Well it says ships in one to teo weeks mine is coming in 3 days so its like i ordered for express shipping. $19.99 plus tax and shipping wouldnt be that much cheaper anyway right?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] plasticdarlow:
I just ordered on from Google play. I'm sure the one from Dx Box is fake, so I will file a claim with Paypal and return it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lexcyn:
So Google Play in Canada has real bumpers in stock so I ordered one, but I also have a replica coming from DX-Box (tracking number is working, arrived in Canada yesterday, should be here soon).

Most likely going to sell the replica and keep the real version if anyone wants to buy it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Well, looks like the bumper is back in stock on Google Play Store

Shipping is 1-2 weeks..sigh
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yyz71:
Arrived in Canada Already?? Mine was ordered on dec 19:confused: Just tracked the shipment stated it left hong kong jan 28..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] smirkis:
the playstore doesn't have white, so i'm still glad i ordered one from jeff. gonna hand out these bumpers to all my friends, they should be thrilled lol

That is pretty sketchy lol... my tracking says "Arrived in destination country (Canada)"

I'm trying to cancel my shenit order but they aren't replying to my emails do they not check the amazon email does anyone know if there's another email address I can try?

It was $28 after tax+shipping from play store. It may not be worth the time to go thru with cancelation, etc, but its up to you
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chrisnk204:
Yea i figured that. wateva man at least i finally got my bumper. I wanted to buy a poetic boarderline one but it doesnt look as high end and i heard it breaks apart due to cheap adhesive. And the guy i ordered from on ebay has more in stock he answered my email within minutes and said hes shipping my bumper today should be here by the first

Has anyone from the US got their tracking number working from DX-BOX? I didn't pay the extra for a tracking number so I'm wondering if anyone else's bumper has arrived in the states yet. I ordered back on DEC 19th
[Nexus 4 Accessories] v.real:
DX-BOX has the WORST service! I ordered a bumper from them on Dec 18, on Jan 7 they updated my order as shipped (when I was already expecting the bumper to be delivered), and provided with tracking number, which showed no tracking info at all when entered at HK Post website. I still haven't received my bumper until today, and after contacting them several times, I finally opened a PayPal claim yesterday. They responded to PayPal with a tracking number showing that they shipped my order on Jan 28 (yesterday)!!!

At this point, I don't believe a word they promise, and don't recommend ordering anything from them!

Just got the bumper in today from the eBay seller. Pretty disappointed he lowered the price right after I got it and also the fact that its back in stock on the play store. The case seems to be legit from the packaging. The bumper also feels great, though its kind of weird the top and bottom chrome bezels are visible. I love how it looks and how the matte, slightly textured TPU feels.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
My Authentic Lg Bumper shows a little bit of the bezel too. I think they all do that but I still think the bumper looks like part of the phone. I see it but I know its a bumper and its there. But every time I take it off in front of someone they are like I thought that was part of the phone. It looks really good this style case is so much better design. I've had 3 poetic bumpers split on me.:banghead:

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Yeah I was kind of skeptical on what the bezel was showing whereas my poetic one was pure black which is one thing I liked about it as well as its less bulky. Case looks really nice though. I notice that the sides of the bumper aren't really tight and you can push it in and it moves but it's secure.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] driftmania:
Lol I remember reading in this thread ahead of time to that the bezel shows, but when I first put it on I thought the lip was stuck on the top and bottom. :p

The way they styled the sides of this phone to look like the S3 was also a nice touch, plus I can find the buttons easier than before.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
The buttons feel amazing with this bumper even better than the actual N4's buttons Lol.

Is that right? I ordered stuffs from Deal Extreme many times before. It does take a long time but they show up eventually. One thing I don't care much for is they required signature. Since I'm at work when the mailman came, I have to make a special trip to the post office, stand in line to pickup my package.

---------- Post added at 03:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 AM ----------

It's just a bumper, who care if it's fake. Holo sticker or not, it does look like the real thing. If China can make an Android phone thinner than the iPhone 5, I'm pretty sure they can make a decent bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lloda2000:
not too bad:cyclops:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Its okay if it is fake, but not in this price
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Geauxn:
I received my Poetic case today. Love it so far. I have film on the front and back of my phone for extra protection, so mine won't get scratched even if dirt is caught in between the phone and case as someone else said.

With this being one of the few that allows the back of the phone to be seen or uncovered, I'm very happy with this case and am done case shopping unless something new and incredible comes along.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
But how would you make the difference, if you haven't seen both?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I don't really care. If the fake and real are the same price then I rather place my bets on the real one as the one from dx box takes ages to ship. What if you order one from dx box then three days later, the official bumper goes back in stock?

They could of easily downloaded a picture and put their watermark logo on the picture. It's not that difficult. If anything, they can make the shipping come in a regular plastic bag and say it's bulk packaging.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
For me it changes nothing, I can't order things from play store to Poland yet (I was lucky getting phone from US so fast). If that case is really cheap piece of s##t I'll send it back and try to order poetic one (ordering it here is not easy and not much cheaper though)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
That sucks man. The developer of PGM is from Poland as well. Hopefully Google gets to expand the play store to Poland. No friends in nearby countries who could order for you? Probably not available right this second but for the next wave.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
@innumerabilis

wow, man, good job :) but that seller on taobao has nothing in common with dx-box. Or maybe he and that shop have the same source. If that replica is really 1:1 copy I can live with that. It's google and lg's fault.

Maybe I could find someone but right now I don't have a good friend in UK or Germany to bother him with my bumper problems ;) Even if there was someone I would have to pay about 28$ (bumper + shipping) and additional shipping fee to Poland. All in all it's too much effort to buy a simple piece of cheap plastic...

As I mentioned before, I'll send it straight to Ray so he could use it on his nexus 4 replica if it's that bad ;) Poetic case is not pretty enough for my taste and I want to have smile on my face everyday when I look at my nexus and not be frustrated with stupid grey case. If only n4 had simple back side I would use normal full case, but I don't want to hide that nice pattern ;) (first world problems etc, you know ;))
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I said the same thing about the Poetic case. It looks a lot better in person, the grey is very dark but I agree with you though, it would of been better if it was black/black or similar to the LG bumper. Maybe if you're lucky you can possibly snatch one off of eBay from a European seller or something?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
I ordered 2 from DX.. Hope they are good quality.

Its gonna take ages to ship to Poland for sure.

If someone of you got one please give some impressions.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] badlucktk:
After watching a youtube review of the bumper, I'm going to pull the trigger on this one. I'm currently a pretty basic tpu case that I snagged off of Amazon. It gets the job done, but the all tpu feel of the case just leaves something to be desired anytime I pick up my phone. I need a new screen protector too, I have the Skinomi or whatever it's called and it just won't stop from bubbling because it goes over the curved edge of the screen. Plus, I suck at installing them and it has a lot of debris under it and I'm tired of looking at it. :crying:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
If that poetic case was whole black I would order it when it was available for pre order in lesser price. I saw youtube reviews and I agree that in real it looks much better then on those horrible pictures on ebay, but still it could be better.

The worst thing is that right now grey/black poetic bumper is sold by one seller from USA and he doesn't ship to Poland. Poetic prepared many new colors but I want to vomit when I see those color cases...

---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 PM ----------

It's said that it should be here in 7-15 days and I chose air mail with tracking number (+2$) so it's not that bad considering that those are terms for almost whole world ;)

By the way, I cannot resist to write that there is a great irony here because if I accidentally brake glass on the back side (God forbid) due to long shipping and delivery time I'll have to order completely new full armor case which will cover that broken glass...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
man, dont expect it within a month...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
Bearing in mind that our friend Ray told us that case is going to be shipped 3rd January and I ordered it 24th December it's quite realistic that I'll wait almost 1,5 month for stupid case... Oh Google, it's ubelievable what have you done...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
They definitely messed up the launch for the holiday season for sure. Phone could of been a huge seller like the S3.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
No, not if they show the LG-style package in the picture.

