the bumper is not designed for protection, but as a way to customise your phone. Drop your phone even with a bumper on and say goodbye to the glass

type in consumer reports XBOX 360 rating in google search, you’ll find nothing but anti-Apple link listing and nothing about how defective the XBOX 360 is. Proves that the internet is controlled by money to bump up strategic listings.
Consumer Reports takes in $300 million annually to review products via “donations” they are corrupt, don’t believe they are independent or non-biased. They make money off of reviewing products they choose to support.
They take donations from old dying people etc.

Quirky.com has an iPhone4 case (called Tilt) that doubles as a stand in both landscape and portrait modes.
July 19th, 2010 at 1:17 am
You should always buy a bumper or case so i don’t really care. I do think apple messed up with the connection of the Iphone 4. But all other things about the iphone 4 are just great. It’s a piece of plastic just give one for free with every iphone 4. If you pay ton’s of money you should get it for free.

who buys a phone that costs hundreds of dollars without buying some sort of extra protection?
July 19th, 2010 at 2:09 am
@241293985 Profit margins. Why else?
July 19th, 2010 at 2:27 am

Time to get a droid
July 19th, 2010 at 4:15 am
I still like the duct tape option, you can get it in a variety of colors like the bumper
July 19th, 2010 at 4:41 am
They Fixed it today the 4.0.1 released today it doesn’t do it to me anymore

I saw similar rubber cases in various colors on eBay for less than $2.
I think this $30 is similar to the cheaper ones but have actual metal buttons on the sides instead of cutouts for your existing buttons like the cheaper ones. I’m not an Iphone user but I just wanted to pass on the info in case you were looking to save money.

@241293985 Because apple fans are dumb enough to buy something they can do.
July 19th, 2010 at 5:56 am
I think it’s funny that people are “ok” with patching up a brand new device with a piece of plastic. All because Apple f*#ked up.
July 19th, 2010 at 6:35 am
IFAIL big time……. $30 for a bumper? how much did it cost to make in China? $0.30 ? hah…
July 19th, 2010 at 7:22 am
Im really pissed about this, they better do something about it, or fix my phone or give me one of these for free, but im not staying like this lol
July 19th, 2010 at 8:12 am
blah, blah, blah “it’s just plastic” but we all want one. And that’s true…
July 19th, 2010 at 9:12 am
i think Mike should cut his nails…
July 19th, 2010 at 10:05 am
this is new iShit 4 !
July 19th, 2010 at 10:56 am
excellent video, the consumers shouldn’t have to pay apple to fix there issues. so if i owned a iphone 4, I’d used electric tape and have different color variations and spend my $30 on gas.
July 19th, 2010 at 11:42 am
wow, $30 dollars? Damn the lemmings of Apple will probably buy it thats why Apple doesnt care.
July 19th, 2010 at 12:11 pm
The thing costs $1 dollar actually. And yet they (Apple) are selling it for $30 dollars is just BS. I hope Apple gets their ass-whooped when Microsoft releases Windows Phone 7. That’s if they don’t fix the problem for free.
