is very nice for the N4. Very grippy and looks good too. However, if you're buying this expecting it to prevent scratches on the back, don't. I have 3 or 4 fine scratches at the top of the rear glass after taking the phone out of the case. I'm sure it would help with shattering if it fell, but it seems to have caused a few scratches on the back :/ They're only visible at a certain angle but there are quite a few of them.
Nevertheless, they're just fine scratches and definitely nothing to cry about. I'm going to continue using the case!
I got my S line case a couple of days ago, for 99p including delivery to (and from) the UK - it was 2 days, it's rather great! Grippy, comfortable, not bulky and not scratching the phone either.

Ionic Guardian + Spigen screen prot.
Well we (in the UK) can pre-order the ionic guardian ... which I think I'm going to do so my phone can hopefully take a few knocks (shame about no otterbox) ... and combine it with the spigen screen protector, just can't choose between oleophobic and ultra crystal ....
Edit: I can't post links but if you chcek amazon (uk) they are on there...
Anyone got a better/more protective set up that we can get here? .... I'm guessing there'll be a new wave of people in the UK looking into cases now that we were able to order again today (I luckily managed to get in on the 1-2 weeks but aren't counting my chickens till I get a shipping email)

This is pretty ridiculous now...I ordered a bumper on 13th November!! Over 3 weeks later and it's still pending...Google Play support phone operators don't have any useful information about it...has anyone here gotten one of these yet from Google UK??
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

Nov 30 availability. ;-(
I've been rocking the Ringke Fusion on my N4 for about 2.5 years now. Great case. Although I'm now hoping they release a version for the 6p with a solid black bumper + clear/smoke back. I don't like the clear bumper style they also carry, just looks a bit tacky to me.

I always found the N4 one to be ridiculously fat. The polycarbonate layer adds like 3mm easily to an N4 which wasn't that thin in its generation.

Yeah it does, but stylistically I prefer it; exposure in the back, protection on the sides. Its simply the clear sides that i dont like. We'll see. Might just go for one of the Adopted cases for now. Ringke cases are cheap enough that i wont mind switching later. Hopefully they will be thinner than the old N4 one though :S.
I've used them on the N6, note 4, and xperia Z3, and they have all been beautifully thin. some of the thinnest cases I have ever used. and they have even survived drops on cement floors in places like walmart and lowe's lol. i never tried the one on the nexus 4 so i can't compare.
of course I am talking ONLY the Ringke fusion. I have never tried any of their other style of cases but i hear they aren't as good.
Bleh they just emailed me telling me they won't meet their Oct 30th ship date. Looks like Nov 30th is the real date now. The thing that bugs me about this is that they decided to mark it as shipped so they get the money then they emailed me. I guess I will have to get a cheap TPU case or something in the meantime while I wait.

Hope so! The fusion was my favorite N6 case. Tested over 10 cases before settling on it too.
I get the feeling that so many manufacturers used leaked images to base their designs on, and next thing you know... SURPRISE! Laser rangefinder. Back to the drawing board.

It's back on Amazon with 11/30 as the ship date
So I emailed them asking if they were going to sell the case still or what. They told me they are trying to resolve issues with their manufacturer. In response to that I asked if it was worth putting in an order and this is what they said:
"Honestly, I would wait to avoid complications. We know that we are keeping the original in stock day of November 30th so far. So I would say place your order closer to the beginning of November. I hope that this information helped."
