A drop test shows that Apple’s iPhone 4 Bumper is not as protective as the company thinks. Customers are encouraged by Apple to buy the Bumper in order to protect their iPhone 4 from drops and also eliminate the reception issue that the device appears to have. iFixYouri, performed a drop test on an iPhone 4 with the Bumper. The results are not that good as in just three drops the iPhone 4 glass broke. “We have heard a lot of talk about the iPhone 4 bumper helping with reception problems but now we test it to see if it can prevent glass and LCD damage. The results are not good for iPhone 4 owners who just got a protective bumper, as the 3rd drop on concrete resulted in a shattered screen,” the report reads. The company provided a video with the test and can be found below.
