New bumpers from Sw-Box

I just got a newer black/clear bumper and i think it looks nice. The newer one vs. the first one i had doesnt have the line down the side, so it is just a nice clear smooth view of the sides.
 
I've been using the clear/black bumpers from SW-Box for over 9 months. Today I received the new clear/black bumper that doesn't the have ridge or bar that was molded into the clear plastic of the original version. Very nice. The buttons are as bad as ever - hardly attached at all. A pin easily pops them loose. To prevent losing them I did as I've done before, which is to remove the buttons with a pin and reattach each with a tiny drop of SuperGlue. All in all a minor issue with an otherwise good product at a great price.

for dock use or plug charging?

I believe its the same as it was before, currently i'm using a solid black Verizon version bumper and i really like it. Some claim the newer ones have metal buttons but i'm not sure, they could be but its difficult to tell.
 
My red/black and white/black bumpers are still going strong.

The screen protectors that I ordered are also awesome. I used the same one for the entire time with no sign of wear, but have to put a new one on now because I swapped my iP4 for a new one (it had a couple of issues).

I may look into the new clear one, thanks for the heads up about the redesign, Sh00tingStar.:cool:
 
Anybody know if they have resolved the buttons falling off issue? I just ordered 3 of these. Hoping the buttons will stay intact, but if not I'll have 2 backups lol. The shipping costs as much as 3 bumpers, jeez
 
I dont think so. I have two of them and neither have power buttons, lost both of the "-" buttons too so I had to salvage button from one so I can can have 1 bumper that works, it has two "+" buttons lol. Its pretty horrible. Had I known I would have popped them off and gorilla glued them from the start, otherwise good value

if you can wait 2 weeks just order from a china seller off ebay. I ordered 2 with shipping for $8, I have also ordered from a US seller and paid $8 for 1 but it came faster.
 
Has anyone having issues with buttons falling off tried to put the apple bumper buttons in their place? Cuz I have my white apple bumper still but it's yellow and stretched out and I don't use it. I'm wondering if it would work?
 
Just got the black/white one and the black/red one. Sadly, the black/red one has an issue with the top button port. It keeps the button depressed at all times. I'll fiddle with it, but worst case I'm out $2.50.

i had the same problem with my black/red one lol, even tho it did come broken (it had a cut in the charging port.) but ya the fix for that is, take the bumper offand look under it and look for the black thing with the button on it, make sure its pushed allll the way up and not flush with the bumper it self. that fixes that problem. also if the button falls out just use a dab of super glue!

see, how its pushed in? make sure it has the lip.
 
iphone 4s CDMA vs GSM

Anyone know why these cases would claim not to work for the att iphone 4s but only for the Verizon?

I thought the only difference between the 2 is the sim slot

their website says: Compatible with Verizon CDMA 4s
*Warning, not compatible with att iphone 4*

Obvioulsy it won't work with the 4 because the silent switch was higher up. Seems strange they would take the time to write this. And confusing
