So a few weeks ago, TIPB was giving away free bumpers. I thought, what the hell, I'll give it a shot.

Well' my free orange just came in the mail. And, let me tell you, what a piece of crap! I am so glad this came free and i did not waste $30 on it cuz i would have been pissed!

These is no way these cost $30 to make. I'd say pennies if that. Junk, pure junk.

Are you SERIOUSLY complaining about something that was free? What is wrong with the pathetic self entitled snobs in this world today?

No, jack wad, I'm not complaining it was free. I'm explaining in my opinion that it's not worth $30.

You know, I read the forums if I have questions or whatnot and rarely post anything because of the a$$wipes like you. If someone has a different opinion, attack attack attack! BS

And yes, I have the envelope still. I will post pics. Who would lie about something as that? Oh right, self righteous egotistical snobs who want something for nothing. That's right.
 
I got mine too. I ended up with a "clear" one.

It's cool to get a free case but I agree that it is total junk.

It's nowhere close to the quality of the apple bumper. The buttons are just about unusable. And it's not very straight. It's no wonder they gave them away for free.

Not to mention the clear version is super ugly.

If they are selling these things for anything over a $1 they are robbing you.

If you like that style case you are probably not going to beat the apple bumper, its worth taking a look at if you haven't seen one.

Looks like I might be away with 4 free cases for the iPhone 4

One from TIPB, one from squaretrade, my bumper refund, and we will see if apple sends me the one I picked out from the free case app.

Also I really don't like the way they run the TIPB store. They really pimp the stereo Bluetooth headsets and in the descriptions they go on and on about how you can fully control your music from the headset, this is false.

If they were iPhone accessory specialists they would mention the fact that the skip tracks function does not work with current or past versions of iOS. (come on 4.1!!)
