Actually, I think the Poetic one has more appeal thanks to price, not availibility If I wanted to spend $20 to protect my phone, Id rather get a full case. $5 to offer small protection while still showing off the beautiful back is two thumbs up and a customer

(Keep in mind I also bought xtremeguard screen protector+skin so I am fully protected)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] swaser18t:
You have a point of the price... In my eyes the Google one just looks better.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
To each his own, I agree the Google one looks better (that metal-like design is very nice), but the Poetic one still has some flare
[Nexus 4 Accessories] burrrcub:
I ordered one but will ordered the official when it becomes official. $6 is negligible.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] frigidazzi:
I'm really surprised no one had had a bumper case out yet since there are a ton of cases. I think I'll try it for 5 bucks.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jordanjay29:
I was going to order one just to see, but then I noticed the in-stock date. Ehh, maybe I'll wait to see if Google's offering comes back in stock before then.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
I'll be purchasing both. :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xdviper:
Damn wanted a case now so I can use it before the new feeling of the phone runs off.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] donkeybat64:
why do people keep saying its $5, its 5.95, which is $6 dollars...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Surge1:
i really wish we could get a draco bumper made for these.....have one for my S3 and it just makes the phone pop.

The poetice case would be fine.. if they offer more color options..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
pop, yes. protect, no. the glass sticks out further then the case does on the iphone version. only good for cartwheels not real drops.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
I guess the marketing strategy works, even if something is .99 you'll feel better about the .99 rather then if it was one cent more. Maybe .95 is even better, people only pay attention to the dollar amount lol

I ordered the Poetic bumper, I'll see how it is and if I don't like it I can just buy the official bumper once it's available.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] the_r2d2:
^ yes, it is very nice!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] rosemachinegun:
I'd be fine with the poetic bumper if it didn't include the ugly gray tone. Gray plastic like that eventually gets pretty dirty and looks terrible. :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SunSDK:
If poetic bumper was available right now I'd get but I'm surprised one one made a TPU bumper.. Gotta be easier than. A full fledged case
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Surge1:
yea they would have to fix that. on the S3 it has a solid lip of space. id say about 3/4 times that of the official nexus 4 bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
But will that actually protect against drops or is it more for show
[Nexus 4 Accessories] agtitan:
I think they forgot about the bumpers...I wonder if it will ever come back for sale
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
it will, the same thing happened to the official nexus 7 cases. sold out on launch day, took week's to get back in stock but when they did there were plenty to go around

Man. Nexus 7 case is such a crap. I regret every second of my life for buying it. That's why I didn't pull the trigger on official bumper during the launch day.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DLFB:
It's a sign that you shouldn't pay $20 for a piece of rubber. Wait for the China copies.

I explained to my girlfriend about this joke (English is her second language), then she came up with "Well I have an idea, get those sponges we just bought, cut a hole in them and there you go, a cheap bumper."

but the bumper case, man is that thing sweet. i was lucky enough to get one on launch day, but the width was throwing all my friends off. as soon as i pulled it off everyone loved the phone. the bumper makes it chunky

[Nexus 4 Accessories] ddenson:
Same experience - love the quality but hate the chunkiness. Also, the fit around the screen is such that dust gets in there constantly and would drive me crazy. Gave it to my son who also has an N4 and everyone's happy.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
For real, they don't know anything all the time...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:

