I'm all about the bumper. Doesn't hide the phone (I cover with c/f back any way) and offers a great amount of protection for me. I don't drop my phone very often (learned my lesson with a destroyed 3gs.... well multiple destroyed 3gs's lol) and it has survived the few drops I have had. Simple, elegant, go bumper stylee!
Got a tip for us?

I wanted to buy a bumper similar to what Apple offered, although one that doesn't scratch the metal antenna. Any ideas?
The Neo Hybrid Ex looked nice but reviews say that the materials do not hold up over time.

I was thinking about buying the same case. Does it offer good protection from falls?...is it a tough case?.

Anyone else annoyed with the typo in the title? It's bothering me to no end.
Again, though, I'm going for front and back screen protector and bumper.

I had the same, recommendation from a friend that worked out amazing. I didn't buy one yet but this was my first thought. For now, I bought a back skin from etsy.com and I'll probably pick up the best skins ever body protection since that's also a product i've used a lot. I'm caseless with my Droid X now, dropped once and it did scrape the corner while it was in a case. I figure a phone is a phone but I'd like to at least try to keep it clean.
My eyes is also on that Neo Hybrid X; they're out of stock it seems with the exception of pink and I just don't do pink. Hoping its worth the price tag though, looks like it's fairly flimsy.
Yes it will.
I just ordered the Marware SportShell Convertible Case for iPhone 4/4S (Black) (Fits AT&T iPhone) case. I have one for my 3GS and it's been a great case. I use it to clip the phone to my belt and has the armband for use in the gym.

Nothing! I'm going on a whim. I love the fitted case but wanted a candyshell for protection. This one is supposed to be a semi mixture of the two so I figured I would give it a shot. The other big thing was this case is only slightly larger than my 3gs naked (.1") so it should fit into my armband without taking the case off.
I believe they do. I've also seen them at Target, FWIW. Can't remember offhand of any other places other than those 2 and Apple Stores.
I ordered a Otterbox Deffender for an iphone 4 on eBay. The lady at Otterbox company said that the case will not fit because the proximity sensor has slightly moved on the 4S. I am calling her bluff and I'll post on here as soon as I get my case and phone. Hopefully she's wrong 
I'm not really worried about the camera flash as much as the sensors lining up on the front. Remember Otterbox saying it won't work n the white iPhone 4? That's this issue I'm wondering

Did the proximity sensor not work on the white i4 with the defender case?

I had ordered a case for the 4 off of amazon. Looks like I'll be sending it back. I went back and ordered one direct from Otterbox. I liked the blue/black they had for the 4 but they don't have that color combo for the 4s.
Here are some images that show the differences between the cases. The first two are for the 4s the last two are for the 4.
Before i planned on getting a 4s i picked up a pixelskin hd so i will be using that, i also have an at&t candyshell which i will see if it fits but i will be giving that one to my dad if it works.....might pick up the candyshell redesign for my own phone
dont know if the mute switch will be misaligned in my pixelskin, and if it is dont know if it will bother me or not

I have this case, it is nice. I wish it had some kind of bumper for the front, but if those phone drops screen down, I don't think the case will offer any protection to the screen.
