Bumper iPhone 5?

Was wondering the same thing. Will need something short term while I wait for someone like zazzle to get something I can customize.
 
I really hope they come out with bumpers for iP5 because its the only case I use (if I even have a case on) with my 4S.
 
The Apple bumpers are okay at best, but at least they provided you with a few month's worth of protection until the real cases came out.

Hell, I would buy one. So I'm not sure why they aren't on the website?
 
I hope they come out with an iPhone 5 bumper, as it's a great compromise to make my phone look different without the full case.

If I recall correctly, the bumper was shown by Apple before the antenna thing ever happened, so I really don't think the lack of an antenna issue will affect how Apple handles iPhone 5 accessories.

Do you know WHY they had bumpers in the past?

If you do, you should know why they will not have them this time.

People still buy them who have no idea about antennagate... It's become pretty popular as a form of minimal protection. They would make some pretty good money if they made them again...

just ordered mines too. something to keep the phone from sliding on my hands for the meantime. good find! 😎
 
Today I received the bumper I had posted about earlier. The quality actually seems great I was pleasantly surprised. To me it looks the same as an Apple bumper, the only difference being the volume and power buttons are rubber versus the metal/plastic ones on the Apple bumper
 
Sgpstore.com will have bumpers soon

They had bumpers in the past because it was an alternative to a case that gave some protection AND still showed off the 4/4s's awesome look. The antenna gate issue had nothing to do with the bumpers. Nice try though.
