Bumpers Belong on Cars, not iPhones

I hate to steal headlines, but this one from Fusion of Ideas was just too good. Listen guys, you can get an Apple bumper or any of the other cases Apple will have on sale. That’s cool. But for some, we don’t want to ruin the original form factor or pocket-ability of a sexy device. That’s why Fusion of Ideas is giving away their Steal Armor side pieces for free. You heard right.

Beginning today, Fusion of Ideas will be offering FREE StealthArmor for iPhone 4 – the 5-piece side bezel cover only – for those who are experiencing the dropped bar syndrome effect from unintentionally covering the antennae when holding the device, a recent phenomenon in the Apple community known as the “Death Grip.”

Like Apple’s Bumper case, which, announced on Friday by Apple will also be available free to all iPhone 4 users, the StealthArmor side bezel pieces provide a buffer between the user’s hand and the device’s built-in antennae, which in some cases depending on location, has helped to alleviate lost reception. Unlike the Bumper, however, StealthArmor is thin, sleek and low-profile, offering iPhone 4 users a compelling solution that won’t compromise the look and feel of the device.

Fusion of Ideas wants to give back to the iPhone community just like you’ve given to them. If you’re interested in their Stealth Armor (or at least a part of it), you can visit them online at http://www.fusionofideas.com/i4sidepiecepromo2010.html or in-store at the Irvine Spectrum Center in Irvine, California.
