I have the nexus 4 bumper case, but has anyone had any bad experiences with the product. I have recently brought the bumper case and when I dropped it face down (luckily on carpet) the phone came out of its case and if I'm right on impact this would ruin the screen. But can anyone tell me if its positively durable or feeble.

Not a fan. The silicone is flimsy and our doesn't really cover the lip of the phone that well. Horrible case imo

It's a minimal dual layer, I have one for my gs3, as well as an otterbox. The otterbox has more protection but you gain mass and heft. I like the incipio because it is slim but still offers good protection
I actually had this one on my phone and was paying for it in the store but I scrubbed the purchase before I could even check out. I think it looks really nice and will probably give good drop protection, but the flimsy silicone would drive me crazy. When you push the side buttons the silicone would buckle. The silicone in the top and bottom didn't fit snugly. JMO. Like I said I looked the way it looked. It was the brushed aluminum dual pro shine with black silicone. Just not snug enough of a fit for me.

I have had this case on my S4 since I got the phone thru verizon, about 10 days . Black on black. I wanted a slim case with decent drop protection. This was a good compromise. The soft inner core does over lap on to the front of the screen a bit, wich is good as I can lay the phone face down without damaging the screen. The soft rubber inner core does attract lint where it is exposed, but I expected that.
so far I am happy with the case. But, I have not dropped it .....yet...:laugh:

Hi Guys,
Do you think thr bumper case for Nexus 4 is good compare to full back case ?
I am currently using Capdase Touch case as shown on the link
http://www.capdase.com/en/product5.php?cid=1&bid=23&mid=3737&pid=34328
However i really love the looks og nexus 4 and dont want to cover the beauty but i also want to protect the device.
To the nexus 4 users who have this dumper case, pls give your comment.
Thanks.

as far as i know a case weakens the signal.
Bumper + dbrand skin ftw :good:
Well a bumper will pretty much just protect the screen and back from laying flat on the ground and a full back case will protect from falls. If you want a little more protection I recommend the full back case

Ringke fusion sounds like the way to go for you. I have both. I am currently on the bumper and dbrand custom skin setup.
I also have the ringke fusion and its good.

This is false.
what is the lightest case for our n4? i have a nillkin frosted case but it added a significant weight to it. so significant that i strained my pinky that supports the phone when i hold it with one hand. i would go naked but i place my phone on the table often so i want to protect it atleast from scratches at the back glass. thanks

I can say Poetic Borderline.
Rearth Slim or Hybrid.
Definitely Rearth Slim...
Get a dbrand skin protects the back from all kinds of scratches.

This works great. However, in my case it eventually started to peel just enough to about me. So I put my bunker back on also so there's no way to peel at the edges.

as of right now I'm using the ringke fusion case but I'm not liking the bulky size, how easily broken is the back when it comes to bumper plus the skin for antiscratch or suck it up and use the case?
also can anyone recommend thinner case for the n4?

If you want true see through case you only have the rinkle and the bumper
If your not looking for true see through look for some transparent tpu cases out this plastic ones

I have the black leather d band skin and a poetic black bumper. Looks great. Prevents scratches. I rarely drop my phone, and when I have I felt the bumper defiantly helped from scuffing up the sides. I hate cases. Hopefully the n5 will not be do fragile, so in can go naked like I normally do.

all though the bumper will add width to the device.. if you have small hands it might be an issue, like it did for me lol. Ive been wanting to try the poetic bumper but cant seem to find on amazon nor ebay, the color i want that is.
Also, the back is not drop protected with the dbrand skin, even tho you wont see it if its cracked either. So its a win win

Hello, I have a Nexus 5 black version.
The phone is great but I have scratches in the rubber material. Can I repair it? I tried to paint the spot with matte black but I can see the difference.
Thank you.
You can't repair it. But you can cover it with a skin...

Anyone know if you can just rub the rubber coat off? I might consider that in the future if my N5 gets scratched up pretty bad.

You can always buy a brand new "OEM" back cover for about $30. Check online and see.
