Everyone else thinks I'm crazy, so feel free to get on board :) There is a listing on eBay that has a picture of the bumper, looks exactly like the play store bumper if you ask me... But according to the seller it's the actual picture of his bumper and he said they are just as good quality as lg's.... he's selling it for $50. I'm not willing to find out if it is our not because the guy is in India, I believe.

No change on my order from 11/13......I thought there may have been some action this weekend...but once again I was left out in the cold! Hopefully someone shows up at work at Google tomorrow and does something! Ahhh yes....specialists are due to call me with updates...my world is saved! lol

Dont trust that one.. I also find this one, named: Poetic?

But that one is in stock 30th of dec.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Don't worry Jeff, you'll blink and it'll go up to $80, then $90.... I've watching those auctions for a while and they just end at astronomical prices!

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:20 PM ----------

I bought that one too... Jeff found that one along with the wicked nice looking clear and gray case a week or so ago. I'm too impatient, but I did buy it anyway.

This case.... doesn't it look awesome?!

[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Can't beat this for the price;)
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
wouw, yeh ! That one lookes awesome.. But the one i gave is just the bumper/copy of the original one. This one is prettier :laugh:

Why that late, damnit.. i want it now !
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Went for 76$ still a bit rich for my blue blood. I'm just hoping Google gets in gear and sells more soon. I can't believe there is still REAl Nov 13th limboers out there and we have people complaining about ordering and having a 5-6 week wait and not getting it yet.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Right, the poetic bumper is more "rubbery", for lack of a better word, than the lg one... The poetic looks more rugged. You can't beat the price on the bumper or the case, hence why I bought both :) These pre-orders are killing me... Cruzer lite cases are going out this week though, finally!

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

When did you order yours?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm so tired of these pre orders too. I can't believe nobody was prepared for this phone. Its like all the companies including Google got scared with this whole lte thing in the USA primarily and weren't prepared for the demand. I for one was gonna get this phone no matter what the blogs weren't gonna stop me and Google just dropped the ball. I can't believe they weren't prepared at all for its popularity. Yes a lot of people have jumped on for the ride since the initial launch with everyone wanting the phone it was all over the net. But those that tried to order on the 13th and either got one ordered or couldn't get through well the supposed king of the net couldn't hang on and it crashed. Then on the 27th it crashed again. Then all these mess ups and lost orders and people not getting there phones in order and it becoming a lottery with many just lost and left behind. This is Google I had so much faith in them before as having it together. Now I'm just confused I love the product and right now despise the company because of what they have done to me and many of my friends on and off the net. Plain crazy

Freaking love this case!!!!!!!!! Can't wait! Got the matching T-shirt too :)
[Nexus 4 General] :
Ordered N4-16GB on 11/27, estimated shipping said 2-3 weeks, shipped on 12/5 and received on 12/7, so it was more like 10 days.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
What I don't understand is the same thing happened with the nexus 7, not really as bad as the nexus 4, but it certainly started out the same way, a disaster! Google has to know by now that there is demand for nexus devices. Even the "average" user has jumped on board with Google devices.... And more to come with it being available through T-Mobile. So I don't understand this " demand is high, stock is low" thing. We are going on a month since launch and nothing has changed! Bumpers being baby unicorns??? Whaaaat!? Bumpers? How can you not spit out thousands of bumpers in a month? And even after all this I'll still be back for more when the next nexus is out, and I think that's Goggles problem, they've gotten cocky. IMO.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Sad part is I'll be right here ordering again next year with u. Like Google junkies lol:what:
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Haaahaaa! That you did lovey! But being warned and actually reading it are two totally different things! These people are serious....I thought "oh ha ha, they must be just joking around"... But oh no, they are seriously bent about it being just a few days!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes some people don't know what a small number of people are going through at this point its not their fault though either I guess. But those people are better than me I would have popped at this point and its not the csr's fault either but id wouldn't have cared.
[Nexus 4 General] itpromike:
Ok so here goes nothing.... I'm about to make a second order in hopes that it might actually get shipped. This is kinda annoying that we have to jump through all these hoops to get this device, here's hoping that Google learns how to launch a device online properly by the time the next nexus comes around.

