To be honest, I don't much like it. The major problem I have with it is that the charging cable doesn't really fit, well regardless of which one I use. So I don't have it in a case. I have XO Skins on the front and back but that is it. I know I'm probably playing with fire, but I'm just extra careful with it and with the skins on it, the grip is better anyway. How about you, what do you use to protect your iPhone 4, if anything?</p>

I didn't need it because I already have a case, but I ordered it anyways just in case. No pun intended :)

I received mine fairly quickly. (My son ordered one of the alternate cases and that wont arrive til late September). I actually love the construction. Excellent protection for the edges and does the job as far as the reception issue goes. Very cool case...though it does nothing to protect the back of the phone. The metal power and volume buttons are a nice touch and add a bit of quality.

Regarding your issue with the sync/chanrge cable...I have no problems connecting/disconnecting at all. I wonder if there are variances in the Bumper case.

The one problem I have though is that it doesn't allow the phone to fit in my Tom-Tom car dock. I probably wont use it in the long run. I like the feel of the naked phone in my hand much much better. Maybe I'll get one of those little Band-Aids to protect the corner.
