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.

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.

  • HT3406 Use iPhone 3G without a service plan. iPhone 4 sim doesn't fit. Original sims in phone won't work

    I want to use my old 3GS as an iPod touch.
    I just upgraded my old 3GS to iOS 6.?(current). I did a full restore. Now it is stuck in the activation process. I took it to the AT&T store to have them try. They put in a new sim but that didn't work. Apple support says to use the sim from my new phone. The iPhone 4 (my current phone) uses a different type of sim and it's not compatible in size. I have no way to make the phone work. I don't need AT&T service I just need to phone to work as an iPod touch.
    Thanks

    The old sim is still in there.  I went to the AT&T store and they tried putting a new sim in there.  That did not work.  I purchased an adaptor and tried fitting the mini sim from my iPhone 4s into the the old 3GS  It fit physically but did not activate the phone. 
    on a side note... the same adaptor worked to activate an old 3G.  but that runs iOS 4.? which does not block the phone from working before activation.
    The AT&T store gave me a new SIM also and that did not work.  I am sitting at an Apple store with a genius bar guy.  he has no idea how to make this work either... his suggestion was to put in an active SIM... oh wait, they are different sizes... ARG!!  seems the issue is with iOS6 and the 3GS and activation.
    anyone have an active SIM i can use... I'll give it right back I promise.

  • Car charger doesn't fit with bumper case!!!!!!!!!

    Hi
    Just got my new bumper case on the free offer and it look great BUT my car charger doesn't fit with the case on ( I have tried 2 different types)
    The house charger fits fine.
    The car chargers were bought of the net, will I need one form the apple store to get it to work.
    Has anyone esle had this problem?
    This is my first I phone and its brilliant but this case fiasco is annoying!!!!
    Cheers Sandy

    Hi,
    This is an unfortunate fact. Some aftermarket products don't fit. I have an iTrip and I had to modify the plug to fit in. Simple with a dremel tool. File will work too. Cheaper than buying a new charger/FM transmitter.

  • IPhone 3G stock and first gen charging cable doesn't fit cleanly.

    Has anyone else noticed that the charging cord that came from apple doesn't fit cleanly into their iPhone 3G? Mine fits crooked. It still charges and everything but it just doesn't fit right. This is true for the cord that came with the phone and the old cord from my own phone.

    It should fit flush and straight. I use multiple cables (the one that came with the iPhone, a BT Travel Cable, an old Griffin cable in the car (the one with the pinch-to-release clasp) - they all fit flush and straight in the iPhone 3G.
    You might want to have yours checked out at an Apple Store.

  • I send my iPhone to apple because my standby button doesn´t fit, what exactly should i send to apple? earphones and charging cable too?

    I send my iPhone to apple because my standby button doesn´t fit, what exactly should i send to apple? earphones and charging cable too?

    No! All Apple needs is your actual phone. Do not send the box or anything else as they will throw it away and you won't get anything back except for a phone! Do not send the sim card either and make sure you backed it up!

  • I recently bought iPhone 4 bumper, but I also think of buying InCase Reflex On-Ear headphones. Will its jack fit through the bumper?

    I bought the iPhone 4 Bumper about two days ago, and I tried it with every jack at home I could find. None of them fits through the hole, at least the curved ones. I think of buying an Incase Reflex On-Ear Headphone, but I doubt if the jack will fit. If there are any users, can anyone give some tips?

    It is not worth the time and money that will be involved repairing it piece by piece, other parts are going to start to fail due to the water incursion. Water and electricity do not mix and it needs to be completely dry prior to trying to apply power to it.
    Do an out-of-warranty replacement instead at your closest Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment before you go) for $149 USD.

  • Will the iphone 4 bumper will fit iphone 4S?

  • HT204291 When I airplay my ipad, it doesn't fit the tv screen

    I have ipad air and using toshiba tv. When I mirror the image to the tv screen, it doesn't "fit to screen". Are other people having this problem?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.

  • Headphones doesn't fit anymore

    Hey
    I have a little problem with my iPhone 3G, the headphones doesn't fit anymore. I have used the headphones with the phone since I bought it (July 2008) without any problems, but today when I tried to plug in the headphones, they didn't want go all the way down, and sound quality was terrible. I can push it all the way down (and the sound is normal), but it goes up again if I release them. It seems like something is stucked in side there (altough I can't see anything), or that something is broken. I have tried with two different headphone (both made for the iPhone 3G) with the same result.
    It could also be dust, but I seems strange that it should go from working perfectly fine (yesterday) to not working at all (today).
    Anyone experienced the same problem with their phone before?
    I'm considering going to the Apple Store in Orlando tomorrow to see if they can help (the ATT store where I bought phone couldn't help at all), but if someone knows something I can try before driving to Orlando, I would appreciate it.

