Im glad you guys are stating that they respond within 2 days. Ive gone as far as to stop using my nexus 4 and back to my iphone. I need protection for my nexus.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Wow I couldnt use an iPhone knowing i have a N4 but I get why u are doing it. Thus phone is not half as fragile as people make it out to be. When i first got it I was afraid to even set it on the table but it's not a fragile baby. I feel so much better having screen protectors on both sides and a case though. They regions very fast they got great customer service

LG Bumper Riddance

I see that many of you'll prefer the Poetic Bumper to the LG Bumper.

But, I like the original bumper so anyone interested in getting rid of their original bumper to me, please contact me and I shall buy it from you :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] MrKaupo:
Got mine today. I like it. Feels great in the hand. Any ideas how to know if its 2nd batch? Maybe by number?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
I emailed poetic on Amazon asking if there was a revised version that fixed the peeling issue. Told them my bumper wasn't separating but just wanted to know if the issues had been fixed. Got a reply only a couple of hours later saying yes, they have fixed the issue and that they are sending me out a new one. And I get to keep the one I have now. That's great customer service! I was just going to buy one as a back up just in case something did happen to the one I have now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
why would you when yours case with 3yr warrenty? lol just keep in contact with them, their great customer service will take care of you!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
Yeah, that's true. Keep forgetting about the 3 year warranty. Was just thinking of a back up just to have, not just in case something happened to the one I have now. But no matter, they are sending me a revised one even without anything being wrong with the one I have now. Pretty awesome!

Dear Buyer,

Thank you for your interest in our products.* Unfortunately, we do not have any current plans to make a black/black bumper case.* Sorry we could not be of more help.* Please let us know if you have further questions.

From the review pic on Amazon,

it looks like there are 2 kinds of grey?

Is it true or just the difference of photo quality?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] MFoged:
Just recieved my Poetic Bumper.

To me, it actually looks a lot better in hand than on the pictures. Tight fit and both back and front is being lifted a little over the surface.

Things I would like to change about it is that i kinda looks cheap from some angels. Also I do not really like that glossy finish. However I might be able to do something about the finish myself.

Nevertheless, I am satisfied with this product but I will probably buy the original bumper if it is ever going to be possible.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Evil_munki:
Received my Poetic Atmosphere case and overall I'm really happy with it and people have reviewed it thoroughly.

One problem though which has been mentioned by other users - there are two stress or 'stretch' marks on the edge of the speaker and camera cut-outs.

Not really happy with this as it seems these may grow over time - I intend to clean the case every now an then so I don't want a crack forming. I've sent them an email and hopefully it's an initial production issue or something. It's strange the marks are there before I applied the case, it's as if the case had some pressure or bending to cause the marks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lakino:
Interesting. The phone for me is much more fragile than it's made out to be. Second day of owning the N4, it slipped out of my hands when I was answering a phone call. Landed on a bench in a gym (playing indoors volleyball) and the glass cracked. 2nd day. A decent phone but the stupidest design. For an Andriod phone, why did they want to copy the iPhone 4 so badly? Glass back. check. No removable back. Check. No memory expansion. Check. In every aspect, it's a wanna be iPhone 4 with a bigger screen. Protection for the N4 is absolutely necessary otherwise it's just time before the glass back will be cracked. Given that protection is a requirement--not optional--the design of bevel down edge glass is kind of useless as well. You can't use that feature when you have protection on--which is mandatory and all the time.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Lol iPhone copy OK man whatever u say. :rolleyes: so if it had a plastic back it would be a Samsung clone too? I love every aspect of this phone and it in no way resembles an iPhone. So because of the glass non removable back and no memory expansion its just like an iPhone (just the 4 and 4s BTW have glass backs) what about the other hundred design and specifications do any of those count or just the the 2 u mentioned. Hmm no buttons under the screen, its not iOS, it can be rooted, i can go on and on all day but im not going to. Wow:rolleyes:

This phone was based off the Optimus G. Hence the glass front and back. There were also a few devices shown off at CES with glass front and back. Honestly if you're careful with your device you're not going to break it case or no case. Phones aren't meant to be dropped so don't drop them. You also knew it was made of glass before you bought it so you should have been aware of the potential of shattered glass. I personally like the glass front and back and have no complaints about the design.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] stormtroopercs:
"In every aspect, it's a wanna be iPhone 4 with a bigger screen" just wow.. OK you guys! if it looks anything like an iphone then it's a wanna be!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jacmert:
If you buy through eBay (as a Canadian), does Poetic still deal with you with warranty and customer support just the same as ordering through Amazon (it's not available on Amazon.ca)?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Lakino:
anything? ah, try as close to a replica as possible without infringing on Apple's design patents. The Nexus 4 is definitely a iPhone 4 wanna be with a bigger screen. If you disagree, fine. I'm entitled to my opinions as much as you are.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

BS. It's a stupid design pure and simple--likewise for Apple's iPhone 4's glass black. Stupid design and Apple corrected their design mistake with their iPhone 5. LG was stupid for trying to copy Apple with the glass design. It doesn't matter how careful YOU are, others will invariably drop it and crack the glass. Stupid design period! I knew it was a stupid design before buying it and now I can confirm it's a stupid design. 2nd day the glass cracked.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
They should of used tempered glass like Sony did for their xperia z.That would be more durable.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] kcbboy:

I believe this sentence pretty much backed up what I previously said. Apple didn't correct anything. If anything the correction should have came on the 4s. They just decided to go with different materials to change up the look on the iphone 5. It wasn't a pure decision of "correction." Don't blanket everyone and say we'll all break our phones. You broke yours. That's all on you pal. Millions of people bought the iphone4/4s regardless so I don't think they were really bothered by the glass back. Instead of complaining about this glass phone go buy something made from plastic.

