what is best brand of bumper to get for the 4s?

[Joel Howard]

Ya know, I myself have always thought getting the official is the best, but I hear ALOT about the Apple Bumpers scratching the Antenna. Who hear has had an Apple Bumper? how did it work for you?

I like the official bumper...it's thin and sleek. It does scuff the heck out of the antenna though. I have scuffs all over the band. It also, over time, has had the rubber start to come up a bit at the edges.

I now use a Cygnett Aerogrip Edge bumper, which fits better, doesn't slide around, so it shouldn't scuff the band, and is a bit more solid and substantial. It's a little thicker, but looks great, IMO.

I had the original bumper and thought it was total junk. Sure it looks nice but that's it. It always shifted off a bit if I pulled my phone out of tight-ish jean pockets and after about 3 months the rubber part started separating from the plastic. Not worth $30 IMO

I've said it in 100 other threads and I'll say it here. Graft Concepts!!!

Do some more research on the vapor 4. I think that case had some signal issues.

it's such a non issue lol. Totally overblown by the media and not even worth worrying about. The vast majority of iPhone users use a case anyway.

The vapor is the best looking bumper on the market, but yes ithas had signal issues. Like he said, do the research

I love this one, it's called the 'i+Case'. - It works on All iPhone 4's and 4S's, but it's on Kickstarter, will an expected Delivery Date of December.

It also comes in Red and Black!

Wow! Thanks for that. In general I don't have the patience for Kickstarter. I think I'll be investing in this next week.

I got this for mine, though: http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...erizon-iphone-4-case-neo-hybrid-a-series.html

Quite a bit cheaper than the Graft and as thin as a bumper with extra protection.

 

[himynameiscody]

that metal thing is bulky, and too much money lol

I tried a bumper on mine, and I just don't get it. It protects just a little bit while messing with the phone's looks a lot. I'm going naked...

 

[zorinlynx]

inCase Slider or similar. Makes the phone a lot more grippable and protects it from most drops.

I love my aero grip edge by Cygnett. It's a good bumper...fits better then the Apple bumper, and it protects a little better as well. The dark gray one also looks very sharp on my white iPhone 4S.

idk i just liked it because it was so little, yet if i dropped it on the corner it might protect it from cracking

I have the blue one I want the orange one.

 

[himynameiscody]

u have the apple branded one?

 

[climber20]

My favorite cases are Agent 18. I use the clear shield, but I believe they make bumpers too. Low profile and solid as a tank.

This is exactly the phone I've been wanting since the iPhone 4 was announced last year. And I am soso happy to now have it. It looks and works just how I wanted it to.

I thought the SGP Neo Hybrid EX was going to be great, but I've noticed that the hard plastic part is slipping forward. I'm afraid one day I won't notice that it's dislodged and I'll drop my phone. So I'm back on the hunt because I love having the back of the phone exposed. So pretty.

 

[Taylor-C]

I like this one, but it's $65 and is on kickstarter...

[himynameiscody]

thanks for all the answers....i'll decide shortly

 

[chemistry76]

I wouldn't get an Apple Bumper. I went through two on my iPhone 4 and they really mess up the antenna cosmetically. The rubber also starts to get frayed after a few months.

I'm trying a SwytchEasy case on my 4S now. I had one on my 3GS and it was great.

It doesn't feel rubbery does it

You get what you pay for.

Graft Concepts.

Really like the look of the Graft Leverage, do you know if these are available in stores, or only through their web site? Amazon does not seem to have them. I have Apple store as well as Verizon and AT&T stores nearby. These are pricey but look great.

I now use a Cygnett Aerogrip Edge bumper, which fits better, doesn't slide around, so it shouldn't scuff the band, and is a bit more solid and substantial. It's a little thicker, but looks great, IMO.

I just ordered the Aerogrip Edge. What is it like? Are all the buttons easy to press and what is the TPU material like? Does it fit good even on the 4S?
