Thank you very much. I was worried it was this material. That will probably push me to go case-less or wait until I find something better.

It doesn't attract -too- much stuff. Just a little dust. But I LOVE it so far. :) I know what you mean about the "grippy" stuff. It's a pain in the butt to slide in/out of your pocket, & it attracts so much lint/dust. I don't see that happening with the bumper.

How much bulk to it FEEL like it adds?

Not much at all. Just gives you a better grip. It looks thicker in pictures than it really is.
 
Nice bumper pics. I noticed that they're less "rubbery" than I anticipated, and they fit fantastic, even w/a screen protector on front & back.

Fixed my antenna issues, especially being a lefty, I was killing my signal just holding it gently in my hand.

Yes! I have the Wrapsol Ultra installed on mine now, & it fits perfectly. The looseness of the bumper really irritated me, but the screen protector solved that problem. Loving it so far.
 
Can you tell me about the material the bumper is made of? I want to know if its smooth plastic that won't get stuck in your pocket or its that grippy stuff that only comes out of your pocked with the rest of your pocket still attached. TIA

If you've ever seen or used a Speck CandyShell, the two materials used in the Apple Bumpers are almost identical to those. The outside center of the Bumper is like the harder of the two compounds used in the CandyShell (a smooth, firm plastic), and the edges of the Bumper that form the lip around the front and back glass are like the rubbery compound of the inside of the CandyShell. This softer rubber is also the inside lining of the Bumper that actually comes in contact with the phone's antenna. Essentially it's like a CandyShell for just the outside edges of your phone. That's the best and most accurate way I can describe it.

I wish the CandyShell came in green! :D
