Still waiting on the Nexus 4 Bumper

[DScorpio]

I missed the windows when these bumpers were available on Google Play, but I received my Nexus 4 a month ago. Every day goes by I worry carrying around my unprotected phone. It's been a month and a half since they've had the bumpers in stock, what's taking them so long?!

I don't really want to buy from a 3rd party like ebay since they're marked up and could be scams. And I don't really like the Poetic bumper as an alternative. This is driving me nuts though. I can't believe a plastic bumper is taking them so long to produce.

Me neither. I'm using the iBlason clear TPU case, which is good enough, but I really would like the bumper to go back on sale again.

Yeah, it's pretty weird that even the bumper is so hard to get still.

For what it's worth, I had both the Google bumper and the Poetic bumper. I thought the Poetic bumper looked bad online, but once I received it I ended up liking it more than the Google bumper. I like that's it's smaller and feels better. And that light gray band is actually dark gray, so matches the phone better than the pictures indicated.

Still nothing!

Just received my bumper a few minutes ago. It's nice, and snaps on pretty easily. It adds a bit more width to the phone, but not much thickness. It makes the phone feel bigger than with the iBlason soft gel case I have been using. The aluminum ring around the side makes it feel fairly slick, so I will be more careful with this one. The buttons are easier to push, however, and I like that it matches the look and design of the phone. The iBlason gave better grip, and protects the back since it keeps it covered. The good news is I have both if I want to switch back and forth.
