Aluminum bumper from eBay/Amazon - G4 Accessories

I know I've read that a few people have purchased it... my question is for those who have actually received it.
First of all, I believe I read someone had said it DID fit a leather back phone... Can that be confirmed? Also, do you notice any degradation of WiFi or cell signal with the bumper on?

this

Well, all aluminum cases effects the signals and wifi too ... i had use aluminum case on my galaxy s5 ago . Im recommend to not use any aluminum case

Mine shipped today so i guess i will find out in a couple weeks. For $9 it's worth the chance.

This is a bumper, not a case. There is a bit of a difference.
I have one in bound, I will report back when I get it.

I'll probably bevel mine with a dremel. I got the uncoated version because of this.

Got my black bumper in today. I like it so far. Fits well. Doesn't seem like it will leave a mark inn the leather but time will tell.

I got mine a few days ago. I'm not happy about 2 things:
First, putting this on ripped my heart to shreds. It doesn't open nearly enough to fit the phone without seriously risking a scratch.
Then, the bottom part is not fitted properly. There's a space between the back of the phone and the bumper, and I can see through port holes. The phone doesn't jiggle or anything, but the frame is too far from the bottom back of the phone.
I'm using the plastic back BTW, and trust me, you don't want to use this on a leather back. There's no padding at all on this and it will leave marks. @tourbound129 I think someone already tried it and it only took a couple of hours.

I agree that it doesn't hinge apart as much as I would like but I had no problems carefully making it work.
I'm not to worried about it leaving marks in the leather. It won't really show in the black even if it does. And the backs are replaceable.

I'll try to get some later. GF has my G3 so don't have anything to take a pic with.
It did leave a small impression on the leather after leaving it on overnight. I have the textured black leather so not worried about it at all. Not even visible unless you are looking for it.

Has anyone dropped their phone yet, while wearing the aluminum bumper? How did it protect the phone?

The areal where the hinge is damaged the corner of my phone. These things are complete ****e

hopefully not. case mate is a pretty reputable brand, never had any complaints from any of their products and i dont think that the Pop case will disappoint.

well those are cheap eBay cases besides.. if it was to cause a scratch or whatever.. it'd take a few days to actually tell if it does scratch the phone or it could of been there before.
Co-molded materials of plastic and soft rubber unite to create a hard case with a soft touch. The lightweight plastic body of the Pop! protects from unforeseeable impacts, while keeping your screen lifted away from surfaces. The Pop! features contemporary color pairings to create a modern look for your device. Rubber sides make for an easy grip. Inside, the soft material hugs your Nexus S like a glove. Not even Batman and Robin are that tight.

from the description.. it doesnt seem like it was scratch, and besides.. the "Pop" is a universal case for many other phones, im sure it would be relatively similar for the Nexus S
personally.. im not too worried, case mate has never ceased to disappoint me
Alright. I just got it in the mail and opened it up. Some things that are easily noticeable
- Contour Case
- Comes with Screen protectors (as every other Case Mate case) & Screen cloth wipe
- Grip does feel better with the sides.
- Cut out holes are perfectly fine.
- Just a little bit bulker but not too much. Maybe a little more than the Tough Case.
- Power / Volume are a lot easier to press.
- Phone isn't all up on the case. But it isn't loose at all.

Overall, a great case. However, after removing the phone from the case several times (over a month or two), the rubber around the corners is tearing.
Will probably end up with a different case that doesn't get destroyed by removal.
Ditto.....loved my pop but it fell apart after just a few weeks.

[Q] Cases/screen protector

Has anyone found a place to buy a good case for this phone yet?
Also, I sent an email to ZAGG (invisibleSHIELD) to see if they will be getting screen protectors for the vivid...I hope the respond soon...
I got the Moshi Protector and the AGF case from ATT when I picked up the vivid, case is fine, HATE the protector, makes the screen feel and react like the old resistive screens since it by design, doesn't lay flat on the screen.
I ordered a cheapo clear on ebay(prefer the clear ones) as soon as it comes in I am returning the moshi

I had a few leftovers from SGS2, and you wont believe how perfectly they fit on my Vivid. As if they were custom made for this phone.