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

[Nexus 4 General] kalipedia:
Quick question for those of you with 11/27 orders and 2-3 week shipping. I got my email confirmation of my order that day (Order date: Nov 27, 2012 9:17:29 PM EST) and that's what it says in my Wallet, but in Google Play Account (https://play.google.com/store/account) it says my order is of Nov 28. I have received no shipping or anything and order says Pending everywhere. Does everyone in my same situation see this same discrepancy? I'm just trying to figure out if there's ANY rhyme or reason to the fact that some orders go out and some don't. I guess I shouldn't look to find reason and consistency in any Google launch. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Psilocin:
That is one sexy case. I would order this if the ship date wasn't in January. Can anyone guarantee that the case will fit perfectly and not need revisions?
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Anyone checked this out yet?

Planning to get the Frost Clear one. (Soft Flexible)

I also want to know if any of you guys know any other soft/rubber ones. I don't want those hard cases. Something rubbery to get a firm grip on and also take some drops by absorbing the shock.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I have that case and the kaycase.... Hate them both. I have the frosted clear. They make the n4 look cheap. IMO.
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
Still waiting one one.
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Yeah? :(

Which one would you suggest if I want a rubber one instead of a plastic hard case?
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I can vouche for cruzer lite in that they will send free revisions if they need to revise a case. They usually fit perfect and I've never had a bad fitting case from them. I own several of their cases and pre ordered the androidified cases for the n4 and i have them for the nexus 7 and gnote, and the galaxy nexus... All fit perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
11/27 with 2-3 week estimate..

No other email yet.. 'Pending' status here as well

I wonder when are we going to get our devices :crying:

Oh gawd, I so hope so!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
That could take a while to ship right?

Also is it a hard case or a flexible soft one?
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
At this point, you probably deserve it.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Let me look real quick on Amazon and I'll give you my opinion... Hang on.

OK... I-blason now has a "crystal clear" case ( bastards, didn't have that when i bought the frosted clear) so i would go with that.... At least you'll see the phone and not have this ugly frosted thing in the back, that just killed it for me... I mean, i wanted the frosted clear but in person it looks bad. And the kayscase " smoke" is nice, bought that for a friend because he bought one of those "s" tpu cases that i loathe.... And it looks nice. There aren't too many choices really. Hence why I'm not using a case until the cruzer lite cases ship this week and i get my bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
How can someone guarantee something that hasnt even been made yet? Come on now, these questions are getting silly.

Hi, I want to know which limbo level I fill in, I ordered on 11/27 @ 9:00pm EST got the order confirmation e-mail a few minutes later, now it changed status to Pending and got new date 12/06, but seen how mess up is google's system I am hoping for it to arrive before 2014!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
OK...i edited my original post with some opinions. Do you want to see the frosted clear on the n4? I can post a pic.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
You are in no limbo
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
You dont fall in any limbo level. You are still within the estimated shipping time frames.
[Nexus 4 General] TooSlo:
Welp, I'm tired of waiting, so I found a local N4 for $50 more than it would have cost me through Google.

I've attempted to cancel my other two orders, but if I end up with an extra, I'll make them available to people here on XDA if there are still people looking for them (Assuming they somehow get shipped soon)
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Join the club HAHA! You deserve it. I'm telling you our orders that were limboed on the 13th are just all messed up. I have a pretty good theory on why mine came for free but yours is an act of God!

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

BTW guys the app fullscreen toggle with button savior running rocks for a full screen N4. I'm now on day 3 with it and it works awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Yeah, I have had a look at the crystal clear one (And yeah, it just came recently). I was almost about to order it until I found out that it is a hard plastic case not flexible like the rest. Kaycase has an ugly logo from what I read. Since you are using the Frost Clear one, do you think it serves its primary purpose? Leaving looks behind. Since protection is right now my priority until newer/better cases come in the market.

[Nexus 4 General] Psilocin:
Not entirely silly because I have never ordered from Cruzerlite before and have seen cases not fit perfectly in the past, which is why I try to avoid preordering until there are customer reviews and revisions are made if necessary.

Sounds like product and good customer service. I already ordered the diztronic tpu. But if I end up keeping both of my n4 orders, I may order the cruzerlite. Props to whoever designed it.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
My point exactly. Silly question to ask, because the product is not even made yet, so who would know if the fitment was correct or not? Noone can "guarantee" yes or no, like the original question was posed.

