Just got mine! I was never a case guy, but this one feels really nice! Super light weight and it still fits in the pocket nicely. The piece of mind I get with the added protection is great too.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Deeco7:
Oh my word! Ordered the bumper only to find Google send me a tracking number and stating it has been delivered to someone called 'DAVIS' living in 'LIVINGSTON'.

WTH, this looks fishy it's either Google gave me the wrong tracking number as the pickup date is '19/10/2012' and delivery '20/10/2012 at 07:20'.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] TheeWolf:
Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask, is there a reason to prefer Google's bumper over Poetic's?

Also, I want to purchase Wrapsol's screen and back protectors. Will there be some kind of a "collision" between the bumper and the protectors? (for example, will putting/taking out the bumper peel of the protectors?)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] guapinoy:
Just got the official bumper yesterday and I was underwhelmed by it. I was using the poetic for about a month now and here's my take.

Poetic bumper:

Pros.

Thinner profile, higher lip, better grip, cheaper price.

Cons.

cheaper material (Started to separate I got the first revision , though they are sending a replacement for free)

Official bumper.

Pros.

Beautiful, looks like part of the phone.

Cons.

Expensive, thicker profile, less overall protection.

Never had a problem with protectors with both products. I use extreme skin on back acar on the front.

Like someone mentioned before, the official bumper seems like a luxury item. Poetic bumper will be enough for most people looking for a bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PcFish:
I'm having a problem as well. Tracking says it delivered but there is nothing there. Frustrating =(

I live in Livingston, can :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Deeco7:
Had thought of canceling this one for the 'Replica', but didn't managed to cancel my order but received it today nonetheless lol despite the wrong tracking code. I think I will keep it, not worth the hassle returning it back.

Funny thing is Google delivered it within 2 days as promised (means nothing), unlike my Nexus which arrived '2 Months' later lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] setzer715:
Ordered one of these last night. Today says shipping estimate of Feb 13. Oh well, guess I'm waiting a while.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fumanstan:
I ordered mine Wednesday night, got it today. I also have the Poetic bumper. It doesn't wrap around the top and bottom as much as the Poetic, but I really like the feel of this better and the buttons. Still not sure it was worth the $27 after shipping, but oh well.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
Estimated shipping date is also Feb 13 for me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SEVEN40iL:
I ordered 3 bumpers from Google Play this morning for my father, brother and myself.

Then on my lunch break I went over to the mall and found that the new Blackberry Z10 Holster fits our Nexus 4 very snuggly!

I tried to cancel my order, but said I can't do it.

So suffice to say, I will have an extra bumper if anyone is interested.

I am located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.

Remember when the Nexus One came out, it launched along with an excellent official bluetooth multimedia and pogo charging desktop dock?

I miss those days.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] seeansea:
I am fairly impressed by this bumper. Got here super fast, two days actually. It feels so much better in my hand then my Ringke Slim case (which was a decent case) and I get to see the sexy back of the phone. Was a tad bummed that the case didn't completely cover over the top & bottom chrome edge but that's minor for feeling so good in the hand.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] setzer715:
+1, I loved my dock for my Nexus One. Just set it in, no port to line up or try to line up. Sucks they quit putting in the docking pins on phones.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Mine said Feb 13 ship day as well, but shipped out a few days ago
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Chad_Petree:
Wow, i ordered the bumper on thursday at 11 am and it arrived at 3 pm the next day, when i bought it the shipping estimate was 1-2 weeks , bravo goofle, finally you're doing things the right way.

As for the bumper itself, i love it , it feels premium, fits the phone so good that you think its part of the phone :victory: , now i feel better , because i was so afraid i would drop my phone and that will be the end of it and also the freaking phone slipped on tables :mad: , now with the bumper those worries are gone .

The bad side is that you can definitely feel a difference in the widht and height of the phone , it feels 10-15% bigger, i feel like i have a 5" phone but with a 4.7" display :( , but the protection and peace of mind is worth it, i would definetely recommend the bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lwfb:
Purchased at 8:20 am on Thursday and it still shows as pending in Wallet.

WTH... Maybe this is some sort of cosmic correction for getting a N4 on launch day and in my hands two days later?

I'm in limbo with this damn bumper. Anyone else?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Boomey:
Wait, let me get this straight: The Nexus 4 OEM bumper is still being sold in the US, but here in Australia it's listed as sold out?

This sucks. I wish I could find a way to get it ... the phone arrives tomorrow and I don't want to waste money on a temporary ...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Raymen864:
What is the final price to ship it in the USA?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Tdeljr:
Paid $27.63 total. In U.S.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SonicYan:

Ordered just now. Mine says, "Shipping estimate: February 13, 2013".
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Burata:
Finally got my official bumper case delivered. I'm sure you all know this but my god, this thing is awesome. Absolutely 100% without a doubt the best thing for this phone. Has protection in all the right places, fits PERFECT as it should, and stops the phone from acting like an air hockey puck on a table with its ever so slightly concave back.

