There was this guy that stood in front of me waiting to buy a bumper just like me. We talked about our new iPhones a bit and how we loved it. He got his yesterday via Apple pre-order. On the 15th, he tried to pre-order at 2am. Everytime, he would get a little closer and a closer before another error. Then bam! At 4pm, he got through.
Moral of the story - Be persistent. No excuses. It took him about 14 hours of his life and got rewarded a day earlier. He didn't give up. Ironic I say this because I also saw The Karate Kid at AMC after I bought my bumper. Jaden Smith's character didn't give up at the end either even with a bad leg.
I'm sorry to hear about it, but the key is to pre-order. The early bird does catch the worm. Life isn't fair either. You win some, you lose some.
As for my experience, I had a great one today. But yes, I have failed at launch too. C'est la vie. Live to fight another day.
