Good review Larry. Someone posted here I think and said he dropped his phone and the front screen broke. What's your take on that?
How would this compare to the Otterbox commuter in protection in your opinion? It appears it offers better protection than the commuter because of the more heavier duty bumper compared to a hard plastic shell/silicon combo with the commuter.
I guess it's all about how the phone lands. Base One Labs has some video on their site where they drop the phone a few times from some pretty serious distance and it survives. I've always subscribed to the belief that if I drop my phone onto a hard surface like concrete there's a good chance I'll be kissing it goodbye.
The Commuter is slimmer for sure but covers more surface area. I don't know if I can say one protects better than the other.
Hey everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that we have confirmed that impactband fits the Verizon iPhone 4 perfectly.

Hey guys, I just wanted to share some pics of my Impact Band that I've been using for the past week. To be quite honest, I love it. I was afraid it was gong to make the phone feel too big but it really doesn't at all (in my opinion). There is absolutely no bubbling on my screen protector. The bumper is extremely well made. The fit is perfect and the density of the material doesn't allow for any part to sag at all. I've definitely found my case/bumper. If you purchase this case, I really don't think you will be disappointed at all.

Well I've received a lot of questions about it so I wanted to confirm it on MR. Also if you use the code GEN2 at checkout you can get $2.00 off your purchase.![]()
Thanks for the code, and you actually get $5 discount.. so it's $20 shipped. I just ordered it yesterday lets see how it compared with y current cases when it arrives. I drop my phone a lot so I need great protection but at the same time would love to use a carbon fibre back.
Nice pictures. Does it pickup pocket lint?
What's it like near the edges of the screen, is there enough room for your fingers to touch the areas you normally would?
Oh DAMNIT...I just got mine yesterday and I love it. I would've waited for colors. lol.
I got mine yesterday in the USPS priority and let me tell you...great great case. It's basically a beefed up bumper with ACTUAL drop protection, kinda like how the original bumper should have been.
It does add bulk but because it isn't around the ENTIRE phone, when holding it you are still holding the glass of the phone so it doesn't feel extra bulky.
While I wasn't brave enough to test it out like the demonstration video on BaseOneLab's site, I did drop it from waist level to the concrete of the stockroom I was in today (3 times) and the phone is fine, one time it even flipped over onto it's face. I feel confident that almost anywhere I drop my phone with this case that it will survive.