Not sure how they are going to work out, but I bought some yesterday.. Ill letcha know.
When i picked up the phone i got a speck case and moshi screen protector. Reason i like the moshi is because its bubble free and reusable and anti-glare. The speck case is bulky but i had one on my inspire and i dropped that phone like 20 times and not a scratch or dent
could you take some shots of the phone with the speck case. I ordered 2 white phones with the white cases and i'm hoping they are going to make the phone too big.

Do you think you might be able to post your thoughts on the speck case? I got the white phone, and was contemplating the white case, too, but was afraid it would be too thick and make the phone a bit bulky. Thanks!
I picked up the Otterbox Commuter case from AT&T when I picked up the phone on Sunday. I really wish they had the black plastic case with black rubber case versus the black plastic with gray rubber case. But it is protected for now.
Still looking for a good screen protector for this though.
I got the white and black speck case its not that bulky as i recently stated but its not flimsy either like some of those ebay ones. Its rubber on the inside and a smooth hard plastic on the outside. the phone is very snug in the case you dont have to worry about over time the case looses its shape or gets looser. And not to mention if you do drop the phone at least you know they phone wont fall out of it or the back plate coming off.

I'm almost certain they will be, no worries. They've made screen protectors for far less popular phones.

How are the buttons on this case? I had Candyshell for Inspire and hated it becasue buttons were extremely stiff
just got comfirmation that my two white speck cases shipped through AT&T. Should be here tomorrow, now just have to wait for the phones to ship.
Cases and screen protector
I live in canada and really wanted to get the white speck case but when I contacted them about it they said they didn't know if they had any plans to make them, I replied with the link to the att website where its for sale and they replied with a link to the smartphone cases on their website. So helpful!
So going with the otterbox commuter and gonna get the ghost armour screen protector put on at my local mall. So far its the best I have used.

When i push it up, the gray rubber pushes up towards the screen... you can actually see it separate from the black plastic part of the case...

I really wanted a Speck case, but they only had them in white(not a fan) and a crazy purple & blue thing (REALLY not a fan)

I have the nillkin in black and the rearth in white. They are both super slim and nice l cause they add grip so I can do a lot with one hand now. I'd recommend both to anyone. And the nillkin I bought on eBay for 7 bucks with shipping included and the rearth was 10 on Amazon, although this was 3 weeks ago so they might have went up in price by now

I have the translucent, frost colored one, looks good on my white N7000.. They are a pain to take off, usb cable does not fit in the port properly and pops out easily. It's also disposable, I imagine after 6 months it will look pretty ratty. That all said, I like it, it's very thin. I bought 3 for $6 shipped. So I'm set for a while.
There's no thinner case than no case at all. The back is replaceable for less than what you pay for a case if it gets scratched or cracked.
With a thin case, you're not getting much shock protection against a drop anyway, so the only thing that worries me is the finish around the edge trim wearing off, so I use a bumper.

I bought this case and got it within a week from china. Simply amazing is the only way to describe it. It fits perfectly on the phone, it leave the "naked" feel of no case yet still offers some protection. Sure if you drop it the phone will still get damaged but for me I don't have to worry about throwing it down on my desk and scratching the phone up. I loved it so much I bought another one... My two complaints are 1. the usb port cutout of a tad too small and some wires don't fit all the way so they pop out. 2. It's nearly impossible to get this thing off the phone once it's on because it's so thin I feel like I'll break it trying.
The only bad thing about that case is that the sides are not really protected. Other than that, it's not a bad case at all.

I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.

