Where to buy official bumper - Nexus 4 Accessories

I picked up a used but mint original bumper from eBay shortly after i first got my Nexus 4 last September. It was fine up to August this year but then it developed a crack near the charging port.
I replaced it with another supposedly original, which turned out to be a copy, and that lasted 2 weeks before it cracked in the same place, and it scratched the bezel as it was poorly finished!
Does anyone know where i can source a genuine bumper? I know there are others such as the Ringke, but i was happy with the genuine official bumper, it's just that they are like hens teeth to find.

Cases!

All i see are pouch and folio type of cases, hoping more choices come out soon.
What i miss is the black $10 TPU case w/ kickstand i got on eBay for my original Tab - i wish there was an identical one for the 7 Plus. It won't fit the 7 Plus as the 7 Plus is slightly longer. Thinner is nice w/ the 7 Plus, but I feel like i can more easily lose grip of it compared to the original Tab.
I have a few kickstand accessories i got for my old Tab, but they're not as convenient as a little fold out stand that comes out of the case it's always in.
For now, i took some carbon fiber vinyl covering i had left over from covering my laptop and covered the back of the Tab, then i shaved the back off an extra case i had for my Droid RAZR and stuck it to the back of the 7 Plus w/ double-sided automotive tape. So now i have a kickstand that folds out of the back of it.
The RooCase people inform me that they will have a pretty nice case out for our GTab 7+ around the end of December exactly modeled after the A100 case. Had one for the A100 and it was quite nice. Functional and well-built. The Executive Portfolio model here. Leather is good and the screen frame is securely velcroed. Got it for about $35. I plan on snagging one.

Poetic case is good for the price http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DKEUL6
Update: woops sorry i didnt realize that you werent looking for folio cases. Anyway, i ordered a skinomi black carbon fiber protection made for this tab. Unfortunately, i havent received the item yet after 2 weeks of waiting. Im having a very bad experience wit them right now. 3 days after i ordered i made a followup, they told me that they had just processed and shipped my order. I was thinking if i hadnt emailed them, they wouldve neglected my order. Anyway, benefit of the doubt, fine. I waited 10 days nothing was happening on the tracking number. I emailed again earlier to followup and voila! The shiiping just started! What the hell is wrong with those people!

Mine just arrived. I put it on and it's setting. If I have time tonight, I'll post more thoughts and pics.
Got my poetic case last night. i'll put pics up today after i get off of work, but i like it. It has cutouts for nearly everything. The only piece that does not have a cutout is the IR transmitter which is easy enough to fix. It has a nice magnetic closure, and the flap to hold the tablet in has velcro which my similar case for the transformer did not have. All cutouts line up reasonably well, the front microphone and camera are not perfectly centered, but that can be attributed to how far i shoved the tab into the case.
Overall i rate it 8/10, its going to be the case I use for the foreseeable forture, the price is great, and the shipping was fast.
(will add pics later today)

Yeah my issue with Skinomi was resolved by their manager. Anyway, the carbon fiber skin looks great and the screen protector is smooth. There's a little bit of protruding skin on all 4 corners because they only designed two pieces for the sides that go from top center to bottom center (left and right pieces). It's not a big deal actually but the pointed corners poke my skin sometimes.
It's a folio case, but I'm interested in seeing more about this incipio T-mo offers: http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones...-phone=Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-7.0-Plus-4G-Prepaid
I'm glad I found this thread. I've been looking for a case too. I heard back from otterbox CS and they said they have no plans on making a case for the 7+. I'm waiting to hear back from case mate.

!!!CHECK TWO POSTS BACK FOR tHE LINK, NEW POSTER AND CAN'T POST LINKS YET!!!
Also VERY interested in T-Mobile's Incipio folio case. I have looked at the limited number of cases currently available and they all look pretty bulky. Especially since one of the main features of the Galaxy 7 Plus is how incredibly thin it is. The Incipio case looks pretty thin and form-factor (from what I can tell.
Anyone have experience or seen this case in person??? I have called a number of T-Mobile store here in NYC and none carry the case (most don't even have the Galaxy 7 Plus at all).
Thanks!

