The apple store says they are ONLY carrying the BUMPERS today. The ATT store has the ifrogz cases like have been posted here in like 3-4 different colors. Thats the only casing options for now, best I can tell.
 
Seems like the bumper is a lot thinner than I originally anticipated. Is that correct? Seems to hug the iPhone very well. Is it bulky/thick? How does it feel in your hand? Comfortable?
 
Do you have a dock? I didn't think they were shipping yet. I just want to make sure you tested the fit for yourself and not just going off of your suspicions.

I bought it in the apple store this morning, the bumper makes it two wide - not talk much as it is possible to get the dock connector in half way.

I bought two iPhone 16GB with the OH. The put this order as one, then both iPhones on their own too!
 
Hoping to snag a bumper this evening. Anyone know what kind of stock Apple stores have? I wasn't going to get anything but screen protectors, but after holding the thing I feel less confident about the glass during an impact.
 
I wasn't going to get a bumper either, but hearing about the signal problems almost convinces me I should get one. I wish the case I have for my 3G would fix the 4. Too bad my AT&T FAN discount doesn't work at Apple!

Cardiff, UK had a fair amount on display and weren't 'selling' from what I could see.
 
Seriously, no white iPhone and only black bumpers at launch?

Seems odd for Apple to announce prematurely and not deliver, especially at this magnitude.
 
I'm curious- are they sort of.... uh... sticky? Rubbery? Like will the let the phone slide in and out of your pocket?

I'm really curious because I love the way my 3G goes in and out of my pocket.. i'm curious how iP4 will feel doing this and am still debating if I want a bumper.... or wait for a cool 3rd party case that strikes me.

It is a bit odd.

It has plastic slippery surface in the middle and then a rubber type bit as the edging.
 
Looks like some earphones aren't going to fit though; the Shure e3c for example which have a thicker plug area around the jack.
 
I like my bumper too but I have two issues with it:

  1. The older USB-Dock cables that locked in place no longer fit
  2. The buttons on the bumper rattle when I put the phone down

Other than that I think it'll be perfect with some protectors on the back and front glass.

Yeah, Apple sucks....what a horrible company :rolleyes: They are seeing demand for one product like no other company has before. IMO - they are handling it much better than the previous iPhone launches. They are one of the few companies that learns, unlike AT&T.

He was nowhere near that dramatic. All he said was that it was uncharacteristic. He didn't say he hates Apple, or that they suck... nor did he infer that.

I wasn't doubting you, I just want to make sure it had been tested. Thanks for the update. I guess that just means that I won't be needing the dock I ordered. :) I guess I'll be sending that back.
 
eh....I still think naked is the way to go. I have a sliding case for my 3g for protection in my pocket and when I use the phone I use it naked.

Its so cool looking - why cover it up? And I am not understanding the signal loss with bumper questions - are people claiming the bumper prevents signal loss?

Sounds like it.

If that is the case it looks like bumpers should be included with every iP4 and not just an accessory.
