I know. I'm hoping my Nexus will get here in the next couple days, but I didn't order the official bumper when I had the chance, and now it looks like I won't get any (would rather go naked than hide that beautiful rear end lol)

nvm was late

I might as well wait for the official bumper to be on sale again until the end of the month since the Poetic one won't ship till then.

Plus the poetic looks like there is a gray part on the back side that the Google one doesn't. I have the Google one and it is VERY nice

Actually, I think the Poetic one has more appeal thanks to price, not availibility If I wanted to spend $20 to protect my phone, Id rather get a full case. $5 to offer small protection while still showing off the beautiful back is two thumbs up and a customer
(Keep in mind I also bought xtremeguard screen protector+skin so I am fully protected)

You have a point of the price... In my eyes the Google one just looks better.

To each his own, I agree the Google one looks better (that metal-like design is very nice), but the Poetic one still has some flare

I ordered one but will ordered the official when it becomes official. $6 is negligible.

I'm really surprised no one had had a bumper case out yet since there are a ton of cases. I think I'll try it for 5 bucks.

I was going to order one just to see, but then I noticed the in-stock date. Ehh, maybe I'll wait to see if Google's offering comes back in stock before then.

I'll be purchasing both.

"Google" branded desktop stand for Nexus 4

I just spent 3 days at an annual client conference with our Google support team. Every year the Google reps bring cool swag for us to give away. This year they had these branded phone/tablet stands. As you'd probably guess they went like hot cakes but I made sure to snag a couple before the crowds had their pick. The design is extremely simple but works perfectly. One of the Google reps and myself spent some of our down time trying to see how much weight these things could handle. We were surprised to see how well it held up with 10lb objects.
It works perfectly with every phone we tried as well as the Nexus 7 and an iPad. I never thought I'd use a desktop stand but this works so well that I'll definitely use it at the office.
Anyway, here are some pics...

Oh, and for the record, even the Google reps were jealous that I got my hands on a Nexus 4. So feel special because this go around even the Google employees didn't get one. :highfive:

Cool. A drag that it's not available to everyone.

They were actually surprised when I told them that people would probably pay for these. I told them they should throw them up on the Google Play Store but they didn't think there would be any real demand.

That's nice me like

I totally want one of these!

Wow that is really awesome. I've been looking for a nice desk stand and that looks perfect.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Tons of companies were giving out this at CES. Obviously with a different brand name on it. There's a couple different ones, this style white/blue with the triangle style folding, also there's a more simple gray/black one that the stand rotates 360 onto itself so it's flat, I got that one.
I'm sure you can find these dang cheap on eBay.

Not to pooh pooh the excitement but these stands are pretty standard giveaways in the promotional swag world. I've got one myself but not "branded" with Google on it.

It's funny you should mention that. I was at a party a couple of weeks ago and this guy there was telling me he works at Google doing some Android stuff, so I pull out my phone. Then we head a super geek moment, talking Android and the Nexus 4, and he was saying how pretty much nobody at Google that he knows has the Nexus 4 and he has only seen his supervisor with one.

Nice review! The best thing about this review is the fact that it looks so professional (cams without shake!) and details that went into it.
But I am not so sure about the Poetic's case in comparison with Google's case....

Nice review, and nice bumpercase. I like the more monochrome look of this bumper related to the 'original' N4 bumper. I left a comment on YouTube and liked FB .
EDIT: why only open for US and Canada? It is not so hard to ship one of these to The Netherlands

Nice review. I have the same case/bumper. It works well. I did order a tougher seidio active case though. I just need more protection than this offers.
I think poetic should make a removable back for this bumper that pops in and matches the rest. Would be really nice if they did it right. I thought about sending them an email but whatever.

Not crazy about the price but that one with the blue siding looks sick!

I've been.looking at the blue one. I decided it was worth the price. I paid $30 for neo hybrid and it feels good on phone but outside phone it feels cheap and it ain't gonna give me any protection and this one looks awesome.

Placed one on order. I originally ordered the Spigen Slim armor, but I feel this one will protect better. Also prefer the larger lip up front. Ill update with my experience when it comes in. Thanks for the link/info OP.

it looks nice, but if it's the same size as an otter, and the otter is rated for higher drops, why not just get an otter?

3M and face down drop, i'am definitely getting this one

Ordered from Cygnett last night, Shipping confirmation today.

Ordered the orange. Was torn between this and the Slim Armor but I feel that in the event of a drop, this one is going to offer the most protection out of the two and I'm a bit wary of the Slim Armor and the button issues I've seen mentioned a few times. I'll keep an eye out for more posts on that issue and maybe get a Slim Armor down the road.
So who's going to post a review of them dropping their phone from 10 feet to see if it protects as advertised?

Ok I bit on the orange. I am hoping not to buy 20 cases like I did on the GS3.
I want protective, grippy, good buttons, not too big, and looks nice. This should do the trick.

Slickwraps Skins

Seeing as Dbrand has their own thread I decided to show SW some love. I've been using their skins since 2013 when I got my Nexus 5. Ice tried other competitors but they're my to go for skins. Alright guys they're going to be going up for sale soon. Right now they mentioned only about 50% of their skins are up. Post your pictures in this thread!

I want to try the Galactic skin for the 6P but will probably give a few others a go too at some point. Personally I like both dbrand and slickwraps but I think at the minute slickwraps have the edge as far as variety and choice for sure.

Yes they have said everything will be available right away, that they have tested the skins and are releasing them this week (I think for immediate shipment so not a pre-order, they said they don't do those).
Source for all that was this forum and their twitter account.

Thanks for your sarcasm. I've owned both and I was voicing my opinion if you don't like it then that's not my issue. I wrote an OP that detailed both companies skins so before you complain why don't you read it and understand why I commented in the first place.
Edit: just to be clear I don't see an issue with expressing an opinion which is what XDA is for. I like both companies skins and own many of them...

They do have people looking for unlicensed use of their properties around the clock but its a big world and it can take them a while to catch up to things like this, when they do they will act. As an example they eventually caught up to the local grocery store for putting those likenesses on birthday cakes. Not a chain store, just a local grocery store.

Well, the question is if and what licensed content are they using? They dont use term "Star Wars" anywhere, they call it Galactic series, and the image of Stormtrooper (which I am not sure if is licensed) is changed/modified to some degree. So what are they doing illegaly?
