Knockoff bumper cases?

That i can think of off the top of my head, Marware, iLuv, and Scosche all have some kind of band-only case

 

Still waiting for the $0.99 Chinese knockoff bumpers on eBay...

 

Me too. I figured that'd be the first thing they'd copy...what's the hold up, China!

 

Calling the bumper a glorified rubber band is like calling a bike a glorified metal/carbon fiber tube. There are people who think the bumper is great for $30, but I personally can't attest since I haven't got an iPhone 4 yet, but it looks very nice in pictures.

 

Watch out with the knock-offs. You might find yourself with a bummer instead of a bumper.

 

I am no longer sold on the bumper after seeing how it doesn't protect the i4 when dropped and its way overpriced as it costs $$0.80 per unit to make. isn't that what someone here found out? i bought a black one and returned it the next day. i see all the colors are out now and am tempted to just buy the orange and just have it on hand but $30...

 

Do you live in a big city? I live in NYC and all the street vendors probably have them already.

 

Did you return it even though you opened the package. I was wondering if they would accept returns for it because the package is going to be ripped up and destroyed.

 

True, but paying $30 for a bumper is a bummer.

 

why pay if bumpers are now FREE from apple (until September).

 

Check out Dunxx's post. He got a cheapo knock off bumper (w/pics).