What the hell do you mean that the Official Bumpers are sold out as of 12/2...did they start reselling them and went out of stock again? They haven't been in stock since the 13th...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gagdude:
You know the official bumper isn't actual aluminum, I think it's just a design...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
relax, he just means "as of today" as in "not available today, they are sold out".
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vietn95:
i think he means third party cases like element case or draco :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Seriously, what is with those damn S line cases, they're ****ing everywhere and damned ugly. I'd be happy with a simple clear snap on hard case or even just a completely clear (not frosted or stylized) TPU,
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PaisanNYC:
I agree. Happened with the N7 tablet also when it first came out. Same folio cases over and over from different distributors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
I do meant the 3rd party case. The official bumper does look nice but rubber cases doesn't protect the phone from falls very well. Aluminum cases like Element and other brands absorbs shock a lot better. I'm a quite clumsy person and personally needs this. To me, it adds aesthetic to the device too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
haha seriously, "as of today" means that's when he last checked. Kind of common sense in this situation.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] housry23:
I agree. I can't wait to see them on eBay. After shipping and tax on the play store bumper, the aluminums will be about the same price. I have owned aluminum bumpers for the gnex, s3 and will certainly be buying it for the n4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
I hope the aluminum bumpers don't affect the nexus 4's antennas.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Surge1:
its aircraft aluminum and has enough of a lip. i have one for the S3 and it's done a marvelous job when combined with a skinomi protector. (dropped on concrete a few times from various heights and no scratches period)

also it looks sexy as hell, i get compliments everywhere i go.

got it for 50 on ebay.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] housry23:
I've never had this happen before, but I don't doubt it could. Since bumpers only cover around the edges of the phone, I think it's fairly safe. Just let others buy and report before making your purchase.

There are aluminum bumpers available for order, but they have to be bought in bulk and at least 1,000 have to be ordered. This tells me they should be available on eBay soon. I loved my orange/gold one with chrome buttons on the white Gnex!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
Yeah I expect them to be on eBay too. Some company must have ordered some due to the demand of the bumpers.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
Correct me if I am wrong, but I blv it is not aluminium, just made of plastic with the look of aluminium.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] quahog_convo:
They're talking about actual aluminum bumpers, made by a 3rd party. They've been linked to in this thread already.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hrithan2020:
The one from alibaba where you have to buy min of 1000 qtty [but have said they'll accept 10] and shows nexus 4 bumper pics. If I am not wrong, it is likely to be a look-alike of N4 [ we never know, maybe it be the N4 bumpers itself or look completely different and the pics were just placeholders] in which case it is unlikely that it is aluminium. [Don't trust their description tbh].
[Nexus 4 Accessories] khanh1289:
Xgear, who made N4 tempered glass screen protector, just responded to my email and stated the aluminum case for our N4 are in production; however, he does not have an approximate date we can pre-order. These will be similar to the Fortress 2 for the iphone 5
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
what the heck is that hook on the side, a bottle opener?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
Yes it is. If they make one for the Nexus 4 I will definitely be buying one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dynastyy:
$100 for a case seems pretty steep...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
Yeah, I didn't look at the price before I posted that. I wouldn't pay more than 30 for it.

Just received mine as well, great quality, just not for me I guess. If someone wants to buy it let me know. Also can email me at lpayne@adt.com
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Cwebb03:
Got mine today too, still undecided on how much I'm going to use it. The USB opening is annoying and it does add a bit of extra width and take away from the fronts beauty, but broken glass is even worse
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nilsonf:
I actually like it. It does add extra width but it looks good to me
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lskeys:
Got mine today. It is really nice, can see the back with out a case. I am just waiting on a screen saver for the back, so I can really enjoy. BTW, just a tad bit bulkier.

I'm curious to see how this bumper looks because I'm not 100% happy with the OEM one either.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gqukyo:
Same but it's weird. It's shipped from SF and I live in the bay area but the estimate delivery date is 1/8/13!!! I don't expect it before Xmas though I'd expect it by the 28th at least since i don't even live that far from where it was shipped... :confused:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] gqukyo:
Just received mine yesterday and I'll have to say I'm surprised but in a good way. After the reviews of the OEM bumper, I was afraid that this one would be similar and add considerable bulk but it actually does not, not to me anyway. Came in retail box which was also surprising as I expected just a plastic bag or something similar. The quality is ok, definitely can tell it's not made with top notch materials but again, this is a $6 or so bumper so didn't expect it to be high end. I have since removed my XG screen protector because the Diztronic case didn't play nice w/ it but I may actually put one back on for this bumper. I have yet to put the back protector on as well but naked wise, the bumper is a good fit. Not as tight as I'd like, in fact, it's pretty loose. Could just be mine but unless it's free shipping back for a exchange, I'm not going to waste the shipping money. The buttons are extended far enough that some may not like it but personally it's ok to me. I prefer how it is on the Diztronic tpu case. Going to email them and see how the exchange process works but unfortunately I won't be using this bumper as it is. The extended buttons I can deal with but the sides are too loose for me, especially the volume button side. Even when it's relaxed and left alone you can tell it's protruding out just a tad bit and not hugging the phone tight enough. You really don't need to use any strength at all and u can pull it out a bit, it's not a whole lot but enough to warrant concern. I don't believe it'll get any tighter with use or age... in fact, it might actually become more loose cuz I know for a fact I will be playing with the sides if I do end up using the bumper on a regular basis... :p

