Got a black bumper about 45 min later after picking up my pre-ordered iPhone 4 from BB.
Grateful I did. I walked in the new Apple Store in Cerritos at about 10:20am and plenty were still left hanging on the side wall as I was on the non-iPhone 4 line to get inside FAST. Only a 5 min wait. Easiest launch day ever for me. I doubt it will ever get better than last week for any other future launch for me. Now I hear these bumpers are all sold out at the stores.
I also have a belt case since I don't like putting my phone in my pocket. Easy to slip. I lost a couple of other phones that way and sometimes I get careless when putting coins and keys in my pocket. I'm also worried of sand too as I do like to go to the beach during the summers.
My phone is still new. Maybe 6-12 months, I will sport it naked once in awhile. But I knew before buying the phone that the design flaw was NOT having a bezel to protect the glass from protruding like that. And before I bought the bumper, I didn't like the edges when I held it naked in my hand for 30 minutes. Felt sharp. I think the phone is an absolute beauty and I can understand people wanting to go naked with it. Best-looking iPhone ever. But just because it is beautiful doesn't mean it is the most comfortable to hold.
Bumper + holster case for my iPhone 4 MOST of the time..( to avoid shattering the glass, slipperiness, and stuff in my pocket).
