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??

I have nipples.

Ya the nipples improve battery life, make screen stronger, faster network, will do your laundry...walk the dog...you name it.........have you seen the new nexus with a built in fairy that will grant you 3 wishes yet????? I'd wait and RMA for that one.

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

Yeah I tried to scratch it with my Keys and it didn't even leave a mark. Sometimes I put my keys and phone in the same pocket. That's how I scratched up my epic touch.

Issue with the bumper case from Poetic

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.!

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've been using the one linked for about 2 weeks now and it gets the job done. It's not as high quality as the official; but it works just as well.

Just broke my nexus 4. now what?

I just dropped my nexus 4 and BOOM! Screen cracked, won't recognize my touch.
1st step: Google play is out of nexus 4.
2nd step: replacement screens are almost $300.
I'm on t-mobile.. what's next for me? I LOVED the nexus 4. Really, I had dreams about how great this phone was.

Another option is to send it in to LG in Texas for repair. They charged me $146 delivered to replace a N4 cracked screen.

I'm in depression today. I still can't believe I dropped the nexus 4 and it broke. My only hope is to wait for the nexus 5. I'm not making the mistake of getting a note 3 or a s4. For now I'm using a $30 flip phone. I feel like it's 2001 again.
Don't be too depressed, some people don't have clean water to drink and make only 1USD from a full day of work.
You can get a screen assembly for $108 on ebay and replace it yourself, or give the broken phone to me for free, I could make use of it.
If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, buy a case or tempered glass screen protector next time.
How did you go from broken phone to Dysentery water? You have a sick mind my friend.

Cracked digitizer

So today I flipped open my case and my digitizer was cracked on my less than 2 week old N7. Won't let me unlock or anything. I have not dropped or otherwise damaged it. Has this happend to anyone else? Manufacturing defect? I also noticed last night that on black screens there were some red splotches. I'm just afraid if I try to get it replaced they will say physical damage have a nice day.

I believe it and no have not heard of this happening. If it was a drop, there would be a clear dent or shatter marking on that line before it splits into two. Just talk to google or where-ever you bought it from and try to keep calm. When glass breaks, it shatters and not produce hairline breaks like that.
get it replaced for free.

yup either that or a crack form pressure like sitting on it or having it in the back pocket and forgetting about it.
that's not a defect. it just doesn't crack on its own.
I couldn't find my tablet. Looked high an low. Sat down on the sofa and found it. My screen is worse than your picture but is the same result. No way to unlock the screen or anything. She is busted.

The tablet had slipped down the back of the sofa between the seat cushion and the back of the sofa. I sat down and it must have squished it. The cushions are super soft and I'm still not 100% sure it happened.

I bought a 32gb the same day and had it sent overnight. I learned an expensive lesson to be more careful. Flo isn't as tough as my SGSIII. These screens seem soft.

ahaha, nice!!
is Asus charging you to repair that device?
The nexus 7 has a very weak glass.
Mine got hairline crack from twisting.
Most drop test videos show it breaks on the first drop.
I have replaced first unit, waiting until local repair guy can get parts from his usual source to get first one fixed. May try contacting google/Asus about a repair but have not done that yet.

If you bought it with a credit card you may have coverage. Many of the premium cards come with 90 day replacement insurance.
