Cleaning iPhone 4 Bumper cases

Hi, I've had my Apple orange bumper case For just over two weeks and I've noticed the soft plastic is getting really dirty, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on cleaning them?
I've tried wipesand soapy water but it don't seem to be getting cleaner!
Thanks for help in advance

Firstly: REMOVE BUMPER FROM IPHONE before attempting to clean!!!
A solution of warm water and dishwashing detergent should do the trick. For harder stains try Goo be Gone which is sold in hardware stores, Home depot, Lowes etc.
Dry with a microfiber towel not a paper towel as this will leave lint.

Iphone with bumper case and connector cable

I recently purchased the iPhone 4 and gave my wife my 3G. I had a couple of cables that I use on the 3G for my car and at the desk. I attempted today to charge the iPhone 4 while on a trip only find that the cables that I have for the 3G will not fit into the iPhone 4 which has the bumper case. The opening on the case is smaller than the plastic insulator on the connector.
Fortunately I brought the one that came with it, which normally stays on my desk, along on the trip and was able to charge it without taking the case off. But now it appears I'll have to purchase another cable for my car charger.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I made the same discovery on both my iPhone4s. It would fit on my SkyDock either. So I was able to successfully Dremel both of them for a secure fit. It only takes about 15 minutes of careful work to get them modified for greater charger compatibility. Not sure it wasn't intentional to increase aggregate charger sales.

IPhone 4 Bumper Case Refund!?!?

So i have already bought a bumper case, and i can get a refund yeh...but rather then the hassle of sending that one back to get a new 1, would apple just give me my money back and then i keep my case...saves alot of hassle...would they do that?

lyricon,
It wouldn't matter if you sold it to someone else. The point would be that you got $29 back from Apple. The case is now free per Steve Jobs, so it would be like they gave it to you free from the beginning and then you sold it to someone. The person who would feel duped would be the person who YOU sold it to who didn't originally get it from Apple and doesn't have a receipt from them. However, that person, if he or she didn't buy a bumper or case through Apple, would still get his/her free bumper OR case (choices apparently are coming soon) from them, but I'm guessing he/she would only have the option of getting a new, free case, but not getting money back for the case he/she bought from you.
WHOA, now I'm confusing myself. What I'm saying is that I don't think Apple will be giving a REFUND to anyone without a receipt proving they bought a bumper. They will however give you a free bumper or selected case. These appear to be the choices:
1. Bought a bumper already. Go to store, get $29 back, keep bumper.
2. Bought bumper already, but don't like it. Go to store, get $29 back (if bumper in good enough condition?), and choose from other free case option.
3. Bought no case/bumper yet. Go to store, get free bumper or free case option.
4. I think Steve said there would be options online too. I guess you could order your free bumper/selected free case online and have it sent to you too, but I don't know if there will be a place to fill in and get a $29 rebate via mail yet.
I don't think Apple is just giving $29 back if you haven't paid for a bumper already. I think you can only get a free bumper or selected free case.

Questions about the iPhone 4 bumper case

im asuming it will be available tomorrow during pre-order in which ill buy being that there's not many (if any) cases out there and I cant imagine having a naked iPhone. I don’t remember them saying in the keynote on the material? it looks of hard plastic, then again it looks rubberish? did anyone catch that during the keynote because I don’t remember them talking about the material?
does anyone know of any cases out yet? I would think not being the makers probably need an iPhone 4 body to work with making cases. Google brought up nothing, thanks!

here you go http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-4-Cases/iPhone-4-Cases.asp
the bumper looks cool, but all but black or white will look kind of gay for guys to use. Ill be getting a black phone and would love a red bumper!
Also, $29 for something that costs probably way less than $1 to make is a little pricey IMO!

Why can't I post a review of Iphone 4 Bumper case?

Why not?
Is there something that users shouldn't be saying about this product?

IPhone 4 bumper doesn't fit 4S

So I don't see many articles or blurbs about the bumper cases not fitting, but they don't. The volume slider is about half way down into the case on mine. Are they going to fix this?

Are we talking about the official Apple bumpers?
The packaging is different if you are comparing:
The iPhone 4 Bumper text on the inside of the packaging is moved down on the older model.
You can also check the UPC on the back of the box: Older bumpers have IPHONE 4 BUMPER in all caps on the UPC, the newer ones do not.
The hands on comparison: http://www.iphoneincanada.ca/iphone-accessories/apple-iphone-4-bumper-case-compa rison-original-vs-revised/
Packaging: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVJA70zcU50 starting at 0:45.
For other cases, you want the ones that say either Universal or fit CDMA iPhone 4 for all models of the 4S. Case makers should state if their case is only compatible with the AT& i4.

IPhone 4 Bumper issue in Turkey

iPhone 4 had been puted on the market officially on the 24th of september. But none of the customers was able to get a "Bumper" neither free nor by paying. There is not even a single "bumper" on the market including the Apple Premium Resellers. Also we cannot buy "Apple Case Program" from iTunes. We could not even see that application. So how and when would we be able to achieve a "bumper" either it's free or not?

