Anyone had luck finding bumpers at a B&M store? I have called a few apple stores and they are out with no guess on when they will have more and the AT&T stores I have tried don't know what I am talking about.

No luck here. I did the same by calling the Apple stores here in Southern Cali and was told they don't know when new shipments are coming in.

I can't believe people are shelling out in excess of $29.00 for what is essentially a rubber band.

Well I have a black bumper I am planning to send back to Apple. If someone would like to buy it from me and pay the shipping, I'll be glad to sell it, send me a PM. I put it on my phone one time, but had already purchased a case and I actually like the full case better. The bumper looks nice!

Which case did you get?

I got a RocketFish Gray Smoke Case from Best Buy! Best Buy in my area was having a grand opening and they had huge rack of them for $12.99. I like it because it protects the back sides, top and bottom, along with having a wavy design on the back that shows the iPhone and Apple Logo's. Looks cool!

Here is what is looks like. Reviews are good and I am happy with it.

I think that we decided to go the full case route, too. My husband had posted because he got his pre-ordered iPhone and wanted the bumpers+screen protector. He doesn't like the protector though. I got a 16GB one while we wait on the white ones this morning with the ATT release and bought a speck case at the store. He thinks he'll "go naked" or get a case.

I wish I were confident enough to go caseless as they are BEAUTIFUL!

Actually, while it is a bit expensive @ $29, it's much more than a "rubber band". The bumper is a well formed piece with actual metal buttons to replicate the iPhone's actual buttons.
