so whats the point of a bumper?

Pads the pressure points by taking the shock from a fall. No question in my mind that it will prevent broken screens and backs. Not in all cases, but it will help.
What would you rather have hit concrete, the corner of your phone which is taught against a piece of glass, or the corner of a padded rubber bumper?
Plus it keeps the front and back raised, which will help, but not prevent, hitting those surfaces on flat ground.
Plus it feels great in the hand.
(and pads the sensitive lower left seam from bridging the antennas together causing interference)

ummm convincing
does powersupport make films for the iphone 4?
The edges go slightly over the front and back of the screen, so that if you were to set it down on a perfect flat surface, the glass of the iPhone wouldn't actually be touching anything.
There's only two possible positions the iPhone could land on in a possible drop, where this would happen (straight on the front or straight on its back) so the chances that it would fall like this are very slim. It would also have to land on a perfectly flat surface for this design to be effective. Dropping it on jagged ground could still poke the screen passed the raised edges.

I hear it attracts magical unicorns?
But really, it protects the phone. I have one. I like it. It's overpriced, but works well.

Funny...and sadly very true.
They have versions for the iPhone 4 on their website but not yet available--can pre-order if so inclined.
I don't have a bumper or a case yet, and when I put the phone down on it's back, I put it on a cloth or something soft.
I think that if it were on a hard surface, and the phone rang and vibrated, it would scratch the glass - so the bumper would protect against this as well.

You would have known that it was just a little piece of rubber by looking at some pics
Its not like they didn't release any pics of them until they were shipping out or something.