Hang in there folks who still haven't gotten one yet, its well worth the wait and effort.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yavihah:
had the same message on order and settings too, still no update on wallet. Funny how now says ships in less than a week -__-
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PcFish:
So, since UPS lost my bumper I contacted google via email. They never replied to me so I ended up calling. Then two different customer reps replied to me on the same day. I'll be getting 2 replacements =)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Vitamin_D:
I got mine today. I gotta say, I'm not that impressed. It doesn't fit very well and makes the phone harder to hold. I'll give it a week.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SonicYan:
That was quick. Mine says still pending.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Oathkeeper1212:
It finally arrived. Way earlier than estimated February 13.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] alex4lex:
Just ordered one! Been keeping an eye on it, finally I could hit add to cart! Now about that wireless charger... :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fluidd:
Ordered one on Feb 1st, and it just shipped out today!

Scheduled to get my bumper this Friday! Can't wait!!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Crisisx1:
Can't believe people are actually paying $20ish for this when you can buy 2 cases lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
I don't buy a lot of cases so I wouldn't mind paying the $27 but it took forever to come back on sale so I bought a replica for $15 it should come tomorrow. I couldn't believe this went on sale the day after I bought my replica I kept putting it off thinking the original would come back on sale any day lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
My Nillkin hard case is collecting dust. I stuck the case on for two days before it peeled off my back screen protector. :P

The Otterbox for my previous phone was way too bulky. If it's anything but that, I think $27ish for a bumper isn't TOO much for its asking price.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Can you guys confirm that the Google play store came with a warranty card? If so, is its location, nz / Australia? It should be under the packaging papers
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dokukinoko:
There were three separate and small white papers that came with my U.S. Google Play Bumper.

A clearly labeled warranty card for NZ/Australia.

A not-so-obvious (at a quick glance) warranty card for the US/Canada.

I forgot what the third paper was.

I've had products before where I got different warranty cards for different markets. I'd guess it's just more cost effective and efficient for LG to do it that way.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
Just awkward how they included NZ/Australia. Mines was (bought mines on ebay)..... warranty card for nz/australia (says its only valid for this market), limited warranty statement and a limited warranty card
[Nexus 4 Accessories] cobyman7035:
has anyone dropped their phones with bumper, nothing happend? i don't like how the back glass is exposed with the stock bumper, i have the crappy cheap TCP gel casing but i think it will protect the back glass if it falls
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Mine arrived today. Have to say, I really like it. Was a bit worried the way some said it made the phone feel very wide. it is wider, but not bad at all. Very happy with it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SoCGHOST:
Does the bumper have any grip on the side like the actual phone does? I have the poetic atmosphere, I love that you can see the back, but the grip is terrible with this case. It slips out of my hand all the time. I love the sparkly back and want to show it off, but I want to make sure I'm not going to get something else with little grip. Percentage wise, how many of you that have actually received it are happy with it?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] anwedr:
Looks like Google will be shipping my bumper. Received confirmation email.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ManOnTheMoon:
Just received mine and in love it. I used to have the poetic bumper but after three broken ones I wanted something lasting. There is some nice shiny metal on the side of the official one but let me tell you, it's VERY slippery... It's sliding in my hand. I hope this breaks in and doesn't slide. Regardless I love it and makes my phone look twenty times better.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bustabo:
I just got my bumper today too. I had a diztronic tpu case before. The bumper really looks and feels great. Very high quality.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] cobyman7035:
I hope I don't drop phone with stock bumper
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ckarv:
So do you prefer the bumper compared to the diztronic case? I have the case as well, but the phone still feels a bit bulkier than I'd wish it to. So I'm actually rocking it naked, except for best skins ever protectors.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bustabo:
Yeah the bumper is sweet, it really doesn't add much bulk and it looks like the phone is naked.

What does stock bumper affect your screen protectors the corners of it huh

Google Voice via my NeXus⁴ using XDA Premium
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Saaber:
Most screen protectors don't go all the way to the edge of the glass because of the curved glass. There's about an 1/8" border between my bumper case and the edges of my Ringke screen protector. The gap on the back is closer to 1/16".
[Nexus 4 Accessories] dokukinoko:
Well, the bumper is now temporarily OFF STOCK :laugh: at the US Play Store for the third time. At least it lasted a good week or so...

I test fitted my BSE (Best Skins Ever) full body (wet application) on my Play Bumper and it looks like a good compromise between leaving a tiny gap and getting good coverage with the bumper. Even BSE makes the claim that this is the best version to go with, over the newer "case optimized" version.

Total Body Skin provides our standard protection for the Screen Skin and Body Skin (Back and Side Skins). In our testing, this version worked best for the OEM (Google) Bumper.

