Gotten new iphone 4 today - best is with the bumper! (sky blue).
Quick Review:
Retina display is so gorgeous.
Hardware speed so freaking fast like turbo charge compare to my 3gs (i can feel it when playing the same game)
Camera is just magnificent, with flash! so nice photo taking.
802.11N is just so fast!
Multitasking rocks! i love it just only annoying the game need to restart whenever i flip back to the game apps
Folder very useful & better organizing
Gyroscope with 6axis control, really making so much smoother gaming experience when i playing the same game with both phone
Email is sort by title with multiple senders, much easier to follow up
Just backup my 3gs then sync up with new iphone4, everything just like "photocopy", except all the mail passwords need to set again (thumbs up IOS)
>more review will update from time to time, need more time to play with 1st.

Bumper brief review
- awesome rubber+plastic feel (matte+high gloss finish); with dual color.
- rubber act as impact absorber & better handling grip
- volume button & power button is just as gorgeous as the bare naked Iphone button itself (also made from high polish stainless steel)
- finishing is so good, hardly can see parting line & so fast the best casing i haven't seen in the market (must buy item!)
- easy to assemble


sorry for my lousy camera skill & quality of photos.

I hold the antenna plastic area (3 locations together) & hold it for 2mins, still no sign of signal drop. All full bar signal!
I heard my friends in Taiwan, where their telco lines is over "bandwidth" telling also no issue with antenna reception issue.
I suspect the telco line signal power maybe the culprit..
just my 2cents...
Of course with bumper, it is full proof for me.

vapor 400+ and bumper is just 29USD which converts to about 130+ more or less.

you promoting your own bulk or what ah bro? laugh.gif

but that is still very expensive for a piece of rubber.

yup it is quite expensive bumper, but it is really from Apple itself (for the 1st time). Quality is top notch plus with Stainless steel button built in (i haven't seen any casing out there with 2 shot rubber+plastic molding+stainless steel button). I am satisfied. Compare to those moshiro brand cover, i think this is much more better deal.

Compare with vapour, price is like 2~3X more, bumper is quite slim compare to vapour.
The main attractive vapour is the aluminum anodized finish, but beware once u drop it, vapour still will be scratched & dent, the impact protection is not as good as bumper (aluminum vs rubber+plastic).

For assembly, bumper is very convenient to assemble/dissamble; while vapour u need the allen key to do so.

Myself for the looks i do like Vapour, but for overall performance Bumper is clear winner. thumbup.gif

Cheers.

I have the Universal Dock meant for iPods, and it fits the iPhone 4 with Bumper case without the dock adapter attached.

I also just bought the iPhone 4 Dock from Apple Store Ginza yesterday, and with the Bumper case on, it fits but it is not flush with the dock, there will be some clearance at the bottom, and it will not charge, since the dock connector isn't connected fully into the iPhone 4. Naked iPhone 4 works fine on the iPhone 4 dock.

My Vapor is coming from Beavis's own bulk, and frankly, even RM400 on Elainor's price is a bit steep for me. The case is USD80, but the shipping CAN BE SHARED, and IS NOT USD25 PER CASE! For Beavis's own bulk, that USD25 is shared among the 14 participants, making it less than USD2 per person. Swallowing USD25 per person under the guise of shipping, is unethical IMO.

Also, if I were the one doing the bulk, I'd not pre-calculated and added the "supposed" tax cost into the total price. You never know if the item gets taxed or not. State the total price without tax, and ask your participants to pay that price. If it does get taxed, then either fork out the tax cost, or you get to keep the Vapor for yourself. Don't let them have the Vapor until they pay the tax cost. Either way it is a win-win situation. It is infinitely easy to sell the Vapor 4 case here, just look at the level of interest it has generated.

wrapsol price is pretty steep, just some PET film+VHB with some die-cut selling USD29.90
it is not easy to have film wrap your phone ZERO bubbles, & sometimes film VHB have trap some dirt residue...my 2cents.

for Crystal Case:
the main reason i get it coz i like the cosmetic finish of sand blasted Stainless Steel finish of the Naked phone. So i still clearly view from transparent case.
it is not so thick (about 1.5mm thick plastic), so i still can feel the compact size of the phone.

1 problem i encounter with the bumper, the docking hole undercut thickness is slightly thicker, so my old dock cable is having connection issue, it is loose.
for impact protection, bumper is definitely better than crystal case.
