Don’t Be Bumped Off Your Network

Google Jumps into the Network


To say network devices play a part in our everyday lives is an understatement. Just like these devices, rubber feet are everywhere and serve as protectors.  We are constantly surfing the web, checking email, accessing our social media pages, or online shopping. Modems and routers play a pivotal part in the overall production in today’s society. Since technology is constantly changing, there is always a new product, design or upgrade that becomes available to increase overall performance. Google has recently unveiled a new Wi-Fi router called the OnHub. This tabletop router provides a new way of accessing your Wi-Fi by using the OnHub app on your smartphone. It automatically adjusts your settings to provide a better user experience within in your Wi-Fi environment.

Rubber Feet on Bottom of Routers & Modems


There are different types of network routers and modems on the market that vary in shape and size, but there is a part that is common in all of them. At the bottom of each router there are four rubber feet that protect the router and the surface it is on. At Bumper Specialties, Inc., we offer several styles of rubber feet that will fit on different types of routers. We also provide replacement feet in various shapes and sizes for this particular application just like we do for laptop feet.

Our cylindrical, hemispherical, and square self-adhesive rubber feet are made of 100% polyurethane that will not mar, scratch, or stain any surface. Our rubber bumper feet can also be applied to protect many other applications that you see each day.

The Timelessness of Bumper Feet

In an ever changing and unpredictable market, we’re very proud to continually meet the needs of current trends. Over the past 25 years that Bumper Specialties has been in business, we’ve seen many products become obsolete. Luckily for us, we’ve never had a shortage of new and emerging technologies that would benefit from our rubber stops. We’re no longer used on tape decks or cd players, but our rubber stops are found on iPod docks. Bumper feet are no longer needed on typewriters, but we are on computer keyboards and laptops. We used to be on VCRs (back when dinosaurs roamed the Earth), and now bumper feet can be found on an endless list of audio and video equipment.

We’ve seen products that use bumper feet come and go…but we are not concerned about bumpers ever going out of style because just as quickly as products meet their demise, new technologies emerge.
Past and present time pieces.
Many of our applications have gradually transformed over time. The clock on the mantle needed rubber feet just as much as your docking station alarm clock. Though the apparatus on which we tell time changed, the need for rubber feet did not.

Once on typewriters, now used as replacement rubber feet on laptops!
Many customers call in looking for replacement rubber feet for their laptops because the original ones fell off. We have a variety of laptop feet that will match the existing rubber feet whether you have a PC or an Apple. Typewriters utilized rubber feet the same way your laptop does. It lifts the equipment to sustain airflow and prevent overheating, and the anti-skid technology prevents it from scratching surfaces.

Rubber feet on telephones
The popular rotary phone transformed into the present day telephone, but rubber feet survived the transformation! To the cell phone obsessed, landline telephones may seem a thing of the past, but don’t discount their relevancy, offices and homes still use desktop telephones – which still need rubber feet!

As the present collides with the future, new products needing rubber feet materialize. If you know of or own a product that would benefit from our rubber bumper feet, let us know!

Bug Shields To The Rescue

Bumper Specialties is a manufacturer of self-adhesive polyurethane rubber bumper feet, but we could see how our name might be slightly misleading….

We get a ton of calls about car bumpers. No we can’t fix your engine or rotate your tires or replace your front bumper because someone backed into you. And as much as we’d like to be able to fix your ’57 Chevy’s bumper, that is not our specialty. But what we can provide you with is our own BS-57 bumper foot that is used on automotive accessories like bug shields.

Bug shields, or ‘hood protectors’ go on the front of cars and trucks directly above the headlights and extend across the whole hood. Their name is self-explanatory – but if you’re more of a visual learner:
Bug Shield 
Our bumper feet prevent the shield from banging against the car. Many automotive accessories manufacturers have designed hood protectors that successfully deflect bugs while also protecting the front body of the automobile. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they protect your vehicle from all types of weather and debris.

Our conical, BS-57 self-adhesive bumper is perfect for this application. Its tapered shape keeps the shield from banging against the car, thus protecting the paint and hood. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, one of our other conical bumper feet may work better for you. If you like to take your truck though rough terrain and harsh weather, you needn’t worry. For this kind of outdoor application, we provide a strong acrylic adhesive that will stay bonded regardless of the climate.

