Nah I took an exacto knife and cut the rubber/plastic back on the jack, now it fits nicely in there. Now I guess I'm happy. =/

To address muffed voice concerns, I did a test using Easy Voice Recorder, highest quality, with the case off and the case on in both the speakphone position, and the on-call position up to the ear. There is zero discernible difference in the quality of the sound, no issues.

Just so I have a frame of reference here, what kind of headphones do you have?

EDIT- Didn't want to post again but how much did you guys pay for shipping? I want to see if it's worth it to get one off of ebay if they don't come back in stock for a while.

Well a guy from India is selling bumpers for 50.00 USD (buy one get one free). I mean they aren't 20 dollars, but it is better than 100 and you get two.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-NEXUS-4-...611775?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7c5d983f

Edit. Says on the page not official, but high quality lol.

Get a buddy and go half.

also says preorder. wonder if he got some from that guy on akibara. glad to see more options available. not official bit looks identical lol

Guys , found this link under buychina, where they are selling it for 30$!

http://www.buychina.com/items/american-purchasing-nexus-4-original-protective-cover-phone-shell-bumper-wqxpunsmnln

I have contacted them to confirm whether the listing is genuine. But, not sure whether they would respond honestly if they are fake. But, it is possible that it is genuine. [ sourced directly from china where they are manufactured]. What do you all feel? I am tempted to buy this considering that there is no news of bumper's availability. The way, it is going , I would left without a bumper to protect my N4 from the end of the world ;) [ Dec 21]

Here is a cheap bumper and good quality although i think all bumper are waste of money and aren't a good protection.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AG...ct=true&ref_=as_li_ss_tl&tag=wwwgadgetgblo-20
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Pheno.menon:
Delivery time 10-26 days. Official bumper will probably be in stock by then..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
You are right. But, being from India, it does take me time anyway to get the device. Anyway, it seems it is not in stock with them. Here's the reply I got:

I think most likely it will be the 6-8 bucks aluminium bumper , which was listed in alibaba or some chinese site, for bulk orders.

He is apparently buying it in bulk and trying to sell it at a huge profit, lol.

If you hit the taobao link it says that they were genuine purchased from Play store. Though they somehow managed to have 34+ so .... doubtful its genuine and not gonna be $31.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
I doubt that. 10-26 days waiting for arrival is better then waiting for a case to come in stock before u can even order. I bet the play store stays sold out til next year...

Damn, i want that bumper too.. why is it so hard to find a friggin bumper.. -_-

Can anyone with a bumper measure the width of the phone with it on. Ppl keep saying it becomes too wide to hold but I just want a relative idea of how wide it actually is
[Nexus 4 Accessories] svengalis:
I wander even if it is the real case though? I saw a link for the real case on that same page but it was for $85!

Got my shipped email here in the UK last nigh! but just checked the TNT web tracker and apparently it was received on the 26th June 2012 by some guy in Livingstone? i live in manchester :confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ajsuk:
I don't have the phone on me just now but I put my bumper case on last night and it felt fine to me, though I have fairly large hands. Overall it made the phone feel much more secure, I didn't feel I had to be anywhere near as precious as I had been when the glass was more exposed. Great bit of kit, and I reckon it probably only adds 3-4mm to the width of the device.

If nobody has measured by tonight I will be sure to post up my measurements.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ssnr:
Arggggg I really want a bumper =( Before I go to sleep I check the site.... When I wake up I check the site .... When I poop I check the site. Think I'm going crazy :eek::eek::eek::eek:

Uhhhh yeah.... think i need to go out side or something, maybe get some fresh air
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chenga28:
got the bumper on friday, ordered it on day of launch. bumper is well made, adds a bit of width not sure if i will keep it as i have another case with back protection in the post
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ajsuk:
Very approximate measurements of my Nexus 4 with the official bumper case on:

Width

68.7mm Without Case

74mm With Bumper Case

(+5.3mm)

Height

133.9mm Without Case

139mm With Bumper Case

(+5.1mm)

Depth

9.1mm Without Case

10.5mm With Bumper Case

(+1.4mm)

So roughly 2.5mm added around the edges.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ryan92084:
If you haven't noticed yet the bumper is back in US stock as of ~2:06 EST

