Unofficial iPhone 4 bumper/case/cover thread

[MotionMan]

I am about to receive the iPhone 4. What does AT use to cover/protect their iPhone 4?

Pics, links and opinions would be most appreciated.

x2, my seller missed/didn't know about the bumper program. I'm still using the iPhone 4 bare, and I always need to use it with my right hand. suxors

Nude. I don't do anything to expose my phone to significant danger, so I've never had any reason to add any kind of protection (and as such, bulk) to it.

I do want to get something because of how my wife treats her phones and the fact that I put mine in my pocket.

I like bare, but went with a gelaskin and thing stick-on screen protector and they're pretty good.

CapsuleRebel. Saved my 3G from some very hard drops. It comes with 2 screen protectors that are quite nice, as well as universal dock adapters if you have speakers or something that use them.

80 bucks? Good christ, doesn't look like you get much protection either. They mention a coating to protect from shock, but it doesn't look like much. Any sort of drop from too high will most likely still hurt something. For that price I'd expect a lot more coverage :\

speck - cloth plaid black. does not cause iphone 4 matte anti-glare screen to bubble at all ever. (almost every other iphone4 case will eventually bubble the edges, think about it)

+1 ... IMHO this is the best case. I've had the Apple Bumper (loose fit and scuffs the antenna surfaces) and the Griffin Reveal (also loose and a too 'sticky') ...

The Rebel fits perfectly snug and offers a lot of protection against drops etc.

I use a black Bumper (free from Apple) with the brown faux leather back from SGP, and a Steinheil screen protector - http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/apple-iphone/iphone-4/sgp-iphone-4-skin-guard-set-series.html. Provides very good protection and looks elegant. I don't love the way the bumper effectively makes the phone thicker, but I do like the protection and the fact that it makes it possible to set the phone down on slanted surfaces without sliding.

I just put on Gelaskins. They work fine for me. Protects it from major scuffs on the back/front/side while going in and out of my pocket.