Keep the Party Bumping

We are always proud of the fact that our bumper feet are manufactured in the USA.  The Fourth of July is right around the corner; all you need is a hot dog, a cold drink, and a nice body of water to bronze yourself next to. While you’re enjoying your picnic this year, take a moment to notice the rubber bumper pads around the party. (Because they are definitely more exciting than fireworks!)
This grill uses protective rubber feet.
On your quest looking for our products, you may find them being used to protect your barbecue, which is one of our many outdoor bumpon applications. Collapsible shelves and doors on the grill are equipped with rubber bumpons for sound dampening and vibration resistance. After all, you want the party to be loud, not the slamming of the grill. If you take grilling very seriously, you’ll want to ensure that your equipment stays in mint condition. The precious grilling atmosphere that you’ve created won’t be interrupted by unnecessary noise. Our products prevent your grill from succumbing to wear and tear by serving as protective stops.
Glass table using protective rubber bumpons.
Grills are not the only outdoor application; bumpons are used on glass patio furniture as a buffer between the glass and the table frame. The bumper feet prevent the glass from getting cracked or scratched. Your outdoor furniture will last longer so that the party never has to end.  And you shouldn’t be concerned about inclement weather; self-adhesive polyurethane bumpons can withstand all climates.

We may not have red and blue color options, but we do have white, clear, grey, black and brown bumpons available. You can check out our full line on our website. From all of us here at Bumper Specialties, have a fun and safe Fourth of July!

Apple Rolls Out New Software, Bumper Feet Stay Stuck

If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past couple decades, you’re probably – at the very least – conscious of the impact Apple has had on society. With the 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference in full swing, Apple announced exciting new software updates that were highly anticipated by both developers and consumers.
However if you were anticipating new hardware announcements you were probably disappointed, it looks like you’ll have to wait for the fall for the new iPhone 6. Luckily your Apple accessories can still be used on all your current products.
The countless Apple accessories constantly require Bumper Specialties products, which means regardless of the software updates, your accessories will not become obsolete. We’ve always felt an affinity towards Apple because our rubber feet can be utilized on all of their products and accessories. Our bumper feet are purchased as replacement Macbook laptop feet for a non-slip grip. They can also be found on iPhone docks in which rubber feet are used to reduce vibration and to keep the dock in place to prevent sliding on surfaces.  Our bumper pads are even used for unique applications like a microphone stand attachment for your iPad.
While the software is constantly changing, the hardware you use for accessories has not. Capsicum Sports has a single hand tablet holder with a built-in tripod mount. Your hand can easily slip into the strap on the back of the iPad or set up the tripod to take a selfie. The EyeGrip base is very low profile and includes four polyurethane feet that allows stable desktop operation. You can see from the picture that our rubber stops are on the back four corners for a anti-skid grip. Not only does this Apple accessory improve device functionality, but it’s also extremely affordable.

Your Closets Best Accessory – Rubber Feet

Custom cabinetry extends beyond the kitchen and into the rest of the home – which means our protective rubber feet can be found there too. The entertainment center in the den; the bookcases in the library, the cabinetry in the bathroom, the ‘his and her’ walk-in closets, all come equipped with our favorite rubber protectors.
Beautiful walk-in closet
Valet Organizers, a customer of Bumper Specialties’, pairs function with elegance in their closet designs. They design media centers for the entertainers, wall beds for the spatially challenged, home offices for the workaholics, crafting stations for the serious DIYer, and deluxe walk-in closets for your designer threads. They like to use our small clear hemispherical BS-07 cabinet protector. This bumper foot provides a soft close cushion for sound dampening and vibration resistance.
Valet Organizers walk-in closet
They place our rubber bumper pads on the four corners of the underside of drawers and cabinets to protect the custom cabinetry against slams and wear. Rubber feet also protect against marring and scratches. By cushioning the wood, you’ll lengthen the life of your custom woodwork. We offer various bumper feet perfect for cabinet door stop applications. We provide clear bumper feet that completely blend in with the woodwork. Alternately, you can choose from our black, brown, gray, and white bumper feet options. Custom colors are also available.

