The images make it look like the plastic can be removed. Could the case be made into a bumper with no back?

Not really, the rubber bumper fits the phone but is not tight around the device. Also the bumper is designed to have the back on and is grooved for the back to fit it and really would not offer much protections without the back.

It could be used as a bumper only hut would look strange because of the ridge around the edge

There is a clear bumper version through AT&T; but you do need the bumper portion otherwise it will just fall out.

It is a 2 piece case. The bumper and plastic case are indeed separate and must be put on with the bumper first, and the clear case after. Unfortunately, the bumper is not snug enough to stay on without the case.

The sides are a little loose without the plastic on, and there is a ridge around the front edge that normally lines up flush with the plastic. It would be slightly less comfortable and I wouldn't trust it to stay in place if dropped.

The case is three pieces like an otterbox. The two plastic halves go together and covered by the rubber. So no, but if you're meaning to take off the screen protector part only...then yes. That is glued to the case and in our case was already coming off a bit, so should be able to be removed if needed.

no, but why would you want to? the back of the iphone scratches.they sell them without the plastic back anyway.

The case is basically made of rubber with a faux leather back. It is a sturdy as a bumper case, but not on the same level as an otterbox or something like that.

With the correct tools you could do it, a rotozip or dremel tool would do it. I have had zero luck using cases from different phones. Most cases like this are designed around the phone and if they do not fit exactly then they pop off way to easy.

No. You could probably get creative though and pull off the car and buttons and glue down a pic on top. It doesn't have a protective picture cover there either.

Not really, the rubberized part is mainly at the top and bottom of the case. The plastic takes up 95% of the side edges.

No, but you probably can make some. This is probably the best case I have owned.

I am not a seller, just a customer so I do not know about bumpers for the corners. I didn't even realize that this case had them to begin with.

Hi,The standard screen protectors can be used without the bumper getting into the way at all! It is a very nice fit. I bought two of these and both for just nice. Hope this helps :)

No, the bumper (frame) is part of the rubber cover. It's detachable and you could use the rubber by itself, but not the frame.

No the case is decorative, not protective. It's even with the screen, no bumper to protect the screen if you drop your phone.

I didn't try but I don't see why not. If you are wanting to remove it to add a glass one it might be tough. The clearances are pretty tight, so it would have to be a thin glass protector to work. The face of this case is hard plastic and the sides are rubber (like otter box). The back is plastic but molded to the sides so the case is 2pc. So if there was something holding the front off it would be hard to work the sides into the channels they lock in. It's kind of hard anyways, which is good because to me shows quality in mfg. and that the case should last a long time. The protector on it is pretty thick but almost not there at the same time.

Never even thought of this, however after removing the black rubber (which fits between the phone and the bumper) the phone falls right through the bumper, although if you wanted to cut the back off with an exacto it would probably work perfectly.

Yes, but my bumpers already started to separate from the back of the clear backing. So, I wouldn't recommend this product.

The bumper is really flimsy part! Its a two part case. First goes the rubber part that wraps around like a normal case then u put on the bumper. There is a place where the bumper fits in and the only part close to screen will be the lip from the rubber case. Once the bumper is on the case it looks awesome and helps pressing the buttons. I think there is also reviews on youtube.

Negative..a bumper case won't fit over top of this case. However, this case has a great look to it while maintaining the sleek look that the bumper case gives.
