Apple's Free Bumper Program is lagging!

So I got my iPhone 4 a few days ago, and yesterday I downloaded the free bumper program app. However, when I received my confirmation e-mail it said it is estimated to ship by August 27 and deliver by Sept 1. Did anyone else get a different date?

It probably takes a while to manufacture and distribute a few million of them.
Typically, Apple products ship before the promised date so have hope!

  • Free Bumper program ending Sept. 30th

    Hi all,
    just ordered my iPhone 4G yesterday and just wanted to check in on the "Free Bumper" program.
    In the conditions to the program Apple stated that the program ends for iPhone ordered by Sept. 30th.
    My iPhone is bound to be shipped only by mid of October - anybody aware if I still can apply for a free bumper by then?
    Thanks
    Thomas

    http://www.apple.com/iphone/case-program/ has the info you need.

  • 30 pin connectors doesn't fit the Apple iPhone free bumper

    Well finally I got the free bumper; great it feels so good and really protects the phone... however non of my non-Apple 30 pin cables work with this bumper installed. Do you know if Apple has a 30 pin M-F adapter that I can buy to resolve this problem? Thanks.

    No, but you can use the new cables...what an idea...
    Dear me, that would be nice. Except that my iPhone4 came with a single cable, and I keep a cable in my car, my kitchen, my bedroom, my home office, and my suitcase, plus one at my work office.
    So the options are to carry around a single cable all the time, which is massively inconvenient, or spend $30 each on Apple-branded cables (sending the current cables to the landfill), or to constantly take the case on and off, cursing Apple each time I do so for changing the specs on the cases by an unnecessary millimeter.
    More people seem to be choosing to take a drill/file to the case and expand the port a bit.

  • Apple Offer Free Bumper

    Hi all
    Steve Job offers FREE BUMPER($1.00 cost for them)/$30.00 cost for us, now for free.
    I call them today, they say come back to website sometime next week to file out FORM, then they will ship out free bumper. For whom who already buy a bumper will get their refund and have to fill the form too.
    Anyway, it's CHEAP SOLUTION:))

    If you're not happy with what Apple is offering Hopsing, you can always return your phone within 30 days.

  • When I open about this mac - more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth). Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desk-downloads)

    When I open about this mac -> more info and I switch through the tabs (display,memory,storage,support,service) it lags (fps drops, animation looks choppy not smooth) even though all the mac (programs , interface ) works smooth . Why does this happen? (over 300 gb free,same programs installed,free desktop-downloads -no garbage there- everything neat and tidy.) Need some help. Only there it the animations goes like 2 fps and is not smooth. I do not understand why because the programs are the same so its the usage. Nothing is changed, yet i experience this little issue for a couple of days.

    OK, I'm confused. When I do About this Mac > More Info in OS10.9, I don't see any animation other than the window resizing. Is that the animation you are describing?
    Which if any of the following apply to your computer:
    1) Are you running any anti-virus/internet security applications?
    2) Are you running any "cleaning/tune-up/optimizations" applications?
    3) Any peer-to-peer or torrent downloading software?
    4) Any third-party disk backup software that came bundled with an external hard drive?
    5) Any online backup scheme other than iCloud (Carbonite; GoogleDrive; MS One Drive)?
    6) Did your financial institution ask you to install Trusteer EndPoint Protection (also known as Trusteer Rapport)?

    If you registered your computer after June 11th, you were entitled to a free upgrade to Mountain Lion. See http://www.apple.com/osx/uptodate/.
    If you went ahead an purchased ML before recieving your redemption code then you're just out $20. Not a big deal - you should have been instructed on how to get a redemption code for the OS X update.

  • Is anyone else having trouble tracking their free bumper shipment?

    For some reason, I am having the worst time trying to track my free bumper shipment. I got the shipment confirmation e-mail from Apple on 7/30 with an estimated delivery date of 8/6. For the first two days, I got no information when I clicked on the DHL or USPS tracking numbers. Then, on about 8/2, it finally updated to MANIFESTED on 7/30 in Millington, TN. It has since been updating about 24-48 hrs behind, and the estimated delivery date is now 8/9!
    Anyway, now it looks like it's saying it left the Atlanta, GA area on 8/4. I figured I'd get it today since I live in the panhandle of FL 10 miles south of the GA border (about a 4.5 hr drive from Atlanta).
    Out of curiosity, I called DHL this morning. They said it was handed over to the USPS this morning, and I should get in midweek next week! The rep didn't really seem to care when I told her that on-line it says it was a 5 hr ride away, but I had called because the on-line tracking was updating 24-48 hrs behind. So, I didn't want to start anything - I just figured I'd call the USPS! Their automated system says they have no record of the package...ok...so I dialed "0" to speak to a rep, and it told me that "our automated tracking system is up to date, so the option of speaking to a rep is not available at this time!" WHAT?!?!? The USPS tracking website is even more behind the DHL site, but at least there is a record of it there! Here's what I have:
    DHL
    08/04/2010 06:46:00 INTRANSIT FOREST PARK, GA
    08/03/2010 14:20:00 INTRANSIT FOREST PARK, GA
    07/31/2010 14:09:00 SHIPMENT PICKED UP MILLINGTON, TN
    07/30/2010 00:00:00 MANIFESTED Millington, TN
    USPS
    Service(s): Delivery Confirmation™
    Status: Arrived Shipping Partner Facility
    Your item arrived at a shipping partner facility at 2:20 pm on August 03, 2010 in FOREST PARK, GA 30297. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
    To me, it looks like the information infers that the package was handed off to USPS on 8/3!
    Anybody else with this problem? For anyone who has already received their free bumper, how long did it take after the shipping e-mail from Apple for it to arrive?
    Any advice on how to actually speak to someone at the USPS?

