Just use a little bit of luminance (to create a bit of extra ambient
lighting) and a specular of about 10%, maybe 20%, set on LOW.

You won't see any bumps, but it looks fine if you stay far enough away. The
only time you should really use bumps, is when you are close enough that the
bumps on the plastic are bigger than your pixels. Otherwise the low specular
setting should do it.

Just my $0.05.
