    Good idea Terrible design!

    • Written by from Gimli

    The raised edge of bumper means it provides protection though minimal to front and back scratches and protects in a fall, however the rubber quickly falls apart and renders the case useless. Mine broke within two months. (it was part of the free case campaign) as much as i love apple products for a product that only lasts two months it is not worth it.

    Terrible quality and expensive

    • Written by from Cardiff

    Bought this as I didn't want an ill-fitting cheap alternative. Had it for 2 weeks and the metallic button on the top fell off continually without any help leading to me lose it, then the '+' button did the same after about 6 weeks. Then after 4 months the rubber started to separate from the plastic on the top corner. Thought it was a one-off until I got my girlfriend one which had the same faults after 3 months. Now bought a pack of 5 for £15 from a general website which are 10 times better

    idle bumper

    • Written by from Roma

    I don't recommend buying such a bumper. I believe it is not worth the price you pay! My bumper went broken in 4 months since its purchase, literally piece by piece.

    Damages metal aerial strip

    • Written by from Sevenoaks

    Had the bumper case since buying the iphone new. First time I removed it was yesterday, after 7 months, to find that the metal aerial strip was badly scuffed all the way around. Took the iphone back to Apple Bluewater and the store replaced it with no issues at all - credit to the company but still, bit of an own goal designing a protective case the actually damages the hardware more than if it was absent!

    Avoid!

    • Written by from Springvale South

    Horrible! The case left scratches and marks all around the silver part of my phone. It was meant to prevent scratches and marks yet created all of them! There are raised plastic lines within the case that do this. It rubs against the phone.

    Only lasted 8 months

    • Written by from Thames Ditton

    I got this free from Apple when they were on their Antenna-gate damage limitation exercise. I treat my iPhone with great care so am disappointed to see that the rubber bezel between the Home button and the charging port has started to split after only 8 months of use. I like the look of Apple's bumper cases but am surprised and disappointed by their poor quality and high price. Mine's about to die but I most definitely won't be shelling out 26 quid to replace it.

    Didn't Last

    • Written by from Boise

    Got the bumper free with my iPhone 4. It lasted just over a week. After a few days, the rubber began separating from the plastic until the rubber eventually snapped off completely. Co-worker's lasted only a few days longer than mine did.

    Damaged my phone

    • Written by from DOUGLAS

    It's scratched the he'll out of the metal band on my phone.
    I'm really unimpressed and think apple really need to test these bumpers before sale.

    I've tried several cases and this one works best

    • Written by from Signal Mountain

    This case seems to work best out of the cases I've tried. It doesn't come with anything to protect the screen and it is true that dirt will get under it and scratch the metal band. I fixed this problem by buying the invisible shield maximum coverage which covers both sides of the iPhone plus the metal band. This seems to be the most effect way of keeping my iPhone safe. I have dropped it several times and it seems to protect it from any damage. I would recommend this case to anyone.

    iPhone 4 bumper Black & White

    • Written by from Tamworth

    I know I got the bumper for free when the phone was released but I would have expected it to have lasted longer than a month or two before it started to fall apart. That is both the black and white version of the bumper.
    The top near the headphone jack pulls apart and the rubber peels from the plastic, (a weak point I'm guessing), also near the power jack the two sides peel away from the plastic as well, (another weak point I'm guessing).
    It also makes the phone wierd to hold as it is very thick compared to the phone. Lastly, the white version of the bumper for some reason become very discoloured over time turning from a nice white/grey colour to a dull grey/black.

    Great Case!

    • Written by from Greenwood

    I own this case as well as an Incase Snap Case and an Incase Slider. I find myself using my Apple Bumper the most of the 3. Love it! It looks better than the other 2 on my phone and provides the protection necessary to keep my phone in good condition.

    It hasn't caused any scratches to appear on the rim either. The reason others are getting scratches on theirs is because they aren't taking good care of their phones. With any case you should periodically remove the case and clean the inside of the case, as well as the areas of the phone the case is against. Dirt/dust will get trapped in any case over time and can cause scratches if not taken care of.

    Only con is that the dock opening at the bottom of the case isn't quite big enough for some of my older iPod/charging cables, but I can live with that.

    it scraches your phone

    • Written by from LONDON

    very badly designed, never took it off until recently and found out the phone has been badly scrached, and the apple store has replaced it for me, although they tried to avoid the resposibility at the beginning saying its "the dust scraches the phone" but how on earth the dust get in as I never took it off. Anyway I had my replaced after talking to the manager, and they cant just simplely fix it as iphone4 has been designed as an intergrated unit.

    Overpriced for how short it lasts

    • Written by from Portland

    Really disappointed that my Bumper is now disintegrating. The rubber is pulling away from the plastic and there are large spots where the glue is not working. $30 is just too much. $10 and I would have bought a few different colored ones.

    My Honest Review

    • Written by from South Burlington

    When I was first looking to get a case for my new Verizon iPhone, I was very skeptical about getting this case because of all the negative reviews and people saying it scratches the antenna band. That said, I have had this case (BLACK) since the Verizon iPhone came out in February and it hasn't yet once scratched my phone or fall apart. This keeps the phone looking good and its nice and slim. I admit, it's not the best of protecting the whole phone, but it does making the phone easier to hold and protects of from sliding on tables and scratching the bottom. Maybe since this is now a universal case for ATT and Verizon they adjusted some of the material or something, but mine works great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their iPhone looking like it was made to look like and not a big bulky case that takes away the design.

    I only give this a 4 of 5 stars cause it doesn't protect the phone from the back, you would need a invisible shield or something, but I don't even have that and I don't have a scratch.

    Great for a free case, but....

    • Written by from Norfolk

    I got the case for free so I shouldn't complain, but I hold Apple to a higher standard then most companies. This product does not hold up to the Apple name. After about 8 months the rubber is pulling away from the plastic and the case will not grip the phone properly. I am glad I didn't pay for this case and never would.

    Nice - until it falls apart

    • Written by from Coral Springs

    I liked this product for the first several months. Now just recently it started falling apart. The phone in no way gets tossed around or abused. When I took this bumper case off my phone there were numerous scuff marks all over the edges of the phone that I can't seem to get off. For the $30 price they want, you do NOT get your money's worth. Because of the deterioration so soon, what I originally liked quickly turned into a huge disappointment. I do not recommend this product.