    sooo yeah, basically you're reallly impatient and are furious because there may, or may not, be a delay in your free case, even though it's still a day before the 'estimated' delivery date? hrmmmmm
    I would say frustrated, not furious, but impatient, no. I ordered a case before the free case program about a month ago and THAT still hasn't shipped, lol! I already took one business trip with the phone and dropped it quite a few times (lol) and didn't even really get frustrated, but I am about to take another business trip that I leave for on Sunday, so I was beyond thrilled that my bumper was shipping early and scheduled right before I left for my next trip.
    With that said, I am frustrated at the fact that I can't even track my package accurately from not only 1, but 2 entities, lol! I simply called, not because I was impatient, but because I had already been patient for the past week of beyond slow online updates and only when I had seen that it was so close to home a few days ago. So, yes, I can see how it appeared that I was impatient by calling, but at the rate things were updating on-line, I wouldn't know if there was a problem that maybe I could call their attention to until after I left for my trip.
    So, again, I'm just frustrated at the disparity and even complete non-functioning (USPS telephone) of the tracking systems and was wondering if there was any way I could get in touch with a USPS rep. I wasn't frustrated at all prior to this morning. I was extatic, actually! Not even frustrated about it possibly coming late, just that nothing can definitively tell me if that is the case right now, lol!

  • Free Bumper, UK residents?

    Hi,
    The only way to register for your free iphone 4 bumper at the moment is on apple.com (iphone 4 caseprogram), can UK residents register for the free bumper on here or do we have to wait for the iphone 4 case program to appear on apple/uk?
    Cheers

    If you can't find the app, open apple.com on your iPhone and click on the link for the app

  • Need help with Free case program in Canada

    hi, I just recently brought 2 iPhones unlocked from Canadian apple store
    I do have apple ID but my billing is in Thailand, not Canada, so when I logged on to app store(Thailand), i could NOT find the free case App. Unless I signed out and search, i would find them in Canadian app store.
    I'm student and I do not have any Credit card in Canada
    Is there another way to get the free case? What should I do?

    From what I understand (as a retailer) the program in Canada will be the same as the U.S.
    iPhone 4 Bumper Program
    If you have already purchased an iPhone 4 without a case, or will purchase an iPhone 4 next week in Canada, you will use the newly released application
    to claim the free iPhone 4 case. The claim your case, follow the process below:
    1.) Download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from the App Store (not available in Canada yet).
    2.) Launch the app on your iPhone 4. Sign in using your iTunes/Apple ID.
    3.) Select your case.
    Notes:
    * For iPhone 4 purchases made before July 23, 2010, customers must apply to the program no later than August 22, 2010; otherwise, customers can apply within 30 days of their iPhone 4 purchase.
    * To qualify for the case program, customer must have purchased their iPhone 4 by September 30, 2010.

  • Possible to exchange the free bumper/case?

    I'm receiving a Griffin Etch ($30 value) from the free bumper/case program. My question is if it is possible to take this, along with the receipt, into an Apple store and exchange it for a case of the same or lower value? I'm looking for a slider sleeve, but the Etch was the best that was offered to me via the free case program.

    I was wondering the same thing. My wife and I bought new iPhones together. I got the Bumper and she got the clear case. Now she wants the bumper instead. I doubt we will be able to exchange them, but I am interested.

  • Apple's Adapter Replacement Program

    Hello,
    Im having trouble with my charger works sometimes and sometimes does not. I saw this article about Apple's Adapter Replacement Program (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4127).
    I have an L type charger and bought my MBP in 2010. Am I eligible for this replacement?
    Thanks

    It's pretty clear here:

    Whether your product is in or out of warranty, you can take your adapter to an Apple Authorized Service Provider or Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement if necessary. Pending the results of evaluation, you may or may not be eligible for a replacement adapter free of charge. Signs of accidental damage would negate any coverage. Be sure to bring in the computer used with the adapter; it is required to process potential adapter replacements.

  • HT4650 what's the best free virus program for Mac?

    What's the best free virus program for the Mac?Not just for viruses, but removing all the duplicate folders and tuning up my mac.

  • Free bumper case when and how?

    Steve indicated that every iPhone 4 owner would receive a free bumper case to hopefully correct the antenna issue. When and how does one receive the case? I must admit that I have only had a few dropped calls. I live in an area that has a weak signal and my 3G had not one dropped call in 2 years!!!

    Apple will offer a free iPhone 4 Bumper or other select cases to iPhone 4 customers. Details on how to order a free Bumper or case will be available soon on apple.com, details most likely this week.
