Nexus 4 bumper axed

after it returned for a short moment on Wednesday
Glad I ordered it yesterday. Weird that Google is getting rid of this accessory for the Nexus 4. I would have expected they would have the same amount of bumper cases as Nexus 4 devices. 

Currently I am using the Poetic Nexus 4 case which looks almost similar but doesn't work that well with the wireless charger. When I want to charge the phone, I have to remove the bumper case.

  1. my nexus 4 went to join the choir invisible after the first 30 cm drop from my belly. The problem is that the glass back makes it wander off every slightly uneven surface, even tables that aren't perfectly level. A star in the screen, and the touch screen rendered unusable. Of course no way to repair it in mainland China. I call crappy design on this phone.

  2. after owning it for less than a month, even :(

  3. I'm placing my trust in this cover: ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-REINFORCED-RUGGED-TUFF-HARD-CASE-COVER-LG-GOOGLE-NEXUS-4-E960-/390527287645

    The cover adds a little bulk, but it still goes in my front pockets easily enough.

  4. I got the GENx Hybrid Bumper Case voor Google Nexus 4 from MobileFun which also looks VERY similar to the original: http://www.mobilefun.nl/37910-genx-hybrid-bumper-case-voor-google-nexus-4.htm

  5. They are likely axing it because it cracks. If you ever fake it off (especially iff you futz with the corners often) then the plastic below the charve port will crack. Quite disappointed with this.

  6. Same thing happened to mine. After 19 days. +Scott Miller

  7. +Sander Van de Moortel mine dropped as well. I have a crack in the screen. A new Nexus 4 is standing on my desk. Haven't had time yet to unpack it. 
    +Lars Fosdal thanks for the link. Looks good as well
    Thanks +Jeroen van Pelt
    Doesn't sound good +Scott Miller +Evan J. Xavier. I will keep my other cases just in case.

  8. +Arvid Bux just never bend the bottom. Insert the bottom of the phone first, then the top

  9. Learned the hard way myself. Mine is in pieces. I think I can use a little super glue, but i am getting attached to the no case feel

  10. Can you +Arvid Bux recommend the nexus 4

  11. Is zo'n bumpercase echt nodig (is dat ding echt zo kwetsbaar zeg maar)? Ik ben voornemens een N4 in Frankrijk of Duitsland te gaan halen.

  12. +Rogier van den Berg Ik merk dat ik minder het gevoel heb, dat ik mijn N4 uit mijn klauwen laat vallen. Minder "slippery".
