I thought the sgp bumper it hard plastic over sillicone?

As for it's advantage over the apple bumper:
- more than black available (other color apple bumper are rare if not impossible to find ATM)
- 2 piece design should eliminate case where people have had their apple bumpers scratching the phone
- for the same price as apple bumpers u also get 2 screen protector front and back. Not jut crappy ones. Sgp screen protectors which they also sell by itself is really good and highly rated.

How's everyone's battery performance?

Mine is pretty bad.

I was using it non-stop for 2 and a half hours and it dropped 20%

I posted it in the last page. It's in the rfd group buy section. I hope they get enough pol and this deal goes thru soon. I feel nervous when holding my phone outside...

Heard good reviews about it but super expensive.

Good idea but from the pictures it makes it a little more bulky. Sorta defeats the purpose of the slim iPhone.

ordered my iphone 2 days ago from fido retentions , got the confirmation/shipping email yesterday

GOT IT DELIVERED TODAY!!! ( with microsim included as well!)

a total of 2 whole days



do you guys leave the phone charged for 4-5 hours before using it the first time? or do you use it out of box until the battery fully dies and then full charge?


talk about being lucky considering some people had to wait 1-2 weeks after ordering from retentions

interesting.


Acoustic Sound Enhancement
The case design acts as a virtual speaker box, redirecting sound from the bottom of the
iPhone 4 to the front, resulting in a richer, fuller sound quality.

Ya I read different things but these aren't like the old batteries and should be fine. Plus all apple products come fully charged.

The battery life on this thing isn't impressive btw

Anyone have this problem with revscene on safari on the iPhone 4. When I click on my subscribed threads and click one of the links, it doesn't go to the post I last viewed. It keeps going to An older post from days ago. For instance in this thread it goes to the post I made with the pics of the bumper cases.

Is it true that if you buy the iPhone from apple and get a contract with fido/rogers/etc, they will pay you back the difference of the cost? I heard from a friend of a friend. I'll be calling Fido tomorrow to ask about this, but I thought I'd ask here first.

Also: contract vs no contract, pros and cons? There are just so many pages of this thread...

basically only buy a non-contract if you buy direct from the Apple store because it's unlocked. If you have been with your carrier for years and don't plan to change get a contract your saving money plain and simple.


Damm I want one so bad dammit.
