I got the official bumper and had it on for 1 day... It added too much bulk to the phone and caused build-up of grime/dust around the edges. I'm pretty sure a couple grains of sand or something got under the front border and scratched the chrome finish; definitely not worth almost $30($20 + tax + shipping) on the Play store. Sold it on eBay within 48 hrs of receiving it and have 0 regret.

Every case has it's ups and downs, I'm just gonna rock a SGP dual protector for now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Got my case today! Not much to say, but definitely a nice fit, not too much width added, power and volume buttons covered, holes for microphone, headphone jack, etc line up well. And thy greys are definitely darker than the renders on their sites.

Any questions just ask. If you want pictures they'll be from a 5mp shooter on my droid 2.

Does anyone who has this bumper by any chance have a diztronic or rearth able to compare the width between them? I'm hoping it's similar to diztronic as the official bumper while beautiful made my phone to wide
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:
I would like to see a photo to see how thin it is compared to the OEM bumper..

---------- Post added at 01:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------

+1. I'm curious to know if the width feels similar to the ringke slim or if it still feels wide like the LG bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Elsydeon:
Somebody wanted an opinion of which of the two we'd want to use, I just gave my own honest opinion which one I'd use based on what I saw. The poster of the pics mentioned the LG bumper as being the same thing, I'm just pointing out areas where they're not the same to interested parties. Some people are probably just sitting there waiting to pull the trigger on one or the other, in cases like that, every little opinion helps, positive or negative. I know I was on such a fence prior to the pics. What is raining on your parade may have in turn saved somebody else their money.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] minotauri:
I have the LG Case and I have the poetic one coming tomorrow and will post my comments if I have time. The LG case looks a lot better imho given these photos on here, and the thickness looks pretty much the same. I dont think it adds all that much bulk to the phone at all especially compared to any other case, and I have 3 other cases...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
if you had both it would be more valid. your speaking from a single standpoint which isn't what was asked really.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ssskom:
LG is fat...Ive seen it...and by fat I mean its wider. This is slimmer as its the width of a regular TPU case. Well of course you cant compare it with an ultra thin case like rearth...which doesnt protect the top and bottom bezels like this case does.

This one protects the areas where it needed the most (at least for me) which are the four corners & the bezels. As for the back and front glasses, Im using SGP protectors...good enough as long as the glass doesnt land on pointy surface.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
For those of you who wanted pictures... wasn't sure what to take, so just did the sides, front back, etc. One again the photos were taken with my Droid 2 which is only 5mp
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
nice thanks for the pics, this is the gray/black one? does it seem like it will last, i mean is there any of the plastic part peeling from the rubber?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
Yep its the Poetic gray/black one. There isn't any peeling, but it's day one so I'll update if anything happens. All in all, great case for the money.

My Poetic arrives tomorrow according to UPS. Much faster than original estimate from when I ordered on Dec. 9th. They said after the new year, but it will be here tomorrow! I will post a pic and give you my opinion on build and looks.

They are. Probably just a typo or the common UPS is USPS misconception :rolleyes:

A couple pages back some people gave a quick review on them. Looks pretty good overall
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ianm:
Thanks for pointing out that they are finally up for ordering, but it appears your links are broken. Found them easily enough by searching for them though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
actually saw UPS delivering today just now (neighbor ordered stuff)

edit: seems no one has addressed this but how do the buttons feel on the bumper?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] tawfiqmp:

Can anyone measure the OEM bumper?

People say the OEM is too wide feeling, but their tech specs say the dimensions are:

133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm, 20g

The Poetic I measured were:

width is 71.5mm, thickness is 11.5mm, measured with digital calipers. Weight is only 8g.

So, a lot less weight, but would be noticeably "wider" and over 2mm taller/thicker than the OEM one.

Can anyone chime in with accurate measurements/weights on the OEM one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xdviper:
I hope so, but its coming from CA and to get all the way to the East coast within a couple days within USPS first class mail system, it'd be a record. Let us know if you get yours in NJ, then maybe NY has a chance too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nizi123:
I just received my Poetic Bumper case, and i like it very much. It looks a lot nicer than the pics on Amazon, as the other users have said. The lip on the back is a little to thick i think but then again, it'll protect the back better when setting it down. All in all, for $6, this is one of the best cases i've bought. Also came in some pretty nice packaging.

*There is a big issue for some though. I have a Full Body Invisible Shield on my Nexus 4. And yes, it does push the edges of the screen protector and make it bubble. The Invisible Shield is edge to edge, covers almost the whole screen, and it is starting to bubble. The right side for me is bubbling more because it is a little off center towards the right. I know this will be annoying to some. I have to send my Nexus back and get a replacement because it has stopped responding to touch inputs so i'll be taking the Shields off anyways and won't be putting one on the new one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:
I don't see how they can claim the OEM bumper to be the same thickness as the phone itself. It obviously isn't since it adds a lip to the front and back.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 PM ----------

[Nexus 4 Accessories] jltyler:
Got mine today ordered weeks ago and it just what I was looking for very minimal and feels good.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Look at page 9.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FishFan319:
Adding here:

It's nicer than the amazon pictures let on because it's darker; looks a bit more professional, less evident in the two tone design. It covers zero of the back text on the bottom, and has a natural look, is snug not easy enough to pop on and off. The rubber on the back grips a table well, little slippage. The buttons press easily, possibly even more easily than without the case.

