What is the "Bumper"?!?!

[ijen0311]

The white is not appealing to me. Tell us about the case!

The white is awesome. What are you talking about.

Black is whack.

I love the white 3G/S. I'm not sold on that white front. Now I'll have to see it in person. Boo!

I think it's 'bumper.'

Ah okay. The feed I'm looking at didn't show those pics. Thanks!

All I wanted was a nice soft pink iPhone, and all they gave us for colors are those band things. And Hot pink no less.

I'm putting my flame-suit on to say it looks Palm-ish

 

[saccento]

i really don't like it because it doesn't seem to protect the back and the front if you drop it

 

[peapody]

This looks horrible.

Looks like interchangeable face plates on cheap china made mp3 players to make you think that you are getting something special.

The phone looks great on its own..

As always I'll pick the black one.

But it doesn't cover the back. It looks like an iFrogz minus back protection.

 

[afireintonto]

These look lame. I'll wait for an incase slider

 

[ijen0311]

I wonder what it's made out of, and if it improves grip or something. Will the white and black match the white and black? And why did he call it a dock?

I think it does by providing a soft rim on the front and back of the phone.

 

[androiphone]

you and all your fat ugly cases that add way to much bulk to the phone

 

[yelnref]

these bumpers seem to suggest you can scratch the sides... but not the front or back.

time will tell...

+1 The screen pops with the black front, the all white will wash the screen/colors out.

I personally think the bumpers were just an after thought for all of us that wanted other iPhone color choices other than black and white. They are not seriously charging $29 for those are they?

 

[djransom]

The Bumper is the same exact thing as the Griffin Reveal now for the iPhone 3GS. I love that case and I definitely will pick up the Bumper as well

That's a good deduction. You may be correct.

 

[elephunkman]

will be waiting for an incase slider.

As always I'll pick the black one.

Ditto!

 

[ijen0311]

Wait... does it cover the back? Can we tell?

Well, think of it this way - they form a lip on the front and the back. If you drop the phone on its side, the bumper is there. If you drop it flat on the front or the back, the lip still absorbs the impact.
