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)

It's mobile. Here's the accurate one

here you go haha http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Borderline-Bumper-Google-Warranty/dp/B00AG0D52O/
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.

Damn wanted a case now so I can use it before the new feeling of the phone runs off.

I'm currently using the sgp crumena case for the galaxy nexus on my nexus 4 and can confirm it fits fine.
Can upload pics if needed - Let me know.

I tried to put my friend's N4 into my nexus case and it didn't fit. Admittedly I didn't try to force it in there... I was being overly careful since it wasn't my phone. maybe my case can be stretched out a bit.

I purchased a gnex Crumena case for my Nexus 4 and it does fit, but it's very tight. I have been working to stretch it for a couple of days now and it's getting much better. It's a beautiful case, so it's worth the effort in my view.

Mine fits perfectly fine... Saying that I did use the case with my gnex with the extended battery and also galaxy s3.
Have to say that the casr is beautiful... So much so that I bought the crumena case for my iPhone 5 which I have to be honest and say is nowhere near as good.

How often do you switch between phones? Just curious because I am a Note 2 owner but am also leaning towards impulse buying a nexus 4. I love my Note 2 and wouldnt get rid of it buy I am just trying to justify getting both.

I'll be honest... I have an iPhone 5, Nexus 4 and galaxy s3 i9305.
Of all of them I like the nexus 4 the most... There's just something about it that once you use it you always go back to it... At least I do...
I would definitely recommend getting one... Especially if you can get it from google play in your country... It's a steal!

Just ordered one red frame black back

Since the link you provide auto forwards me to ebay at this time, I'm going to not order one.

http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/
Ill Try again, but I had the same problem as you Paten where it forwarded me to ebay.
It did it again for some reason. Go to Casefantatic.com and find it there.

Since that site also lists a metal "Sigen" NeoHybrid, I'm going to call their products fake. The prices are outrageous for fakes too.

Why would you pay $60 for that case? And the damn thing looks just like my neo hybrid from spigen. Like the poster above me said, fake!

That thing is gonna destroy your signal. Aluminum back plates kill it, it will be even worse with full sides as well.

I know this case... This seller did not produce or design it themselves. The simply bulk ordered from China and asked the factory to print their logo on the case.
I'll post a link to the sgs3 equivalent which I've had my eye on for half a year but was worried about the signal depreciation issues.

isn't it strikingly similar?

too iphone looking, no thanks.
if I wanted that look I'd use my iphone 5

I refuse to buy knockoffs.

Thinking of buying this case. Has anyone been able to get their hands on one yet? I want to make sure it doesn't have a cell reception problem.
I have heard that the Galaxy Note 2 version of this case had reception issues due to the metal causing interference.
If someone can reply, that would be great. I want to make sure I don't waste the $80+

Yeah this case looks great but I'm not willing to risk issues with reception with a $60 case

Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for Nexus 4

Recently XGear recently their Krystal Genuine Sapphire Screen Protector for the Iphone 4 and 5.
Here's the Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/xgear/krystal-sapphire-screen-protector-for-iphone-4-4s
What I would like to see is that they will also create this screen protector for the Nexus 4. The fact that XGear has already made certain protectors for the Nexus 4 makes them an excellent developer for this amazing screen protector.
They could create a kickstarter project for this nexus 4 and see how many people actually would want this screen protector.

If we have enough people who would want this protector we could write an email to XGear of they are willingly to start a KickStarter project.

I thought someone had said in the other XGear thread that it would be coming soon...
or something like that.

let us know when u get it how it feels on the phone and maybe some pictures. I was reading about their Holy Grail Series and seems to be really good since it says its rated A9 in Mohs scale with A10 being diamond. I wan't to buy it but I'm afraid of how it plays with bumpers or cases like the Ringke Fusion.

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.

I lil how dbrand hives you a choice on what you order instead of being forced to get more than you want/need. I've owned many SW and brand skins and personally after taking another look at the two my dbrand are cut better around the Nexus logo every time for ym old N6 skins.

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...

Sent from my VS985 4G using Tapatalk

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?