Looking forward to applying it this weekend.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hp420:
I would highly recommend hitting up ebay FAST!! They just went out on google play this morning, and most people haven't found out yet. I just ordered one for $28 and change, including shipping.....same price as from play :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] fluidd:
Ordered my Nexus 4 OEM Bumper from Google Play Store on Jan 30th and just received it today and OH MANN! This is definitely worth the $20. I'm used to buying over priced accessories from SGP (Spigen), and for $20 this feels like it should definitely be worth MORE!.. Definitely a great addition to the phone and is very good quality. Very happy customer right now!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] :
Is the bumper supposed to be ever so slightly raised on the right hand side?

It seems to fit better on the left. If this makes sense will someone confirm.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zerosource:
Glad I put ordered for this bumper. Coming in few days. UPS is slow as f*.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
I agree. I felt stupid for paying $27 (w/ shipping) for this when I didn't really need it.

But damn this is nice! Looks like it's part of the phone and feels awesome. I'm very pleased with this. Kudos Google and LG.

For anyone wondering about drop tests..... my Nexus 4 with OEM bumper just fell from a 4 feet drop and survived. No damage, everything is still working fine. Nothing flew off, bumper was still on. It fell face first too.

Got my bumper, its nice but I don't like the outer plastic. The plastic makes phone to slippery. Looking for a bumper all black with the texture on the back, adding grip. Overall, good quality and fit
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
WAT?!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] RayLancer:
I'm still not completely sold on the Bumper cases. They look fantastic but protection wise, I'm still really cautious since the back is still pretty exposed.

Just got my bumpers yesterday!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Yahi:
Damn..these things are extremely hard to get their hands on.

Not to mention there's no way to buy a case/bumper for the Nexus 4 here in the UK. The only way is to order one on the internet (almost always from the US with a shipping price higher than the actual case) :mad:

Bumpers are for drop protection, when you drop your phone it will land on one of the corners or edge first with the most force.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
As long as you're not going rock climbing with it, the bumper should serve you just fine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] thos25:
I got the bumper about a week ago. Definitely not as protective as the Seidio active but I like it better. Plus my wireless charging still works. So I swapped the Seidio off and have been using the bumper exclusively.

Like I said, it isn't as protective so I hope not to pay for it in the end but it seems sturdy enough that it should withstand some minor drops.

You should be fine with the standard 3-4 foot drops. I love mine as well.

Just received my bumper. Wow it is sooo slippery. I don't know how you guys can use this.

Does it become less slippery over time? I have relatively large hands (literally larger hands than every single person I know). Maybe it's the way I hold my phone?

The bumper adds too much width to comfortably grip in one hand, but too slippery to hold it my usual way with two

Yeah, it was super slipper first day I got it. After a couple days my hands got used to it and it doesn't feel slippery to me anymore.

My bumper broke. Google, rather than replace it, is refunding my money. Apparently their warranty does not cover replacements, only refunds.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
How did it break
[Nexus 4 Accessories] PcFish:
Because they don't have replacements to give.

I ordered a new one on this last batch. UPS "delivered" it and I never received it.

Instead of sending a replacement like they said they would initially they just refunded me.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
i dont understand how after 4 months google is still have stock problems with these bumpers when it is easier to buy the phone. It was understandable that these were sold out in the first few months but google cant use the excuse of we underestimated demand this far from launch.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ethan.r.besbris:
Good question. Took off the bumper one too many tines I guess. Thing completely split down the middle by the USB port. Meh. Super glue. Using my Ringke Slim now, I do miss showing off the back though. :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] coffmad:
Managed to swindle mine from an LG representative that came to store, one for me one for my manager one for my work-mate and one for my sister-in-law, not a bad little haul i must say :D
[Nexus 4 Accessories] maxpowerxiii:
I agree, the case is super slippery. What I did was I cut out extra parts of the best skins ever screen protector skin template and applied it to the sides of the bumper for extra grip. It seems to be working well enough.

If there is anyone that can help with my issue. My bionic stays up for about 2 mins and then reboots. If anyone has a solution for this, I would be very appreciative. I've tried FDR, battery pull/swap, SIM pull/swap, SDCard pull/swap, RSDLite flash of 6.7.246, HOB instruction for flashing 246. It is still rebooting every 2 mins 32 secs as noted under "Settings/About Phone/Status/up time". Also IMEI, ERI, PRI, ICCID, and MIN all show unknown. Not sure if that is pertinent.

Thanks to jsanders32 for posting a video link to bypass the activation screen on a separate thread.

Not sure if this is still relevant for you, but I had a similar issue, and it turned out to be a loose sim card. I cut a small section of labeling sticker and put it on the back of the sim card, making it fit more firmly, and haven't had a problem since then.

Anybody knows does Tipo/Miro/J support USB On-the-go accessory? Has anyone tried yet?

I think accessory is called Sony Ericsson Live Dock or Samsung Galaxy S2 mini usb to usb adapter.

I know that Xperia Arc supports that.

You can try using Live Dock and using OTG Helper, i have tried using otg helper and still dont work, i dont have livedock btw.
