    It's okay, but...

    At first I really liked it - looks good, fits nice and snug on the phone, provides a nice grip. However, as soon as I got into my car, I went to hook my phone up to the little jack so I could use the iPod, and the hole in the case for the jack is so small, it doesn't fit! Grrr! It just barely accommodates the jack from earbuds the phone came with. It seems ridiculous to go buy a new jack for my car just to accommodate a case, so essentially, this case is useless to me.

    Diappointing

    My first impression was good. I liked that it still showed off the design of the phone, while protecting it fairly well. Then I found that half of my charging cables (the older style that locked into the port) couldn't click into the port and wouldn't charge the phone without removing the case. I felt that the case wiggled around too much during normal use, but that didn't bother me too much. Now, after less than 4 months of use this $30 piece of plastic is broken (part of the softer rubber ripped) and slips off the phone. I'm disappointed that even with very gentle use this Apple designed product has failed so quickly.

    Dirty and expensive

    • Written by from Malov

    I bought this bumper to replace my first cheap bumpers, believing the Apple-product would be better, but shortly after starting using it, it has turned all brown on the matte surfaces. That means my iPhone looks dirty! I have not yet been to the Apple-store to ask what to do, and agree with the other one writing that it cannot be cleaned. It is simply now, a green edge, with brown sides. NOT good! Maybe the black one is ok, but dont buy the colored ones, they are far too expensive for the ugly look they get after few days of use

    Dirty Bumper

    • Written by from New York

    The green bumper looks great on the new, white iPhone for a couple of days. Then it begins to get dirty, and it does not come clean- trust me, I tried and tried. Within a week, it gets embarrassingly dirty... and nobody likes a dirty bumper.

    Would definitely not recommend the product.

    Wasted $$$

    I spent $30 on a bumper made by Apple for my iPhone 4S and neither my VGA or HDMI adapters (both made by Apple for iPhone) will NOT work. The slot at the bottom of the Apple-made bumper is TOO small for any of the Apple-made 30 pin adapters required for any kind of video-out projection. FORM = Cool Look. FUNCTION = Useless. Function matters. LAME.

    Its a must if you don't like bulky!

    It was really hard for me to find a cover that i liked without it being to bulky. The bumper is great!! Fits perfect, has a nice grip and protects really well! Its not bulky at all and shows off the iphone 4s great! Definitely would recommend to anybody who doest like bulky and wants a great look! But of course i also have the protector lining on the face of the phone to not get scratches!!

    Great case but...

    This case is great, fits perfectly, keeps your phone from falling out of your pocket and looks fab, but actually damages the phone after being used for a few months, my metal edges are all skuffed and marked after using this, I also have had the area near the bottom of the case near the 30pin connecter start fraying.

    I will now have to always have a bumper on my phone because it looks so warn underneath it.

    Good design, bad materials

    The two tone look of the bumper is ok. The soft rubber seems to have got engrained with dirt that I can't seem to clean off. I don't know why because I don't take it near the dirt. Disappointing as otherwise the bumper is great.

    Best case ever

    Bumpers and the best ever!! Sure they get dirty but that is why you take care of them!!!
    Gives you way better service and way faster on the 4s!
    I had this bumper for 2 years now it is still fine not damage no scratches, and i normally drop my iphone! And when i dropped my iphone out of my car window when i was taking a picture it was totally fine! When i bought my white iphone 4s I bought screen protesters for the front and back.

    And remember you can return it if toy don't like it!

    IT IS A GREAT CASE!

    Cool Look, but...

    • Written by from Tempe

    I had this case for about 1 week, protected from most falls were normally the screen would break. The one time that the iPhone fell on it's upper left hand corner, the phone bounced and then landed face down... as you can imagine I thought every thing was fine, cause the back glass wasn't broken. Sure enough I pick up the phone and there is this HUGE crack going across the screen and you can tell that it started from that corner and went straight to the center and CRACK! Went to Apple store got the phone replaced, and got a black incase case. My new phone has not cracked/broke yet and I've dropped it multiple times from twice the hight of the other drop. Basically if you aren't clumsy unlike me, this is great case for you, other wise go with a different case...

