iPhone 4 bumper -- what to get?

While I've decided to wait on getting a new iPhone till the next update (or till my current phone becomes unusable), I've run into an issue with my bumper falling apart. Seems like it's a well known problem and mine has actually lasted much longer at 2-1/2 years than average. However, reading reviews of the bumper on apple.com, it looks like the newer bumpers are made different, fit very tight and cause the sleep/wake button to keep getting engaged. Basically looks like a design issue since people who have gotten it replaced say it's the same with the new one.

Anyone run into this issue? If so what did you get? I really like the design of the bumper and other than the few scratches it caused around the sides, it has done its job pretty well. Just need something to get me over the next 6 months of so till the next iPhone. And hopefully, my home button won't stop working again!

 

I wouldn't mind paying the premium if it actually worked as well as what I have but the reviews (and there are several among the recent one) all say that the newer bumpers even though they are supposed to be the same as the older ones are too tight and simply do not work.

I think I'm convinced to just hold on to my broken one and hope it doesn't fall apart completely in the next 4-5 months...but since there is no release date yet for the next phone, who knows, it might actually be longer.

 

It's OK if you prefer it naked as long as you don't drop it. The glass ih the 4/4S is much more susceptible to cracking on impact because of the design. The 5 is better in that respect.

FWIW, I went to the local Apple store yesterday to get a new bumper, but when I tried in the store, it was too tight and was causing the power button to get pressed (just as all the recent reviews on the Apple site say). So I returned it right there. Still with my old bumper but it feels like it's falling apart rapidly.

 

And the old bumper is now gone. It fell apart completely, so for now the phone is naked.

After a couple of intense sessions of Googling, I think I'm going to settle for this:

Anyone use this? It's a full case rather than a bumper, but I can't seem to find another bumper that is reasonably priced and which also works well.

I really liked the way some of the aluminum ones looked, but it sounds they all of them will adversely affect reception, some more than others, so probably best to stay away from those.

Others that I considered were:

(looks a little bulky)

(quite a bit more expensive, especially with shipping from the UK, and some of the reviews said the volume buttons become harder to press.)

This was the coolest aluminum one I came across, but it's super pricey and yet adversely effects reception.

Of course I came across tons of others, but didn't care to seriously consider any of them.
