4th Design's Amazing 4th iPad 2 Aluminum Bumper Case

You're looking at what possibly is the first ever, tue aluminum bumper case made for the iPad 2. Is it just me or does this look simply stunning? The 4th aluminum bumper for the iPad 2 is made by the same designers who created the favorable Blade aluminum bumper for the iPhone 4 called 4th Design, which are known for their precision and close attention to detail. The 4th aluminum bumper for the iPad 2 is sand blasted for that matte finished look. Creating such a massive aluminum bumper for the iPad 2 is no easy task, but it looks like 4th Design has thought about just everything. The back is fitted with rubber, anti-slip corners so that the back of your iPad 2 won't get scratched up when you set it on a table.

 

Large cutouts were made to insure easy access to buttons and ports alike. And there are even silicone inner lining that were applied on the inside of the 4th bumper to prevent any potential damage and scratching from being made to the iPad 2's aluminum. This reminds me of ColorWare's Grip, a poor attempt at an aluminum bumper handle for the iPad. If you like the 4th aluminum bumper as much as I do, you can pick one up for $119. Plastic just doesn't cut it anymore.

Apple Removed Traces Of White iPhone 4 From Online Store

Oh so this is what Apple's Bumper cases look on the black iPhone 4. You know, the only color that is available to purchase from Apple. Ever since Apple released the iPhone 4 and the Bumper cases, Apple's online store only displayed the Bumper cases on white iPhone 4s instead of black or even both like they do now with the iPad 2 and Smart Covers. Other reports have said the Apple completely removed every single trace of the white iPhone 4 graphics on their online store. This was long over due. Well at least now it's easier to pick out the colored Bumper of your choice for your black iPhone 4.

More.'s Glam-morous Rocka iPhone 4 Cases

This case caught my attention, it's called the Glam Rocka by More. Thing. It's essentially a jelly polymer bumper style case for the iPhone 4 with a more interesting look. The pyramid texture on the sides looks like it would provide a decent amount of grip to your iPhone 4. The Glam Rocka is made to snugly fit around your iPhone 4 and it's available in five colors for $12.90, not bad eh?

iPhone 4 Bumper Giveaway Costing $175 million!

 

To sort out the antenna problem with the iPhone 4, Apple is giving away free bumpers to all iPhone 4 owners. But as they don't just appear out of thin air, Apple is going to set aside $175 million of iPhone 4 revenue in the September quarter, according to Apple's CFO Peter Oppenheimer during the Q3 earnings conference call. But as in the same conference call they reveiled that they earned over $15 billion, shelling out $175 million for iPhone cases, won't be too much of a catastrophe for Apple.

The $175 million might seem a huge amount for normal people like us, but compered the $1.5 billion Apple would have to pay for a full recall of the iPhone 4 as some industry analysts are predicting, giving away free cases is a much better option for Apple.
