I just spoke with an apple representative for over an hour and we talked about literally everything: tv shows, netflix, games, iPhones, apple stores, and I still didn't get a free case
This is why the wait time to get to a rep is over 1 hr...

lol
I didn't get a free case but I did get a free jambox mini for being first in line at my local Verizon store. Pretty awesome. Price tag said $179.00.
it was by far the most casual yet enjoyable conversation with an employee I've ever had. It went on forever and we just talked about everything, the woman I spoke with was so open and giggly it was great
All you have to do is call them and tell them that you were talking to someone earlier about your order not being delivered on time, and they offered you a free case but you were disconnected, they're gonna be like ok what's your name and address bla bla bla, and your free case will be delivered for you in a week!!!
p.s. I was on hold for 40+ min so this is normal keep waiting.

Unbelievable!
The online Store didn't work for me to order an off contract T-Mobile 6+ for almost 12 hours. When I finally ordered it was 3-4 weeks.
I was upset, but won't lie or cry for a case.
Worked like a charm. I'm sure a lot of people are going to be flaming me for being immoral though.
(And some of them secretly trying my method
I'm trying as well
IM having to jump through so many hoops to get this case lol its bad cause i'm just gonna get an otterbox but i want this case cause everyone else is getting it free
Lmao I got the case and they guy got pissed off at me. the story i used was they offer me a free case but the call dropped. He was like i can't give you the case because i don't see any notes here for it. I told him it's not my fault they didn't put their notes in.and i fell like he was calling me a lair.So he put me on hold and came back on and took my info and send he was getting taken care of and it can take up to a day for it to get approved.

I bought an iPhone 6+ and a macbook pro and the total was almost $3000 I think I deserve a free case
running a small company is very diificult no doubt but is no where near on par with apple, not even in the same stratosphere
apple most likely has cases made in china for $1 give or take - so, if someone wants to take the time + effort to call and ask and most importantly, apple has no problem with it then it's not a big deal nor trashy - i would bet it actually helps the margins go UP as it makes people happy, happy customers stay loyal and will traditionally stay with a company and continue to spend more - there is no way that apple reps would be ever allowed to send out cases if it would hurt the profit margins in any way, apple needs wall street and wall street needs apple.....co dependency big time!
i can totally understand though how running a small business it could be quite frustrating and costly - i know what you mean about the entitlement attitude - reading your story, made me want to pour sauce over her head! i am a huge supporter of small businesses and go out of my way to shop locally, even when i know it's less on amazon! i hope to have one myself one day sooner than later but it's pretty scary and dealing with people like crazy sauce lady would make me crazy!
The one for iPhone 6 is already being shipped, and scheduled to arrive next Monday. Sweet!
I had a delivery date of 9/19 all week, but then it changed at around 1pm (on 9/18) to 9/22
she said for the inconvenience, I'd like to offer you a free case of your choice.
I just told her I was disappointed that i didn't receive it on launch day
/:
Tried this, but got denied.
Was told that because i didn't order from Apple.com (I ordered from sprint.com), she couldn't do it because the case had to be attached to an order. Not sure if this is true....
After I told her the story, I got, "Ok, can I have your order number?"
All of you that have gotten the case, did you order from the apple site?
Just tried to say that my cases did not arrive with my order, after complaining that AppleCare was not added and got nothing for free
I got a free case since my order got delayed even though all week the delivery date was 9/19. She was very friendly but accidentally ordered the 6+ case. When I called back today and waited almost exactly one hour on hold the rep said they were no longer doing free cases and she needed supervisor approval just to change from the 6+ to the 6. Sounds like macrumors has hounded them for free cases all night!!!
