Come on Apple so you say their was a flaw and the fix is to use your bumper but then only gave the bumper out for a shot time. So me who buys the phone after you stopped giving them away for free is **** out of luck. I mean what if I really was having problems I still couldn't get a free bumper what a ****** answer in my opinion. As to the law suite number of articals site that we will be given an option to get a free bumper but when you go to the claim website they direct you to an Apple web page that is from April 2011 and that page just directs you to call Apple. So I call Apple and they told me there was nothing they could do even talked to a supervisor. I was really just hoping to get a free bumper because my case is falling apart guess I will have to suck it up and not be cheap and buy a new case. To bad I really thought this time I could get a free bumper.
 
I'm sure Apple settled to be done with it and move on.

What a waste of a class action lawsuit.

1.There was never anything wrong with the antenna.
2. Gizmodo fabricated the story to get back at Apple, knowing full well they could take advantage of the "bars dropping" illusion that occurs if you hold any GSM phone a particular way, and the coincidence of poor AT&T service in certain areas.
3. Typical internet whiners bought it hook line and sinker and added their "voice" to problem, creating further illusion that there were millions of people with defective antennas.

The whole thing was a fantasy, and if Gizmodo had never lied and created that video blog post, like I said, to punish Apple for taking legal action against their previous criminal activity, there never would have been anything.

You are wrong. I am one person that had problems with my iPhone. It was replaced 3 times by Verizon in the first 6 weeks, and then I gave up and got a Droid. I didn't know anything about a bumper, but I had a silicone case on it I bought with it. First I had a white iPhone 4, and it continually turned itself off during the night (we don't have a home phone, so I want it on all the time). I had to restart it EVERY morning. So they replaced it with a new one and it did the same thing. The engineers also checked everything in our area and said we are in a weak signal area, however, none of the other 3 cell phones in our house did this. The 2nd white phone did the same thing, so they told me Apple had "issues" with the white phones, and replaced it with a black one. Within a week, I returned it as well because it did the same thing.

I didn't know about the lawsuit until I received an email last night that I was part of a class action suit. It did not say anything about not applying to Verizon phones.
 
Good luck to anyone trying to get a free bumper. I called my local apple store to get a bumper, they forwarded me to Apple Care which told me to call my local Apple Store. Told the guy the Apple Store forwarded me to you, he actually had to get a senior advisor.

Long story short, I got a bumper, but wasn't really worth the hassle.
