iPhone 4 Bumper Could be Killed Off at iPhone 5 Announcement
September 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
The iPhone 4 bumper case seemed to be a convenient way to fix the antenna problem of the Apple smartphone. The case is designed to wrap around the edges of the device and protect it from surface scratches due to lifting the glass slightly off the table. By wrapping all the way around, the antenna covered up the small gap on the bottom left corner which in turn, prevented signal drop. Note that this is actually a common problem on other smartphones and not just the iPhone 4 that struggles with it.
