My second, non-genuine, (although sold as genuine ), bumper case, has split in a few places, and as I'm not ready to replace the handset yet, I thought I'd try and locate a genuine replacement. Expansys are selling them via Ebay for £5.99 delivered, but I checked Expansys direct and they are selling them for £4.99 delivered, so guess where I ordered it from? These things are getting as rare as hen's teeth!

Did you get it? How's it?
I'm got one from eBay and using it since 3-4 months. It's still holding up good :good:
I haven't received it yet. I'll update the thread when I do. My first original lasted about 6 months but the non genuine one only lasted a month before it split. Hoping this fairs better.

Bumper arrived today. It is genuine, it has an official hologram on the back of the case like my first one. My Nexus looks like new again. I just hope it lasts as long as the last one.

I've ordered from them before. Placed my order last night at 1am and they told me it was already packed and shipped Had a similar case from them for my mytouch 4g and loved it! Great customer service too!
I ordered the same exact case on ebay a little cheaper but that one is shipping from Hong Kong. This one ships from Cali I think.

Yea I wish I saw this thread first too. Ordered one black one from ebay seller from Hong Kong 2 days ago. So I too ended up ordering a spare from the link. Thanks!
Ordered the black one. Should be here tomorrow or Monday.
excellent seller i might add i order all my tpu cases from him and they come in like 2 days. i ordered the black one.
I use this case, and it´s very nice, thin but safe.
Only major thing: it´s very hard to press the "power button" - so actually, I would not buy this case again and am looking for something else.

I agree, it looks kind of cheap looking for $13 price tag. I hope Google gets off its ass and start making these Bumpers available. They also need to start contacting companies to get some cases on the market. If they are going to keep running out of Bumpers and we have very limited options, they BETTER expect lots of cracked Nexus 4's coming back to their replacement warehouse. There is no reason for a company like this to have such a poor E-Commerce practice. It's absolutely ridiculous.

+$3.98 shipping for me... booooooo
I haven't gotten the clear case I ordered yet from them, but I can vouch for their customer service.
I preordered the clear case and received a package from them late last week. It had an S case in it.
The clear cases have taken a little longer to manufacture, so they sent me a free S case to make sure my phone is protected until the clear case is in stock.
Note: I ordered the clear case, not the smoked clear. Looks like they took the clear option off of Amazon temporarily.
Yea I ordered it Friday I think its shipping today I'll post some pics when I get it ...didn't notice the back saying Kay's case till after Lol :/

I have their S- line type case on my nexus 4 right now, I know it isn't the same case, but very similar. TBO it looks like the same one that is selling on Ebay from China for less.
I considered buying one off Ebay, but glad I didn't because they sent me a black case when I ordered a clear one. I messaged them and they are sending me the clear one I ordered free of charge. I know it is rare to have an issue like I did, but it is nice to know they have good customer
service.
Here's a link to the one I ordered:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A72UR7M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
what a crock.
i received my kay case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ZNBI2M/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and it was identical to iblason:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009Y0ZZD4/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00
I mean identical in every way. Even the insert they gave. Both are unbranded black cases.
Do not buy this case thinking it might be an alternative to the iblason.
IDENTICAL
I am looking for a clear shield just for the back. Can anyone suggest anything?
sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my shiny new Nexus 4!
i bought one of these in black. not bad. i dont really like the way the official bumper fits on the phone so this will do until a nicer tpu one comes out.
Got mine yesterday. I like it but it peels up the corners of my Xtremeguard protector. I'm gonna try a thinner protector with it.
Hello, I hope you are doing well.
I know hundreds of members here recently purchased the Google LG Nexus 4 phone, and many people are still hunting for a case. After hours of research, I have personally determined that the best protective case currently available is the Ballistic Shell Gel (OtterBox and Lifeproof have no plans to make cases for this phone).
This case comes in either black/black color or black/pink color. The official Ballistic website offers this case for $34.95 plus shipping (source), and the black/black ran out of stock within hours of being available.
Fortunately, TheCellGuru.com offers this case for just $18.96 (here), and shipping prices start at $1.99 (for the 48 lower US states), making the final price $20.95.

Great case and great deal! Received mine last Saturday straight from Ballistic. Was too impatient to wait for a good deal. I paid $37 shipped. It's a great investment to protect the Nexus 4. Highly recommended!

hey.. im really looking for a rugged hybrid case like the one you are offering.
do you guys ship internationally as well ? like other than US UK and Canada. I wanted to know if it was possible to ship to the middle east or India, preferably the middle east.
I want to get one but they are out of stock need it for work and am so scared right now this phone is super slippery lol

It looks like this just ran out of stock at TheCellGuru.com, but the official Website now has these in stock again for $34.99 here. Use 20% off coupon code ALL4LOVE to make it slightly cheaper, though still not as cheap as the original deal I posted.
Hope this helps,

I ordered one last friday from him and was surprised that I didn't hear one peep from him about the sale. I sent him a note yesterday and he just said that the listing had already told me that the item would ship three days after payment was received and they'd send me a tracking number when they shipped it. I've never bought anything from good sellers on Ebay where I didn't get at least some kind of note immediately after I paid for an item at least acknowledging they'd taken my money. And a terse and rude reply as well. The guy I buy my skintomi gear from emails me seconds after i pay him and ships the same day sometimes. I won't be ordering anything else from thecellguru, and I wonder just how long it's going to take the ballistic case to get here.
Ordered mine through CNB Deals on ebay here. Hoping all goes well, as I also never rec'd an email after I paid with pay-pal. Hoping I get a tracking number soon!
I wish Ballistic kept they're Amazon store stocked, since I have Prime it would've been a no brainer to do the free 2 day shipping and pay the full $35 and be done with it.
Hot DAMN it's $55 shipped across the pond!! No USPS first class? Disappointing.
Some guy's selling it on ebay with cheaper shipping... still $43 though. Might just go for the Ionic Guardian.
$26 shipped

I bought one from the cellguru guy when they were in stock last weekend, but got an email today saying they'd run out. Stating dispatch ~end of Feb. But when out of stock, delivery is anyone's guess.

Will update when I receive it. If I knew it was going to be that slow I would have ordered directly or bought the Rearth Fusion Hybrid.

I apologize for the delay. I posted this deal in three forums - here, SlickDeals, and FatWallet - so TheCellGuru was likely swamped with hundreds of orders at the same time.

well they both look like original to me. i paid 19.99 from the google play store for mine way back when they were available from google.
Bought the bumper from the same vendor for 10.99. The first month bumper scrubbed, and when I received it was packaged as new, but there were minor scratches.
Packaging was with the logo of LG ... I do not know if it is genuine or not, but the quality is beneath criticism.

Anyone know where to buy the Samsung book cover in the UK for the 10.5 tab? Thanks.
only place I've seen it is expansys and mobilefun. Both were out of stock as of yesterday with possible stock arriving today. None of the retailers have it in who are selling the tab s - john lewis, currys, cpw, three. Very poor. I don't understand why a premium product is released with no cases available.

Ordered the brown and it has just arrived. Really nice very good quality and the brown goes well with the titanium bronze.
Mine arrived yesterday. Colour looks great, suits the bronze tab. My only issues with it is the suede-like material on the inner side. It doesnt feel too hard wearing. As this part of the case makes the most contact with surfaces whilst the tablet is in standing-mode, it might be vulnerable to staining and discolouration. The other issue relates to the rather cumbersome procedure to open and close the tablet. It is very similar to opening an envelope...always flap first, then flip open front. I kind of wish it could be just flipped open in one go, like a regular book cover. I know Samsung produced a version like this, but it does not have stand facilities ?
