This is just another thing that really makes me think we won't see any external form factor changes this summer. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that Apple will definitely be sticking with the current form factor until 2012.
Ouch. That's really unfortunate. Surprising that one of Apple's own accessories did that. You'd think that they would have taken that into consideration. Was there any dirt on the inside of the bumper?
That's absolutely not true. All phones do not suffer from the death grip. That's just blatantly wrong information.
uhhh it looks exactly the same.
Doesn't look larger at all.
i thought the bumper was no longer needed; the technical issues were resolved?
Also I want a red bumper![]()

Holy crap people... put the orgasms on hold as you marvel at the orifices in this thing. It's just a freaking bumper.
I don't even know why this is of interest to anyone unless they plan on owning both iPhone versions.
Nevermind... I'm sure that will happen.

As mentioned a bit above, there is no way they added (and paid for the addition) manufacturing lines for the phone hardware just to earn a bit more on a couple new bumpers. Simple subtraction would prove that a bad business decision, if you had access to the numbers.IMO, they def moved the button to not allow the new phone to get the "hand me down" bumpers. Now they made a new one, ppl will have to purchase the new style if they want one for the ViPhone. Very smart for them to recoup some money on it. (From a business perspective)
They aren't different, the mute button is higher.I understand that that's what they are saying, but how does the one case fit both when the volume buttons are lower on the verizon one?
Actually I take quite good care of my stuff. Why should I have to remove the bumper every week to clean the inside of the case? Ever notice the hard plastic interior of the bumper case? That mixed with debris causes the scratches. A soft interior would remedy that problem.
I have usually had cases on all my phones. (mainly to protect them a bit from falls) All of them got 'stuff' inside. That is what happens. One of the worst things is oil from YOU. People secrete stuff. I guess if you didn't understand that, you should by now. This is a case/phone issue, not Apple or the iPhone specifically. Don't use a case if you can't handle how they function.Yeah no kidding. There was dirt that got into it yes. But that's why I thought the gasket was supposed to keep dirt from getting in. And every time you take the bumper off, it makes it even more loose...allowing more dirt to get in. It's a rip off product.
Yeah, right. It's shocking to hear there's going to be bumpers that fit the Verizon iPhone.These are one of the few announced accessories that are confirmed to be compatible with the Verizon iPhone 4.

The "free" bumper won't work as well for Verizon owners, I guess. Decent solution to the problem all the same.
Maybe the Verizon iPhone won't need the bumper to solve "the grip" problem. People will just buy it for protection or to add color.
Then again, perhaps I'm wrong and Apple is also full of crap. Some phones work flawlessly despite gorilla hands covering them. Here's PC mag absolutely covering a Droid, BB, and others and the signal is fine:

I'm willing to bet these tests vary by network performance in the area.
All in all, I just feel sorry for users that have to live with US carriers.
I appreciate your compassion. However the Republicans cause us so much trouble we hardly notice the phone problems.![]()
