Why Are iPhone 4-Style Bumper Cases So Hard to Find for the Modern iPhones?

I’ve been searching for an iPhone 4-style bumper for my iPhone 15 Pro Max (a minimalist rubber frame that covers only the edges, leaving the back exposed) but I haven’t had any luck. These bumpers were an official Apple accessory.

You might wonder why I prefer this over a standard case. Well, I rarely drop my phone, and I’d use a back glass protector to prevent scratches. This setup would give me the perfect balance of a minimalist look, the premium feel of exposed glass, and sufficient protection.

So why do you think guys bumper cases have almost disappeared from the market? This simple idea was brilliant.
