Jumping in the thread late here, looking for a bumper similar/same as the official one(but cheap!)

Where's the best place to buy, I'm in UK.

There's so many on eBay etc, don't know which to go for!

Cheers
[Nexus 4 Accessories] urinsane:
Just a note that the following bumper does not work well with the Orb charger. First case I've used that it slides right off.

Described as "TPU Gel Cover Case Clear Skin Frame Bumpers Protector For LG Google NEXUS4 E960"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/26130085899...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

It also does not fit well in the upper right corner; for some reason they left this portion unfilled with the clear plastic used elsewhere around the frame. That is a shame, as it is a fairly good $2 case otherwise.

Hey I have a spare real real bumper. I'm willing to ship only in the US. I can give it but all you have to so is pay 5 bucks shipping for priority. Pm me
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ronakchavan:
Jus got the replica bumper and geez it makes the already broad nexus⁴ even more broad. I will use it for few days and see if I can get used to it, if not then I will sell it.

I hate the bumpers really. I wouldn't mind the added width but at least give some better grip. These cases is wide and slick which really sucks.

Not a fan of the glossy finish, wonder if the end product will have it as well.

Also, didn't the original bumper have buttons? Do you know if this one will, or just holes in place of buttons just like in the pics.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
From those pictures it looks like they use some cheap tpu material (like those cheap S case) instead of the similar material of the official.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Power button is what I meant. Not volume keys
[Nexus 4 Accessories] williamj1:
Do we have any final / up to date word on when these might actually become available?

you guys have given me a dilemma, at the moment I'm just using a cheapy TPU case from ebay, because I was waiting for the official bumper. But then I got so fed up waiting for that, I ordered the Poetic one for £10 which isn't bad, and it arrives tomorrow. But then I saw this read, so now I'm all :confused::confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
I'm still hoping that the seller's guarantee that it will be indistinguishable from the real thing holds true. Keep in mind that this is the first test batch; the main purpose is to test the mould and whatever raw materials available were just grabbed - even the colour is off. Perhaps the material will be changed. I really don't know right now. That he rejected the test batch is a promising sign though.

I was considering the Poetic bumper, but reports that it started peeling and flaking made me decide otherwise. :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
I have been using my poetic for a few days. No peeling so far. Finger crossed that it will stay this way.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
Got some pics of the process for you guys!

Translated text from the seller (the over-exuberant use of exclamation marks is his):

First a disclaimer that this is only a test run! There is no colouring, etching or final processing and even for the material we just grabbed whatever is available to save time. There is a significant difference from the final product. The purpose of this post is to let you guys see the form-fittingness of the product and if the position of the holes for the buttons are accurate. I have not forgotten your trust in me and I have not forgotten to pay attention to the details. I am really devoting my time and energy to this; on 11 Jan I will refine the design, match the colours, do the etching, choose the material, etc. In 2 to 3 days' time I will be able to get the real McCoy, indistinguishable from the original or even better!

Next, I wish to apologise to you guys for the delay. I am really sorry to miss the deadline. Everyday someone is chasing me and even scolding me. Of course I feel bad, but helpless. For those who kept supporting me, thank you. I really thank you from the bottom of my heart! Finally today, I can show you some sample photos. Although the finer details are not reflected, you guys can get a rough idea of what it will be like.

Every day from 8am in the morning to 7pm at night, I and my friends as well as the technicians in the factory are busy fine-tuning this.

We used a Dremel to smooth out the mould little by little, with the aim of ensuring a perfect form-fitting snugness. This process alone took us several days...

To make a bumper two moulds are needed, because the inner ring is soft while the outer layer is hard.

This is what the moulds look like when seperated.

This is what they look like when combined.

The wearer of the red shoes is me! I won't reveal my face, so perhaps a pair of shoes will do?

It is now 9pm, and we finally started injecting the mould! I'm feeling really excited! Haha.

After the technicians' series of tries, the very first test batch emerges.

You can see that there are still some differences from the original. I cannot use this. Tomorrow I will refine it more, but the main shape is something like this. Huhu.

In the process there was a small incident - when the outer ring came out, the usb cut out was slanted. When I saw it, I thought "Oh ****!" But the technicians were still so calm. I kept asking why, how, what do we do now. I was sweating all over. But after several adjustments, they managed to fix it and now it is no longer an issue haha!

This supplier seems very dedicated to making this case exactly the same as the original. He's putting all his effort to make it perfect. Since, Google has not yet restocked their own official bumper in over a month, I'm looking forward to this one. Thanks for retrieving all this info.

What's the link again for this replica?

