My bumper just came a few minutes ago in the mail and I have to tell you, it's AMAZING. It's not bulky at all and it's only a few millimeters thick. Excellent build quality, and it's silicone on the rims, not too much silicone. Still slides into my pocket easily. It will definitely protect the phone from a fall. Best of all, IT FIXED THE RECEPTION ISSUE!

VOTE! (If you ordered one and don't have it yet, don't vote yet)
 
I ordered a girly color so I won't get it until the 1st week of July. Would be nice if it fixes reception. I really hope the bumper wasn't supposed to be the "solution" from Apple. Curious though.
 
I really like the design of my phone but think I'll get a bumper until my Wrapsol comes in the mail for a little temporary protection.

Was thinking of swinging by an Apple Store today to see if they have them in stock.
 
Bought my phone this morning, got it home and after playing with it for a while i decided to go back to apple to get a bumper.

Best bit of that...walking passed everyone in the Q

But yeh, great piece of kit! (should be free though)

Wrapsol will only protect from scratches. Bumper protects from falls. They're two different types of protection.
 
Got my iPhone yesterday and went to the store today where I bought my black Bumper. They had about 4 left after I bought mine. It's amazing so far.
 
I'm thinking about going to the Apple store today (yes I know it's going to be crazy) and checking it out. I just LOVE the phone naked, but I would like to protect it as well. Nothing sucks more than accidentally breaking your phone and knowing a simple case would have probably kept it safe.
 
Got my bumper via Fedex today. It seems to be protecting well. Does anyone know if zagg invisibleshield will be compatible with the bumper?
 
I didn't vote yet because I just picked up the bumper, but at the moment I do seem to have more bars showing.

I'm cool with that.
 
New option: "Don't have one, don't want one, but may be forced to use free one provided by Apple to fix reception issue." 😡
 
Got one, hate it. My headphones didn't fit and old dock connectors didn't either.

Went with the Griffin Reveal, couldn't be happier
 
can someone post a picture of the bumper on the phone?

Sure.

Ordered one.. but don't have it yet. And no idea on if I have reception issues or not since AT&T has been unable to activate my phone for over 24 hrs 🙄
 
I bought one in store this morning, and I really like it. It really doesn't make the phone seem any bigger, and although I didn't have any major reception problems, I do tend to get better service with it. (I lost 1 or 2 bars when touching it.)
