OP, with all due respect I'm pretty sure you beat this horse enough in this thread:

Which ended with you yelling such niceties as:
I get where you're coming from, it is unfair that some people are getting a kick down and others aren't but the reason the bumpers were being offered was for a potential fix -- you have case, therefore you have the potential fix! At this point, I'd just let it go and watch the ensuing poop-storm
Apparently not yet!

That was from Saturday before I got my purchased bumper in the mail. Cool detective work though, you should work for the police. At this point I don't need a bumper. My problem is solved.
I think it was just a poor business decision on Apple's part for giving bumpers out selectively.
Also, thanks for quoting me out of context to make me look like a tool. Somebody previously misread one of my posts and flamed me so I flamed back. Thanks for being such a swell guy.
To be honest, you didn't need any help looking like a tool. You made a thread to whine about not getting a free case. Did you think it would go over well?
soooo, if you think 'ANYBODY" isnt "ENTITLED" to "ANYTHING" for free from apple, why would you "be on phone so fast for a refund" or "return yours to store?"

Because, at the very least, everybody should be offered the same thing...Either something or NOTHING.
I called once to try and get a free bumper, and this is honestly what went down:
I told the rep I had been hearing on message boards that many people have received free bumpers from Apple.
The Reps response:
Well sir, you have to consider the source. I could go on the internet and say that I saw Bigfoot, but that wouldn't be true now would it?
No joke, thats what he said.

I like that. Truth be told, I think a lot of what we read here needs to be discounted for its lack of credibility.
yah its horrible that i try to save 30 bucks on something i shouldnt buy. i really dont care
Only if you can't read...
If I have to pay for a bumper, and they are giving them away for free to anybody who asks, for sure I will return the bumper I paid for and expect a free bumper just like everybody else got.
Quit trying to parse everything people say. My statement is very consistent.
If everybody else is getting something for free...whether I feel that Apple owes anybody anything...then I might as well get the same deal. Period.
no sir, you are not consistant. You said nobody deserves anything for free from apple, but then mention how you're going to throw a pissy fit about your bumpers if yours arent free.
EDIT: (PERIOD!)

The only pissy fit here is yours, shorty.
nope, just pointing the obvious
Whatever makes you feel better about yourself, shorty.
Not saying you are, but I am beginning to think that there are some fake complainers. They want some compensation, i.e. money. The original poster said that he already bought a case and would like some green. I am guessing that there are some who just want to take an opportunity to scam Apple. Don't most people buy a case anyways? It has only been two business day and two weekend days. Not sure how long it takes some engineers to figure out the problem. Is it hardware issue or software issue or both? Not sure how what start this. Otherwise, it may just be a non - issue. It has been overblown for sure. I have heard that some folks reception have gotten better, ie. Jimmy Fallen.
even more funny! That one went over your head. lol, im truly glad its working out for ya bud, have a good one
You really are quite obsessed with me, bro. I'm sorry...I'm really not into dudes.
I had already ordered one and was told to simply return it when it arrived!