[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
Yeah, I was also struck by his dedication which is a main reason why I decided to order. The link? There's a taobao link in my post, but the seller doesn't ship overseas.

I bought 20 to resell to those who can't don't speak Chinese, can't navigate Taobao and don't have a friend with a local address in China. If you are interested you can refer to http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36478633&postcount=95

That gives me hope :cowboy:

Also, thanks for doing this. (Now what am I going to do with all these diffetent bumpers I bought for just one phone)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
Lol, maybe resell them? I'm also using the Crystal Clear case now as a standby until the bumpers arrive.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jt.61:
Not to be rude or anything, but I found the exact same item from the exact same seller on buychina.com. if you click the taobao link, its the same one you gave me. He does ship overseas. The total is only $16. Here's the link if anyone is interested internationally.

Not sure how the shenit bumper compares to this on amazon until I see a picture on amazon. But this one looks the best so far.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
Such a dedicated worker, what material are these bumpers made out of?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
I was surprised to see this, since last week the seller told me she does not sell overseas. I contacted the seller just now:

(23:06:03):

在buychina這個網站上不是你們在賣嗎?

In buychina's website, are you the ones selling?

小甜豆的幸福生活 (23:06:08):

不是

No.

They are aware there are people masquerading as them:

说一下我自己是自己,绝对和淘宝其它家没有关系,这套模具是我自己开的,其它的我不管,我只管好自己做的东 西的质量。其他任何人都和我没有关系,而且现在全国只有我有这套模具。

Let me say that I who I am, and have absolutely nothing to do with other sellers on taobao. This set of moulds is designed and tweaked by me. I don't care about other sellers, I only care about doing my own product. Other sellers have nothing to do with me, and in the whole of China only I have this set of moulds.

*** End translation***

Point 1: Quality assurance

Perhaps the buychina people are simply reselling the product from 小甜豆的幸福生活. Or perhaps they are masquerading as her to take advantage of her fame, and the products have a different level of Quality Checks. I don't know.

Point 2: Time

Another point to consider is time. 小甜豆的幸福生活 is sending out based on first come first serve. I'm high up on the list while buychina is not (She hasn't even received any orders from them).

Delivery-wise, if you buy from Buychina it takes 10 to 18 days to deliver. From Singapore, it takes 4 - 6 days to reach Australia and 5 - 8 days to reach Indonesia. If you stay in Israel, then perhaps it will take the same amount of time as buychina's.

I am a strong proponent of transparency and will be alerting all who ordered with me of this option, and see if they want to buy from buychina instead. Cheers.

P.S The seller delayed again. She says the soonest she can send the goods is 15 Jan, and it will be 18 Jan before it reaches Singapore. I believe buychina will receive their orders even later than 18 Jan.

P.P.S If you are wondering why I referred to the seller as he, and now she, it is because they are a group of friends. 小甜豆的幸福生活 is a lady. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] disq:
I'm keeping my order. Considering the amount of cheapo N4 cases in the market, paying a few bucks more is not important as long as we get a quality product in the end. I trust that these guys and gals will deliver.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Is that the product from dx?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Trois Maximus:
I ordered the replica from Amazon. Does "Q Spade" have anything to do with the person making these replicas on Amazon?

I'm hoping so. If not then I'd rather order Q Spade's product. Where are people who live in the USA ordering from?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] heat361:
I wonder if they are making the shenit bumper from amazon? When I asked them two weeks ago they said they were still molding.now they said they will post the new pictures this week.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
If you're speaking about the bumpers I ordered from 小甜豆的幸福生活, then no they are not the same.

According to the seller, absolutely not. They don't even want to ship overseas, why would they sell on Amazon?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Did anyone receive his dx-box.com bumper?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mayortheslayer:
I ordered my dx-box bumper on DEC 19th and still haven't received a tracking number. But the website says they are shipping so maybe ill receive it this week. If anyone else gets theirs let me know.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
I recieved tracking number about week ago but it doesn't work. I wrote yesterday an email but no response so far. I begin to worry that I'll never see my bumper nor my 27$ :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mayortheslayer:
I got an email the 6th of jan saying they were going to send an email as soon as they ship it. Which is right around the same time everyone was getting tracking numbers. I'm hoping they just messed up and shipped it with the others. If one of us doesn't get it by the end of this week then there is cause for concern.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
Does anyone who bought a bumper from dx-box have a tracking number that works?

On another note, I have managed to increase my order so anyone who was on the waiting list can be assured of getting one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
If I really loose my money here I'll probably stick with naked nexus. I don't want to spend more money on some cheap plastic. I could buy poetic one but cost including shipping to Poland is attrocious.

