New bumpers from Sw-Box

Surely said:
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).

yea me either. ive owned a couple of free silicone cases for my nano and hate them because they attract so much lint from coming out of my pocket.

has anyone had to boil theirs yet? loose any?

My transparent/black one already fit tighter than my black bumper. No need to boil, it's snug.
 
would these cause bubbling if i have a front and back ps crystal film set on?

Mine started to raise my back protector in one corner, which my black official bumper never did. However it was really easy to flatten it back out, unlike some cases that just won't play nice with protectors. Really not a big deal at all.

I just ordered an additional blue/yellow one (go Bruins), a carbon fiber sticker set, as well as some 3GS cases for my brother. These prices are ridiculously cheap, and they gave me a $2 discount for ordering multiple items.

would this dock station work with a bumper on?

If it's anything like the Apple Universal Dock then I'm saying no. Technically you could use it with that dock but you couldn't use any of the inserts on the dock. From the looks of this one, I'm guessing it won't work with a bumper on since the 30 pin connector looks about the same size/height as on the Apple Universal Dock.
 
Just got mine yesterday. I got the shipment e-mail 20 days ago. I'm from the Montreal Canada.

I ordered the black/transparent one. Looks good, I love it more than the Apple bumper. However, the one I have is not perfectly snug. The top left of it is a little bit loose. I don't know if it is just mine. If yes, I'm gonna order another black/transparent one and maybe a couple more of other colors.
 
Well...

I ordered 2 bumpers:

1 transparent/black
1 plain black silicone


The plain silicone it's what it is. No flash, just a simple black silicone band. Good fit btw. No metal bottoms.

Now the transparent/black looks awesome, I installed it 15 minutes ago.

5 minutes ago, I take it out of my pocket and notice the power switch metal button is gone.

Haven't been able to find it.... :mad:

BTW, I ain't taking out the transparent/black bumper.

It looks great and has a tighter feel than the Apple Bumper.

The only problem I noticed (other than the fact that it now doesn't have a metal button) is that it was way too easy to press the power button. I mean, I even tried pushing down on the right and left side of the button and it still recognized it as a button click.

This has been now remedied unintentionally by the lack of the metal button.

Oh well...

That's interesting, I'll be sure to keep an eye on my power button! However, I've been pocketing mine for about a week with no issues. A couple people on campus with black bumpers asked me where I picked mine up.

Maybe I just got a faulty one.

I sent them a replacememt request, but I think I'll order a couple more. Even w/o the metal power button the bumper looks and feels great.
