Refund AND a free case

to those who bought an iPhone 4 bumper case have you receive your refund already?

I got the email yet I haven't seen the money in the bank so far.

Yes, got the money in the bank, AND I was also able to order a new case from Apple, for free! (And I actually sold the bumper to a private party for $40, 3 days after I bought it)

And Speck is sending me a free replacement Candyshell because of the Flash issue.

The free HD case from Speck through Apple ships on September 23red however. The only problem I see is yes, Apple is giving you a free case, but if you have nothing else, you get bad reception and no protection for the first 2 months of use.

Still, I've come out really well. :cool:

addendum: With the case, of course, I can't get the "dropping bars", but I DO frequently get calls that just drop out, no "Call failed", and I think it is the proximity sensor. I know Steve said they are aware of the proximity sensor problems, which I hope stops the dropped calls. I also get where suddenly my phone is trying to do a Facetime call, when the phone is held to my face (maybe that's why they gave it the name "Facetime"). :) The problem is mostly when I use the "shoulder prop" when calling. Never had this problem with iPhones 1, 2 or 3. I trust Apple will fix this.
 
Apple Starts Shipping in Japan

Good news, everyone!
Apparently, Apple started shipping Bumpers in Japan too.
I got my shipping notification from Apple today.:D

I just got my notification in Japan too!

I haven't had any signal problems or dropped calls, but I've only been tested it within the Tokyo Metropolitan Area (lots of cell towers for a small area). I also can't complain about a free bumper!
 
So let me get this straight. Those who have working phones despise those who complain theirs don't. Those whose phones don't work are celebrating the fact that the manufacturer is shipping some peripheral device that will allow the device they've already paid for to work. Mmm...the times we live in...
 
I just got my shipment notification from Apple.

They ended up shipping my bumper nearly a month earlier than the original notification stated. The original estimated ship date was August 27th.
 
I got my order confirmation but it certainly isn't shipping!

"We estimate your order to be shipped by 30 Aug, 2010.
We expect your order will arrive by post to your shipping address on or before 01 Sep, 2010."

LONG

I just got my free bumper ordered from the Case Program in Japan. Just speculation, but I'm guessing because there's very few Apple Stores in Japan, they had the bumpers sitting around waiting to be shipped. Meanwhile it sounds like in the US they were on sale, and sold out.
 
I thought Apple extended it to 30Days for UK also ?

Apple are quite happy for you to return your handset for a refund as stated on their website. However there is no mention of your network contract. Which according to Vodafone I am still locked onto even if I choose to return my handset to the applestore where I bought it.
 
Southern California here. Just got my shipment notification for my Bumoer a few minutes ago
 
Shipped.

Just got shipping notification on mine in the US. Supposed to be here on August 4th. Much better than the original September 1st arrival date!
 
I bought my bumper case from o2 online and I followed the information by apple and completed a rebate form online and sent off all the details that I had. This was back at the start of August, and the status online has been this ever since

"Thank you. Your record has been located. Details below:-

Your claim is in progress and we are trying to contact you to help confirm some of the details."

I've not had any contact from anyone, and can't find a contact number to call?

Anyone successfully claimed a rebate on an o2 Online purchase?
