It’s still not clear exactly how protective the $US29 case will be, but it looks like the bumper’s overhang might keep the iPhone’s front and back glass faces from shattering if the little guy squirts out of your sweaty hands. I’ve never been much of a case guy personally, but this bumper thing, which is kind-of an anti-case, in a way, is starting to grow on me. [MacRumors]

Saturday, November 6, 2010 at 5:54 AMI was so very disappointed by the docking issues the bumper presents. I have spent good money on decent docks and there is no way I am going to remove the bumper each time. I was able to find a less expensive little dock extender that I use with my bumper and my iHome dock that I found at http://www.gadgetboost.com -definitely solved the problem and I get to keep both the case and the dock and not spend too much
