Reviews for Apple iPhone 4 Bumper - Orange

The orange bumper serves it's purpose. It's visually pleasing, and helps prevent your phone from taking so much of a beating. The only problem with the bumper is the color fading out. It took 17 days for the color to fade off to a point where my bumper now just looks dirty. I give it one star because, let's face it, no one wants to pay $30 for something that only lasts two weeks.

I bought the Orange bumper for my phone when I bought it in 4 months ago and after 3 weeks, it was beginning to look dirty and I too was noticing that it was scratching up the stainless steel sides of my iphone. Also, the headphone jack and the data/charging port are only compatible with an Apple cable or Apple headphones which requires you to take the case off an awful lot which isn't preferred but taking it off also began to wear down the case overall...it lost its tension on the phone and the rubber began to peel away from the plastic.

Overall, very disappointed with this considering that I purchased it as an Apple product for $30...I would highly recommend spending less and getting a better case from InCase or such as this product is faulty. I now have a clear hard case from InCase that I am very happy with. Don't make the same mistake and waste money like I did...

I bought the case from Apple's store in Covent Garden.

On the evening of the day that I bought it, I noticed that the case had started to fade, that's within 6 hours of me taking it out of the packaging and placing in on my iPhone 4. The rubbery frame (in my case orange) which actually fits around the iPhone 4 has started to turn grey! So now the hard part of the case around the outside look extra vibrant by comparison.

Also, the case rattles. As if it's hollow and has loose plastic inside.

This is a badly designed case made of very poor materials in my opinion.

Got this case for christmas. Previously, I had the black version of the bumper case that I got through apple's case program.

When brand new, it fits like a dream and looks AMAZING. I was absolutely in love with it for the first couple weeks...

After a while though, the rubber part picks up lots of dirt, and becomes a brown kinda colour, so it loses the really orange look you start with. Now it's a two-tone brown/orange case that looks pretty awful. Even worse: you can't clean it. I've tried many cleaning products and even damaged it slightly trying to scrub it. It's like the case absorbs dirt into the rubber...

Secondly, if you take the case off and on multiple times, it WILL stretch. There are articles on the net talking about boiling the case to get it to fit like new, but I'd rather take it back to apple without it being horrifically warped.

All in all - looks great, feels great. But after a month or so you'll want to buy a new one... or go to the apple store and kick up a fuss! (which I will shortly be doing).

I would love to recommend the apple bumper cases, sadly the type of rubber they chose absorbs dirt, and it stretches and doesn't fit as well after typical use.

Avoid!