In short, if u don't mind spending the $6 or so to try it out, your luck may be better than mine but if they are all like the one I got then I wouldn't recommend this bumper. Full disclosure though, I never played with the OEM bumper so that bumper could be the similar with the loose sides.

Oh I don't want to make it sound any worst than it is but if I was given a choice between using the phone naked or using this bumper, I'd probably use the phone naked as it feels better... but again that's just me... ;)

I don't really write reviews so forgive me if I'm not addressing *your* concerns but I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding the bumper since I have it.

Want to get T-Mobile's monthly4G $30 per month Unlimited web & text with 100 min. talk. First 5 GB at up to 4G speed and use google voice to make and receive calls and want to tether it for free to my laptop.

Is this still possible?

Would I need to root my phone?

Will this work better on some phones then others?

What should I look for in a phone and what's the best phone to get for implimenting this plan?
[Networking] Pennycake:
It sounded good until you said free tethering. Because if you visit related forums, you'll see that they've been shutting that down pretty hard, lately. You can pay them for it and it's still pretty cheap - but dunno if it's worth it for just 5Gb.

I have this plan on the Galaxy S3. Because I'm a cheap jerk. Best phone for you is whatever you want and meets your needs.

You'd have to root your phone to try tethering without paying for it - but it's not something I would count on since they are so quick to shut it down.

Thank you. Just bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Walmart. They made me buy a $50 card with it, said it was their policy with the S2 but I also bought a $30 card, cause I just want the $30 plan. He said I had to activate it with the $50 plan to start, but could change it after the first month, but did not force me to activate in the store. So it possible to activate from the start with the $30 plan?

I haven't paid in a couple months since i only get it when i travel to the US for work. I've had this plan for over a year. It is now the $50/month plan, I guess the price has gone up. I'm surprised my "old" plan didn't grandfathered in. I guess i'm switching to the $3/day since i'm only there a week or two at a time.

30$ unlimited is online only. Therefore you need to buy it online unless you get a rep and have sob story to tell them that you didn't know, I'd like the promo, etc/

[Networking] Pennycake:
Yeah, this plan is for on-line or WAL-MART purchases. You could try to activate it that way, but I'm not sure it will work.

You cannot switch to this plan (new activations only) so it needs to be from the start.

Idan73 has helped me to get Google Now to speak some time ago on the leaked build. It is extremely easy. If you open root explorer navigate to /system/csc/ language.xml. use menu button to open this file in text editor. The 5th or so line down is the languages currently displayed and looks like this......en_CA;fr_CA;kr_KR;........ all you need to do is add en_US to the end of this line and it will activate english (United States) in the settings/language and input tab. Go into phone Settings then Language and inputs and select English United states. Google Now will now speak. Big props to Idan73 for his help.

Obviously you will need root to accomplish this. I used CF-root after updating via KIES. Be sure to thank ChainFire for his work when you visit his thread.

[General Questions and Answers] fox_hound_33:
The documentation for GCM suggests that App registration ids (GCM reg. ids) can be updated anytime by Google. If the App server then tries to push a message to the App it receives what Google calls a canonical id, which is the updated reg. id of the app. The App server is supposed to use this for any future push notification to the App.

Now, my question is this. Does the App need to inform the App server about its new reg. id? Since the App server receives the updated reg. id anyway, is there a need for the App to inform the App server about the updated reg. id?

If my understanding of GCM is flawed, please correct me.

Thanks.