As the slippery slope of ideas, Pinterest makes it very easy to indulge in fantasies about the endless possibilities. They have some closets that would make even Carrie Bradshaw blush. Whether you’re stocking stilettos or bow ties, seeing your wardrobe perfectly displayed against the custom cabinets is enough to have MTV Cribs knocking on your door. But a glorious walk-in closet is not just for the rich and famous, Pinterest also has plenty of DIY/low cost ideas because Pinterest doesn’t discriminate when it comes to your budget.
Dark brown drawers in walk-in closet
Shoe lovers need shelves, watch lovers need drawers, and your meticulously color coordinated wardrobe needs to be hung in custom cabinets – which means all of these things need rubber bumper feet! Although the contents of your closet may be expensive, our rubber feet are not, so you’ll have more cash to fill that ample closet space.

Oh, the Places Bumpers Go!

Bumper feet relaxing on the beach in the West Indies - Four Seasons in Nevis
Bumper feet like to vacation in style; that’s why you can find our rubber grips in luxury hotels all over the world. Hotels provide all the essentials: a bed, a toilet, a safe, a telephone, and of course, bumper feet. The pictures featured in this blog are from the beautiful hotels that use our rubber feet.
Bumper feet are used throughout this hotel room – Four Seasons, Seychelles
On your next vacation, as you settle into your hotel suite and acquaint yourself with the mini bar snacks, take a peek around the room. Can you spot the bumper feet? Look behind the door; the rubber stop protecting the handle from hitting the wall – that’s us. Lift up the telephone and look on the bottom, those bumper feet grip the tabletop so the phone doesn’t slide off. The safe where you’re keeping your passport and jewelry also has bumper feet on the bottom. The desk with the glass top has rubber spacers between the wood and the glass to protect the veneer of the wood. The picture frames use bumper feet to stay level and protect the wall from scratches. The acrylic display announcing the HBO movies and room service menu has bumper feet, check them out while you order overpriced mac & cheese. Bumper feet allow for the perfect placement of objects all around the hotel room including phones, soap trays, safes, iPod docks, and pictures frames.

Hotel rooms have become as luxurious as the destinations themselves. The Nevis West Indies, a Four Seasons hotel, provides all the comforts of home with a breathtaking view of the blue sea on which it sits.

DIY Using Rubber Feet

Our self-adhesive bumpers can be used on a variety of projects, from homemade picture frames to DIY kitchen cabinet protection.  So dust off the cobwebs from your Pinterest boards! You pinned that DIY project six months ago while daydreaming of warmer climates, and they’ve finally arrived.

Go outside and grab some inspiration from the blooming flowers for your springtime DIY craft. Luckily, the Bumper Specialties’ Pinterest boards have no shortage of ideas in which you can gain inspiration or build something of your own creation; whichever you choose, make sure you bring bumper feet with you.

There are DIY drink coaster projects on Pinterest that use clear rubber feet. This project in particular uses a stencil to imprint an image on the glass coaster. Their final but most important step is putting rubber feet on the underside of the tile!
Rubber feet on DIY coasters!
Rubber feet are the unsung heroes of these projects. You might not be able to see them, but affixing rubber pads on the corners of your coasters ensures the longevity of your handiwork. Bumpers are especially important for glass or ceramic coasters because they will not scratch, mar, stain, or otherwise ruin your tabletop. Try an inconspicuous clear hemispherical bumper like our BS-12 that will blend seamlessly with the aesthetic of the coaster.

Buzzfeed published a list of DIY ceramic coasters perfect for a spring afternoon project. We especially like #8, check out the cool watercolor effect you can achieve using markers. You can also use things you find around the house, like old doilies or a burlap bag.

Once you’ve completed your project, head to your patio and enjoy your coasters with a nice glass of lemonade and let the vitamin D - and the gratification of accomplishment - wash over you.

And the Oscar Goes To…Rubber Bumper Feet

This year at the Oscars, Jennifer Lawrence tripped, Brad Pitt ate a slice of pizza, and Ellen DeGeneres took a selfie that broke Twitter. However, amidst all the glitz and glamour, Bumper Specialties was only concerned with one thing: Are there non-slip rubber feet on those pretty gold Academy Award statues? Were our bumpers in the hands of (gasp!) Matthew McConaughey?

