Caseless Glide: Thinnest iPhone 4/4s Bumper

[burrito567]

how did you do that on your home button?, pleasee answerr

[hackking002]

What in hell have you done with the home button? :O

[DavidFaulconer]

I received my Glide yesterday, but experienced a 33% reduction in both 3G and Wifi reception after I installed it. After a couple of hours of testing, comparing the Glide, with the Apple bumper and naked; while using my wife's 3GS as a control group, I concluded that the Glide was making contact with the 4S antenna. I am returning it, but still feel that the design is elegant and the overall fit and finish truly amazing and hope that the issue is limited only the bumper that I received.

[MyZucchiniRules]

whats the difference between the at&t iphone and the verizon iphone? which one is better?(im from australia and we dont have the verizon and at&t services)

[larrygreenberg]

@MyZucchiniRules The location of the vibrate switch.

[Ztrimma]

@Ztrimma sgp glas screen shield or is the screen shield too thick ?

[larrygreenberg]

@Ztrimma Too thick.

[Ztrimma]

Please answer :) do you think this case will fit with sgp

[CarboliciousDesign]

Very cool bumper!! I have to try the look together with our Real Fiber Carbon Backcovers...!

Nice vid btw! :-)

[dunks206]

Do you know if this case will work with a full body skin like ghost armor?

[larrygreenberg]

@dunks206 Front and Back fine - sides probably not.

[PhoneyNo]

@larrygreenberg If the case is causing your thin screen protector to "buckle up" as you said (and almost immediately), I seriously doubt it would fit over a fully protected device that has ghost armor on it.

Also, how would it "fit" or "snap" together w/o sides?!? You said you thought it may fit minus the sides, but ALL pcs are needed to enable it to lock together, correct?

[larrygreenberg]

@PhoneyNo I said it would fit with a fully body skin - minus the side pieces of the skin. Meaning you'd be able to use it with a front and back shield only.

[charabolo]

orange would be amazing *___________*

[UltimateMontage1]

This will not protect the phone from drops at all, the sides would just unclip on contact. Good Idea but defeats the whole object of a case if you ask me

[Piggeliggel]

@UltimateMontage1 idiot, he said that it can be droppen from 10 feet with no problem..

[PhoneyNo]

@UltimateMontage1 No bout adout it! :)

Yeah, there are other MUCH STURDIER aluminum bumper cases that would hold together on a drop/etc. Some of the others are SCREWED together, so initially I'm thinking that this product will NOT get off the ground.

[deathmetalCharles]

for 50 bucks? over it

[pasckymix]

Thats  what I've been looking for.

[wastedvampire]

Hi Larry, is there some kind of protective layer under the metal bumper? I'm afraid of scratch marks on the side of the phone.

[mrsleakyshit]

will the phone stand on its own with the case on? Also, does the metal feel solid, or does it feel like it will bend out of shape once you drop it on a hard surface?

[cdzula4799]

does this work with a ZAGG front and back screen protector ? does it make it bubble at all >?

[DavidFaulconer]

Excellent review video and very impressive bumper case.  I hope that the project stays viable. As of this date, do you know if the case has been released? I plan to preorder in two weeks, when I order my AT&T 4S. Conceptually, it's the best minimalist case on the market and if there are no reception issues... should sweep the market. Would you advise using it without front and back screen shields?

[larrygreenberg]

@DavidFaulconer It has not been released yet. I always suggest front and back shields when using a bumper.

[shadowninja757]

I really like this case but I went on there website they just prototype do you know when they are for sale in the public

[larrygreenberg]

@shadowninja757 You'll have to contact them to ask.

[graphicgiraffe]

But can it protect just as much as a fat bumper?

[Kahuna21]

i clicked on the link and it says this product did not raise the necessary funding

[CalenderJuiceSheena]

Really nice case! Loving the elimination of screws!

[mohd4325]

Hey Larry! This comment is not related to the product, but I just wanted to give my 2 cents on your review style. DON'T change it!!! You've tried out another review style which honestly I did not like. They're too short and almost everyone is doing that. The format you currently use is really good, you delve into all aspects of the item you are reviewing which is why people watch your videos. Good luck with your future videos.

