I read through most of the thread here. Can anyone tell me of a docking station i can use in the office that will work with the metal bumper case on? I dont want to have to take it off and risk scratching it up.

thanks

Thanks for all the info on these here guys! I've always been jealous of iphone bumpers.. Still doesn't look like they protect very well though...

But hey check this out!!!!! I just ordered one of these for $15 including shipping from a US based company too (I think..). This one might be a knock off but looks like it has all the mic cut outs!

Just ordered one myself. I now have two cases, a bumper, and two battery door covers ordered and still waiting on the phone from Verizon. I've already purchased more for this phone then I have for all 5 of my other Smartphones combined. I probably never should have watched the drop tests of this phone. It's got me paranoid.

I now regret leaving positive feedback. I'm still going to send the seller an e-mail and see how it goes.
I hope you understand that the feedback system is between yourself and the seller. Not where the original came from. If it was defective, the seller will work it out and then you rate them on experience. Rating them on horrible fitment of a Chinese made case is irrelevant. It's about your customer experience.

Name INHUMANITY...

I guess I'll order one and start grabbing extra foam and vinyl.

Thats because the antenna design of iPhone4/s is in the sides which is completely blocked by the bumper... However, some bumpers like element case which i still have with my 4S dont have this issue since the other piece is plastic...




This is the scratch made by the bumper of my S3

It is so cheap I just ordered one as well from cellphoneshop. If anyone else tries I found a free shipping coupon code which saved $5..

Freeship1

So it only cost $9.99

And I am also in that "I have not even received the phone yet" club :)