As the rich and famous bumped shoulders with their peers, we were thinking of our own bumpers. If our self adhesive protectors were indeed on Oscar, he would definitely have been voted Best Dressed based on his amazing accessories.


Some quick investigative work revealed these statistics about Oscar:

Height: 13.5” 
Weight: 8.5 lbs. 
Number of Awards Ever Presented: 2,809
Number of Rubber Feet: UNKNOWN (we’d suggest placing 4 rubber feet on the bottom of your award)

Clearly the Academy is unaware that without bumpers applied to Oscar, he could slip, slide, and crash into all of Meryl’s other awards. If the Academy did call us to outfit Oscar, we’d suggest our BS-40 rubber bumper because it is small, inconspicuous, and destined for the stage. The biggest snub of the evening was the supposed lack of bumper feet!

One bumper user that specializes in trophy and award production is SD Trophy in California. With a variety ranging from Artistic Glass Awards, Achievement Acrylic Awards, and Clear Optical Crystal Awards, they’ll provide you with top quality on any award application. 

Our rubber feet appear on the bottoms of trophies and awards for a non-slip grip on any surface. SD Trophy sells beautiful awards, so it is important to utilize rubber protectors to ensure both the award and the surface it’s displayed on are protected from scuffing or marring. 

More information can be found about applying bumper feet toglass artwork, but meanwhile, check out this gorgeous acrylic award by SD Trophy.

Cabin(et) Fever – Protect Your Cabinets Using Bumper Pads

Upon application, your cabinet doors will close quietly while being protected from marring or scratches. Available in clear, this bumper will be nearly invisible once applied.

Bumper Feet at the Sochi Olympics

We here at Bumper Specialties embrace the freezing temperatures and icicles that have made permanent residences on our building. And as avid lovers of all things winter, we are especially excited for the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. From ice skating to skiing, these games will not be short on excitement – or ice. And much to our delight, an application of our bumper feet has surfaced from a company who appears to love winter as much as we do: Ski Key.

Laptop Feet

Rubber feet on the bottom of your laptop are as important as the hard drive and monitor!  Well, maybe that is not so true, but they are critical and greatly contribute to your computer’s health.  When laptops run, they create heat.  To prevent them from overheating, rubber feet raise and elevate the laptop enough from the tabletop surface to allow an air flow.  Without bumpers, laptops can overheat, causing it to shut off automatically, freeze, and even damage your computer battery. 

Sometimes, the factory issued rubber feet on the bottom of laptops fall off.  Luckily, Bumper Specialties laptop replacement feet are easy to apply and stay secured.  Just peel them like a sticker, and place them on the bottom of your laptop, easy as that!  No screws or glue are required.  Replacing your laptop feet is easy!
People use our replacement rubber feet for some of the largest laptop manufactures in the world.  They are used for replacement on HP, Toshiba, Asus, Sony, and Dell laptop rubber feet.  Our most popular choices come from our cylindrical bumper line.  Our Hemispherical and Square rubber feet are popular options too.   

For Macbook Pro replacement feet, we manufacture a similar bumper to those that originally came on the Apple laptop.  Our BS-39 is similar to existing Mac book rubber feet.  They are easy to apply with our special self adhesive backing.  Here is a detailed video we found that shows how to replace feet on a Macbook.


As a manufacturer we sell our rubber feet in bulk, but we have smaller quantities available on our website with a single sheet option.  Bumper Specialties has authorized distributers throughout the world that can help you find your replacement laptop feet.


Bumper Specialties has a broad range of rubber feet, so you can be sure to find one that suites your laptop best!

Rubber Feet for Coasters

Rubber feet protect your coasters, and coasters protect your table tops!



coasters with rubber feet

Bumper Specialties bumperstops have many applications, including rubber feet for coasters.  This particular application is most popular with granite, glass, and ceramic coasters.  Our bumper stops strongly adhere to the bottom surface of the coaster to keep the coaster from slipping or sliding on the tabletop.  Additionally, since our rubber feet are 100% polyurethane, they will not damage, scuff, or stain your table tops.

