    Iphone 4 Bumper

    • Written by from Wilmington

    23 of 25 people found this useful

    I am a minimalist when it comes to protective covers for the iPhone 4. I like the bumper design. It gives good protection if the phone is dropped, plus it leaves the beauty of the iPhone 4 intact for all to see. Also, I don't have an issue with the glass getting scratched. The bumper has raised edges that recess the glass about 3/32 of an inch. I don't like enclosing it in a case, or degrading the great display with protective film. I think a case and/or film defeats the purpose of purchasing a beautiful IPhone.
    However, I do agree with one reviewer who said the bumper's rubber edge deteriorates over time. If, like me, you are constantly using a pocket to store your iPhone, then the rubber around the plastic frame will only last about a year before the rubber starts to dry out and tear. My wife's IPhone 4 bumper is now 20 months old and doing fine. I threw my bumper away after about 12 months. I have since cracked both the front and back displays and just recently replaced them both myself.
    Lesson learned. After I finish writing this review, I am going to order another IPhone 4 Bumper just like I had before.

    I bought this for my Verizon iPhone 4 and was very happy. I love the look and feel of it, and the buttons are very easy to access. It fits with the various docks and cables, so I was very pleased. I haven't had it long enough to tell if it has scratched the metal band like in other reviews, but so far I haven't been able to notice any. Besides the price of $30, it is fantastic. I love the feel and look and definitely reccomend it.

    Another over priced low quality product from apple. This case cost me £26 and all it has done is scratched my iphone. All it is is a rectangular piece of plastic i bought a bumper case and 4 screen and back protectors from ebay for £2.75.

    Best iPhone protection ever

    • Written by from Dunedin

    I'm from NZ and just got my black bumper for iPhone the other day.It looks great on the phone and compliments it rather than spoil the phone like some other cases.Looking at the comments,the more negative comments are from 2010.We pay $55 here but its worth protecting an important investment.I've tried other cases from either online and town stores but nothing compares to this as I got tired of rubber bricks or loose leather cases that flip open.

    -Less of a case is better.Truly Apples genius design.
    -Has no back cover but this is good anyway because it shows off the glass on both sides.99% of other cases cover the back glass up.
    -It raises the glass just enough for protection but its not too thick and every edge is protected.
    -Some say its to loose but mine feels rigid enough and comfortable in my hand.
    -Black on a black phone makes it look as professional, if not more,than no bumper at all.
    -I'm keen to try more colours as time progress but for now its awesome.
    -The silence switch requires long fingernails but its not a deal breaker.
    -I havnt had any stainless steel scratches that others report in their reviews.
    -Stick with genuine Apple products.

    Bottom of case too rigid - almost sharp

    • Written by from St Albans

    4 of 5 people found this useful

    This is a replacement for an original version which had worked well
    This newer verse has a rigid plastic on the bottom where the charger would be inserted which is uncomfortable in normal use.
    I've had to change the way I hold the phone it's that uncomfortable which is ridiculous
    I will buy a different case next time

    $30 for a case that falls apart

    • Written by from Aurora

    While I initially liked the minimalism of this case, it has proven to be poorly constructed. Granted, it's probably a year-a-half old, but I expected better. The rubber edges have been separating from the plastic frame over time. While I have been super-gluing the case for months, it's time to toss it. Granted, I got the bumper for free via "Antennagate" but that's no excuse for poor construction. Just wanted to provide this review for those considering wasting $30.

    Worth every cent

    Great example of the genius of Apple design. Harder plastic rim around the edge takes the brunt when you drop your iPhone and soft rubber rim on both sides protects glass on front and back more than you would ever imagine. My current Bumper shows very little wear after about a year except the tiny scratches on the corners from iPhone being dropped. The price is a bargain for what you get. My advice - buy the "Bumper" and don't look back.

    I use the black bumber every day; and the only minus is, that the dirt collects in the corners. Otherwise very lovely..

    Looks great but I've had myne about 6 months and the bottom is cracked and the rubber is comming off at the top where it touches the plastic next to the headphone port. And it also scratches the stainless steel... But other than that it's a great case:)

    Poor durability

    • Written by from New York

    22 of 26 people found this useful

    The major plus is that it is less intrusive in size than most iPhone cases which have a back.

    HOWEVER, the average life expectancy of the bumper case before it falls apart in my hip pocket is at best 6 months. Thus $60 a year to replace makes this a very expense accessory.

    Faulty Rubber but Great Bumper!!

    • Written by from Castleblayney

    6 of 11 people found this useful

    The bumper has worked extremely well for me since the iphone 4 came out. However, in the past month or so the rubber around the glass is chipping and peeling away. I am going to replace it with the exact same bumper because I liked it so much. The problem now is that it is difficult to find in phone shops... they all have cheap plastic bumpers so I will have to order online from apple.

    May or may not be worth the money

    The case was great the first couple of days using it, then the color started to fade and then I dropped it and it still broke my screen so its up to you whether or not you want this case. ( It only put a couple of scratches on the screen ). Otherwise, it is a good case. Doesn't fall off and doesn't lose its shape. Doesn't affect it's shape which is nice but may crack at the bottom. In the end, its still your choice.

    Worked well for me.

    Must admit I thought at £20+ that it seemed expensive at the time. However 20 months on and it's only in the last couple of weeks that the rubber has split to the extent that it needs replacing. Took the bumper off the first time since I put it on and not a scratch to be seen around the sides of the phone!

    Works well in combination with the apple screen protector as the bumper just covers the edges of he protector, meaning it hasn't peeled since I put it on at the same time I got the bumper.

    I agree that it limits the choice of headphone jacks etc.

    My reasoning when I bought it was why have one of the smartest looking phones available and cover it in a bulky plastic case? Will be buying another for 20 more months of phone protection.

    All in all, the case is realitvely good. It should probably protect your iPhone 4 or 4S from a drop 6 feet above concrete. HOWEVER, I would take it off EVERY night, when using it, just to make sure that it won't scratch your phone. A good case. That's all I can say, I would recommend it.

    I have the white iPhone 4S, and just bought the green bumper from Apple. It's great. It fits perfectly, looks good, and doesn't really push up my screen protector. It's the best case I've had , for sure would recommend it
