This thread is funny, if you think something is too much don't buy it. It's obviously not a lot too many people. I found 100+ auctions that price ended at over $100, nobody put a gun to their head and made them purchase the item. Just like with any other new gadget, if demand is there it will sell.

Anyway 3 have been claimed and will be shipped tomorrow as soon as UPS man shows up.

Started to order more than one. Could have made a couple of bucks. My loss
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hatzy:
I seriously laughed my ass off for a good 120 seconds.

It isn't about people being jealous of others making money off of it. At least not for me. High five for being a capitalist. I think it has more to do with the hoarding aspect. When you buy 10, 20, 30 bumpers, that's 10, 20, 30 other people that you just dicked over from purchasing them for 20 bucks off of Google. But as long as stupid people keep buying them for stupid prices, it's just going to continue to happen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
What you're doing isn't wrong. Hell, do what you gotta do, it's not like Google is stopping people like you from doing this.

But what I don't like is you semi-bragging about it when there's plenty of people here that want just 1 for themselves but can't.

Again, make the money while you can, but don't openly tell people (especially here) that you're buying a surplus to make a profit. That will make anyone here feel salty and resentful. Just keep it to yourself and your eBay page.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] alexanderi:
+1 100% agree. I can't even get 1 and seeing those selling at Ebay for $100, Man...what the **** is wrong
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Yeah I know, it's understandable for people like you and I to feel resentful. But whatever, nothing we can do. It's just insult to injury when people like him throw it in our faces that he got so many and a lot of us can't even get one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
I would actually assume they are just trolling the thread, would someone actually come on here to say they were scamming people? It's more likely someone is mad they didn't get to buy something, so they came on here to be a troll.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aimetti:
jeeez i ordered one and receive it today , who wants it for 100 bucks lol. At that price ill gladly sell it and just pick up another one down the road. heck its only a case.

Pretty weird eh? Play Store orders don't track in Google Now, but Amazon orders do. Go figure.

I took my bumper off as it makes the phone too big for my girly hands and the headphone socket doesn't always work with my Sennheisers without some twiddling.

Might stick it on eBay for cost + eBay fees. What's the XDA policy on selling stuff?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Net.silb:
Mine should arrive by the end of today! :D

Anyone else have a bumper weighing 1.2 pounds on the UPS site? Which is even heavier than my phone was...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aimetti:
ya mine is the same

[Nexus 4 Accessories] donutman:
Lol yea the problem here is the dumbasses who pay $100 for a bumper!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I think the XDA market was slated to close soon or already did. Not sure what the policy is for selling in the device specific areas though.

Back to topic. Mine is out for delivery. But funny thing is, I am not going to use it lol. Not sure when I will honestly.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Are you forgetting that it comes in a box as well as retail packaging?

Edit: Scratch that, I see what you meant now. Either way, I've found UPS to not exactly have reliable weight numbers for lightweight shipments.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Would you mind telling us what bumper and case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yyz71:
Moral of the story!!! Seriously Now:confused: Ugh... You clowns make me laugh. Ok I've got a few products people need or want, I have them! Umm let's see I'll gouge people come here and brag how I'm making money hand over fist.. For the holidays :rolleyes: please go away...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
Phone hasn't arrived yet?

I'm still bummed I missed out. Hoping some eBay auctions will go for like $30-35, but that's not happening at all. :\
[Nexus 4 Accessories] K Rich:
For those that missed out, I'd be happy to sell my bumper if I'm not happy with it when it arrives tonight, but don't get your hopes up as most seem to really like it.

TODAY is the day of BUMPERS!!!!!!!!!!! rejoice everybody!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Delivered! Now to find a leather holster of some sort that will fit the big sucker lol.

Ordered a Note 2 case/holster to see if it fits with the bumper lol.

---------- Post added at 12:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

No I got the phone, but have been changing cases as I see them come in. I have the Diztronic tpu, which is great but want to use a holster for work. I opted for the Diztronic ultra slim case, which doesn't cover the top or bottom but should fit the GNex Seidio Surface spring holster.

