who agrees that bumpers are falling apart

i dont take it out of the case much. It just started to stretch on me. I finally put a order in for the Trim case by switch easy. I have done my research it seems like a pretty good case. I was leaning towards the alumacase and was reading that it does affect the the signal a little but it affect the gps the most from my research. I have been do hardcore research and watching to many video on different cases for me the Trim case seems good.

I agree. Based on that picture, the is more to the story than is being told.
That doesn't look like normal wear and tear.

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?

I found knockoff bumpers for even cheaper here:

I got an orange and pink one for the folks and the quality is amazing given the price. It's 95% accurate to a real one from Apple, couldn't be happier.
 
I bought a knockoff one and it absolutely fell apart in a month. Looked just like the OPs. Did you get it from Apple or is it a knockoff?
 
I got a free one as well and it's holding up fine, especially since I tend to pick at it constantly.
 
I've seen this happen to the people who boil their bumpers. You didn't happen to do that right?
 
Mine isnt falling apart, but more of a stretching thing. I boiled it twice already and after a few weeks it just goes back to its saggy ways. It gets really annoying cause the dust and crap gets inside and gets in between the bumper and bad things happen then! Im thinking about getting some other thin bumper style case, but dont want to spend the extra money when i could just spend time and boil another bumper. HAHA!
 
I got a bumper from the free case program too and mine is in perfect condition. You're either being too rough with your's or you just got a defective one.

Yeah I might be LOL! but my cousin had one, and I used hers for a little, and it was the same. It sagged at the top! Then I got mine from the case program and it was the same exact thing. saggy at the top out of the box! Maybe I just have really bad luck with getting defective bumpers :/

Mine is the same, but I never really cared. I've moved on to the Case-Mate Hula Now, couldn't be happier