I heard that bottom TPU lip on the atmosphere was the negative aspect on the iPhone one. Is that true?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] il buono:
Mine has held up good. Over time I can see where it could start get messed up after coming in/out of pockets or if the phone is regularly removed from it to clean any particles that got between the phone and the case. I don't think this will be an issue on the nexus 4 though because it looks like the bottom section is built differently since there's only the micro USB port and mic to deal with.

Edit:

I just hope it's not such a pain to remove like the iPhone 5 version. It's the tightest fitting case I've ever had on a phone. Good or bad depending on how you look at it.

If the grey and black bumper ends up looking hideous on my Nexus I might just spray paint it matte black and see how it looks.

Because you actually just EXPECT your phone to be dropped...

It's the gun argument all over again: the gun itself holds no power, but the person himself shoots (and kills 28 kids). The phone wont jump off by itself and break itself, rather, the user is clumsy and drops it. Personally, I have never dropped my smartphone from above 3 feet and there has never been damage on any of them.

Yours dropped because of you. Stop blaming the OEM and needing a case. For once in your life be mature and take the blame, say it was my own actions that caused it to drop and break.

---------- Post added at 10:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

You may be entitled to your opinions, but you did not have to come in and start complaining about your phone like some overgrown 7 year old.

So you are saying if you dont break the phone, your friends will take it and break it for you? Its not a stupid design; its a stupid user. Apple didnt correct anything. Why did they make the 4S with the same design? As the poster above me said, the i5 is made with aluminum for a premium design.

You really need to stop blaming an OEM for something of your own doing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] stormtroopercs:
What I don't understand is why people criticize Samsung for making plastic phones and talk about how bad the designs are and then a phone is made that feels premium (nexus 4) and people criticize LG saying it's a stupid design and breaks too easily! That makes me believe that there is no perfect design and never will be... Also why do people come to the nexus 4 forum just to bash it???
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dirtyhamster73:
What happened to make the glass crack? You dropped it? It didn't jump out of your hands, right? "2nd day glass cracked" says nothing about the build quality, it only says you dropped your phone. I've had the N4 since 11/27, my back hasn't cracked, because I haven't dropped the phone.

And I were to drop it that doesn't mean it will crack.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea I agree I work in an industrial setting and have had my same rev10 Sexy Nexi since Thanksgiving. Shes pristine not one mark I could sell mine as one week owned which I will never do. Why? Because I'm cautious and you know what my phone is naked or just bumper 59% of the time. Your just upset cause you dropped it I bet u weren't saying its an iPhone copy when you ordered this pure bred. Here's the thing I know my phone phone has a glass back so when in at work or at :beer: I put her sexy lil @$$ into a case.

Hopefully I can get my Poetic Bumper soon. It was shipped from San Francisco on December 28th and I still haven't received it yet. I know Canada Customs is slow, but this is getting kind of ridiculous already. Purchased the item on Ebay, how long would you guys/gals suggest I wait until I contact the seller? I know it isn't his issue since it was shipped on time, but not sure how long a wait I should be expecting.

Sucks even more because I had to pay for shipping. Getting items from China take less time and shipping is free. Grrr.

I got my bumper on Dec 24th or so, the front grey part came off about 2 days later, emailed them and they sent me a replacement. Replacement lasted a week and then peeled off...

Blue Poetic Bumper

The bumper finally arrived today! I can't say that I'm not satisfied I find that the power button is actually more responsive with the bumper on. I'm just hoping that the bumper I received is part of the second batch of bumpers. I also like to add that I am currently using a Xtreme Skins wrap for my phone. With careful hands I was able to install the bumper without peeling off the protective skin.

As promised here are pictures of the blue poetic bumper.

the picture is not the teal/gray that they currently have it. It seems pretty well build, so far I am not seeing the peeling problem some

people are reporting. Not sure if its a different improve batch or not. The side is a little more slippery than the s wave TPU case since it isn't textured tho.

Just wanna share my experience with this bumper and company. I bought it from amazon and received well ahead of schedule. It fit perfectly but since I ordered the ringke slim case as well, I would switch off every now and again. The bumper split in certain areas(top right and bottom). I contacted them on their site explaining what happened and they replied in a few days and agreed to send me a replacement, no questions asked and let me hold on to the now superglued bumper. Shipping was fairly quick considering I live here in Hawaii..

Overall a great experience from them..
