I just recently got a bumper cuz the incase snap smoke didn't fit well with my power support front and back SP....I've been using the griffin reveal and I loved it but I am gonna try out the bumper. I read that the bumper scratches the iPhone. Where does it generally scratch it? The antenna aluminum sides?
 
There have been suggestions of people saying the bumper scratches the side of the metal band. But it isn't actually the bumper that scratches the phone. It's the bits of lint and sand and crap basically in peoples pockets that get in between the bumper and the phone. Can be very abrasive.

My suggestion is by all means put the bumper on. But just take it off every so often and clean inside the bumper and the phone. I put the bumper on every so often but haven't had any scratches on the phone. Or you can put one of those skins that go on the side of the phone and then put the bumper on top of it.
