Best iPhone 5 Bumper

Hi BearsFan34 I was wondering if you could grab me one of these Target BestCase bumpers if I paid you? I live in the UK and their impossible to find online.

Sure. I'd be happy to sell ya the one I have now. I used it for a grand total of 1 day, I just took it off the iPhone to charge it.

If you'd like, send me a private info with your details and I'll let you know about costs & such. I still have the original box & all materials if you're interested. I got the last one at the store, I've checked two other Target stores near me & they don't carry this same model.

Hi BearsFan34, would that be this one shown here by bludragon06? https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1457613/

I can't seem to find a website for them and they won't pick up the phone :/.
 
Nice! Yeah the only problem is that it does ship from Hong Kong so it might take quite a while (2 weeks or so) to get it. But after endlessly looking for bumpers and bumper reviews, this one seemed to be the best fitting and looking for the price. Some of the really cheap (and some of the not so cheap) bumpers looked to have more of a lip on the back than on the front which I thought would be weird.

Just bought one, just to have around for a goof. I have the Elago Outfit (meh), and waiting for the Caze Slim Matte Edge which I am really psyched for. Unfortunately, my order hasn't shipped yet.

Did you get yours? I was going to order but I saw a recent commenter and said the quality is bad.

And how is the Photive?

I think the fit is great. My only complaints are...

1) I wish the buttons were as responsive as the Apple iPhone 4 Bumper. But, I bought one of the bumpers from Target that had the metal buttons and it wasn't nearly as thin as the Photive. The Photive is closer to having nothing on the phone.

2) I wish the Photive had two of the columns surrounding the lightning port. I think this would stabilize the movement of the bumper in that area. Like this picture.

Sounds good. That exactly was my main concern with that bumper is that it was only one large cutout rather than individual cutouts. I feel like it is better to have individual cutouts not only for protection but structural integrity.

Yes, I agree. The individual cutouts are better, but the case above seems much thicker.

I wish this case was all black. It appears to have the individual cutouts.

Ive had many cases and this is by far my favorite. Its a knockoff from ebay but the quality is amazing compared to my buddies real one. Not sure how thats possible given the $15 price tag on ebay. Unfortunately it looks like the listing was taken down. If I see it again I will post it for you guys.

No signal issues either

I did the same thing but went with red. No signal issues here either! I've not checked for scratches though. Hope no damage is being done! lol

Yeah, I have seen a lot of people on here talk about that one specifically and everyone seems to be raving about it. I too wish it was all black. Not a big fan of the transparent center, it makes it look cheaper than price you pay for it haha. Anyways, I don't know if you saw my previous post but I had seen this review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnP7RzyFPkA) of a bumper and it looked like exactly what I was looking for (individual cutouts and slimmer profile than some of the cheaper bumpers and the one you mentioned) so I purchased it in black (also comes in other colors). Just waiting for it to come!
