Is apple's site listing the bumper anywhere? I can't seem to find any official photos besides the ones from the keynote. I want to use the bumpers to help pick out a color for my iphone plus bumper.


Thanks!

This is the only image of the bumper on the Apple website that I have seen.
 
My guess is that they will be listed on the site as a purchase option when preordering starts, that way they will be delivered with the phone on release day.

Is the bumper only around the metal portion that goes around the phone or does it cover the back as well?
 
It looks like hard plastic with silicone at the edges.

Good eye. I just wouldn't want the case to stick to my jean pockets like old silicon cases used to do.

If its as you described, do you think the case will be easy to be installed/removed? I would like a more permanent solution with the back still exposed.
 
Here's what I think the black iphones would look like with bumpers.

Im so gonna get the black iphone 4 with the white bumper.:D
 
Black bumper + Black iPhone = Darth Vader iPhone

Black Bumper + White iPhone = Stormtrooper iPhone
:D

Anyways, I remember seeing images of the black bumper on the day of WWDC. I was too busy drooling over the phone. :p

This thread would probably be of interest to you. User Sparrky photoshopped each phone with each color of bumper so you can see what your favorite combination would look like. Here are the white ones, black examples are in the link.