Next to try is a generic leather case/holster for my belt made for a Note 2. :p:eek::fingers-crossed:

EDIT: NO need to buy another generic case. I have am using the holster case that I have used with my Sensation when that first came out years ago. Great news is that the Diztronic was able to stretch the leather and now the bumper fits! I'll post pics :) (yay!)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] UZ7:
Just got mine today :), UPS guy left package by the bushes.. and its been raining all day! lol. Anyway looks/feels good just need to put a screen protector on the back and whatnot. :good:

Wow this bumper case is amazing, my iPhone looks big, I mean my nexus looks cool, if you own a nexus you need to get one of these, don't get it from the e-ripoff, just wait for it to come back in stock!

@All,

Those who have got bumper and can accurately

measure the dimensions

, kindly measure the exact dimensions of the

Nexus 4 with bumper

.

It would be really helpful to find out the best fitting pouch, for an N4 with the bumper, which we are trying to do in this thread..It woud really prove useful when approaching sellers or manufacturers to find out the pouch which will best fit the dimensions.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
The caliper's battery is dead, so stuck at ~1mm.

11 x 76 x 140 mm
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tengen:
I'm using a plain old ruler, but I'm getting 11 x 140 x 75 (mm).

Very high quality case - the buttons especially are amazing; they feel better with the case on than off. Headphones seem to plug in fine for me, though other people have mentioned it being a bit fiddly. USB is similarly easy to access, and I haven't noticed excessive muffling for either the speaker or the microphone so far.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mario24601:
Am I the only one that thinks the phone is more slippery with the bumper on?

Wish the black parts on the bumper were the same grippy material as on the phone itself.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] WinDroidGuy:
I just used sand paper on the plastic "chrome" thing to make it buff and works wonders :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
what? lol

i think my ups driver must have got caught in this rain storm we have here in san diego, he's usually here by like noon and its already 3pm.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ddbaxte:
Just got mine. Very nice quality and worth the $20 price, although I wish there were an option for something other than 2-day air shipping. An extra $7.44 in shipping and taxes took some of the value away from buying the item by itself. (bumpers were not in stock on launch day when I purchased my N4.) Mandatory 2-day air or not, it's still cheaper than an iPhone 4/4s bumper.

It is a little more 'slippery' than the phone without bumper, as opposed to an iPhone bumper which improved grip, but made it a PITA to take out of your pocket. The materials and 'build quality' though are very nice, and the buttons are easy to activate, maybe even easier than the N4 without bumper, while not protruding too far as to be accidentally activated all the time.

The one thing that I will gripe about right off the bat, although I realize it is necessary in order for the bumper to offer any protection at all to the screen, is that you lose the feel of the curved glass screen edges, which I think is one of the nicest cosmetic features of the N4 and makes it a joy to use. This in turn, makes it a little more difficult to use apps that have swipe from edge features.

Those are just my quick observations.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
I agree with everything here :good:

I wished the black parts of the bumper were made out of the same material as the grippy stuff on the sides of the Nexus 4 itself.

And also, it REALLY sucks that with the bumper on, 95% of L shaped/right angled plugs for the earphone port is totally useless, or you are forged to JAM it in that hole to make it work (which in turn can affect it greatly if your earbuds come with a mic because the mic "groove" will not be locked into the phone and thus render your mic useless).

[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishtexmex:
I'm really considering plastidipping the outside/back of this bumper to add some extra shock absorption and grip when I pick it up tomorrow.

Does anyone have any experience with that?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
I just received mine an hour ago, and am on the fence on it. Yes, it no doubt has a premium build quality and look to it, and is worth the asking price all the way up to $30 shipped, I've seen much worse looking or made cases for more than what this costed. The black plastic border along the back of it has the same nice looking grid-like texture pattern to it as the Nillkin hard cases, and the plastic edge strip is a nice satin gunmetal color that looks totally like metal from afar. Every single cutout hole is perfectly, and I mean perfectly, aligned. I showed my co-worker the case on the Nexus 4, and her immediate comment was how it just simply looked like the case WAS the phone, as it was so well integrated.

The big downside to this case to me is that is is VERY bulky, and increases the width of the phone considerably in the hand. One of the things I marveled at was how slim the Nexus 4 felt in the hand when naked, it completely loses that feeling with this bumper and feels more like I'm holding a Galaxy Note now. I normally use a leather holster case clipped to my belt that already just fit the naked Nexus 4 snugly, the addition of the bumper makes it completely impossible to fit now. I also find it harder now to stretch one handed across the screen to reach certain things. I will also confirm that the case does make the whole phone feel more slippery, as there's simply no one surface on the bumper that offers rough resistance; it's all smooth. In fact it was nearly impossible to pull the phone back out of my holster after I initially tried jamming it in, because the bumper was just so slick, and I could not get a good grip on it to yank it back out.

