I got my refund for my bumper today and ordered the free case a couple of days ago... Does this mean I will not get my case?

I'll make it easy to understand. Yes. You will get your case, just like the rest of us thieving, moral lacking degenerates.
 
I got my case today, got my refund last week.

Lets face it, Apple had no problem thieving from us when they decided to charge £25 for a piece of rubber and plastic.
 
what do I do about my bumper i received today now that i am returning my phone... i've decided to get a sim free so will have to get my iphone through apple rather than o2

do i phone apple and get them to send me a return envelope or keep it for my new iphone, when i get it?
 
One of the following will happen:

Apple will cancel you order
-or-
Apple will ship your order without billing you.
-or-
Apple will ship your order AND bill you for the case.

Though I think it unlikely you will be billed, if only because Apple wants to avoid another media circus.

OR - people will do the right thing and call up to cancel the order.

That's what I'm going to do! Who's with me?

How much will it cost you to call Apple to do that?

I'm sorry but if Apple want their case back they can call me. I'm not waiting 20 mins at 20p a minute just to return my bumper.

Didn't cost me anything. But even if it did, sometimes doing the right thing is inconvenient, and sometimes there's a cost for telling the truth.

Called and cancelled the order. I asked why they were letting people get away with this. Rep said she didn't know, maybe the system will go through and automatically start canceling orders.

Bro, you've really wasted a lot of life minutes fighting this cause, and it's a useless one. Give up bro, you're worrying about a piece of colored plastic, think about how silly that sounds. ;)

You actually called Apple to tell them to cancel the order that you have attempted to stop others from placing by making this thread? So you admitted you attempted to steal a case and then called to cancel it and ratted out all those other thieves and now you want Apple and God to forgive you, huh? You aren't telling any truths so don't kid yourself.

Stool pigeon.

Oh, and the system isn't automatically going to cancel anything but it is going to automatically work as it is designed - without a Dog the Bounty Hunter feature.
 
You mistake me for somebody that cares. I made a point and I proved it. Nothing but satisfaction comes to my mind while reading your reply.

You and the OP have mistaken everyone at this forum thinking we give a damn about your morals. Enough with this "who's with me crap." Nobody in their right mind is going to willingly give money away for no reason, and 99.98 percent of us will take the free case(s) with arms wide open.

No, I placed the order for the free case until I was sure that the refund would go through for the bumper that I bought at the Apple store.

So you admit then that anyone else double dipping is a thief? You words, not mine. And yes, I pointed out a flaw in their system - don't see anything wrong with that! If there was a flaw in the system that was keeping me from getting something that was due to me, I'd point that out too.

Love the Dog!! Well, except for his racist rants, but that's another thing...

The law of Karma is seven-fold. So by your $30 gain here, you're going to lose $210 somewhere on something in the near future. When that happens, let us know, and don't try to pretend it's not related.

When I said thieves I was using your logic, which is still clearly flawed.

I love how you ordered a second case just in case the refund didn't go through. What really happened is that gehrbox posted the revision to the terms and conditions, you turned into a scared little stool pigeon and called up Apple to look like a good samaritan when in reality you would have let the second case ship if Apple didn't clearly state it's not accepting two orders for one iPhone.

Blah blah blah

Ah. I recognize the tactics. First the back-pedaling. Then, when defeated on the issue, attack the opponent. Not gonna work!

Karma points and kudos to you, my friend!

I wish I had ordered a second free bumper instead of the incase then I would post a pic of it too just to prove to you that I am the devil incarnate.

Unless it shipped, I'm sure they can change it for you.
 
The thing is the bumpers became basically free for this time period. So yes they can get a refund and a free case. Apple said due to the iPhone's antenna problems we will be refunding all bumpers and offering free cases. Not quote exactly but they didn't say one or the other.

It's the same thing as if I had bought 4 bumpers and got my money back and kept the bumpers.
 
Apple is just letting people get redemption for those who were dumb enough to spend $30 on a bumper.

Well good for you. Here in the UK its 20p minute. Ive put enough dough in their pockets am not putting any more.
 
HA!!! You think getting a refund and a free case is morally wrong then your about to have a field day.

If you get your iPhone 4 replaced and then relaunch the free case programme and sign in with your Apple ID then u get an option to order another free case as its a different serial number.

Ive now got one free black bumper (£25 refunded), free case (HD pixel speck) and now another option to get another free case.

Any suggestions on which free case to get this time?:D
 
I got my free bumper and a refund yesterday, I didn't realise that Apple would have refunded me for a Store purchase, I thought it only applies to Online Orders.

Nonetheless, 2 Free bumpers, which cost £1 to make, maximum. Don't be silly, it's not unethical or whatever, I didn't know and Apple won't give a rats ass.