    Headphones don't work due to thickness of case AND after a month the rubber is terribly dirty - can't clean it. I'm taking it back!

    I love this bumper! I've had it on my phone for about 3 months and I like how you can still see the phone along with protecting it. I can't even count how many times I drop my phone and the bumper protects it every time! There is just enough edge to it that the screen or the back of the phone never touch the ground. I read other reviews where people said it did not fit well but I have had no problems with that, not loose on the phone but easy to take off if I want to. I highly recommend this to everyone with the iPhone 4.

    Solid Purchase

    Overall, I would absolutely recommend the iPhone 4 bumper. It certainly does its job when it comes to protecting the phone. I would know... I drop my phone daily. My only negative comments would include the discoloration and charging capabilities. The rubber on the green bumper turns brown. However, I also have the black, and it looks great. It doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. The only other downside is the inability to use a car charger while the bumper is on the device. Other than that, I think the product is a great investment!

    not happy with this bumper

    • Written by from Clinton

    49 of 60 people found this useful

    Pros: the bumper does protect the phone, fulfilling its primary purpose.
    Cons: the rubber discolors after a short period of time - a couple of months, and looks greyish green. The plastic is still bright green.
    The rubber picks up dye / stains easily. It has picked up a dark stain from the pocket of my incase macbook pro bag.
    The bottom opening and headphone jack opening on the case don't work with most jacks and older charging cables. So unless you're only using the charging cable that came with your iPhone4 and the earbuds that came with it, expect to have to remove the bumper anytime you want to plug anything else in.

    Bottom line: I expected this bumper to last me at least a year, but it's not satisfactory enough to keep. I'll have to buy an alternative.

    i got the bumper on release date along with my phone and it is now pretty much in pieces, i have to remove the bumper for my phone to fit in the dock and to use the aux cable in my car and taking it on and off has made the rubber around the age warp and in places come off completely, not worth the money, didn't even last 6 months

    Gets dirty and stained too fast

    • Written by from Edmonton

    I bought this case after reading a few reviews getting a good impression when I purchased it. It looks very nice and for the most part protects the iphone (no major drops) but I've only been using the case for less than a month the sides are turning GREY.

    I am very cautious with my phone, such as where I place it and making sure my hands aren't dirty and this case turned dirty and grey much to fast. I am VERY disappointed after paying $29.00.

    Great splash of color and perfect balance of protection.

    • Written by from Alhambra

    I recently got the new iPhone4s and decided I wanted to protect it. I really appreciate the aesthetic appeal of the phone and wanted to keep it and also wanted some kind of protection. The bumper was the perfect choice. The almost non existant weight construction and contoured outer design make holding you phone feel even more comfortable. The construction also allows you to still keep identity of the phone apparent. Other cases cover up the design of the phone with their own goofy looking entrapment. The bumper is well exactly that, an outer bumper design. The bumper adds enough of a lip to keep the back and front off any solid surface keeping the device from getting scratched. It fits perfectly with no play, but still easy enough to get on and off when needed. Only draw back is that the phone with bumper on cannot dock into the iPhone 4 dock. But hey I'm in the house when its docked...and why does it need to be protected while its being docked? This perfect balance of protection and minimalistic approach is executed well, and with all the colors to choose from...Why not add a splash of excitement to your phone.

    I love the bumper, the color is great and the protection is exactly what im looking for. I can still see the shiny back and have nothing stuck to the front but also feel protected. Im known for dropping my phone and it has withstood many falls leaving my screen in perfect condition. Since its elevated on both sides the actual phone never touches any surface also leaving it cleaner and without scratches. Its easy to take on and off and doest attract dirt underneath. I dont think ill ever change my case except to another color!
