It's starting to grow on me too... But idk, I've always been a naked iPhone kind of guy. Planning on staying that way for now at least.
Got a tip for us?

Thats how I ALWAYS was, but with this, I don't think twice about throwing it down on the table, and I can get a better grip of it.
I've never wanted to come home and throw my phone on the counter. I didn't pay $200 to abuse the thing. Although I'm slightly tempted to get an InvisibleSHIELD... we'll see
I bought mine early around 10 am at the apple store. went back later because a friend wanted one and they sold out. went to two best buys, one best buy mobile, and an AT&T store and they didn't have them, or the docks.
Yes, bumper is nicer than the photos make it look. Soft rubber grip, glossy plastic band around the side and silver buttons to operate the covered volume and power button without having to push hard.
has a cut-out around the mute switch so no more accidental switching when putting it in my pocket.

No, but that wasn't my point.
You can't even call the Bumper a case, it's really only there to protect the metal frame.
Bumper & hip holster
Will my phone still fit in my hip holster with the bumper? I like it. The 4 fits into my holster that was made for my original iphone, but there isn't much tolerance. Because the 4 thickness is thinner that shouldn't be a problem but how about the length.

After you get them on right they feel like they are part of the phone. It also gives a slightly more tapered feel. It makes it more comfortable in the hand. Along with the reception fix they are definitely worth $29.
after putting one on the phone and taking it off, it looks like the phone was built with the bumper in mind.
the phone looks weird without it.

I don't hurl the thing at the desk! I just sit it down less cautiously than I would without any case at all.
How well does the bumper case hold the phone? Tightly?
If I am jogging and holding the phone, could the phone come out of the bumper easily? (this is the most important question to me, right now)

There is NO possible way it will come out of the case

the bumper grips to the phone really well. it wraps around the edges slightly.
also want some lint tests done, someone take the damn thing and rub it on a dry lint tray! Please?
or jean pocket.
If there was a silver one like the macbook pro color scheme id love the thing and buy it now. but the black is tempting me... also want some lint tests done, someone take the damn thing and rub it on a dry lint tray! Please?
Just tried in my jeans pocket, and no lint collected on the case itself. Some on the phone, however, but that has nothing to do with the case.
