I'm just wondering why anyone would spend thirty bucks on that tiny piece of plastic that is nothing more than an aesthetic. Especially given how nice the steel band looks.

I'd actually say it's a perfect merger of aesthetic and function. With the bumper case on, there's no way you can possibly drop the iPhone on a flat surface without hitting only the bumper.

That being said, it remains to be seen if I'll actually drop $30 for one, as I know I'll be purchasing a dock for sure, and I don't think the two accessories are compatible.

I usually go naked anyways ;)
 
The renderings looks great. Though, I'm not a fan of pastels. I'll wait until some bolder colors come along. Although, the white looks nice.

I believe they made the dock so it will be compatible with the bumpers
 
I'm gonna get an orange one if it's available when I'm picking up my phone...Halloween Edition! :)

I would be surprised if the bumper fit in there.
 
If I'm not mistaken the new iPhone dock will be similar to the iPad dock so it will in fact fit with no problem since it doesn't have any "sides".
 
I think the steel band looks professional and I'll keep it on, but eventually someone will come up with a bumper knock-off for half the price and I'll snag one of those.

But these are nice renderings and blue/green look great.
 
Apple has never made a case for the iPhone until now.

This isn't a case, and they're not even selling it as one. They're calling it a color accessory. Personally I'm going to wait to see how it feels naked and if it needs a case, I'll buy a real one. I'm definitely not dropping 30 bucks on one of these ripoffs.
 
Man! these things look like they belong on these phones permenantly ( from the factory). i love how they protect the screen from the front a little.

I hope it's a hard plastic/rubber that will slip into a pocket easily.

I had another brand and the material was like a sticky rubber that wouldn't "slide" into a pocket. These look SWEET!


DAMN. That stinkin' white is growing on me!
 
will there be any bumps available on the 24th? The guy at BB said he heard they will get a large shipment of them for the 24th but expects sell out. Told me to go to a less busy BB and I'll probably have a chance at them first thing in the morning.

Liking Orange and Lime Green. heheheheh. Or naked with the Zagg.
