Issue with the bumper case from Poetic - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Let me start of by saying I personally like the bumper. Not as good looking as the official bumper, but it does the job and looks fairly nice. The only issue I am having is the fact that the rubber in the bumper tends to separate after a while. Seems like a classic you get what you pay for situation, being that its only 10 USD. Just letting everyone know before you decide to get it.

There are already multiple inquiries of this. Contact Poetic so they can issue you another bumper. Their first batch was apparently defective.

in my situation, i got 6 free, 3 original broke, 3 first replacements broke, have 3 more on the way! lol

While its great that they replace them, it does show a lack of quality in the product. Im surprised there isnt more people selling their own bumpers on ebay etc

6 bumpers.!

Cool story bro

Did you make that up?? That is hilarious! Or did you just take it from one of the other 50,000 threads it is in?

Thats good to hear but im quite curious why would you ever buy the same continually defective case six times?

This deals is awesome. And theyre not thay difficult. I admit the nokia lumia 900 was fiddly but invest time and dont rush. I have ordered a htc one x full body, s3 full body and a razr i/m screen protector with shipping to the uk for just $8.87. Cant complain at all.

My experience was quite the opposite--they're an absolute nightmare to install. I ended up trashing mine and went with the usual two peels one.

Was yours a back and front. Or one with lots of little bits? The lumia one felt like doing an airfix model. Lol

I rrreally need an official bumper when will google sell it again??

It's been 1month since i got my nexus 4 in HK
I really love my phone..I am so worried about that someday it may broke
I 've seen many broken glass pictures.. it really hurts my heart..
so what the hell is google(or maybe LG) doing?
I don't need an actual phone, is it so hard for them to make the bumper>???
There is a replica being sold from China. Apparently the quality is good. Check the accessories forum.

I just cant see myself using a flip case. It seems like it'll get in the way, but I like the idea of having your wallet combined with it,
Mine should be here soon. If you order do it on Amazon, they have a discount code in the description which will give you ten dollars off the price. I didn't see it till after I ordered it so check that out.

Got one
I have had one for a couple of weeks now. I really like it. My cards are easy to pull out of the slots. The leather has broken in at the spine and it folds over great. It doesn't honestly get in the way of using the phone personally. My only complaint is it gets a little thick with some cards in it. I have 3 cards in it and I can hardly fit it in my pockets. Granted my pants pockets are on the slim fitting side. I usually just carry it around or put it in my jacket pocket. So far I am impressed with it, except it takes a little work to get it out of the case. I am always afraid I am going to scratch or chip that chrome ring around the front of the phone when I pull it out of the case.
Would you guys minds putting up some be pictures, thanks!

No it won't. I have 2 nexus 4s. One is a 301K and the other is 303K. A friend also has 303K. None of these have the nubs. Its the 304K models and later which ship with nubs

Why should he send it back if it hasn't got the nubs?
Without the nubs the phone also works fine.
I think you shouldn't just RMA because of that.

303k and i have those pesky nipples at the bottom
i ordered new nexus 4 about three weeks ago and when it arrived, it didn't have the nipples. i was hoping it would but oh well.
about a month before that, i had to RMA another nexus 4 and the replacement also didn't have nipples.
Well.... I have heard that they kinda made the glass a bit stronger in the new design . Is it true?
Or is the same fragile one that breaks without even touching??

These are small bumps on the back of the phone near the screws that keep the phone a bit raised when kept on any surface. This helps reduce scratches on the glass back, help prevent slipping of the phone as well as improve the sound quality as the speaker opening becomes raised due to these nubs.

Were you able to know the serial number before actually getting the phone? It wasn't from the Play Store, was it??

Why, their cases suck. On the defender the outside rubber stretches and fits terrible after a short time and it makes this phone massive and almost unable to carry, at least thats how the note 2 case was.

There's almost as many 1 star reviews for the Spigen as 5 star, sounds as though the cutouts are mis-aligned on some of them and there have also been 2-3 week shipping delays reported... so be careful with that one.
I ordered the Supcase on amazon and I like it. The original one they sent me was missing the cutout for the top noise canceling mic but they sent me a replacement which is good.
Check out uag cases they have it available already its cool looking and serves its purpose without the bulk I had it on my note 2

Don't care if you think it makes it look like a brick etc, been using them since my OG Droid and have yet to break a phone from dropping it so I'll keep using them :highfive:

Just order the seidio surface for my phone it seems like a really sturdy case, they also have an active version not [email protected] moment but to me it seems like a slimmer more appealing version of the otter box defender Series, you should check then out.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda premium
Just so you know Otterbox only covers otterbox. if you drop your phone with the case on and the phone breaks, you're out a phone. They'll replace the case for free though!
I'll prolly get defender since commuter would make it a little awkward in my pocket. Plus I can get them for cheap

I received (finally) my Neo Hybrid yesterday. The fit is great and the look is nice. I like the case a lot. I also think that it could take a drop. That being said, the case is incredibly slick. So much so, that I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable using it. I would not recommend. Way tto slick.
I just ordered a case that says it's for the N9000 model. It should still fit the Verizon N9005 right they are exactly the same right? There's another case on eBay that looks exactly the same as the one I bought and it says it works with the N9005. Just curious.

I was an otterbox fan until I discovered seidio. Much better product and company. Went with a neo hybrid with this one and I love it. I agree that it is too slick though.
I liked otterbox for protection. But like was said the case stretches in short time and looks horrible. Ballistic makes just as good cases that are easier to take off and put on. And don't stretch. Gonna try a Trident (different company) case this time around myself since I think those will be available first.

From what I have been told by my distributor end of November for Otterbox on the Note 3.

I agree, I have a red neo-hybrid and it looks awesome but it is very slippery to hang onto.
