Imma guess somewhere around .40-.75? But take one and slap an Apple logo on it andyou have a $30 bumper.
There aren't any Apple logos on the official Apple Bumpers.

Tire manufacturing has been doing this for years ... Same plant that makes GoodYear also produces cheaper Tires for various companies.
This type of cross manufacturing happens in many industries.
same product just different names.

Most of the packaging coming out right now with these don't have the Apple logo on them or 'iphone' and just say '4G Bumpers'. Apple doesn't like their logo on things leaving customs
Thanks for the pics, obyte! Those look great. I really like that transparent-smoke one! Are these going to be available on your site in the near future?

At some point shortly. I am streamlining a lot of stuff right now. Too many quality issues with a lot of generic cases lately. Trying to go through the ones that are spoken for later today and figuring out what is left of these colors. I'll send you a PM once it's all finished.
Here are some updated pictures of most of the colors:
There are still some colors missing that didn't arrive but that is pretty much the whole spectrum (missing some solid colors)
Nice, but don't see half of them listed on sw-box ? i.e. the single color bumpers.
I ordered 3 black/red magenta/black and another can't remember, I just paid without logging on by paypal no tracking, all I've got is a paypal receipt nothing else. I sent them an email asking if they had received my order I have not had a reply yet. I was wondering if anyone else ordered via PayPal - no tracking ?
Thanks

Mine said 4G bumper, but the back of the case said designed by Apple etc just like the official packaging. Very funny
If you didn't select tracking, it's more than likely coming from EMS. That takes 5-15 nice long business days. They like to make sure it takes that long too :/
UPS Saver from China is almost always worth it. Getting stuff in 2-3 days with proper tracking is worth the extra money IMO.
I ordered 2 without tracking, and it took about a week and a half for it to arrive at my doorstep in Tucson, AZ. Plus there was a holiday last week so I imagine that could have delayed my shipment too. I received shipment confirmation 4 days after I placed my order, and the package arrived 5 days later.

You all still ordering from SW Box right? I don't remember seeing all those colors to choose from thats why I'm asking..
Most of the ones in here are from sw-box, the other colors I posted are not.
so the silicone of this case is it better than the rubber of the apple bumper? I have the blue and black apple bumpers and of course the black has more grip than the blue. how's the grip on these? is it easy to remove from pocket and does it attract lint like other silicone cases?
I think it is. It's grippy but a little on the slippery side IMO. Don't think you should have any issues with grip as far as these go. They're a nice balance between smooth finish and grip. Easy to remove from pocket and attracts a little lint/dust but not as much as my Apple bumper does.
The only difference that I've found between the black Apple bumper and the red/black Sw-Box bumper is the color: the Sw-Box bumper's silicone/rubber is a little blacker.
As far as grippiness and lint-attraction, I've noticed no difference between the two (I never had an issue with the Apple bumper's lint-attraction properties).