    Take a look at this shot:
    http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu99/Dakine/3GJack1.jpg
    It is a shot of how it should look, the white plastic at the bottom is the moisture indicator. If you see lint you may be able to get it out with a very thin wire with a bend at the end to hook the lint out, just make sure the wire is soft and the phone is OFF

  • Apple iPhone 4 Bumper not Pro-Grip (with passthrough dock plug) friendly

    I use a ProGrip to hold my iPhone on my dashboard and plug into the car's receiver (Dual XHD7714). The phone docks in the ProGrip normally and you plug the dock cable into the Grip. With the naked iPhone this all works fine. With the Apple Bumper installed the phone is much harder to get fully plugged in. It can be done, but also usually becomes unplugged while driving, so basically the Apple Bumper doesn't work with it. The unit I have is fully adjustable for the width of the phone, just not for the dock connector. Thus this case is useless for me (I guess I got what I paid for! since it was free).

    I bought the bumper and haven't had any problems with the signal dropping. The opening for the dock connector on the other hand frustrates me to no end. I've found a few possible solutions to that problem, but two will cost you more money, and one involves a knife.
    1. Sendstation dock extender: http://www.sendstation.com/us/products/dockextender/
    They are currently working on an extender that works with the bumper, so this one is a future fix.
    2. Belkin Dock Adapter for the Shuffle. http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=245852#
    I haven't tried this one out, but I'm thinking it's possible that it might work as a bridge between old cords/adaptors and the cord that comes with the iPhone 4.
    3. Cutting the bumper port hole to make it wider and/or deeper. I haven't tried this one either. Good luck.
    I think I'm going to just wait for the Sendstation dock extender. Either way, shame on you Apple for causing this problem.

  • Dock station just doesn't fit!

    Got my iPhone yesterday and connected my dock station, BUT my phone just doesn't fit very well and I have to hold the phone in quite firm to get it charging! Tried my bossess docking station and the same with his. (and yes we have the correct docking station). Sure I can just use the cable instead but why pay good money for a docking station that you can't use...right?
    Does anyone have a solution...am I missing something? Seems odd that both my boss and I have the same issue?
    L

    If you have an Apple docking station designed for the iPhone 4, you don't have to worry about inserts.  If on the other hand, you have a 3rd party docking station you may have inserts.  Some manufacturers make docking stations that will work with any iPhone and will provide various inserts for the different iPhone models.  The inserts allow the different iPhone models to fit in dock properly.

  • My SIM card doesn't fit in my Ipohe.

    I just bought Iphone 4S unlocked. But my SIM card doesn't fit my Iphone, I know I need to get micro SIM card. But I heard that you can cut your SIM card into micro SIM card. Does Apple Stores do that?

    No

  • I cut my iphone 4 SIM card to fit into my new iphone 5 phone

    I cut my iphone 4 SIM card to fit into my iphone 5, and it doesn't fit and be is stuck in the phone. What do I do?

    Make an appointment at the genius bar and see if they can help you get it out. Hopefully, you didn't physically damage the phone. Nano-SIMs are thinner than Micro-SIMs, as well as being smaller.
    Then, go to your carrier and get an actual Nano-SIM.

  • IPhone 3G slip in case fits the 2g?

    Hey guys, it's me again with another question.
    I know the other case doesn't fit, but I was wondering if this case would fit. It's a slip in case, so you have to slip it in and out all everytime. The person said it wouldn't fit, but it's a slip in so I'm guessing it would fit.. Could anyone help? It's either one of these 2 cases, doesn't matter..

    thanks guys, please help!

    I highly doubt it will since it looks like a hardcase with the material coating it. Your only bet to finding a case that will work is finding a soft gel case, but I can't even guarantee that it will fit your 2g if it wasn't specifically made for it.

  • IPhone 4s bumper?

    I'm thinking about getting an iPhone 4 bumper for my iPhone 4s. But will this fit my iPhone 4s? Apple say it fits both phones but I don't want to waste £26 for nothing!

    Look for the NEW model. The one you can order off of Apple's website will be a new model. The model number will say iPhone 4 Bumper instead of IPHONE 4 BUMPER. The packaging is also different being that the text saying iPhone Bumper on the front has been lowered.