I am reselling them for S$22 (US$ 17.97) for normail airmail and S$24.20 (US$19.77) for registered airmail.

I had no idea the original has metallic buttons, so I took a look and asked the seller:

12:21:04

正版N4 bumper 在旁边有类似铁的按钮,请问你们的保险杠也有吗? In the original N4 bumper, there are metal-esque buttons by the side. Could I ask if your replica has them too?

12:21:24 PM

有。。

Yes.

Looks like the previous photo is before the buttons are added. I then asked how come the original is without the buttons? He said:

原装的按键都被我搞丢了

The original was lost by me.

找不到了

Can't find it now.

So it was a joke, they are all replicas. >_>

Less than US$20 for mine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:

Since tracking numbers from dx box don't work do you think there is any chance to retrieve money from paypal? They claim all transactions are assured.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
You can pay 2$ more for registered airmail and get tracking number which apparently doesn't work. So you saved $2 or lost $25 (depends how you look at it ;) )

I am interested in the bumper case...can u ship to India?

Do u accept Paypal (I can send additional 3.9% which Paypal Charges)?

If yes, then add me to the waitlist...

Ty!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jak3z:
innumerabilis, if my dx-box order ends up as being fake, I will get the money back from paypal eventually, add me to the waiting list just in case :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
Did you get a tracking/shipment number? When did you order?

I hope I won’t have to file a case with Paypal to get my money back.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
I'm afraid there will be many cases in paypal in near future for user lei tao ;) It's definitely fishy, because those tracking numbers don't work for people from all around the world, first I thought it's only mine, because tracking to Poland is available only to China borders.

I started wondering what to do next when I get money, try to get another replica (maybe from innumerabilis), poetic one or maybe that xda cruzerlite tpu case (not bumper but looks nice). It's such a shame that there is such a little choice when you want to buy a bumper for Nexus 4...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xHalt:

Looks promising.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sMtt:
If you got these is it possible to share some pictures of bumper with device? I would be interested too
[Nexus 4 Accessories] radmor11:
OK, innumerabilis, could you add me to the DX box waiting list too?

Guys, how long are going to wait for package from DX box before trying to get money back from paypal?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jak3z:
Here is what I'm going to do, once I get my tracking code I give them 4 days to get any info from it, if I see no evidence that my package is on thway (thats why I paid $2) I will mail them in a good mood with a warning of a possible paypal dispute in the next 48 hours.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] innumerabilis:
Yes, shipping to India should be no problem. Added you to the list. :)

I am not buying anything from DX box, and therefore do not have a DX box waiting list...

Guys, there's two things I'd like to clarify - I do not have the bumpers yet (which keeps being delayed...) and so no photos with the device are possible at this moment except those taken by the sellers.

Next, I'm not a manufacturer or big seller, just a small fry selling at near cost as a service to you guys. Once I receive the goods , I will mail it out to all who placed an order. The rest would be sold to a local shop in Singapore, after which I won't have any stocks. So unconfirmed requests like "I'll order one if dx-box doesn't deliver" or "I want to see photos taken by you first" put me in a dilemma, because I don't want to hold on to goods that I may or may not be able to sell.

After chasing the seller for so many days, I'm tired and just want this to be over.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Faiz5z:
Hopefully, the Followin post might be simple and silly..

And this is wat i worked and done as a guess and it worked in "very few" of the custom roms of CM9/10 and baked pico V2 even..

The most common problem that the users of our Pico see is that, there's no accessing of mobile data, eventhough they r able to see it to be enabled in the settings & network option..

The reason is as follows..

As soon as u open the network settings,u see the mobile data is enabled..

But, the problem is that, wen u goto the accesspoints section..

There'll not be any access points that are saved before by u or automaticaly by the network provider...!!

So what i did was,"i set up the exact apn settings for the mobile data to be worked for my network provider.."

then.. save the apn after editin the required settings for ur provider..

then, make that apn as default..

select "Mobile data enabled"...

check whether the data "2G/3G/H" appearin on the status bar..

if not, "select airplane mode on"

again "select airplane mode off"..

now, hopefully, ur mobile data would be on..!! :victory:

This is wat i did and it worked fine and well for me..!!

Kindly make a try and Let me Know..

Hi all.

Got me a shiny new 820 on Monday. Happy days.

Does anyone have any opinions on a good car holder? I can't see any made by Nokia, which leaves either a cheap "universal" one which I don't have much faith in, or a Brodit one (which would be fine, except I then need a suction bit to hold it in my car as the Brodit clip puts it in a stupid place).