Look at the Rearth cases for the N4. Everyone swore by how great the cases are, and the N4 case will fit perfectly and look great. Now look in the accessory forum, and see how many people are complaining and how many cases Rearth has to replace now because of improper fitment on the upper left side of the case.

So yes, someone asking at this point if a member can "guarantee" fitment of a product not yet made is silly. Once someone has their hands on the product and attached it to their phone can they guarantee it.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Oh bummer! Didn't realize it was a hard case :/ Some people received a case with no kayscase logo and others did receive one with a logo...my frosted does have the logo but you can't see it once the phone is in, it seems to disappear. The smoke case I bought doesn't have the logo, so I guess it's a gamble. The case isn't a tight fit, it's loose, not so loose that it's falling off, but it could definitely be more snug. I think it'll give protection as far as small drops go, on to carpet...lol no way will it help with drops on to concrete though.

But if your intention is just something for now, then yes...get it, it'll do fine.

---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

Diztronic is another great company, all my sgs2 cases are Diztronic, and Clay is awesome! He'll be happy to help if something is wrong with the case. I just bought my gnote the smoke matte for $2.90 on amazon! Their cases are always perfect fitting too. Those are my favorite case companies, for quality and service and price.....that's nice :)

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 PM ----------

Cruzer lite cases go out this week, they are done and they are packing them up right now. The androidified cases, not the xda cruzer lite case...it's a flexible tpu, not a hard case, and they aren't like those lint magnet nasty gel cases... YouTube has videos of them, really good quality cases.

How hard is it to cancel an order in google play? Im strongly considering placing an additional order and then canceling one once I get a shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] bidnexus:

[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
There should be a link in your Play Store order status page. To the right of the order date it shows
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
Will it be automatically cancelled or do we have to wait until Google approve the cancellation of our order?
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I cancelled one of my orders, and it took about 15 minutes to receive a confirmation email and my order status online to change to Cancelled.
[Nexus 4 General] exaybachay01:
There is no rhyme or reason to it. I think honestly a lot of people were at work or tried to buy the phone at 12pm EST on 12/27, got caught in the trouble and came back to try and reorder in the evening, so a mad influx of people around 4-6pm PST made orders landing in the crazy 2-3,3-4,4-5 groupings, they focused on a mix of early back ordered 11/13-era, and what they could if the 11/27-era, stock got low so they pushed everyone (unbeknownst to them) to "back-order/pre-order" status. They then ended up with more in stock, so someone had the brilliant idea to start filling out orders, but possibly had forgotten to reset the status of those "back-orders/pre-orders", which caused the new orders of 12-4 to 12-7 to be fast-tracked. Seen a lot of people with recent orders still be at pending (could be due to the weekend), so maybe they caught the issue with the influx of complaints.

I was a 11/27 2-3weeker, 4:52pm PST, just pending and nothing else. I emailed on the 7/8th and got the auto-reply of delivery of 12/19, but have worked all weekend so haven't called google yet. Not sure if I should or if it makes a difference. I'm in Kansas, incase geographical locations make a difference

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I'm waiting on RMA number 2 right now. No updates, but I have RMA 1 packed up and ready to ship back. I might actually keep the original. I rarely see the light bleed spot... but the lower half of my screen is still a little more washed out than the top. Kinda getting used to it all. If I get this next replacement before my 21 days are up on the original (clock started Dec. 6) and it is worse than the original I think I will just keep the original. Tomorrow I'll put one of my screen protectors on it. Been rocking it naked with the bumper... no scratches yet, but only using the "cloth addiction" cloth I purchased on it, and being careful. Love this phone, but really can't wait for Google to get a damn update out to fix the wake locks. With Trinity Kernel and Rasbean I can get at or over 5 hours screen use (if I'm not idle too long... wake locks drain of course). Going to pick up a diztronic case as well for the days when I need more protection than normal.

It's amazing to see that Google cannot logistically fill orders chronologically and have no solution to the disconnect between order/shipping problems and the actual UPS shipping process. As I've said before, you limbo folks waiting on launch day orders (other than bumpers!) should just order another if you have the funds and cancel when the later order ships. Seems the later you order, the faster you get it, especially if it coincides with a wave day!

You know, until the orders ship, shipping "specialists" don't email you back. It's a slap in the face!
