I have seen that many of us want a bumper for our Nexus 4's, yet the official one is still listed as OUT OF STOCK and probably will be for a while. I have been looking for any bumpers out there but I have not really found much, except for one that won't be shipping until Dec 30. I am wondering if anyone out there has found any other bumper for the Nexus 4, either available right now, or available soon. It would be good if whoever finds any bumper option can post it here, I'm sure that many will benefit from knowing this. Thanks!
AFAIK, the only other one is that Poetic bumper that will ship at the end of the month..
yep poetic one is the only one I have seen other than the official and from the pictures it doesn't look very good but I might try it since it's cheap. I would think we would have seen cases some from major manufacturers already but nope...

I had both the Nexus bumper and the poetic bumper. The Nexus bumper is made very well and has a higher end look and feel. I was using the Nexus bumper prior to the Poetic bumper. The Poetic bumper is narrower and shorter than the Nexus bumper but is slightly thicker. The Poetic bumper is definitely not quite as nice or refined as the Nexus bumper but, IMO, is easier to grip and hold. Some people have had issues with the Poetic bumper separating, but I haven't had any issues and I have removed the case many times. I decided to keep the Poetic bumper and sold the Nexus bumper on ebay.

I contacted them a while ago and they said they are making it just like the official bumper.They also said they will update the pictures on amazon when they get their final mold this week.
I just checked yesterday and it was 7.95, was going to try them but late last night when I checked again, they bumped up the price to 12.95 now... still cheaper than the official bumper though...
seriously??! ANOTHER bumper thread?!?

So its 7.95? I checked shipping is only 6$ to Europe. I added to card and it showed me 12.95... Will they take off 5$ from shipping price?

Look something interesting:
In America Nexus S sold $529,99 = about 400€.
In UK Nexus S sold £549.95 = about 645€.
Why so much deferrence in price???

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It's not VAT, it's that everything in the UK is an utter shaft.
In this case the Nexus S worths only if European citizens have someone in US to buy it about 400€...
Ιn other case all those plastics and hardware doesn't worth 650€ only because Google will give direct support to Nexus S...
That's my opinion....

IMO 650 EUR is defenetly too much for Nexus S. Even factory unlocked iPhone 4 is cheaper in UK. Im from EU, but I will buy nexus s from US.
Just spoke to CPWH customer services and they say they have not received the shipment from the suppliers yet and can't give a exact date to when they will.. ask me to call back Monday.
Im gonna wait until prices for Germany are announced.
Due to the fact that getting NS from US would cost me in the end ~550€, i hope the price in germany wont be any higher - at least i expect that.
Paying 650€ in UK and get it imported here ends up around 700€.
iPhone 4 is only at 630€ at apple-store here...

Do you have any contact names there for anyone who knows what's going on?
I've spoken to customer services twice and neither even knew what the Nexus S is. I've raised a complaint and even then the response is a bit non-de-script.
I ordered mine on the 7th December and have heard nothing about delivery times etc. It's supposed to be 20th December in the UK but still CPW are clueless.
I ordered on the day it was announced. I spoke to CPW this afternoon and they told me that some stock has been released today but there was no guarantee I'd get one and there is more stock next week. Sounds like BS to me, I'll just have to wait and see.
its now in stock guys!

I love them. Best budget screen protector IMHO. I Get them for literally every phone I get because of the value/quality.
Think about them as a budget zagg. They are not perfect, but for this price they can't be beat. Plus they ship quickly with tracking and are made in the USA

I've been using these for years. Alan is a stand up guy and each time I've had an issue, he refunds and then asks questions. I've gotten all mine from eBay, the prices seem a little lower there than from his website.
Got mines...
Even though i live at the southern tip of africa.. shipping took just over a week...
Seriously impressed. And after a few days you dont even notice the screen protector. No Orange peel effect like Zagg. And the crispness of the screen is preserved.

I'm leaving for vacation on the 18th, giving me three business days to receive the device (UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays, I believe) which is already making me nervous. If I do actually receive the device, I'm absolutely terrified that I won't have a case, especially considering this device is made mostly of glass. I've seen a couple but none of them are actually available until the 17th at the earliest. Are there any available right now? I'm not being picky at all. Anything will work. It can definitely be something temporary. Hell, I'll even accept silicon. That's how desperate I am.
I haven't been able to find much at all. But if you're looking for a quick fix, there are some leather pouches on ebay being marketed for the Nex4. I've contacted one of the ebay sellers and asked about the dimensions....They said it was the correct size for it.

I'll probably have to go with one of those even though they don't really offer the protection I need...especially for the Black Friday shopping I'll be doing. But they're better than nothing, I suppose. Hopefully I can buy one that will ship quickly. Thanks for the links!

i hope there will be options for bumpers. i hate cases, but i'm deathly afraid of cracking the glass

Yeah, it's not exactly what I'm looking for either. But considering my luck with phones in the past.....I need something at least. I want a really good case, but I don't want to get the phone and wait a week or two for a case to be produced and then break it.... That's No Bueno.

Exactly. And I wouldn't be so worried if I were going to be at home. But I'm going to be staying in a cabin with wood floors and in a largely populated area Black Friday shopping. It's basically a recipe for disaster. In a way, it might be a good thing if I did wait...but there's no way I can do that :laugh:

I did consider this, but it seems that it won't be released until the 20th. I ordered a front protector (which I might cancel and order both the front and back soon) from XOSkins that is apparently supposed to ship out on the 13ths. I'm taking a ton of gambles with this one.

I haven't seen anything about the bumper yet. Does anyone have one?
Good? Bad? Details?
I think one person from Sydney said they had one. Should never have added the thing to my order and maybe I'd have the N4 shipped by now.
Oooooh yeah that's it - they don't ship the phone because they don't have enough bumpers!

Seems ridiculous doesn't it, much like most of the N4 launch, but no one who ordered any device in the same order as a bumper has had any of the order shipped. They state "Order ships when all items are available" in your cart when you purchase.
Show me someone with one shipped and it's dis-proven.

Google did this with the n7 launch with people who bought any accessory and tablet at launch. Most waited over a week before it shipped.

Like the title says. I would like to see one. I think I have a phone and bumper coming, but only time will tell.
Also curious about seeing the bumper.
I really want to see it aswell, I could not order it when ordering my phone, but really hoping to get one if it fits decently.
I'm guessing that the people that ordered one are the people that had their orders delayed :/

I'm starting to think Google didn't even have any bumpers ready. I don't think anyone has had a bumper shipped. The bumper appears to be a pre-order, even though it was not marketed as such.
I also want to see this. It's a factor of whether I get the bumper or not.
Got my Phone but no Bumper notifications yet. I guess they didn't have them ready.
I hope that it does take away from the phone. All I want is enough gap between the edge and the glass to keep it off any flat surface I lay it down on. It does look like that is what it was designed for.
I got my shipment confirmation today that BOTH the phone and bumper have been shipped and will be here Monday!!!
