bouncy sugru bumper for iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S + NEW VIDEO

Step 8 Good to know:

sugru bonds well to the metal on the frame of the iPhone 4 but does not bond to the glass (there is some funny coating there)
sugru does bond to previous iPhone screens!

Does sugru only bond to iphones? what about an original droid?

Hi pismoian, sugru bonds to all kinds of matials; glass, wood, metal, fabrics and some plastics :) Have a look at our gallery to get a better idea - http://sugru.com/gallery/

Hello! I was wondering if one can surge go on fabrics?? And two, does this work on roundish phones too??? Pease answer asap :) thank you

Has anyone tried this with screen protectors? Would you recommend placing screen protectors first and then Sugru over them (maybe a better bonding surface?) OR would you mold the Sugru and then custom-cut screen protectors to fit around the Sugru?

Hi prosilire, yup, you'll be pleased to know that this has been tried. sugru did not bond to the screen protector on Kary's first generation iPhone. Not sure what brand the protector was but I am guessing that they are all pretty much the same... I would recommend placing your screen protector first and then sugru over that, it worked a treat for Karys :) James

I LOVE THIS HACK! I molded it over front & back screen protecters to which the Sugru bonded nicely I've had blue sugru on my iPhone 4 corners for a month now. They are still on tight! BENEFITS: 1) I get many comments from people about how cool they look. I should sell the stuff! 2) The sugru corners give my fingers leverage when holding the phone. Hard to describe, but the minimal amount of Sugru goes a long way to keep the phone confidently in hand. 3) Protection. Despite comment 2 above, I fumbled and DROPPED MY PHONE TWICE today, once onto wood and once onto a metal grate. The phone actually BOUNCED and emerged unscathed!! Thanks for this amazing Instructable!
