    Good

    This is a good bumper, it does not cover either the front or the back. The bumper raises the phone from any surface, for instance a table surface. That way the front and back wont get scratched.
    A negative thing is the dirt that builds up under the rubber bumper, if you dont clean it once in a while, the metal frame will get minor scratches.

    By far this is the best phone protection I've ever used. It's sleek not to big and most of all it does not leave any scratches on the edges of the phone and I've been using it for about 4 months now.

    Lasted 12 Months

    I bought a black bumper the day the iPhone 4 came out last year to protect my phone. It looks sleek and I've never had any issue with the phone. It's been on my phone for the entire year+. I very rarely remove the case. About a month a go, the rubber started to peel away from the case. It no longer looks attractive. However, I will probably buy one to replace it because it protects the phone, is thin, and looks better than any other case.

    More aesthetic than protection

    I got my Bumper with the Apple Case Programme. If you're one to use third-party equipment or the iPhone 4 Dock then don't bother with this. The case will begin to wear and split as you keep removing it. If you're happy using the standard earphones and a dock cable then the Bumper should be fine. As for protection I've never dropped my iPhone so couldn't comment on how much protection the Bumper provides you.

    I used this case for a good 6 months, it was the only case for an iPhone 4 at the time so it wasn't by choice that i used it. I'm glad that i did though, it protects the front and back glass and it looks sleek. I'm thinking about getting one in all of the colors.

    Damaged my iPhone

    The was part of the free case due to lack of good reception. The case is loose, the mute button is hard to get to. It stops old accessories fitting to the phone and headphones with a thick fitting. Worst of all it scratch the iPhone on the sides.

    OK

    This product is OK and when i say ok, i mean just OK. I have had it for 6 months, And today a part of it tore. I then proceeded to remove the bumper to find extensive scratching of the aluminum band. I will be returning to the apple store, to purchase another case, and i now have to find another case that i like and that will hide the scratches.
    Thanks a Bunch Apple.
    (Moral of the story?, Buy a different case even if u prefer the bumper slightly better. Its just not worth wasting the money.)

    iPhone bumper is the best idea

    • Written by from Riyadh

    15 of 19 people found this useful

    I've been using the iPhone bumper since I purchased my iPhone 2 months ago, and my opinion this is the best protection case which covers minimum of the iPhone so it won't cover the beautiful design of front and back of iPhone and the best thing is that yhe bumper elevates the iPhone's front and back body from the surface so it won't get scratch although the glass is anti-scratchable I didn't even apply the transparent film protector. After using the bumper for two months and today i removed it while writing this review, I scrutinized my iPhone and it doesn't have any scratch on it. I am proud of u Apple and adore u Steve Jobs may god give u and ur company more n more success.

    black Bumper scratches the iPhone!

    • Written by from Stuhr

    16 of 22 people found this useful

    Guys, before you start using your black Bumper, buy a full body film to cover your headset( i.e. iWrap), otherwise your iPhone will get scratched all around. They say it is because of the dust and some other tiny things that come inside the bumper, but i used to clean the inner side of the bumper very often and i still got those scrathes. If you take a look closer to the inner side, you'll find out that the inner side of the bumper is not as flat and soft as it should be!

    the bumper did exactly what i needed from it; an elevated surface keeping the front and back glasses raised, and a silicone casing for the frame. I haven't had any problems so far.

    Damaged my iPhone's antenna

    Got this case as part of the free bumper case program. It looked nice for a month but when I took it off it had made marks on the metal antenna.

    This case is an overpriced piece of garbage. Look for an altenative that Apple has not had a hand in manufacturing!!!

    bumper

    • Written by from Salem

    7 of 8 people found this useful

    I bought the bumper online shortly after the phone was released and was reimbursed due to the free bumper program. It has done a decent job for the year that I have owned it but I have some issues. Other aftermarket charging cables wont fit in the docking port once the bumper is on, making me have to remove the bumper to charge/syncing the phone.Initially, the bumper fits perfect and the buttons work great and I like the stylish looks. This stretches the bumper and tears away the rubber. This could be avoided if you only use apple accessories (which is probably the goal). I like the minimalist protection. The rubber does cause the phone to stick when attempting to pull it out of my pocket at times. I also utilize a invisible shield for total minimalist protection. Now that the rubber is almost completely torn, $30 sounds a little steep to replace. I will explore less expensive options that may offer other color options.

    I dropped my phone on the sidewalk with this case on and the iphone screen cracked. I might as well have not had anything on my phone at all.

    I purchased the white Apple bumper and I started noticing after a few weeks that the rubber on the sides of the bumper were starting to deteriorate. I thought when I spent $29-32 I was getting a great product but turns out I could of just spent $5 at the mall kiosk and saved some extra money. These bumpers WILL fall apart easily, forewarning.

    Perfect for a minimalist case

    • Written by from TOWSON

    This case has a nice snug fit and provides the perfect amount of coverage for light drops and when laying down on a table. The rubber edges stick out just enough you can lay it down on each side and the glass will not touch the surface. Also the rubber makes it non-slip. The overall case is simple, light and mine has survived a nice fall on the road on the corner of the phone with no damage to the phone. Also very easy to pop off to give the phone a good cleaning. Great case for what it is. Certainly not for the person who drops their phone a lot or is careless about where they put it. Otherwise, looks nice and works great.

    Not durable

    • Written by from Vancouver

    I've had this nicely designed low-profile case for 6 weeks. I like how it fits the phone and is easy to use with the buttons and cable outlets.

    However, it cracked at the bottom where the power outlet plugs in. Not really worth 30 bucks if it lasts 6 weeks.

    Not sure what I'll do from here.

    In less than a year, case has become loose. It moves while in my pocket turning the mute switch off and on. Also has begun to tear apart. Can't believe Apple put it's name on this one. For $29 I would recommend a different case.

    £26 for this??

    • Written by from Bristol

    This is an atrocious waste of money. Considering this was a remedial measure to placate those affected by the 'death grip', Apple now have the audacity to charge over £25 for it; a plastic band with a bit of rubber.

    Look elsewhere, look for something not made by Apple, Spek/incase are far superior, cost less and look better.

    Will scratch your phone

    • Written by from Brisbane

    This is a nice concept but after 6 months use the rubber trim has come apart from the plastic, and now that I have taken it off I can see it has scratched up all of the metal sides on the phone. Do not use if you want to protect the phone.
