I have the belkin Grip Vue and hate it. Do you think I should wait for apples free case or just buy one I want? Pretty much do you think apple will offer anything that offers protection or just cheap bumper knockoffs? I dont think I will have use for 2 cases (not including the BGV that I will throw away).
 
well we don't know what cases they will provide but jobs did say any bumpers bought will get a full refund...... I assume this is just done via proof of purchase in store or via email or a online form with a scanned reciept..... best advice just wait it out till next week to see what they have up for offer.

They are not going to be offering cheap bumper knockoffs... you will get an official Apple bumper case. They have already had a bad launch with the phone they will not be disappointing customers again with some POS knockoff bumper. Besides it cost apple somewhere between $1 and $2 to make the bumper so its not that big of a loss for them to give you something legit.
 
Umm?!?!?!

what do you mean they had a bad launch with the iPhone 4? they sold 3 million in the first 3 weeks and people knew about the problems from before the first day
 
So here is my quesiton...i will be taking back my griffen reveal, but thne will definetely need to get a screen shield of my own... what do you reccommend? Or should I wait and see if any of the 3rd party cases come wite a shield of their own?

so what exactly separates an apple bumper from a pos knockoff?