REVIEW of Artech 21 Italian Leather

I was recently fortunate enough to be chosen to review a new case for the LG G4. I have been using a versus wallet case for my note 4 off and on (depending on work etc etc) so I was excited to try another wallet case!
First impressions of the case-
I received very quickly from Amazon and good packaging making sure case wasn't flattened. I think you can tell a lot about a product by shipper/seller's packaging. Very well packaged ready to go. I immediatley put my G4 (leather back edition) and it stuck like glue. I tried to get out and could not it was in there good, very good. Very impressed with the strength to hold it. Sold my leather back one and I currently now have a regular gray back one and it fits just as tight. I thought the leather one fit snugly because as you know the leather is a little thicker but both fit very tight and will not go anywhere. Leather is very nice and much better then my note 4 versus case. Feel is superb and it even smells like real leather!!!! Very impressive! Onto a little pro/con list for the Artech21 Full Leather Case.
Pros:
Feel of leather (best feel of a leather case)
Quality of leather (best leather on a phone case I have seen)
Stitching (some of the best I have seen)
Clasp (best I have seen, very small yet sturdy and hides away when case open unlike others)
Cons:
Cutouts by camera/volume buttons (short explanation needed here imo, just a little funky looking does not effect case or functionality just worth mentioning, could just be because it was one of the first produced)
Top/Bottom bezels are exposed (can't complain a whole lot here as my versus case on my note 4 is the same way and haven't seen another wallet case that is enclosed completely)
Neither are deal breakers
A few photos to show quality and color of it.
Personally I love the tan color some may not as they also offer a nice vintage brown (very dark color)
This photo shows the cutouts off center a tad around power/volume buttons
A look of it laying flat and the little strong clasp
Close up of clasp
Ignore the dust on the screen, my new screen protector isn't here yet lol
Notice the quality difference in the leather, Artech is much higher and not cheap like versus
Notice both are open at both ends. In a perfect world it would be closed all the way around the bezels
Notice how with the tiny clasp it sits flat compared to the versus note 4 case which will not lay flat

Got one on ebay just like that with no brand name on it About $5. Absolutely creases the leather. Also wore down one edge a bit from when I was doing battery swaps, from taking it on and off. Otherwise nice.

Sorry, this took forever:
Any pics of the damage done to the back cover? Maybe shouldn't consider it at all if it damages the leather...

The creases are barely visible. they could probably be massaged out eventually. I'll get a pic today (hopefully)
The way I see it; It's somewhat attractive in itself, it protects the phone from scuffs, scratches, and possibly a cracked screen, etc. far less worrisome outcome than a crease on a $30 replaceable leather back-plate.
...and this is really only a problem if you decide you want to remove the case indefinitely and are annoyed by those creases staring back at you... just drop $30 bucks, problem solved. (Your leather back will wear regardless if it goes uncovered.)
But, I totally get you... whats the point of buying a protective case if it damages the phone? seems backwards, I get it.
I've NEVER seen a phone case that makes a phone look better than one without, or doesn't add weight or bulk...
You gotta compromise somehow.
You could also get an original plastic back, alleviating the whole crease thing for $12-15.
---if you're handy with a Dremel or a small file, try tapering the square edge that touches the leather back, and putting a felt strip there. It wont be visible when the case is on.
...reminds me of my mom, who always puts a cheap plastic film over her iPhone screen to prevent scratches... but in a week the film is full of scratches that the glass would have resisted. The whole point of keeping the screen optically clear is now null and void by that nasty screen cover. If the principle here is to maintaining a good visual appearance, go naked, be careful and run a risk. If you're just trying to protect an investment, cover it up.
For the record, My Z3, S5, Nexus 6, G4 and Note 3, have always gone uncovered. I've dropped the Nexus once, but still haven't learned a lesson from it.
been using that aluminum bumper on my plastic back g4, and it has scratches on the back where the aluminum meets the plastic. I would never put it on a leather back, there's plenty of reviews saying how it damaged the leather backs. It even warns against it in the description. I wouldn't put it on at all without a screen protector on for fear it would damage the front.
It does give the phone a great feel and good protection though.

thanks for the pics =)
how does it actually feel on hand ? compare to naked ?
naked g4 feels pretty good but i guess the bumper will destroy the feel ?
also coming from galaxy phones im worried about the chrome bezel. Will it peel after a time ?

I've not heard of any reports of peeling, just scratching.

I wouldn't buy the LG Leather case. If you look on XDA, many people are complaining about the leather wearing off, simply because they had put the phone in their jean jacket. The LG is $80 and it looks like it is sprayed on.
I purchased the Pierre Cardin from Ebay and it is quite a bit better than the LG...plus only $18 with free shipping.
Here is the link:
