Where to Buy Bumper in Toronto Canada

Anyone know where to purchase the official bumper in the GTA? I would prefer to buy it at a store and not from Google Play as it costs almost 35 dollars with shipping and taxes. Thanks

Hello my fellow Canadian,
I live down in London and was in the same boat as you. Everywhere I went it was either sold out or they didn't have it. Your only chance is to buy it online. You can check out futureshop or best buy, they have it on there for 24.99 with free shipping I think but they only have the black one. Ebay and amazon is another method but don't know about the shopping cost. Www.Puremobile.ca is another site but I think they might be still sold out. You could also check those Wind stands in the mall, I went to one of them before but they were sold out.
I ended up getting my white (they have the black one also) OEM Bumper from www.blueshop.ca. It was Free shipping just had to pay the tax, came in 2 days.
Don't know where other members got their bumper from.
Hope this helps and Happy Hunting .

Thanks my Canadian Friend! Hopefully I can get one at Wind. BTW, what are your experiences with the bumper? Good or bad?

I actually just got it in the mail a couple of days ago, I was using the Rearth Ringke Fusion case for a while and then the Spigen ultra slim one for a bit. So far the bumper is great. There have been various reports that the bumper's aluminum finish that goes around it cracks at the bottom near the USB port. There are various replicas you can get if you don't want to drop 30 bones on the OEM one. The replica bumpers also breaks in the same place. Keep in mind the original OEM one is obviously made From better quality than the replicas. Some people like the replicas more, no idea why. The bumper doesn't give the phone that much bulk and only protects the edges obviously. You can combo the bumper with a dbrand skin and it would look awesome and also provides scratch protection for the back.
So far mine didn't break yet and my older brother had his for a couple of months and it didn't break yet. So we can only wait and see for now.

Poetic bumper
Hey,
I'm in Toronto as well. Got my bumper from here:
Poetic Borderline Bumper (Blue) @ Amazon
Since I have a trial prime membership, the shipping was free. The bumper itself is awesome. Not sure how it is compared to the OEM one, but this bumper looks nice and gets the job done

Using both of them each of them has their pro and cons.
OEM looks better than the Poetic Bumper.
Poetic Bumper is less bulky and easier to hold in the hand compared to the LG bumper.
OEM has better button clicks (has built in 'clicks')

In Toronto too.
I don't recommend the bumper due to the lack of protection for the rear glass panel. I got a very sturdy TPU case off ebay for $5. A friend scored the same thing for $3 =.=. Takes a while to ship from China, but totally worth it.
If you really want a bumper over a full case, you can still find it on ebay for single digit prices. It won't be the official one, but I doubt the official one is really any better.

Blueshop.ca has it. They also have great shipping times and prices for Canadians

Go with the Poetic bumper. Not as pretty but feels better in the hand, the rubber part grips better on flat surfaces and it's 1/3 of the price of the official bumper.

There you go. Poetic bumper on amazon.ca for a great price and shipping. Since all the bumper's crack at the bottom eventually and you might possibly don't want to drop 30 bucks for a OEM one, you should get the poetic one. I only got the OEM Bumper cause I wanted white

Go to pacific mall!!!!

Really? Would PMall have Nexus 4 cases?

For OEM bumper, I think your best bet is as Kendaihou mentioned, futureshop or best buy.
If ever you pass by Quebec, you can get at a Videotron shop for $20 (this is where i got mine, and they used to carry a ton of them).
The reason that the grey plastic below the usb port cracks is due to bending with installation/removal. I find out if you don't remove the case often and only remove/bend it from the TOP corners, the plastic at the bottom of the usb port shouldl not crack.
And by the way, nothing beats OEM quality

Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.

Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.

These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

Take a look at this link. You have 12 battery cover colors to pick from, and will make your S4 really unique, and it looks pretty cool. I purchased the Dark Blue and Green covers.
Only $4.39 each and ships from New Jersey, USA:

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.

Wooden Galaxy Note 4 Skin Wrap

http://youtu.be/lbkwn9cSbgs
Dark wood skin for the Note 4. I wanted maximum scratch protection and something that would keep the black part of the metal nice and clean.
I know the Ringke slim looks nice and thin but it's not going to offer much drop protection so I just wanted to keep the phone as slim as possible which is naked.

How much was that, and do you have a link?