As for the rest of your post: That's exactly my point! A holographic logo would prove nothing to you or me, because we wouldn't be able to tell if it's the real one or not.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
How would you know if it meant nothing? Do you have both of them next to you? No. It's like saying, you can't tell the difference between a real dollar bill and a fake one. You can. Otherwise they wouldn't of put a standard holo sticker.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Sinocelt:
No, and that's exactly my point. Without the real one at hand to compare, how could I know the fake one is fake?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
That's odd why they didn't reply. Did u email them thru amazon us?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:

Hi All,

For those who have both poetic and original bumper, does the double price of the original worth it? I heard the poetic are not so bad
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I have an original and poetic. But the lg one is just better quality. It looks to me as if it belongs on the phone because it was build by lg to be sold as an official accessory.

The poetic one would be not bad if the design was better quality. They split In between the two separate materials. I've had 3 split on me already so I gave up on poetic bumpers.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
I dunno, I tend to have another experience. My poetic case is still the first one I received and is a rev1 without any problems. I will admit that it is separating on the bottom part if I was to lift it. But if I don't, it's fine.

Poetic has really good customer service so either way I wouldn't hate myself for buying one because I'd anything happens they'll just send you a new case in the mail for free no questions asked.

Some Benefits of the poetic case over the LG bumper is that it doesn't show the chrome, less bulky, cheaper.

Some benefits of LG bumper: feels more premium, looks like it's a part of the phone.

Each has its own benefits. To pick one? Hmm, hard choice to be honest. I received the LG bumper two days ago and it's still a hard choice but I'm sticking it out with the LG one to see how I like it.

The one thing poetic has going for themselves is that the case is less bulky and hides the chrome. The sleek black look on the nexus looks amazing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
As I said the poetic one wouldn't be bad if it didn't separate and that the lg one is just better quality. U know I rated the poetic bumper #3 on my favorite cases as u are the one that asked me. But I've now had my black bumper split 2 times and my yellow one 1 time. I'm still waiting one my replacement yellow bumper. Oh yea also poetic sent my most recent black bumper in a plastic bag and it was used with scratches all over it.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
What are you doing exactly that it splits? I take my poetic case pretty carefully when I do plan on cleaning it. I did notice that I had scratches on my Poetic when I first received it, was weird but wasn't that big of a deal. I mean, at least they're sending free replacements. Some people dont have theirs split, some do, it's just a matter of luck I guess.

It's a 50/50 for me. I'd say LG bumper over Poetic now that it's in stock. Just wished the LG bumper hid the chrome completely :P I love sleek black look on my phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pottersam:
Personally I can't stand the feel of the poetic bumper. Tried the Rev 1 and Rev 2 and I keep going back to the Diztronic TPU since it feels so good to hold. I just ordered the official LG bumper, looking forward to it so I can rock a dbrand skin!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Nothing different than any other case that I've ever used on any phone. They are just a bad design. A cases job is to protect a phone I shouldn't have to baby it.

My not only had scratches covering it but in came in a plastic bag not the usual packaging.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Maybe that's their way of making the shipping cost cheaper. The original packaging came with the first one. Not sure about second as I never needed a second
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Lol my other replacements have been in the original packaging. I've gotten many poetic bumpers for people over seas and have had to get them replacements too and they have all had OEM packaging.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Very weird lol. But yeah they really do need to fully address the problem, I'm sure at this point they're at a loss for replacing so many bumpers just to split again.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] chrisnk204:
Heres the tie breaker which one is better when a screen protector is being used? Or do they both pose threats of lifting the protector?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Ftwisawesome:
If applied correctly you don't need to worry.

I recommend skinomi they are awesome. They sent me like 5 replacements without hassel and their customer service is awesome.

It's only $12 for a front & back and it's easy to apply as well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Both are great with the screen protectors. I think the lg one may be a lil better but not by much. I'll take pics when I get home of the two on my phone of the lip.

The poetic bumper is garbage.

The company strait up lied to me. I asked them if they changed the manufacturing process so the case doesn't fall apart like all the reviews. They said they changed it and addressed the issue. I have had my poetic bumper for three days and the top right corner is coming off.. I can see it becoming completely useless in a couple weeks.

And I didn't even get a change to get the official bumper... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
