ive heard the apple bumpers scratch the metal band around the phone. have any of you who own these SW bumpers experienced this?
 
With regards to the comparison pics (to the Neo EX), it's looks like the bottom cut out is less accepting of non-Apple connectors, just like the bumper. What a shame as this looks like a nice bumper replacement.

i have a belkin wall charger & it works with this
 
If you are worried about the metal band getting scratched, Zagg makes a shield for the outer ring, $10 or you can try scotch tape which works like a champ and is inexpensive and easy to replace.

I am looking forward to receiving my sw-box bumpers almost as much as I look forward to seeing a particular hockey team anchor the last place spot in the NE division

Used an apple bumper for many months and no scratches. I keep my phone clean and don't have dirt in my pockets that can get between bumper and phone.

It isn't the bumper that scratches the steel...it's any dirt in between bumper and phone, as is with any case.
 
My transparent bumpers came in the mail today, and they're fantastic. I'll post some pictures when my girlfriend comes home with her iPhone.
 
Just order some because some of the posts make the company seem legit. I hope so... :(
 
Haven't read through the entire thread but I'm wondering if anyone has ordered any other cases besides the bumpers from these guys. They have a ton of cases that look like knockoffs of some very popular cases but I have no idea if they're any good.
 
Some photos of the Blue/White and Transparent/Black

Nice photos, are you satisfied with them?

I'm very satisfied with the transparent/black one. That'll be the one I'm going to use for a while. They're both almost identical to the official apple black bumper that I have, but as others mentioned the volume buttons protrude just slightly more and the silent switch is easier to get to. They fit a little tight and almost peeled my screen protectors, but I was able to flatten it all out with a fingernail. I'm sure they'll loosen with time as I remove them to swap sim cards with my cycling phone, so it's good that they fit real snug initially.

I'm still stunned that these were only $4. If I hadn't been refunded the $30 for my black bumper, I'd be pretty frustrated right now!!

Man, I wish I would just get mine already. I ordered before some of you and I still haven't gotten anything yet :mad:
 
Ordered mine like last week but just found out today that paypal refused the direct debit payment. :(
Have to order it again.. :(
 
Looks real nice for 4 bucks.

Lets see how many people complain beyond all reason for something they purchased for 4 bucks.

Looking forward to the 4 I ordered.:)
 
Just placed an order for the Black/Transparent. 10 bucks including shipping - not bad. My only issue would be if it doesn't fit with my Car integration kit plug. We shall see.
 
Can you compare the size of the dock connector opening to the genuine apple bumper? Is it bigger? I just ordered two of these and hope they will work with my Monster car charger which has a rather large connector.