It's their official site : http://www.skinomi.com/sagano4.html
but sometimes they sell it cheaper at amazon

Here a link for the light wood version on amazon, under $17 shipped and cheaper I think if you have prime.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L4...404ef47a44f130a8beef&pi=SS115#ref=pd_aw_sbs_2

If you google coupon codes, they have some ranging from 10, 15, 0r 20%.
I would order directly from Skinomi because you get lifetime replacements. I'm not sure how the Amazon order would work with replacements even though they're sold directly through skinomi.
When I had the skin on my Note 3, I got it replaced 2 times because the thin edge pieces would peel up after a few months.

Speck Candyshell Grip for Note 4 Video Review - works with Verizon

Here's my video review of the Speck Candyshell Grip Case for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I was pleasantly surprised by this case and it has become one of my favorite cases for the Note. It also has a wider cutout for note 4s with different microphone placements.

Another great review, I just can't see myself spending $40 bucks for a non-holstered case.
I wish Verus's Note 4 cases were through Amazon/Prime so I can try one out along with the Neo Hybrid.
Really appreciate the case reviews, you saved me a lot of time and frustration man.

Nice, please do a video on the Otterbox Symmetry case for the Note 4.

Yeah, they're not sold through Amazon at this time.
It's technically listed through the third party seller system even though it's Verus - See here: Galaxy Note 4 Case, Verus [Heavy Drop Protection] Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Case [Thor][Charcoal Black] Extra Slim Fit Dual Layer Hard Case - AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, International, and Unlocked - Case for Samsung Galaxy Note IV SM-N910S Late 2014 Model
So if there's an issue or I need to return it, I have to go through Verus instead of Amazon. I don't mind paying the shipping, but I feel better going through Amazon instead of the third party vendor method.
Amazon covers my return shipping and picks it up at my door if I return something as opposed to having to do all that myself when dealing with a third party vendor.

The fit is pretty tight. It's not hard but I noticed that it is the hardest case to take off out of all the ones I've bought. I noticed that it has gotten easier after the first removal and installation so it might become easier to remove as time passes. Hope this helps.

I've always like the look of the candyshells but the glossy polycarbonate scratches too easily. It looks like an old case within days.

I have the black speck case, problem is, with the case on, I can't fit the Note 4 into ANY leather belt holster that I own. Without the case, I have a couple leather belt holster that will fit the Note 4.......................... Naked with a belt holster, or Case and in the pocket ?

Only on the belt when working out!

Finally have this case and love it! Super slim and light. Very grippy and seems to protect it well.

Having purchased a lot of things through both Amazon & their third party resellers my experience is there has been no difference between them when you need to return something or have a problem with it. The return procedure is exactly the same for both of them. You print the prepaid shipping label & return it. Amazon stands behind their third party resellers to insure you have the same satisfactory experience purchasing through them as you do purchasing directly from Amazon.

Case for the s10.

Case for the s10

Not a fan of cases in general, but with the $50 credit after preordering the S10+, I got the back LED case. I was more intrigued by the technology than the case itself. I'll most likely order a skin or a slim case by mnml or peel.

better get a case than paying for ordering

Am getting this one for now, didn't know that S10 clear case is included w/ phone.

Have you guys thought about using skins for your S10's? You get a TPU Gel case with your phone orders so why not add a touch of your own style? Check out our social media channels, you may find a 40% discount lurking .

Ohhh interesting about the clear case I just looked on what's included. Anyway I am going to be getting that spigen case but with the kick stand

I thought this case sounded interesting and figured for a tad under $20, why not?https://www.google.com/url?q=https:...503000&usg=AFQjCNHcaoc_-W0pbAC6I16Elbcz9mUe9g
I'll also be ordering the Samsung flip case. A bit pricey, but one of my favorite cases.

Anyone see any decent wallet cases that can hold 7 cards?

Changed my order to S10+ and that's my final pick, it has a kickstand and since it's clear it'll show the prism-blue colors:

I got this grey rugged kickstand case free as part of my S10+ pre-order!

I've gotten the Otterbox Defender for every phone I've had and can't complain. Just got the Defender for my S10+ in the mail today.

Looking for a clear case, cause it doesn't make sense to buy prism white an do cover it with an opaque case. The Spigen fits the bill, but till wait. More case makers will offer discounts.

Can I get a link to where you saw they'll be including a clear case? And are they including one with the s10+ as well? Reason asking is I'm seeing the opposite on other sites and want to verify before I order a skin instead of a case. Or i could play oblivious and have two cases. Wife will never know ?
