iPhone 4 and White Bumper - High Quality Pics

Go on ebay and order the SGP Steinheil EX ultra crystal or EX ultra fine protection kit from SGP's ebay store. These guys make the best screen shields so you can put any case onto the phone without them bubbling up. I used them for my 3GS and they are awesome.

I prefer this to Zagg shields because it doesn't require you to use any liquid to stick the shield down. I dont trust any watery fluids near my £600 phone :eek:

In the box you get a screen shield for the back and the front and you get protective film for the stainless steel too.

No probs :D I've ordered the crystal set, but I am looking to get the fine ones too.

The main difference is the crystal is as the name suggests crystal clear. It wont interfere at all with your viewing of the screen and you cant even see its on. The only problem I had with these on the 3GS is that they get fingerprints because it doesn't not have the oleophobic coating.

To solve the fingerprints I got this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SGP-STEINHEIL...asesPouches&hash=item4150aa09e1#ht_6913wt_862

The fine set is a matte finish screen shield for the back and front. It makes viewing the screen slightly fuzzy/frosty but you will get used to it after a while. But I guess this would defy the point of the retina display :p But the matte finish keeps all fingerprints away from the phone. Also with these on you wont be able to see any reflections on glass.
 
Not bad. gotta keep this short. The cafeteria at work closes at 2pm and I am craving an ice cream sandwich :)

I've never had an Apple product shipped to me from China directly. Every product I've bought has been shipped from Cork, Ireland. iMac, iPods, cases everything.

Not sure where the bumper is being shipped from. :eek:

Ah I gotcha. I thought I remembered people from Europe tracking their new iPhones coming from China and my wife's bumper was shipped from China.
 
I odered one on Apples site it says 3 weeks to ship.

Is it usually correct, or are people getting them earlier than what it said when you pre-ordered?

Thanks for your help :cool:

Took a shot at one of my local apple stores and I bought the last white bumper they had!

Fit is def looser than the black one and it's kind of annoying.

Hoping my sgp cube backing and crystal protector will tighten it up nice and snug

Does anyone know if a front and back skin will make this tighter?

Sorry I realised the link I posted for youtube is incorrect. The manufacturers have removed the video I meant to show you, which has them installing both front and back screen shields. :eek:

The one you want is 'Steinheil EX Ultra Clear' or Ultra fine. The packaging should say EX on it and underneath that it says Ultimate full body protection.

If you get it off ebay make sure you buy from the actual company that makes these, not a random. Search for the username 'Unitedsgpcorp' then view their shop and look at the links under iPhone 4 products and you should find it. The link you posted only has the front screen shield not the back.

Hope this helps :apple:

Yes please, could you post high quality pictures of them (specially the black one)?

Thank you kindly.

I think someone mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I couldn't find an answer:
Is the bumper made of the 'sticky' kind of rubber that's hard to get into/out of your pocket? Or is it smooth?
Also, does it collect dust easily? (also to do with the kind of rubber its made of, I guess)
Click to expand...

I bought a black bumper on launch day and I took it back cos the dust and dirt on the screen ended up stuck between the bumper and the phone. There's nowhere for dust to go - wiping it just wipes it into the bumper where it sticks. You need to lift it off the screen rather than wipe. Agree that they look great though.
 
Had a white one, but also working as a mechanic, the thing gets dirty way too easily but looks nice none the less. I have a black on now :eek:
 
Not as high quality as the OP, but here's my White on White iPhone.

Those wondering, yes I replaced the back plate with one purchased from these guys.

The front is still original black.
