AppAdvice has posted some closeup photos of the new Bumper case for the iPhone 4.
Dress up your iPhone 4 with a Bumper. Choose one of six colors white, black, blue, green, orange, or pink and slip it around the edge of your iPhone 4. With metal buttons for volume and power, two-tone colors, and a combination of rubber and molded plastic, Bumpers add a touch of style to any iPhone 4.
Nothing is uglier than a "beautiful device" that doesn't have a nice case and has been beaten up. My kid has a 3Gs and doesn't use a case and is scratched all over. I prefer a nice case and the great functionality of the DEVICE. Not too sure about the bumper though.
i agree,they putting that bumper to protect the screen of the phone, if you'll notice the screen its not the same as the iPhone 3g, the screen is a little bit pop up on the metal, unlike the 3g, the screen is protected by the metal bumper...however the iphone 4 is great!but the casing is poor..
