Can it be used without the bumper? Will the buttons be accessible?

Yes; however, it would be very uncomfortable holding your phone. The bumper secures the silicon surround into place. The controls are still accessible with just the silicon surround, but it is not as attractive to look at. Also, the bumper has the power & volume controls attached to it. Just gives the device the extra colored flare.

Yes, the buttons are accessible without the bumper, but you will want to use it. The bumper makes little to no difference in the dimensions of the case itself and looks good on it.

There are cutouts in silicon part but the design is such that the lip surrounding the sides would make it really uncomfortable to use without bumper.

It is one piece, thus 'hybrid', soft inner rubber & hard outer shell. All buttons, slots, speakers are easily accessible, including charger slot. The case also has very sturdy volume button overlays. I have not had problems with this case. It is super slim, & highly protective, without being bulky or intrusive.

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

This case has great grip on the sides. It is also very sturdy. Because it is sturdy, however, the buttons take a little more pressure than without the case. I hope this answer helps.

Absolutely not! It doesn't even fit with a slim bumper cover. I returned it for that very reason. They're description is very misleading on the website. I'm still searching for the right fit. Have yet to find one.

Unfortunately, the bumper cannot be used without the backing in place. The bumper is a little oversized to be able to fit around the shell and won't fit the phone without it.

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 :)

Not unless it's thin AND the bottom is completely open. I have a very thin bumper, and I have to take it off.

I don't believe so if it does you will not have access to your back buttons

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.

Yes. Both buttons are accessible. The case is very nice, however, as mentioned in previous reviews the magnets did affect the operation of my device. I have since switched cases.

the bumper is not easily added, by itself; it is very snug. and, the hard case fits very snugly around the bumper...it will require some trial and error. I completely put the bumper first, then closely watched the sides so that it fit within the case.

I'm not sure. I have the iphone5 and I don't believe any bumpers are made for it so I couldn't tell you and I don't want to say yes or no and end up being incorrect. Sorry I couldn't help.

Yes, you can purchase this item without the bumper. The product is listed a Carter's 4 Piece Crib Bedding Set.

Yes you absolutely can put that bumper on it even without lifting it! It is a great bumper it literally saved my life! I hit a stopped car on the highway at night with their lights off at 60mph and I walked away! I could not indorse this bumper stronger!!

Yes, bumpers allow to defend the screen to a degree. But recommend a screen protector.

There are four license-plate bolts that are used to screw the bumper-shox on.......... Nothing in reality would prevent it from being unscrewed. But I would think that is VERY unlikely!

I haven't tried it with the bumper case. It works fine with the LG Quick cover, so I can only assume that there will be no problem with the bumper case. Again, this is only an estimation.
