Ok Just got my DX-BOX Bumper case:) Some pics.

BTW They sent me a screen Gaurd
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sajpogi:
Wow! It looks like the Original. I am still waiting for mine. Both DX and the Original one. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lexcyn:
Should be getting the DX-BOX and original next week... I will post a comparison image when I get them both.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Guto ViP:
I got from is seller, original of course:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] blaaaah:
I must say that if all of the dx-box bumpers really turn out to be real originals, then imo it's worth the wait and the price. I mean, they were the cheapest ones out there when there was nothing available on the play store and when ebay ones were like 100$ :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
They are replicas Lol. Do u really think that a seller in China has a crap load of original OEM lg bumpers Lol. They are just like all the other exact replicas out there they are spot on.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] blaaaah:
No I dont think so but thats what people keep reporting... i would say its higly unlikely but still might be somehow possible?

I will see for myself when I receive it.

Btw. Do all the replicas also have the hologram? I now its not that hard to fake but have other replicas had it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
Lets wait for lexcyn to compare both DX-BOX and Google Play versions.

Is there a chance that the original "bumper factory" sold some bumpers via other channel?

Or the DX-BOX vendor had a contact inside it...or whatever....

You can try with this HD video to compare your DX-BOX bumper:

The point of a replica is to look exactly like the original.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
I Just want to know whether its 100% identical or just 99.9%.

Or worse like 90% similar.

If its 100% identical in materials, touch feeling and (of course) appearance. Then for me it has the same value than a true original.

No, no signing... Just delivered by the regular postman..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] voonbag:
Mine was brought to the door by the postman, so I assume my wife had to sign for it.

It would have fit into the mailbox out the front.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lexcyn:
From what I can tell the bumpers from DX-BOX are actually LEGIT bumpers from LG. The warranty card states valid in Australia and New Zealand only. If these are fake they really went into a LOT of trouble to make these look legit, from the hologram to the warranty cards, packaging, quality of product, etc, which seems highly unlikely. I will know more once I receive the one I ordered from the Play store.

Hmm.. I wonder if that ebay seller got his hands on the DXBOX ones earlier or something. I had a NZ/Australia warranty card as well, but either way its a invalid warranty for me as im in USA.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ianleet:
Just received mine from innumerabilis. Quality is good and it looks pretty much the same as the real one. Only bad thing was a few small scratches that I saw at the bottom. On top of that what makes it good is that the feel of the buttons are amazing.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] snapper.fishes:
So, has anyone's bumper (non-poetic) start to fall apart yet?

DX-BOX ordered on the 27th received in Bangkok. Exact same as photos taken. Fits great came with a screen protector..but it doesn't have the cut out for the proximity sensors..so I just applied right below.

Can anyone who received dx-**** bumper check if the silver frame is sticked to tpu with something? Like double sided tape? And is the silver frame painted inside too?

Thx in advance

[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
For about an hour I thought you were talking about the Bumper. LOL
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lexcyn:
Looks like its double sided tape and the frame is white on the inside. (DX-BOX)

I will compare with one from Play store when it arrives and check if its exactly the same.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Perilla_:
And how is the original? (to anyone who have it)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DforDesign:
Ok, that can be a proof that it is replica.

I got the same bumper from my friend in Poland, and it looks just like this from DX-BOX: taped inside, not painted inside and there is a holo sticker and a printed warranty card.

I'll ask him if he could get soe of them and then he maybe could sell some to you if youre interested. He is from Poland so if youre from Europe it woul be easier and faster to get it for you.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
I have my original on. How can I tell if it has double sided tape and if its painted on the inside. Mine is black on the inside of the bumper with openings where the buttons are as they are chrome. At the bottom where the USB port is I can see the inside of the silver frame and it looks grey. I can take pics if u want. I can also see the inside of the silver frame where the top mic is on the left top.

My Dx Box according to the tracking number should be delivered today (Toronto, Canada). I hope it's the real deal, then I can cancel my Google order.

Edit:

Spoke to soon. Just got in now. Looks official to me. Good build quality, packaging looks the same as the pics I've seen. Going to cancel my Google order and save myself $33.

Overall, I think anyone who got their bumper from D Box will be happy.

Edit 2:

Although I haven't got a tracking number from Google, I was unable to cancel my order. Looks like I will be refusing delivery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
Congrats!

One question, how do you know when arrives Toronto?