[larrygreenberg]

@mohd4325 Thanks.  I don't plan on changing.

[ShanGooFan]

This is a great looking bumper case. Thanks for reviewing it. I love the bling on your wife's home button. Where did she get it?

[larrygreenberg]

@ShanGooFan It's from The HiShop.

[ShanGooFan]

@larrygreenberg Thanks! I really like their bumper too. I've been looking for a good bumper. I like the slim feel of a bumper vs. a full case. I've never used their products but they seem great from the videos I've watched. Thanks again Larry.

[larrygreenberg]

@ShanGooFan Anytime!

[ducnguyen1994]

If dropped, I bet the glass of the iPhone will be broken, this doesn't look like it can help with any damage

[TheQUIETFROG]

Hey Larry, do you feel it is seems like a high quality case? I liked the element cases but event those where kinda too bulky, that case looks like a great alternative to a slim aluminium bumper style case.

[larrygreenberg]

@TheQUIETFROG The quality isn't comparable to Element frankly, but either is the price.

[TheQUIETFROG]

@larrygreenberg It seems like this is the type of case I Had been waiting for, I decided to back the kickstart project.

Thanks for your great reviews!

[tonythetaiga]

Larry, do you know of any snap on back covers that work with full body protection? I have a iPhone 4s.

[larrygreenberg]

@tonythetaiga Not really.

[GarryBacon]

Very Unique, I Don't Understand Why You Would Want It Haha, I Bet It Will Cost $30+!!

[Gadgetworld77]

By the way Larry this is Iluvgadgets77

[Gadgetworld77]

This is very unique in its own way. I am all up for new things when it comes to cases. I like the concept and yes colors would attract more people towards this. Well detailed review.

[Kahuna21]

Sorry i mean Apex Armor case

[Kahuna21]

Larry did you eer personally review the apex predator case? I know one of your reviewers on runaroundtech did. It looks pretty awesome

[larrygreenberg]

@Kahuna21 I did not.

[aahanscool]

how did u get that home button

[larrygreenberg]

@aahanscool It's from The HiShop

[pimpyouriphone3g]

Hi Larry,I can see this taking off if i'm honest,Everyone including me is looking for the ultimate metal bumper,What i mean by this is the fact that it's going to be Thin,Stylish,Good looking,Practical. Be it that the bumper is as thin as it is & maybe a little fiddly to get on the phone from the start,Once on it's going to give.. for a better word "The Minimalist" look & feel that ppl are wanting. Plus the fact that it's going to have the custom design of being able to change colours eventually

[iPinoyPhone]

Unique bumper case indeed

[Rhevano11]

i want this case but they don't have it in indonesia :( 

[larrygreenberg]

@Rhevano11 The case hasn't even been released yet.

[jjphel]

I really want this now

[larrygreenberg]

@jjphel Me too!

[boboblocks]

Awesome review! Are you planning on getting the iPhone 4s?

[larrygreenberg]

@boboblocks I did get it.

[arteexs]

@larrygreenberg u got it 9 seconds ago?

[larrygreenberg]

@arteexs Huh? I got the iPhone 4s on launch day.

[arteexs]

@larrygreenberg Nice Gratz :D

[Avranius]

awesome review man! always love your videos

[larrygreenberg]

@Avranius Thanks!

[n4w1d34]

it doesn't fit for the iPhone 4S

[larrygreenberg]

@n4w1d34 Correct. Did you watch the video? As I said, this prototype is only for the AT&T 4. The future version will fit both versions of the 4 and the 4s.

[armandornd]

FIRST!

[jungmaeng]

I would say that this is more for scratch protection than drop protection but, eh. Nice job as always larry!

[larrygreenberg]

@jungmaeng I'd agree with too. However, Caseless says they did successful drop tests from 10 ft.

[jungmaeng]

@larrygreenberg Oh Cool! a while back i saw a video where they dropped and iPhone for with out a case from 8ft and it survived so what ever still an awesome case.