In any case, if I keep this, I'd definitely have to look at combining it with a pouch and just pocketing my phone, something I'm not a big fan of doing. And I would pretty much have to go straight to the Galaxy Note/Note II accessories to make that happen I think.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elmerct:
I agree. Just mine today and love it. I think I like the feel of the phone better with the bumper. It maybe a feeling of greater security that it won't smash to bits if I accidentally drop it!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Prod1702:
I got mine today as well and i am with you got it. It has to be one of the best cases i have had for a phone. What i love most about it is that the bumper makes it look like there isn't a case on the phone. Most of all the buttons on the bumper. When you compare the bumper buttons to my $10 Amazon http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-SoftGel-Flexible-Frost-Black/dp/B009Y0ZZD4 or what is now $14.95 case, the bumper is so much better. the buttons on the bumper feel as if i am pushing the buttons on my phone. You can feel the button push in and click. I am 100% happy with the cost and the way this case is. Over all the best thing about it is that the glass back is shown and the phone no longer slides when I put it on something as well. This case is a must buy for the Nexus 4 in my mine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roxy:
Huh? who said that I didn't want it? lol. I was just curious why people are saying that it it felt more slippery with it on. :X
[Nexus 4 Accessories] K Rich:
Got my bumper on...and it feels great. My first "case" that doesn't make the phone feel like a brick.

I had to buy this adapter:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004LGRKZC
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
Can someone post pictures of why the case won't let headphones plugins fit on it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MNX1024:
Thanks for the heads up. The adapter plugs in easily and there's no problems with the case trying to force the headphone up? I just hope the adapter does not deteriorate the sound quality.

Going to try to post a picture sometimes later when I get a chance. The reason some headphones don't fit because they're too wide for the cutout hole on the case. Therefore the case is preventing the headphones from going in any further.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishtexmex:
Can you give us the model number or picture of your headphones/earphones? I was under the impression that a normal 90 degree, right angle plug would NOT work, and I'd have to buy a straight/180 degree angle adapter.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
My Sol Republic AMPS HD and V-Moda Crossfade LPs fit without an issue. However I have a feeling my Shure SE215 at work will not fit because of the size of the headphone plug.

Oh and the Sol Rep earbuds have a 90 degree angle plug and fit fine. I think it depends on how thick the rubber/plastic part of the earbud/headphone plug protrudes onto the bumper....well IMO anyways.

---------- Post added at 11:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Is it by chance the V-Moda M100? LOL I am aching for a pair next year when they come out. I LOVE my V-Moda Crossfade LPs, but the new ones look awesome and can only imagine how they sound from my old school LPs.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] catlog:
Just waiting for this to come back in stock in the UK. I'm going to be using a case from Mobile Fun UK for the time being, in the event my Nexus 4 gets here before the bumper is back in stock, which I hope is the case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
I am definitely keeping my bumper! It really looks like part of the actual phone, made me think why didn't they make a phone like this in the first place?

But I also feel like it is more slippery, I hold this thing with one hand most of the time. With the bumper installed my hands mostly grip the smooth metal looking plastic, before my hands were against the matte black plastic of the actual phone which grips a more then smooth plastic.

This is only my first day though, and I was used to my phone with no case. I had the cheap TPU case before which lasted a day on my phone.

Overall my opinion is like most others, it's a great looking case and very nice quality. For something so simple it's really a nice touch.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MNX1024:
How did you guess it !?!?!?!!?!? LOL :D

Deciding between that and the SONY MDR-1R because I absolutely love my MDR-V6. Might end up getting both, lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
HAHAAHAHA I totally guessed! Well if the wires are exactly like the crossfade lps then its an non issue. I am listening to Bruno Mars' new album right now with the bumper on :good::cool::victory:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
Then we'd need a bumper for the bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MNX1024:
How's the sound quality on the Nexus 4, with and without amps?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
Thanks guys. But, I really need accurate measurement of a N4 with bumper. I already got an approximate dimension from one of the posters as :

139 x 74 x 10.5 mm

@USSENTERNCC1701E, can you please try once your caliper's battery is replaced?