Mine says:

Destination - Argentina

The item (RC*********HK) left Hong Kong for its destination on 30-Jan-2013

I assume hongkongpost.com won't update the tracking # anymore...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] plasticdarlow:
I started tracking it through Canada Post. I would imagine you can use the same tracking number and track it through your local post office.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] androidtoy09:
That is right I’m in the US and I can use the same tracking number on the United State Postal Service (USPS) website. Although it’s the exact same update as HongKong Post. I guess it’s still on the boat.

Ordered Jan.12

Got shipment# on Jan.14

Received tracking number from PayPal Dispute on Jan. 27

Left HongKong on Jan.28

No new update yet
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thesebastian:
I see.

I tried with my local post tracking many times, but it didn't appear yet.

Your package took only 2-3 days to arrive from HK?

I think mine will take a week or more :(
[Nexus 4 Accessories] plasticdarlow:
I think the HK shipping company's info is wrong. It showed arrived in Canada on the 30th. Doubt it took 2 days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lexcyn:
I will have to check with the one I get from Google Play and compare. From all the pictures I have seen it's so close to the original you probably would never notice a difference unless you started pulling the trim out on purpose (why would you?).

In any case it will be good to compare OEM to DX-BOX to see where they differ if they are indeed replicas.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] vertizontal:
I received my Shenit bumper today, at least it didn't take until March 5th as listed in the tracking estimate from Amazon.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Saaber:
I got my DX-BOX bumper in the mail today. It's nicer than the Poetic bumper I also have, and the box is pretty convincing, but I'm almost positive it's a fake. There's a spot on the upper left part of the rubber that's missing its texture, and there are enough imperfections in the paint that I don't think LG would've let it pass. Still, I like it, especially how easy the buttons are to press now. I should also be getting one on Monday from that eBay seller who kept having more and more original bumpers to sell, and I've ordered two from the Play Store, but they haven't shipped yet. If anyone's interested, I'm using this with the front and back Ringke screen protectors, which don't go quite to the edges, so there's no chance of the bumper making them peel off.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Perilla_:
Thanks. Could you show us those spots in photos?

Made an XDA account just to inform that dxbox bumpers just arrived, ordered at 12 Jan.

The biggest proof that it is a fake is the listed price is getting cheaper and cheaper.

I bought at $24ish (for minimum 2-bumper order), now it is listed at less than $21 (for minimum 2-bumper order).

Maybe just wait a little while, AliExpress already had similar items sold at less than $15 (bigger minimum order).

Replica Bumper

Hey all

Does anyone know if the eBay user Deniska001 is selling replica bumpers and passing them off as genuine?

He has sold a lot and I can't help but wonder how he has managed to order so many from the Play store.

I would post a link but I'm new so it won't allow me to yet.

If you look back at the past previous pages. It is real, it comes with a warranty card as well as the original packaging with the LG holographic and everything is good.

As I've said before (many pages back), the "seller" is listed as 小甜豆的幸福生活 but I contacted her and she said she has nothing to do with buyinchina.

Perhaps they just buy from taobao when you place an order and ship to you at a higher price. Or perhaps the product isn't from 小甜豆的幸福生活. Caveat emptor. :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kamp:
Buy In China is just a Taobao shipping agent who offers service in English.

You can buy pretty much anything on Taobao from them. Just copy the URL from Taobao and paste it in Buy In China site.

For that price, if they had black I'd buy one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SchmilK:
Just received mine yesterday!

My first thoughts are that it looked better than the poetic bumper that I have been using (which was replaced twice because it didn't stay glued together)

I like the texture in the plubber and I like that the 2 parts aren't glued together.

I don't really like that you can see part of the silver bezel of the phone under the top and bottom of the front.

Will post pics later when I get home and have a camera or phone available..

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Saaber:
In the mail today I got two official bumpers from the Play Store and the eBay one from deniska001. My DX-Box bumper arrived on Friday. The DX-Box and eBay bumpers are identical. They're extremely good fakes, but definitely fakes. Both have duller paint than the original (both also have fuzz in the paint), more visible and sloppier mold lines, and a slightly bolder texture on the back. The originals have a very nice, almost metallic sheen to the plastic rim. They're also extremely nicely made with no flashing on the black plastic parts. The boxes are almost dead ringers for each other. The only real difference I can tell is in the real thing, the bumper sits about a half inch from the bottom of the case and an inch from the top. On the fake, it's centered top to bottom.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yes but the LG one won't mess with your screen protector at all. Also when I emailed lg about it they said its designed that way so that the curved screen can still be used. I take that with a grain of salt though.

I do notice that moving from one tab to the other in Chrome is easier with the LG bumper. I just don't think it was a good design to have the chrome showing top/bottom, its like a random "bling" that pops in your face from time to time and it ends up being the chrome lol.
