I finally received a reply to my email to MO. I sent it the Monday before thanksgiving. I wanted to know if their Fusion bumper protected the camera lens. They sent a really nice response, saying that they apologize for the delay. In the reply they told us what we already found out. They say the bumper protrudes out the exact same distance as the camera bump.
“I reached out to the designer and he told me that camera on the iPhone X basically purtrudes out up to the same point that the Impact Bumper purtrudes out. So when the phone is resting on a desk for example, both the camera and the bumper are touching the desk. Because of this the bumper eliminates the annoying wobble that happens when the phone isn’t protected by the bumper.”
For me, I just don’t know if I’m comfortable with this. I want minimal protection, but the camera lens is my main concern.
On another topic, I have had the K11 bumper from before I got my iPhone X. I never tried it on until 2 days ago. I just didn’t like the look of it in the packaging. I know others have said they don’t like the look, but on my SG X I think it looks really good. I agree that the buttons are really stiff and it is not the most comfortable to hold in my hand, but I like it. I have purchased a lot of cases this year again, even though I made it my goal to not buy a lot. So far, from all of them (Apple leather case, Apple folio, Fusion bumper, Clear edge case, K11, & RS Mod case) I am liking the look of the K11. The rubber parts are a nice matte black and the stainless steel is a nice dark gray. For now that’s what I am using. I plan to email Thanotech to see if they have made any changes to the buttons, since I pre ordered right away and I’m sure I got the first production run. The K11 seems narrower than all of the other cases. The Fusion I guess is thinner, in depth. I for sure don’t like the shiny plastic of the black Fusion bumper, but the pictures of the clear one look really nice.
