covering up the edge with a bumper makes it look like the older ones imo. Dont think it was apples point to make them look exactly like the old ones. they are distinguishable.

That doesn't make any sense. The point of a bumper is to show off the back of the phone, no? And the back looks nothing like the 4S. What do the sides have to do with anything?
 
Buy a nice phone, then never get to appreciate the design because its wrapped in a thick rubber bumper....whats the point!?

Apple only produced the bumper for the 4S to solve the signal issue with the aerial, they don't need to on the 5 so there is no need for a bumper hence why they don't make one.

End.
 
Target best case bumper is an A grade "TPU bumper" found on amazon.

Buttons work just like the ip4 bumper but IMO can be thinner it it actually is. Nonetheless, the best case bumper from target is what I'm using now.
 
Anyone using this Bumper and an invisible shield type protector? my experience with the 4S was that the bumper peeled up the edges so I ended up removing the invisible shield. I'm curious if the same thing will happen with this articulate bumper.

Ok I just got my Cellairis bumper cases in the mail today. I gotta say the cellairis bumper cases are better quality build and the rubber that sticks out to keep the phone from laying flat is not as thick/bulky. I now have switched over to Cellairis as it looks like a natural fit for the iphone 5. I will use the BestCase Bumper as backup now.

How much does this bumper cost? I have an ebay bumper that looks identical to the Target Best bumper.

This is the exact same bumper without their logo. I got mine from ebay for a whole lot less. Perfect fit and quality.

Bought a white bumper with metal buttons off ebay and it didn't look good at all. It had pieces of rubber on the sides off the sides like it wasn't cut clean and the color of the rubber is not grey like the ones on Apple's 4/4s white bumpers or even the Target BestCase bumper.
 
I guys, can anyone help me find this BestCase bumper online? I tried looking on Targets website and it's not there.
 
I like this bumper! My only concern would be the white becoming discolored over time. My Poetic case is already getting dull and discolored.
 
I just bought one of these "best case" bumpers and it is of terrible quality. The buttons do not line up and the volume down doesnt even click. The power button is mushy as heck! Returning it tomorrow.
 
Any ideas for getting the BestCase (Target) iPhone 5 from Europe? I really like how this one is a good clone of the iPhone 4 one.

The materials are difficult to get right, I have seen some iPhone 5 bumpers over here that look and feel very bad.

Not worth it.
 
Not worth it.

I don't like the look of the Cellairis. And as I said the cheapo alternatives are really bad.

But yeah, I reckon it may be next to impossible getting the Target one from Europe unless I have a friend from the US shipping it to me.
