Just checked the post this morning and my black bumper was there! I'm from the UK.

Pretty quick.

Is it in the original retail packaging or something else?

Yeah, it's just the same as before, but obviously free using the app.

Someone in another thread mentioned that their Walmart had the bumpers in black and white, I wonder if one could exchange the free black on for a white one there.

It was a pleasant surprise!

I would never have bought one but i actually really like it now - it may stay on. The phone feels nicer in the hand.

Yep you can do returns/exchanges at Wal-Mart even without the receipt so they'd do it without a problem

You may not have to wait until September. My date was originally Sept. But it shipped yesterday with an August 3rd arrival.

I'm just wondering whether you got a 31 Aug shipping estimate (as I did) and then got your bumpers earlier? Or did you receive a proper estimate?

And if you received an exaggerated shipping estimate, were you contacted before it was shipped?

Thanks in advance

Did you all order bumpers?

I think the people who got anything else will have late shipping. It makes sense that bumper orders would be sent now since Apple pulled them from retail stores and online right after the press conference.

For those of you in the UK, (which appears to everyone that has received theirs so far) was it delivered by standard Royal Mail delivery?

My estimated delivery was today so it would be a nice surprise for it to show up given that I was expecting 3-6 weeks..

Mine arrived too, it looks great! So glossy and shiny and doesn't make me miss the metal strips! Also gives a bit of protection!

Received mine. Its very nice but not worth the original asking price. I was expecting it to be more raised around the edges and not so flush to the screen and back. I still wouldnt want to place my iphone on a flat surface with this bumper case on. I'll use it from time to time in the house but plan to still use my silicone or leather flip case when I take the phone out.
