Best iPhone 5 Bumper

I have it, and you will be fine. It is all plastic. No "soft" plastic on the inside.
i agree that this will qualify for one of the best iPhone 5 bumpers. though made of plastic & pricey, it is in fact very well manufactured.
Hi, I ordered the power support silver bumper from amazon for £40.
It's pretty solid but it's a bit slippery and gives some volume to the phone. I'm thinking of returning it.
I've used the (Target) BestCase brand bumper for my iPhone 4 for quite a while--basically a good copy of the official Apple bumper. Found the iPhone 5 ones as well, although they are a little less common still--they are basically the same as the iPhone 4 bumpers made to fit iPhone 5.
I did notice that BestCase had an iPhone 5 bumper that they released around the time the iPhone 5 was released, and it looks like just recently they have slightly updated ones (new revision)--they look almost the same, but it seems that they fit and feel/look somewhat better, which is good.

The zagg perimeter is a pretty nice bumper. The only things I don't like about it are the zagg logo and the dumb lanyard hole on it.
But it's the thinnest bumper I've found and it's the closest thing to the iPhone 4S uco skinny bumper, which was the best damn bumper for the 4s. I hate how most bumpers go over the edge of the phone so much, the zagg barely goes over the edge, but it still has that slight lip for the protection for when you set it on tables and what not.
Just wish it was a cheaper price.
Still looks pretty slick with the glas.tr and aluminum home button from spigen. Really enjoying the setup.

I like the look of these... They are a little pricey though... $85.00

My current setup... Aluminum bumper found on ebay for less that $10.00, a GlasTr, a Spigen Aluminum Home button, and a LuckyLabs rear Carbon Fiber Texture skin... The paint is anodized/ wont scratch off...
This case almost becomes apart of the phone... I locks on with tiny screws and is very light weight/ strong.

I think what you're looking for is the Neo Hybrid EX Snow series (white/silver or all white):

and Neo Hybrid EX Vivid series (yellow/black or all black):

Rec'd/ installed today... "Cleave" found on ebay for $15.00 US. Used with a Spigen GlasTR/ Aluminum Home button and a BodyGuardz Carbon Fiber rear/ side skin... Kinda sexy metal(bare Aluminum/ black painted) light weight, ergo bumper...
go search on Amazon, eBay or any other websites, there are so many cheap and good bumpers, just choose what you like.

Just got mine in the mail today. Great case so far. I think it comes in a couple other colors - I got the green one.

I really like that style and color. How's the quality? Is it worth the price point?

Has anyone tried one of these coverbot bumpers? They look pretty thin, and are a decent price. http://www.amazon.com/CoverBot-Prime-iPhone-Layer-Bumper/dp/B00AE0G4V0
If anyone has one/has tried one, how are they? I'm looking for a decent thing bumper, the one I have now is huge...

I like the colorant case, where can I find one/do you guys sell them? I can't seem to find the patchwork official site, could you lead me in the right direction? Just want to see all they have to offer and find out a little about the company. I've never heard of them before, but I like what I see!