Just got 2. Came out to be $49.57. This way, I have a replacement just in case anything happens and I wouldn't have to go to those eBay hounds...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gotzaDroid:
Got one ordered too. Won't use it often, but it'll be there for when I do need it

Edit:

After realizing that I'll rarely if ever use it and how expensive it was, I canceled the order. I picked up a cheaper full case off eBay that someone posted here.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Haha, straight up impulse buy. I don't know that I ever would have got a bumper, but as soon as I saw it was available, I bought cause I might never have another chance. Two minutes later I'm like... damn, do I really want this thing, I already ordered a poetic borderline... oh well, I got it, just a matter of waiting now, lulz. I guess I'll have some options at least. I don't think I've ever ordered this many accessories for anything.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
Lol.Same here 5 so far :P

And now need to buy one more pouch which will fit the bumper. ;)

@All,

Do let us know if any of you find a pouch/sleeve which would fit the N4 with bumper, now that we know the approximate dimensions, I hope we'll be able to find one soon.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] F0rgiven:
Just ordered the bumper as well.

Currently use the Diztronic TPU, which has been wonderful I might add. I also pre-ordered the Poetic Borderline a while back. I guess we shall see which one I end up liking best.

I could see letting 4 (you can technically buy 2 of each phone), but 15 is ridiculous and clearly somebody trying to gouge prices.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] AgentBEATS:
I don't see why the test units wouldn't be as close to production as possible, especially considering the timeframe between when they received them and when the phone is coming out.

Also wouldn't test units want to be close to final hardware? I could understand giving reviewers early software, but hardware seems more finite.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PlanBSTi:
Hardware is pretty much done. If they are still messing with hardware its consider as a protoytype not a reviewer unit. I've had some review units before. And it was basically done. Unless i've found a major bug that needs to be addressed they won't change anything.

It's the software. Not having optimized software will cause the phone to be "slow" or a battery drainer.

Hi

I just wish they put the option of attaching a Lanyard. This way you just slip the wrist strap over your wrist and no way can you drop your phone now, it's pretty tried and tested technology :D Seems to me the manufacturers quite like the extra business of replacing users phones that have smashed on the floor! Cameras come with the option, but a phone that we are jabbing at and balancing in our palms while flicking our fingers across it, they don't think to add the option. Once upon a time they did.

Surely preventing a drop is better than trusting a flimsy bumper.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DroidDavi:
Hopefully there is some sort of bumper that gives more protection. I want the back of the phone to be out .
[Nexus 4 Accessories] springy:
My setup will be to have the bumper on with a front and back screen protector. I think that should offer enough protection and keeping the look of the phone..

to be honest i think i looks better than the iphone... regardless if it looks the same.

Possible it looks to be screwed in. So if you don't completely break your back glass in 60 million pieces then jab something at it. It should be fairly cheap.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
After talking to a couple of reps, they said the orb and cases will be released the same day of the phone. Also, I asked the type of case, and the rep said body glove bumper cases. Sounds interesting....but no word on price from the rep...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aSquard:
That would be VERY cool if they shipped WITH the Nexus 4 (one can only hope, right?)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
Do bumpers really protect the glass from shattering/ scratching or its just for the corners? im really concerned about the back glass shattering and the camera lens scratching because both share the same glass panel :crying:

I'm kidding, well, that's seriously what I believe, but I don't think you reselling a dozen bumper cases is particularly contributing to the problem. :eek:

and the rest of us hate paying 3-5 bucks a gallon of fuel for my car here in the states, they have the supply, and we are demanding it. we pay whatever it costs. it's a simple rule really, and the whole world evolves around it. blame google if anything, there lack of supply, is creating the demand. ticket scalpers, poster scalpers, anyone will buy and flip something if it has a high demand and low supply. this is economics. every business you walk into, paid less for their device, and sell it for more.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Dan37tz:
Even then, that's about $15 profit for each. Potentially even more if bidding goes higher.

If he made $15 bucks each on the 15, that's a nice $225 for maybe 5 minutes of work. Just print new shipping labels and slap them on the packages as they arrive from Google, then off they go to their new owners.

Wish I could make $225 for 5 minutes of work. =) I envy the man.
