Yeah, I'm sitting there looking at the page and refreshing periodically since the N4 sold out so quickly in Australia.

It doesn't really cover it. All that glass needs some protection.

That's supposed to be your protection, a flimsy $20 bumper? That won't protect much. You can get bumpers at dollar stores for a dollar. Why not use that $20 and get a better case like something from TPU?

eventually new cases will be available obviously.oem cases normally suck.

Seemed to work okay for the Apple folk.

Personally I think they're a waste of money. On something like this I'd either use a full case or go without. I don't understand the point of bumpers on phones like the i4 or this Nexus, with glass on the front & back. The plastic or metal on the edge of the phone isn't going to be damaged as easy as the glass, gorilla or otherwise, which is what is left exposed.

Actually the accessory I would like to see is not even the wireless charging orb, but a dockstation like the Note II has, so I can play games in the TV while the phone is charging using a wireless remote... I really hope someone creates it for the Nexus 4, then I would really feel I need to buy it NOW.
