Was just about to post! Just got the who.has.it email update. 28 bucks after tax and shipping.. blahh whatever. I really hate setting it down on the glass back so it's worth it.

$5.99 for shipping is such a rip off.

Sure is, but given that we haven't even been able to order it consider it an availability surcharge (and it's still a heck of a lot less then the stupidity on ebay). I can't wait to compare this to the Rearth slim LF white case (assuming that they are actually shipping these things today as promised).

In for 1!

**V-Tech** · 12-11-2012, 02:43 PM

It's in the US only i think. Cant buy one in Canada.

**Citizen Coyote** · 12-11-2012, 03:09 PM

Can someone tell me what's so special about the bumper that Google feels entitled to charge $20 for it? Is it really that superior to what you can find on Amazon, ~~eBay~~, or any number of other sites?

P.S. This is an honest question, I really would like to know.

Edit: removed eBay ref.

**javierlp** · 12-11-2012, 03:19 PM

Done.

I dont know what's special about the Google bumper but looking at ebay and amazon i wasnt able to find anything else.

Do you have a link to a cheaper better thing? I'll be willing to buy.

**MbTurner1977** · 12-11-2012, 03:30 PM

I order a black and a white Rearth cases on Friday and now I don't have the money to get the number case now

I will order a bumper case eventually

I could have sworn I had seen others, but this is the only one I can find now. It's not yet in stock (end of the month) but you can order it for $6:

Amazon.com: Poetic Borderline Bumper case for Google Nexus 4 Smart Phone E960 LG Black/Gray(3 Year Warranty from Poetic): Electronics

Edit: I shouldn't have included eBay in the original post, the only one I see is the official bumper for ridiculous prices.

**HTCTundaBow** · 12-11-2012, 03:40 PM

Just ordered mine! Hopefully my SGP Dual Screen Protector will be here by the time the bumper gets here!

I do not have one in my hand yet but you can take a look at this review.

This Nexus 4 Bumper is expensive compared to some other 3rd party ones. However, you get what you paid for. This Bumper has buttons built into the edge of the bumper. So these buttons when pressed, they pressed directly onto the buttons on the phone. This gives a positive feel to the buttons. The Poetic Bumper is mainly two pieces of rubberized plastic one soft and the other hard bonded together.

There are more parts to this Nexus 4 Bumper and hence more cost in parts and labor in making this. Personally, I like the looks of this bumper on the Nexus 4. Why would I buy a slim and good look phone and then cased it with a big and ugly box?

I guess someone that works in the field might have a need to get a strong case but a bumper and a protective skin would be enough for me.
