Nexus 4 bumpers now shipping in UK

Google has begun shipping protective bumpers for its Nexus 4 in the UK. 

Nexus 4 owners confirmed the news on Twitter. 

So if you ordered a Nexus 4 along with a bumper to protect its delicate glass backpanel it should be with you very soon. 

Google is selling the Nexus 4 at cost via its Play store: £239 for the 8GB Nexus 4 and £279 for the 16GB one. The latter has sold out once again and while stock of the 16GB Nexus 4 is still available purchased items won’t be shipped for six to seven weeks. 

Official Nexus accessories have been hard to come by in the past, particularly outside the U.S. So it's a small relief to see bumpers finally arriving with customers in Europe, even if it is more than three weeks after the first orders were placed on Google Play, according to Android Central. 

Initial orders of Google’s Nexus 4 bumpers are now shipping but the item is currently listed as out of stock on Google Play. 

Google has yet to comment on when the bumper will be made available again.
