to bump or not to bump?

[Ipheuria]

that is the question? whether tis nobler... Ahem sorry lol Anyway I noticed alot of people talking about getting the bumper. I have grown to love the new look of the center metal especially with the black one I think it creates a look. So I just can't see myself covering that up unless the whole phone is covered by a xase. It's like whole hog or none at all. I'm just wondering how many of you actually will be getting the bumper?

I see what you mean...they should come out with a light gray one...I think I do want one though. I'll probably get the black one and have all black.

The price is RIDICULOUS.
I could never justify spending $29 on a freaking piece of rubber! You could cut holes in a live strong bracelet for $1.00!

I'm betting Belkin will come out with their version, $19.99 and including 5 in one package.

wait til a case that protects the entire phone drops

I think this is more of an *accessory* than a case, it's mostly for style.

 

[greeninternboy]

case>>>accessory

To you. I hate cases, I'd buy one of these bumpers (the white one), but they are way too expensive for what they are.

Well we know Apple knows about style, do you think this was in preparation for the people who didn't like the metal band? It is ridiculously priced considering you can get a whole case for that price, you would think they would offer you one color for free when you buy the phone as a bonus. I wont be getting one it just flies in the face of my purist feelings. I either want to cover the whole case for safety or nothing at all(which will never happen)

I am a pouch person myself. In fact, T-Mobile has the best case for my needs. I don't like the velcro and I don't like ones that snap closed. Magnetic pouches for me.

I liked the belt holsters until one I had snapped and I just haven't bothered with them since.

It feels like I'm wearing...

The pricing is kind of ridiculous for a "bumper", it's not bad... the more I look at them. Of course, if I do get one, it would be in black if I get the black i4 or white if I get the white i4.

 

[Ipheuria]

The price is just too ridiculous, I stand by the fact they should have given one out with the phone.

Agreed, unless it comes in a pack with all the colours there's no way they can really sell those for $29....

 

[sidspappy]

Yes, all the Taiwanese knock-offs will come out like a deluge in the next few months. Someone - like Belkin, or Case-Mate, or Incipio, etc. will make a good one. And it will be cheaper, guaranteed.

I like the look of the metal. I did go a little crazy with fun skins for my current phone, but think I'll be more restrained with the new one.

 

[rgar3388]

If I do get the bumper I'll get black on black. Will it still stand up straight on a desk with the bumper on? Otherwise I'll just go naked. I had my iPhone 3GS for a year and 3G for a year and only dropped each once. I had invisible shield on first and case on second but took it off alot cuz i like it naked. I'll just have to be even more careful with this one. Should I use another invisible shield?

You're elevating the weight and trying to make it balance itself on rounded rubber. It won't stand up.

 

[rgar3388]

Ya, I'll definitely be going naked then. I might still check on out when they are released though.

P.S. I'm iPhone Intermediate after my last post! WOOOO!!

I'm tempted to go naked with 4. The only reason I had cases was to protect the chrome, namely the bezel and the Apple logo from scratches showing up. The glass was really resilient. With iPhone 4, it's all glass and steel, so I don't really see any problems there.
