Yes it is a bit squished from shipping. I don't mind it though.

Just wondering, does your replica fit perfectly? I think mind is a bit too big (by ~0.25mm), on the top and bottom.

Whenever I grip the bumper from top and bottom, it exhibit a slight creaking sound.

I'm open for suggestions to remedy this.

When I tried it on, I didn't notice any fit problems. Of course, it was only for a short while so I could have missed out on this. I'm using the crystal clear case now, will use it until the scratches get too numerous before I ditch it for the bumper/another case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ngy:
I just received my bumper from innumerabilis as well! Everything arrived in good condition, so thanks a lot! Customs added an extra week though, not innumerabilis' fault.

On another note, does anyone have a official and a replica, and can compare them for me? I was just wondering how the TPU material is compared to the official one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elzafir:
Mine has a slight fitting problem. There seems to be a really small gap between the bumper and the phone.

It made the bumper a bit "squishy" if I apply a little bit force it from both sides, specially from top and bottom.

Does your's exhibit this behavior too?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chrisnk204:
Look through the thread about 6 ppl have done this already pictures and all
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ngy:
I don't have that squishy problem. Everything seems snug.

I'm not talking about pictures or look. I'm talking about touch and feel. My TPU seems rather hard and plasticy, compared to my old TPU cases, which have a softer, rubbery feel, and no i'm not talking about silicone.

Sorry for the delay in replying, but here are the comparisson pics between DXBOX and official LG bumper:

Top one is DXBOX.

Left is DXBOX.

Left is DXBOX.

Left is DXBOX.

As you can see the black material is not as fine as on the LG official. The replica is also much more flexible than the official one. All in all you can tell the difference in quality from the "feel" of the LG one compared to the DXBOX. While it looks almost official, it is in NO WAY official.

I feel kind of ripped off from them and won't be buying anything from them again (since they claimed this was "official").

I'm glad in the end I decided to buy the official one, as it feels pretty solid on my phone whereas the DXBOX felt loose.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] vodred:
Is there any store link with a low priced white bundper?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
@ zhuozhi211

Sorry your post wont let me quote it for some reason.

Its the same exact material that the original is made out of. I mean they feel exactly the same and they look dead on too. I was comparing my original black one to my replica black one and I could easily get them mixed up. As far as getting dirty its a white case so it may get dirty but it doesn't have that soft feeling to it so I think it will be more stain resistant than a regular white cheap case. Anyways pm me if interested I still have 1 white bumper left

I second you question.

If you look at this video right here, the black rubber part is definitely looks like either TPU or silicon. Very flexible.

[YOUTUBE]15UvUSy6K38[/YOUTUBE]

My replica is more of a hard plastic.

Everybody who has replicas from various sources, how is your bumper? Is your black rubber part hard or soft?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Mine feel exactly like the original IMHO. I wouldn't be able to tell its a replica by the feel of it or by just looking at it. The original doesn't feel like normal soft tpu either.

I guess I'd have to compare to the original side by side to be sure. I'd probably buy the original once it's released in Indonesia, which would not be for some time, I'm sure.

If someone who has an original and a taobao replica could make a video review, it would be super!

Eh, but might as well enjoy my good looking replica bumper for the time being than continue to worry about authenticity. Cheers bro!

All right guys, let's hear what the seller has to say about the loose-fitting of the replica bumpers. This applies to those bought from me and DowntownJeffBrown, and not Dx-box/shenit/other companies.

Unfortunately I can't embed youku videos (or maybe I just don't know how to), so you'd have to click it. It doesn't have English subtitles, so here's a quick translation by me. If you have time, do watch the short video. It demonstrates the form-fittingness of all 3 bumpers.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I can support this view. My original LG bumper fits the same as my replicas. In fact I like the fit and feel of my white replica better. My original over time got "broke in" and now fits perfect. I expect my replica to do the same and over time. Everyone has their own opinion on things like this but not everyone has both the original and replica to compare.

i have both the original and the taobao replica, the replica fits freakin great. even better like the video demonstrates. not trying to just take innum's side, but my original LG bumper patrudes on the bottom where it goes around the charging port and the replica does not. it's fine everyone. trust me

and i can't wait to get my white one from jeff, damn that pic made it look awesome. all my friends have the black/silver so i can't wait til mine looks different lol

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Duuuude:
Thanks for the advice! I asked for a $15 refund (paid $26) via a PayPal dispute, citing that the product was a fake and claimed as real. The fake silver coloring on my bumper looks like it is coming off after a week as well.

The next day, they refunded me the $15. :highfive:

Some people mocked that I speak like Huang Bo 黄渤 (a China actor, Golden Horse award winner) and I sing in the style of Xin Tian You 信天游*.

* I'm not too sure whether he said 信天游, but if he did, it is a kind of Shanxi local melody/folksong popular in China's Northwest. It is known for its "old-fashioned" way of singing and high pitch notes; for the younger generation, it is not a positive thing to be compared to.

The communication by dx-box is terrible. They never answer any question directly and skirt around the issue. The bumper itself is a pretty good replica but when its side by side with the real one the differences will be apparent. For me I think the replica is worth 1/2 as much but for the current price difference I'd recommend the real deal.

thanks to DowntownJeffBrown for the white bumper case!

the only issue i have with it is that it feels like plastic rather than rubber. not sure if the official case is like that, but it does make it feel like it'll slip out your hands easier.

regardless, this replica fits nicely on my Nexus 4 and the white sets it apart. :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:

To me they feel the same both the replica and the OEM. That's why everyone was talking about the "hard" rubber with the LG bumpers.

I thought the ones you got were from qspades (the seller) on the Taobao site. The ones from buychina are the same ones.
