Nice one. Same! Just that I switch between white and orange. Haha! Did you apply a piece of screen protector before putting on the carbon fiber? I didn't, so I'm somehow worried that after a few months when I take off the carbon fiber the rear glass might have some minor scratches on it.

Cool, and yep, i did apply the screen protector (the free one i get from buying some case lol) to protect the apple logo there. takes time to put and align the carbon with the screen protector at the back.

i think its fine without it if you have the pouch, just have to bear with the fingerprint there if the logo get touch...
edit: if you are talking about it get scratch when you take out the carbon fiber, it wont and no sticky residue left on the glass.

The fingerprint part is okay on the logo. As the carbon fiber has some thickness, putting the phone on a table won't scratch the logo nor the camera lens and led. I'm just worried that it'll get scratched after peeling the carbon fiber off, as mine's SGP bought from Lowyat not the 3M one.

Dont worry much, it wont and im using SGP too. i did re-apply for many times. its just a phone, by the time we might already upgrade to iPhone 5 tongue.gif

I used a vapor case before, and nothing went wrong with my antenna. I'm not sure that how many dBs were reduced as I do not have any labs for testing but I'm pretty sure that my signal strength was more than decent (4-5 bars) when I did not put on any case, or when I installed a vapor case, or a bumper.

In the begining, im planning to get the vapor case, but after reading some feedback ive mix feeling especially regarding the signal strength; and end up getting the bumper, which much cheaper and a ready stock. The vapor really have some aesthetic and elegant look tho.

hey guys,

i plan to get the original apple bumper for my iPhone 4. any opinions from those who has used the bumper before?
*
It's decent only it get dirt after quite awhile using it (am not nitpicky anyway lol). Just get a back cover and screen protector you are done.
You might read about the bumper scratch the metal band before. I've check mine, i dont have any scratch yet. I believe the scratch is actually the plastic mark from the bumper itself especially on the edge of the phone.

Bumper is highly recommended if you don't plan to get a Vapor. Haha!
My rating is Black > Orange > White > Blue > Pink > Green.
Green is extremely terrible! Please don't get that.
*
Green is terrible?!! I like green.

From the photos post about the alumnacase, there looks like uneven level from the part where the case connected at the lower part.
