Apple iPhone 4 Bumper - White

I have a white bumper on my black iphone 4. It looked awesome and sleek for about a week or so, but after a month and a half it looks terrible. The rubber part of the bumper is gray, dingy looking, and chipped and peeling in places. The white plastic looks just as bad and it looks like there's a clear film that's wearing off.

Overally, very disappointed in Apple's first attempt at a case. I know it was free through the rebate program, but now I have to look for another case that doesn't look terrible. It's not as if I store my phone at the bottom of a bag of rocks and dirt, it's usually in a pocket in my purse or stuck in the back pocket of my jeans. …More

I initially liked the white/grey bumper for my white iPhone 4S for the minimalist design with nice metallic look cover buttons. The rubberized edges provided good protection for corner drops, though the glass surfaces would still need a film for protection.

However, the rubber would take on dye from clothing very easily. The bumper itself began to become loose after multiple removals. After about a year I realized that the interior of the bumper had started to rub the metal band in a way that took away the matte finish here and there. I did not expect that, but it makes sense that a flexible bumper or case would rub against the phone and possibly cause damage, especially if dirt got inside. I had tried a fully flexible case once and noticed scratches on the back glass the first day I used it (probably from sand that got into the case and moved around).

I do not recommend the bumper or any flexible case. Go with a good hard case that won't rub against the phone. …More
