Got the black bumper because it's the most overpriced on but it was free! I'll pick up a pixelskin hd down the road maybe
Got a tip for us?

I do believe you, but that sounds too good to be true. Do you know where you got this information? Is it on their Website?
since i already have the bumper (and love it) I am going to just get the pixelskin HD case to have one for when I am traveling and need the extra protection.
Link to review of all cases available
Here's a link to a small review to each one if your still unsure on which one you are going to get. Was going to start a new thread but may as well keep it here with the poll.

That is true. My rubber case for my iPod touch was the same way.
But since the bumper provides the least amount of covering up, it is easier to wipe off dust. Just wipe off the sides and the glass with the oleophobic coating, and you are good to go.
Hard shell cases is known trapping dust or lint inside very easily. Imagine a hard material brushing against another material like it? I hated shell cases too because some were hard to take out if I wanted to clean the inside. Also, those hard shell cases scratch up which takes away the beauty of the glass.
Yeah i'm thinking of the speck HD, though i like my Sena case that i had on my 3G so if it fitted in my old sena case with the bumper still on then that would be my choice but as there isn't any available in shops to check this theroy then maybe i should get the speck HD and get a white bumper at a later date.
My friend has gone for the black bumper so can try his when his arrives and pretty sure black bumpers will be around £10-£15 when people start selling there free ones on eBay as they already have a case. hmmmm!!

Speck Fitted for me. With any luck, I'll get it before my trip to Florida at the beginning of September 
It's probably the cheapest color to produce not to mention their is less hassle in dealing with orders for one color.
They probably also did this so that if people choose a black bumper and like it they will go out and buy a coloured one.
They are only giving us option of other case as they can't meet the demand. Choosing the apple bumper is the cheapest option for Apple as they only cost around 50p a unit whereas they will have had to strike a deal with the other companies and i reckon Apple will probably pay those around £4-7 (guesstamate) per unit.
If Apple would have had enough black bumpers that is all we would have got. Just my view anyhow....pixel it is then and if i don't like it will get the sena for iphone 4 http://www.senacases.com/apple/iphone-4-cases/ultraslim/ as my 3G one looked really nice and also everytime you put the phone in the case and take it out the felt cleans the phone again.
For looks, I say get a bumper.Bit of an anti-climax as i so had my heart set on the white iPhone 4 bumper and i'm guessing staff will have been noted not to do any trade ins on the colours. I bet they are even packeaged different to stop us doing this.
I'm torn between getting the black bumper just to see what i think to them as i have already ordered my plastic screen protectors from front and back and also wondered if with the bumper on it would still slide into my Leather Sena pouch i had for my 3G, the extra thickness may makeup for the gap!?
Or the Pixel HD as i think the iPhone is rather slippy and the grip sounds good but then takes away the whole look of the iPhone.
Hmmmm after pondering colour choice and now only having black this is a real pondering moment for me......over to you gus n gals with your ideas
For better protection, get the PixelSkin HD.
If I wanted to create 'space", it is better to go for something thinner like the bumper over something fatter if you were to put in a pouch. Leave some room for error with the dimensions. But if your heart was truly set on a WHITE bumper, just purchase it anyway and get the PixelSkin HD.
Looks like it will be a while. I ordered the Pixelskin HD, this was my confim from Apple. Fortunately I already have a Case-Mate Vroom (Love it, only $14)
I can live with the wait, but I feel for others who dont.
