Agreed!

For all the hoopla about this phone being such a design revolution, it should be able to function without a bumper, case, etc. I currently don't have a case on my 3G and don't plan on getting one.

Make a phone that works! Not a phone that works with an accessory, I don't care if the accessory is free or not.

I like my phones without a case, now they're saying you need a case for the iPhone to work as it should.
 
I already have a case on my iphone 4 but ill take a free one!!

who would people not at least on bumper on this phone....too nice to mess up...THINK PEOPLE!!!
 
Even with Jobs comparing this phone to other phones with signal issues, did they drop calls as soon as you touched the "X marks the spot?" I don't think so. I'm disappointed and I do not think Steve Jobs answered the right questions.

If your phone drops the call as soon as you touch the spot, then you should go back to the retailer or online store you purchased it from and seek a replacement or return.

He's answered the right questions, you just don't like his answers. If your experience is outside the average then you should seek a remedy. The choice of remedy (replacement or return) is yours.
 
Already have a case. Bumper doesn't do crap for me. And, why sept 30 cutoff date? Update iPhone around that time?

I wonder what the other cases offered will be, hopefully good ones! Not no-name brands that are cheaper :(
 
My phone works perfectly fine with the bumper on. Glad to see I can get a refund for it and that Apple is giving out free cases.
 
This is awesome!

Must suck to be a case manufacture right now. Business with take a hit for sure. I for one will be getting a bumper. :)
 
How can someone complain about something that is free? :confused:

Because i want my phone to work without a piece of rubber on the side of it ya know like its supposed to :rolleyes:

Anyone that finds this acceptable is brainwashed.

These posts sure are getting old..

This is Apple's product.

If you don't like it, return it.

But, you won't. The iPhone is a great phone.

"Yeah yeah I shouldn't have to return it or put a case on it IT SHOULD JUST WORK"

Well, guess what. In your opinion it doesn't. It also doesn't perform to your expectations. You can whine some more about it, or return it like you would with any other product you were not satisfied with.
 
I wonder if the Speck cases will be on the list of "sourced" cases. Either way, I'm after a purple CandyShell.
