So what about the official iPhone Bumpers? I have heard rumors of them scratching the phone, yet a friend of mine who is extremely anal about his stuff (because he sells his stuff away used, to get newer models) swears by the zagg front and back shield and a bumper case by apple. His phone has had a bumper case for over a year and there isn't a mark on the stainless band, or anywhere else.... In addition, he rarely takes the bumper off to clean inside, because he doesn't want the bumper to become stretched and loose. So the band is rarely cleaned, yet still scratch free.
So was this all exagerated by the internet?
Anyone else using the bumpers without an issue?