Door Stops

Almost every door needs a door stop to protect against damaging the walls when opening.  Hinge doors and sliding doors alike both require a door stopper.  Bumper Specialties has designed the perfect solution to preventing wall damage from door knobs.



Hinge Doors


Our bumper, the BS-30, is a self adhesive door bumper that sticks to the wall behind the door where the door handles would make contact with the wall.  Without a door buffer in place, the door handles would scratch, crack, or damage the wall.
Some door stops are screwed into the floor to prevent the door from hitting.  Other door stops are screwed into the bottom corner of the door.  These methods both work, but they require extra hardware expense and time labor. Lastly, you can stub your toes on them!

Other door bumpers that mount on the wall require being screwed into a stud.  Our protective door stoppers are easy to apply, but still have a strong bond to the wall and are very secure.  Our most popular color is our clear door stops which blend into the wall.  We also carry black, brown, grey, and white door stoppers.

Sliding Doors


Sliding doors can crash into the door frame when they slide on their track.  This can damage and weaken the door frame.  Instead, try using a small door stop on the inside of the door frame to cushion the sliding door.

Try one of our door stops today and see the improvement in your walls, door frames, décor and comfort!

Drawer Bumper Pads

Rubber drawer pads protect hardware from wearing out and breaking caused by opening and closing.  Rubber Pads should be placed on the corners of the drawer to cushion the drawer when it closes.  This prevents abuse on the hardware and sliders.
bumper pads for drawers
Bumper pads protect drawers!



Without rubber drawer stops, your drawers can slam loudly.  Bumper pads protect drawer sliders and other hardware pieces.  Using cabinet drawer bumpers will prolong the life of drawer sliders and hardware.  Silence is golden, so try Bumper Specialties drawer pads to see the improvement in your drawers.

Bumper Stops for Large Projects or Small Inventors

Kickstarter facilitates inventors and entrepreneurs getting their products up and running.  They help entrepreneurs raise money to get their products to the market.  Kickstarter has raised hundreds of millions of dollars to fund thousands of creative projects. 

Our Bumper Specialties blog also supports inventive products that use our bumper stops.  We support start-up companies that come up with useful and innovative projects that may need bumper stops for extra protection.  We usually get involved when designers are putting the finishing touches on their products and need rubber feet for sound dampening or spacing.  When the Kickstarter project "The mPrinter" needed rubber feet to prevent sliding and skidding, they chose Bumper Specialties bumper stops.

The mPrinter is a small printer that uses thermal printing to produce small snippets of information, called “mPrints” from either WiFi or USB connection.  mPrinter can print just about anything—including HTML, text, pictures, or even “custom hosted” Java Script.

In addition to providing quality bumper stops to small start ups like mPrinter, Bumper Specialties manufactures millions rubber feet a day.  As a manufacturer of bumper stops, we can supply large companies’ high volume of rubber feet.  We make it simple for customers that have an increasing bumper demand and need to buy rubber feet in bulk.  Even with these large volume orders, we have short lead times and better logistic options because we manufacture on site.   This means our sales representatives can constantly communicate their customer’s needs with our plant managers almost instantly.  Bumper Specialties is ready to supply and help when a small invention grows into a popular product!

Cabinet Door Stops

Bumper Specialties: Industry Leader in Cabinet Door Protection

Cabinet door stops rank as one of Bumper Specialties most popular applications.  It’s amazing how certain sounds can make you cringe: your beeping alarm clock, a blaring car horn, and yes, the awful sound a cabinet makes when it slams shut!  Lucky for you, we have engineered the best sound dampening cabinet door stops in the industry.  Our bumper stoppers are designed with a softer durometer than the rest of our standard line to help cushion the door close. This provides our customers with a silent close and not that rattling smack!

You can find our door bumpers on kitchen cabinets or bathroom cabinets.  Some cabinets use screw in bumpers or threaded plastic feet, but they have higher labor and machinery costs.  Instead, our door stops are easy to apply, just peel of the back and stick on the inside corner of the cabinet to buffer the door from the cabinet frame—it will strongly adhere to the door with no extra work for you.  Furthermore, Bumper Specialties uses 100% polyurethane to make our rubber cabinet door stops, which is a higher quality compared to cork stops or foam pads.  Try our cabinet bumpers and hear the difference in your home too!
