Yeah this bumper is more slippery than the Apple one. I was using the phone naked since launch day even though I bought an incipio feather so the grip is still better than nothing. I got an Apple bumper 2 weeks ago because I was sick of losing signal. Even with boiling and using side skins it didn't fit as tight as this one. I think the plastic part of the bumper limits how much it can stretch so it has to be slightly bigger than the steel band. I also think the Apple bumper could be significantly thinner. The lip on this bumper that raises the glass of a flat surface is also a bit higher than the Apple bumper. Basically if you could fuse the attributes of both bumpers together I'd be set. I haven't been happy with any cases because of the square shape of the iPhone 4. Bumpers are the way to go for me.

yea, the only 2 things i dont like about tipbs bumpers are the hard to press sleep button and the clearish color to it. if it was a solid color it would be alot harder to stick with the apple bumper. my apple bumper doesnt slide around that much though, guess i got lucky lol..only problem i have with the apple bumper is i cant use my iphone 4 dock i bought like 2wks before they offered the free bumpers. wasnt gonna spend $29 on apples bumper...im satisfied with apples bumper and i still dont think i would pay $29 for one...although maybe if they made a yellow one lol. honestly i dont even like cases i only have the bumper on because it was free and it stops the glass on the back of the ip4 from touching the surface. the little noises the dust and dirt inbetween the glass and surface scares me lol
