Did apple redesign the bumper after the original release? The iPhone 4s mute switch is slightly lower than the original iPhone 4.

Does this seem to be a problem for many cases?
 
It is a problem for a lot of cases. The Verizon iP4 has the mute switch in the same place.
 
Yes they did do a slight modification to the bumper when the Verizon iPhone came out. The new model does fit the 4S, I'm using a white one now.
 
bumper scratches

Yeah I used the bumper on my iPhone 4 for a while and then noticed it had scratched the band because of dust and dirt that gets under it. After that I just went raw with a skin to protect the back when I set it down. Fits much better in my pocket without a case.
 
I have a bumper purchased a few weeks before the 4s came out and it fits fine.
