Has your poetic bumper held up?

Mine and my husband's have been fine. It seems like there was a bad batch. Have you contacted them too see if they'll replace it?

Wow - do you take it off/on a lot?

Mine's fine but I have only taken it off a couple of times to clean the screen / back properly.

I've still not decided to stick with the Poetic bumper as I find the sides restrictive around the screen (especially for moving an icon from one screen to another) and it also collects a load of crap around the inner edges.
 
That's not specific to Poetic bumper cases, the official nexus⁴ bumpers are like that too. That's why I prefer it naked.

Yep... I take my official Bumper off and on a lot and the bottom has a small crack now which makes the silver part separate a bit.

My dilemma is such that I want the protection for setting the phone down, but the bumper makes it too wide to use comfortably one-handed. It just feels like a bigger clunkier phone. But when that bumper is off, it's smooth as hell and feels great. The further away I get from the date I received it the more and more comfortable I get just using it naked.
 
Oh man I just got one of these today in the mail. Hope mine doesn't end up like that but it did say on the box that it has a 3 year warranty.
 
Mine has started to split around the charger port. I'll see how it holds up.

I think the problem is that I keep having to remove it to clear the smeg out of the inside edges.
 
well they sent me a new one and said they dont want the old one back but once you go naked with this phone its really hard to get into the idea of putting a case on it
 
We've had two in use with no problems. An early black one for nearly a month, and a purple one for about two weeks.
 
Mine has also split around the charger socket and I haven't taken it off since I got it. Not built for longevity, that's for sure.