The temporary promotion from Apple for the free iPhone 4 bumper case program was only open to select countries. This was to appease early buyers due to reports of reception issues. There isn't any need for a case other than to protect your iPhone from damage. The so called "antenna issue" is a non-issue that has been blown way out of proportion due to users who either received a defective iPhone that should be swapped or don't understand how cellphones work on cellular networks. I have no issue with my iPhone 4 and my friends, family and colleagues have also confirmed they have no issues. Like any cellphone if you were to hold it outside and the signal bars dropped from 5 to none then your phone is defective and should be repaired or swapped. If you experience issues indoors with reception that isn't an issue with the iPhone and is an issue with the signal gain you're getting from your local carrier tower. I have used the iPhone 4 both with and with out a case and it performs the same. Outdoors I get 4-5 bars holding the iPhone and indoors 3 to 4 bars depending on where I am and how much physical obstruction is between me and the local tower. Anyone that lives in an already poor reception area should get a GSM signal booster for indoor use to improve their reception and not blame Apple for their reception which is due to living/working in heavily concrete buildings or using the iPhone in fringe areas of their carrier network.

IPhone 5 Bumper with adapter

Hey guys,
I can't find an iPhone 5 bumper case to use with my 8-pin to 30-pin apple adapter.
Do you have any clues?
Thanks,
Flavio

doesn't seem to be one, would this work, not entirely sure what it is? http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC598ZM/A/apple-iphone-4-universal-dock-adapte r-3-pack?fnode=45 or any other third party products?

Bumper Case

Can you return the iphone 4 bumper case from the free case program (no receipt) and receive a gift card from Apple?

No.

Did you know that an aluminium bumper case for IPhone 5 effects signal strength?

I purchased a third party aluminuim case online called Transformers bumper case. When I had it installed, it drops the signal all the way down to 1 bar. On the otherhand when I use a plastic or rubberized case, the signal is not affected. Does anyone else have a similar experience??

Never used a metallic case, simply because that changes the antenna configuration. A problem with first of the iPhone 4 models was attributed to hoe the iPhone was held and the effect on the surrounding antenna band. Good reason to not enclose the iPhone in a metal case.

Bumper Case Gratis para Iphone 4

Hola hace dos meses adquirí un Iphone 4 con la compañia de Movistar en México. Pero cuando me llegó el producto presentaba problemas de cobertura y cuando quise entrar al Bumper Case program ya se había pasado el tiempo para adquirirlo de forma gratuita. Quisiera saber si me pueden mandar mi bumper case porq si tengo problemas con antennagate! y Movistar me dicen que solo ustedes me pueden dar el bumper

Esa respuesta me gusto! Y de hecho el comentario no fue con el fin de desprestigiar la marca que la verdad me fascina! Estoy consiente de que el equipo tiene un ligero fallo, mismo que la verdad no se nota cuando utilizas el teléfono y le encuentras un montón de utilidades! Es impresionante todas las mejoras que implementa este modelo. La razón por la cual escribí fue porque llevo 2 meses con mi equipo que tiene problemas de cobertura pero no le tiro en cara a apple sino al prestador de servicios de antena por no resolver mi problema. LLevo 2 meses tratando de que revisen el equipo y verifiquen la falla. Un ejemplo: de cada 1000 equipos nuevos 1 puede estar defectuoso de fabrica por la recepción y es lo que me ocurre a mi. Ya compré la funda y mil y un accesorios y el problema persiste. Y de hecho en apple me dijeron que ellos podrían cambiar el equipo o bien darme la funda pero el problema es que no lo compré con ellos sino con movistar.
Mi molestia es con Movistar y no con apple! Considero que si movistar se pusiera las pilas por mi equipo ya tuviera uno nuevo y asunto arreglado! Y si pedí la funda es para demostrarle a Movistar que aunque apple me obsequió la funda el problema no es por la funda sino por la recepción o posiblemente un defecto de fábrica (1 entre muchos).
Saludos y gracias por tu comentario!
P.D. No puedo vender el equipo porque está en plan, ni lo quiero llevar a reparar para no perder la garantía pero me decepciona Movistar por no atender a mi garantía y como dice apple, ellos son los intermediarios para proceder a arreglar el equipo!

Best Bumper Case For Verizon iPhone?

What is the best bumper case for the VZW iPhone that is,
1. Pretty thin, doesn't make the iPhone feel that thicker.
2. Under $35.
3. Doesn't cover the back.
4. Has a sort of front or back lip.
5. Is good looking and is good quality.
It's a lot of stuff but I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend me some bumpers. Thanks.

What you just described is the apple bumper perfectly. Just go get one of those.

Iphone bumper cases

Does anyone have any idea of if and when Apple bumper cases will be available for the Verizon iphone (since the existing bumpers won't work, as the ringer switch has been moved a tiny bit)?

Bumper Case Scratches iPhone 4

I was horrified when I took the bumper case off of my iPhone 4 today after having it on for a number of months to discover HUGE scratches all around the steel band of my iPhone. I take excellent care of my iPhone, having a screen protector on the front as well as the back of the device. I have never dropped my iPhone and was disgusted that something that Apple make damaged my iPhone. I have been to my local Apple Store a number of times and they have just said that physical damage is not under warranty. I am going again in two weeks as I am busy until then. Do they not understand that it is their product that damaged my iPhone.
The main reason that I am annoyed at this is because when the iPhone 5 is released I will sell my iPhone 4. These scratched would have significantly reduced the value of my iPhone.
In short, I want Apple to give me a new iPhone.

Not everyone experiences it really. On mine there's no loss whatsoever. One of my friends has an iPhone which looses 2 bars, but that's all. It's not really a catastrophic problem. Also, the bumpers are a bit tacky and break easily.
