I love the black bumper on my phone. I hated the pictures of it, but I love it in my hand. Black on black is the way to go.
 
I assume that you are much more steady-handed than myself, but I dropped my first iPhone and it shattered like a windshield. After that, I got the rubberized Agent 18 Flower Vest and when it was dropped, no damage at all.

That's sort of why...for us slippery-fingers. I also don't like the fingerprints and scratching that happens.

What she said. I'm a klutz. It will break. So I use a case.
 
Loving the black bumper on the iphone4. Very professional looking way to protect the phone without adding too much bulk or detracting from the great look of the phone.
 
How is accessing the silent switch?

You have to use the tip of your finger or nail, quite narrow.

This is a pain in the ass and I may return it after trying it out during regular use. It is really deep in there and having a finger nail or tip to move it can be annoying. A warning to all those who get a bumper.

However, it is a very sturdy case for the phone and does the job of "elevating" the glass off a table.
 
Does anyone know if they carry the bumper cases at Best Buy, Walmart or Radio Shack? I don't really know if I want to venture to an Apple Store today. Especially since I ordered mine for home delivery so I wouldn't have to. :)

I actually see this as a feature, the previous Silent switches have been all too easily set inadvertently to silent, which made me miss calls and texts. :)
 
i got a black one too since thats all the store had. The bumper fits really well in the hand!
 
These need to be given away for free. This is unacceptable and Apple knew about the reception issue. They never made accessories until now? Then only made it so that it covers the sides? :rolleyes:
 
Personally I think the bumpers make the i4 look like every other generation iphone with a case.

Not what I want , but if it allows you to make calls then I guess it's necessary

agreed. i've had my 3GS slip from silent to ring mode in class one too many times...
 
is it hard like plastic , or like a rubbery material?

Both. The outer surfaces are rubbery and the shiny sides are like smooth plastic, the buttons are metallic.

And yes the dock connector orifice is too small for GRIFFIN cables, car charger and additional travel power adapter doesn't work now if the bumper is on.
 
Can't wait to see what the green looks like on mine!

Fedex says it shipped and EDD of July 1st.
