i had my bumper from apple ever since they gave it to me for free. What a piece of junk. its falling apart on me. I have had an iphone ever since the first and never had a case that went to **** so fast. It seems like when apple was giving them away they cut down the quality of the bumpers. I feel apple should honor their piece of junk bumper and give us new ones
Got a tip for us?

I can't imagine a bumper "falling apart", can you post a pic?
About the only scenario I can see is if you are carrying it around in a toolbox
In that case, you probably need one of those butt ugly Otter Boxes instead

My Parents have both got Bumpers for their iPhone 4's and they haven't had any problems and they use them every day.
Post some pics please of yours.

I bought one from eBay and it seems to be holding up very well.

Have one from apple store from the case program too, that's been doing well too.
I'd say purchase it from ebay if you need a new one, don't go spending $30+ on a piece of silicone tpu band.
That seller above (iLidz_store) is based in the states, and stocked in the states (unlike most of the other sellers). Ships out same day if within business hours. The bumpers are the real deal too!

Don't agree. I have a white one. A little dirty? Perhaps. But I have found it to be fairly rugged.
Everyone is saying there bumper has been great so unless you post some pictures I'm not really believing you.
Bought this one on ebay from iLidz_Store for $15.99. Most reliable company for bumpers on ebay, been holding up great!
Hope this helps you. Sorry to hear your bumper has been acting differently, maybe a defect?

Mine's falling apart ... but that's only because my 2 year old son got a hold of it a few times and smashed it together.

LOL aww that's too bad
They give you something for free, and you want a free replacement?
Just go ahead and get rid of the iphone. It is obviously too expensive to own!
look like very good qualityPrevious post didn't attach all the pics...here are the rest:
