Reviews for Apple iPhone 4 Bumper - Black

Overall, great look and feel (especially in white) but it isn't a very good case. It doesn't fit my Bose In-ear headphones because the hole is too small. The only headphones I that seem to fit for me are my Bose On-ear and the Apple pair that came with it.

Another thing, the case doesn't fit tight. So when you squeeze your iPhone when you hold it you can feel the case move which makes the case (and my phone for that matter) feel very cheap.

So two stars because it looks great and provides the protection needed (from damage and death grip) but it doesn't fit most headphones and feels cheap.

This bumper case causes seemingly permanent scratches on the edges of the iPhone4. However, I haven't seen any case that retains the iPhone design like this one does. If you can live with the scratches, all well and good. I recommend you remove the case frequently for cleaning together with the iPhone. I just think it's annoying that the case made by Apple causes this sort of wear on the phone.

...most of the accessories I've bought from Apple require you to take the bumper off and then put it back on when you're finished. Eventually this stretches the rubber making it looser and breaks the plastic part at the bottom. I've had mine for about 5 months now and will have to buy another. I like it but it's a pity Apple's own accessories don't take it into account.

I loved the case when I got it, Fits great in your hand. I have been using it for a few months, and now I have skuff marks under the case on the band. Not coming off.
I would avoid this case.

I've had my bumper for about 7 months and it is falling apart. The rubber around the edges is starting to rip off, which is likely due to me taking my phone out of my pocket (I'd consider that normal use). I like how minimalist it is, but I'm not buying any more of these at $30 when it only lasts a few months. At this rate 2 years of coverage would cost me 3 bumpers or $90 - not worth it.

This was a bumper I received free from Apple for the antenna problem. At this point it is useless. When I put it into my charger, the bottom of the bumper came loose and is just hanging there or getting caught on things. I am not using the charger cable, but rather a speaker/charger. Guess I have to replace it with something else already, and I haven't had it that long.

I had this bumper for about two months before it got destroyed by my dog. Not Apples fault obviously. Anyways, I dock my phone every night in the iPhone 4 dock. The iPhone 4 doesn't fit when it has the bumper on, so I would have to take it off every night, or whenever I needed to charge my phone. The rubber got to a point where it would not fit tightly on the phone anymore, and just fall off. It looked good, and works well as long as you keep it on the phone at all times and have no intent on taking it off often.

Hardly have had this for a month and it already scratched the steel band near the mute switch...really disappointing wish the bumper was made out of some mat finish material rather than plastic...

It is a really sleek looking case for the phone especially if you want to show off the beauty of the phone, but not very sturdy. My daughter who is 1 squeezed it together and unfortunately it would not go back to shape even when placed back on the phone. for$ 30 it should be sturdy enough to with stand a 1 yr olds strength. Want buy another unless they go on sale they should only be at most $20 to purchase.

In picture the bumper looked great. It would protect that pretty steel bezel, and help absorb some shock while keeping glass off the floor when dropped. It does okay with drops but the case, which was confusing as it comes from apple themselves, doesn't fit perfecrly. Also, it scratched the steel edge in the corners. That is what killed it for me. My apple case scratched my apple iphone, not repairable.
