Has anyone gone to the Apple Store today and gotten a refund for their bumper?

[WilliamG]

they said in the press conference that you can choose from their bumpers, or any other case from other vendors, im sure its gonna have to be equal or lesser value of a bumper, and the incase sliders should be equal or lesser value.

That was never said at all, for those about to spread this misinformation. We don't know at all what cases will be offered.

what if you ordered online and had to pay the $4 shipping, i wonder if that gets refunded, and plus there is tax...

 

[Mosco]

My receipt is also long gone ... how can I get reimbursed???

Maybe they will tie to your iphone serial number or something.

 

[renewed]

Wait.... if you hadn't returned it yesterday, wouldn't you still get 30.00 cash PLUS keep the 30.00 bumper?

He's a Jul 2010 we need to be patient with 'em.

For anyone getting a refund, what are you all planning to do with the $30+ store credit?

I am no longer considering getting a 2GB iPod shuffle at half price or another bumper.

I think I may just get $30 worth of iTunes gift cards and use it to buy games, movies, and TV shows for my iPhone 4.

What are your plans once you get your refund?

I might get an iTunes GC or the AV Cables for the tv

^ is it confirmed you will be only getting store credit?

i was thinking I would get my money back

Refund means just that. Starting late next week you will be able to initiate a refund for your bumper.

 

[bholaladka]

hopefully it will be a good learning lesson in life for you that you should keep your receipts.

they can probably look up in their system if you have an APPLE ID

I'm not sure, but if they do hand out store credits those are my options.

Had Apple not offered a full refund, I would have been ticked that whiners got something free that some of us already paid for. Reminds me of the fans complaining about Apple dropping the price of the 2G iPhone by $200 about 70 days after launch.

But Apple played fair to bumper owners.

I returned mine a few days ago but hats because it offers no protection and scratched/marked my phone pretty bad

How does a plastic/rubber case scratch a glass phone??? Just curious.

"We're going to send you a free case. We can't make enough bumpers. No way we can make enough in the quarter. So we're going to source some cases and give you a choice."

They said they will start it late next week...

I love your guys' selective hearing

The bumper scratches the metal band like CRAZY. Don't ask me how, it just does.

yaya

the main reason i was thinking they may have incase is because i noticed my local apple store carries tons of incase stuff

In case you weren't listening or reading correctly, they said SELECT cases from SELECT vendors.

Shipping is non-refundable since FedEx or the post office still had to deliver it. You can get your shipping fee from FedEx or the post office.

As far as tax goes, that wiould probably be refunded as well

Which is once again why I'm trying to decide if I should return my case, and take advantage of the free case from apple, or if I should take the refund and use that money to buy the case I want, and just eat the bumper as a loss.

It's a decent case, but I want better protection than it offers.

incase sliders are 34.99 retail which is higher than the $29 bumpers. those are just facts, i guess we can all make our own assumptions until they release the "select" cases