I dislike the word POETIC on the side of the bumper with the cross design, but this thing more than gets the job done
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Will do, I also have plans for a video. :)

I got mine in today and it definitely doesn't play well with certain screen protectors. As soon as I put it on it peeled up my BSE back screen protector. Other than that it's a decent bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] BR_Impulse:
Mine says a shipping label was created as of Dec 23rd, but mine's being shipped to Canada via USPS First-Class Mail International so I have no idea when I'll actually get it since it apparently says that "no tracking is available for this item". I ordered it from the eBay link as the amazon.com one didn't offer shipping outside of the US. Any other Canadian buyers here order from eBay?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ManOnTheMoon:
By far one the best decisions I made buying this. I love it. This case makes the phone seem like it has an edge to edge display. So glad I bought this. I can't stress that enough. I would Highly recommend you buy it.

Care to post pic of the height of the case on the front side? most people post pics of the case height on the back...just wondering how high the case is above the front screen. Also, does it cover the curved edges on the sides?...from reading your comment, it seems that it doesnt (?) Thanks

the LG case, imho, looks better and feels better, but the poetic case is definitely slimmer and is still quite a solid case, and i would totally recommend it, especially for the price point.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
After using both the official bumper and the poetic I really notice the thickness of the official bumper. The poetic bumper feels nicer in the hand, but I doubt it will do much to protect the phone in a serious drop. The buttons are the same as you would find on a TPU case, but feels better then the S-line TPU case if you used that one, not quite as mushy. It looks better then the pics on the amazon website, the grey isn't as light. The fit is really good, the front lip overlaps part of the glass though, where the slight curve is. I took my screen protector off, otherwise it would probably push against it or sit on top of it.

I really cant stand using a case on a cell phone, I'll be okay with a bumper though. I'll probably switch back and forth between these two bumpers for now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] irishrally:
I got the poetic bumper on the 22nd and it is a great alternative for the official bumper. I really can't decide which one I like more. The official bumper looks higher quality and has a better finish The poetic is slimmer, feels better in the hand and has more grip. The poetic looks slightly better when looking straight down at the front of the phone, the way it hugs the front edges around the screen. The poetic is more round and the official has sharper angles and flat surfaces. Buttons feel good on both, better than with no bumper.

If you can't find an official bumper you're not missing much with the poetic.

Depends on what the tool does. When the tool is leaving the bootloader locked then yes you have to unlock it again and flash the custom recovery and flash the desired JB rom

But as far as i can see the tool does it al ....also unlocking the bootloader ... etc etc
[HTC One X] ZeRoWaR:
updating your hboot to newest firmware for jb also means that you can't flash anymore roms based on the older firmware right ? (or atleast means that there will be a lot problems with "older" roms)

can we downgrade the hboot (firmware) at anytime ?
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Thats incorrect ! You can still flash ics roms on the newer hboots. No problem at all !

There are some cases with aosp roms that require a different boot.img, and that gps doesn't work.

Downgrade of the hboot is impossible unless you have a s-off phone. And that is most unlikely

I am awaiting the arrival of a brand new ASUS Transformer TF700.I have read almost 90% of the issues,pros and cons with this tablet.This has thrown me for a loop and as an IT student I don't think one should have to be on a constant lookout for such an expensive item.Fortunately for me the tablet comes with a 14day return for money .I am not even going to open it,I am thinking of replacing it with the NEXUS 10. I am really afraid of taking a chance with such a tablet that can go defective at any time.There is no telling just how good the NEXUS 10 is,but from initial reports its better than gambling on the Infinity.What are your views on this ? Is the Infinity worth the stress ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Clegs:
If you don't want the Infinity than get the Nexus. They are two different products for different purposes and use cases.
[Asus Transformer TF700] C4RB1N3:
It is all a matter of personal preference.

I owned the Infinity for 3 months before selling it. During that time, I exchanged it twice thinking I kept getting a defective tablet, because each one was slow, sluggish and had the occasional screen flicker. Not to mention the bad I/O. Another thing that bothered me is, most of the apps I used, and games I played, even YouTube, looked really washed out. I kept it until the JB update to see if it would make the tablet any better, but it didn't(to me anyway it felt more sluggish after). From day one of owning the tablet, I tried pretty hard to convince myself that I like the tablet, but after a while I gave up, and decided to sell it.

I bought the Nexus 10 when it launched, and from the moment I got it, I loved it. It's smooth, it's fast, the screen is awesome, and it feels real comfortable to hold. The front facing stereo speakers are also pretty cool, they sound great, and they can get pretty loud. All the apps that I used on the Infinity look way better on the Nexus 10.

This is just my personal opinion and preference though. It all depends on what you are going to use it for, and what you prefer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ologn:
I have owned the tf700 for about a month.

This is a fact. The read/write speed to the internal flash is really slow. To overcome this problem you will need to unlock and install a custom ROM/APKs. This will void your warranty.

It's not that the tf700 is unusable with slow flash IO, instead it makes the user experience so very aggravating.

Also waiting for Nexus 10 to come to my country and most probably its bye bye to my infinity then.

User experience just isnt what it should be. I also have ipad and even if I hate itunes and iOS I must say that the performance is so much better. And I am talking about the very first ipad.

You could think that there is something very badly wrong with Android but I also own Samsung Note 2 and there the performance is perfect. Also what i have tried some Samsung tablets they are smooth also. I just dont want lo-res screen on tablet so will try Nexus 10
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:

[Asus Transformer TF700] aznmode:
I just got a nexus 10 and a week old tf700 and the user experience on the n10 is far better than the tf700. Everything just works and hardly any lag. I'm not sure how an unlocked tf700 compares though. Where the n10 fails for me is the lower contrast level of the n10. Black arent as black either. And the lack of kb with extended battery. I'm not sure which to keep.
