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.
Kickstarter facilitates inventors

their products to the market. Kickstarter

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.
The mPrinter uses Bumper Specialties rubber feet
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

The world is abuzz with the new update to the iPhone and iPad operating system. Not only has
Apple redesigned iOS7, they updated iTunes with the iRadio feature that
introduces a streaming service like Pandora. If you plan on using Apple’s new music
service, you should try listening to it with Schuttenworks wooden acoustic docks for iPhones.
Schuttenworks creates handcrafted wooden accessories,
stands, and docks for the several different Apple products. Schuttenworks chooses Bumper Specialties
rubber feet to use on the bottom of their docks to minimize sound vibration and
to keep the dock in place to prevent sliding on surfaces. These docks give an earthy look to the
commonly sterile looking charging stand.
They also amplify the sound of the built in iPhone speakers without
using any extra power. Just like Bumper Specialties
rubber feet, these stands are proudly Made in the USA.