Cases
I have been searching for cases for days, and i got my + relatively early. Just so you guys know, many of the folio cases for the original Gtab will fit the +. However cutouts will be incorrect for headphone jack, IR, and camera a bit offcenter. I hate folio cases and just want a plastic/gel snap on for the back w kickstand.
I purchased the T-Mobile Incipio case and it fits great. It was a little pricey at $50.00 but there werent many options. They were having a "buy two accessories get the third one free" promotion so I also bought the screen protector and an extra charging cable.

Any chance you could post a few pictures of your tab in the case? None of the T-Mobile stores in my area have it, so I need to get it online. I'd really like at least a semi-decent look at what I'm getting before I pull the trigger and purchase one.
I think its a good fit. The sim card slot and sd card slot are covered but I rarely need access to them.

Nexus 4 Cases - UK

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.

It is a ridiculous situation for a piece of injection moulded plastic that must cost less than a pound to manufacture.

I have the Bumper on order but am getting by with an S- line case and a pouch. I'm preferring the pouch though as the S- line, although grippy, feels woefully cheap.

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)

I ordered one from ebay for $2, should be here whenever the boat arrives from china.
Seen those before too, looks just like the other S curve cases all over ebay and amazon for the N4.
I almost ordered one of these. I hate the S Curves, but I ended up ordering a third party bumper I found in one of the other threads by Poetic.

When does that bumper ship?
The ones I've seen were estimated ship date of late december, with awful chinese shipping times of like 14 days on top of that.
That's a lot of naked time.
Poetic bumpers do not ship until Dec 30th.. might as well wait for google
To battle with everyone trying to get one. I'll pass. Plus the Poetic looks like it lifts more from the phone than the Google bumper for more protection.
Sent from Xylon'd Nexus 4
This appears to be the case that Poetic sent me as recompense for not having my hard case done yet. So far, it's a pretty decent case. A little slippery on the matte portions, however. And it's not as clean and tight a fit as I'd like (I notice it bowing a bit near the volume rocker). Worth the price (free) that I paid for it, however.

[Q] my neo hybrid frame broke

I was so happy with the case it's nicest looking and sleek looking case for the S4.
The white frame I got bottom next to charging port just broke.
I emailed spigen hopefully they will replace it for me I asked if they could replace it with champagne gold color as I am not happy that after 1 month this thing just broke.
Did anyone else have same issue with the case? also I bought invisible shield HD didn't yet apply will it work good with the case? thanks guys.
mine broke as well

If true, for SGP not to honor the warranty, if the case is:
"Sold by Spigen Inc and Fulfilled by Amazon"
Is as flimsy as the Neo Hybrid case is.....

I've heard about this SPG policy re: Amazon before.
Didn't know if it was 100% true.
I've dealt with Amazon for quite a while, and this SPG policy is the first, if not the only time I've heard of an OEM not honoring a warranty when they themselves are selling their products on Amazon.
I had purchased the Hybrid from Amazon and returned it 2 days later because even though the styling and look of the case was nice and aesthetically pleasing, the neoprene stretched out near the stock battery and the case itself was as flimsy as I've ever seen in any case I've owned.
The return fell under the 30 day Amazon Return Policy, so I didn't have to deal with the non warranty policy from SPG.

I had 2 of them that broke. I just ordered a new one from Amazon and I will return the broken one. Their support wont respond to your emails. I have a friend that has a newer neo and it looks like they fixed the area around the charger so it wont break as easy.
Have mine since 2 months.i always take the case off with the frame on it,anyway i only take it off if i really need to,maybe 7 times in this 2 months

Anyone selling their bumper case?

Just got my Moto X 2014, but it seems like it's almost impossible to find a bumper case (without back so I can admire my leather ). Anyone looking to sell their bumper case?
Check Casemate. I got mine about a week ago. I used coupon code rmn15 for 15% off. Came out $15 shipped.
I got the chalk one to match the front of mine. I like it, but the only issue I have is the corners are picking up the dye from my jeans - but it wipes off.
Casemate also sells clear cases so your phone is protected and you can still see the back.