If you are planning to stick with the bumper and buy a pouch for it, please check out my thread. Quite a few posters who have been trying out various pouches are active there. Hopefully, we'll be able to find a good quality pouch which fits an N4 with a bumper snugly. Do post if you find any good ones :)

Else, I am sure, there are plenty of people who'd be happy to buy that bumper from you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
Amps? I never use amps. Just poweramp :D. Prior phone was a Sensation(wife will inherit that with Bruce's JB/CM10 builds lol) and used that primarily for music on the go.

As for sound the lows and mids are caught with such clarity, even with an older model earphones like the Crossfade LPs the sound quality is awesome. I cannot wait for the M100!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burrrcub:
I use that adapter for my car and it does fit and both my FiiO L8 (right angle) and L2 (straight) does not fit with the bumper on. My UM3x fits nicely though.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Correct. I have an SE215 and it does not fit with the bumper.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 PM ----------

Now I can't use my C421 when I use the bumper :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Yeah, can probably get new batteries tomorrow. Curious though, why do you need a measurement more accurate than ~1mm? If you get a pouch that fits much even that tight you'll have issues getting it out, as well as potentially depressing the power button as you put it in.

By the way, my measurement was including the span of power button and volume buttons.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

They may be called bumpers, but don't put the N4 on a chunk of dry ice and play bumper cars :crying:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
He has a thread about finding the perfect pouch, but I don't think 1mm is going to make much of a difference. Especially when talking about pouches that are probably made for other phones.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishrally:
My bumper didn't come with butane. Dabbin.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
Lol. What's confusing is that all 3 of you were telling different dimensions. [though only slight variation]. Also, considering that the dimensions of the phone also don't take into account the volume and power buttons, I think it'd be great, if you could measure without and then with and give the values if possible :)

That's true. But, there are options available like etsy which can make a custom pouch according to your specifications. 1mm is probably not going to make much of a difference in terms of length and width, but in thickness/depth, 0.5 or more can probably make a difference. [Some Note II/Note/Droid DNA cases may not fit? ] . My thread is here, in case @USSENTERNCC1701E was curious.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Yeah, I can agree that the depth is important. But from two of the measurements I've seen, two out of the three dimensions were the same and the last one was only 1mm different. If you had the depth included you would be set. Plus you have just random people using a ruler or a caliper set, so you have to expect slight variation..as minimal as those differences are.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TooSlo:
Is anyone who has the bumper not satisfied with the power button feel?

The volume buttons feel great and still have a satisfying click to them, but the power button feels very bad in a gummy/disconnected way. Out feels like I have to hold my phone in both hands to be able to actually press the power button far enough to activate it.

Maybe I just got a bad case?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Pheno.menon:
My power button works perfect.

Love this bumper overall, definitely worth the money :thumbup:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
For those of you who have the bumper, don't you miss the feel of the curved screen?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] redthunda69:
Not in the slightest. I use a screen protector anyways, which disrupts the curve.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ceejay83:
Nope. Can still get my finger to the edges of the screen.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
Don't you use a full-body wet-application screen protector? Those cover the whole glass, including the curves.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I have the XG with the cutouts (second batch I received) and works fine with the bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] K Rich:
Nope, the bumper is so close to the edge that you can almost feel the curve. Still feels fantastic :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ceejay83:
Protection > feeling the curve
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Here you go:

139.57mm @ widest point (straight as I could get it across the device, and at edge of bumper before it indents for charging port)

138.57mm @ center ear piece & charging port

74.44mm across center

10.77mm @ sides

11.04mm @ top

10.60mm @ bottom

I took several measurements to try to get the most accurate. The bumper can be "squeezed" if the caliper is too tight skewing the results, so as soon as it made contact is when I took the measurement.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dan37tz:
Received my bumper yesterday.

Wow...is my first impression. Such a beautiful elegant piece that actually enhances the look and feel of the phone, actually making it look more premium. The volume and power button actually feels better to me than without it. It makes pressing the buttons feel more precise for some reason.

My co-worker could not believe it was a bumper and almost mistaken it as part of the phone, he commented on how amazing it looks with the bumper on. The dark aluminum trim makes the phone look so much better than the shiny chrome.

I would say it's definitely worth the $27 shipped after having it on the phone. My Diztronic case went back into the box and that's where it will stay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I don't have a bumper but i agree with the chrome. The design aspect of this bumper is impressive, wish they just made the phone without the chrome and have it all black.
