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.

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to exchange the 16gb iPhone with the 32gb by paying the difference in an apple retail store?

    hi, i bought an iphone 5 about two weeks ago, my iphone has only 16gb of storage and i am running out of storage. Is it possible to exchange the 16gb iphone with the 32gb by paying the difference in an apple retail store? Also i didnt buy my iphone in an apple store.

    If the retailer you purchased the iPhone from allows a return for payment credit within a designated period of time after the purchase date, you will need to return the existing iPhone and package contents for payment credit to that retailer - Apple deducts a 10% restocking fee when an iPhone is purchased and returned at an Apple Store, followed by purchasing the iPhone with the storage capacity you now want.

  • Free bumper cases wont work with car chargers

    Apple sent me a bumper and I tried it with a griffin car charger and it will not plug in as the cutout in the case is not large enough to fit the end of the cord. These have been around for a while and if you want to use them do not order the bumper. I called Apple and they stonewalled and said it was a third party item and they do not guarantee to work with them even though they sell them on their web site. They will not send out a case that works either. Typical I guess as Apple never makes a mistake.

    I completely agree with the topic poster. 
    Let's think and not just knee jerk.
    First, why did Jobs introduce the bumper right at the same roll out of the iP4? I mean isn't that odd to talk about cases like some side show pitchman along side a fine, new item like the 4?
    Answer- he knew at that time the external antenna was susceptible to issues if held in the lower left corner.  The proof of that is his quote from the press conf. when, in addressing the issue, he said, "look we even show you where it is…x marks the spot." (as he referred to the antenna seam)
    So, conclusion, issue was known and anticipated and admitted. 
    That brings us to the bumper. If they knew the issue and wanted to help ameliorate it, why not build a bumper that not only addresses the antenna but one that also allows maximum access to the charging opening, accommodating most chargers?
    Why risk further customer issues?
    Apple is a hi-tech hardware design company with few if any peers. 
    You're telling me they couldn't figure this out, that they couldn't build in the "Dremeled" more accessible bumper bottom?
    Come on. 
    They blew it. That's the answer.  They are human and they rushed this "patch" with the supplier and blew it.  
    And in the middle of a fiasco (that's what the antenna issue became) they further alienate good customers, like the person initiating this topic and countless others no doubt, by not attending to a small yet critical issue with the bumper. 
    So, poster of this thread, you are right. 
    Others, yes there are alternatives but as a business owner myself I'd advise Apple not to alienate paying customers. 
    All that said… the iP4 is marvelous. 
    Get a case that's made correctly like I did and there is no issue at all with reception. In fact it is VASTLY improved for my usage. 
    That may not be the same for all and that's why we listen respectfully in this forum. 
    So we can be helpful.  Right?

  • Is it possible to use the free Pages app on new iPads when using Configurator?

    We understood that Pages, Keynote, Numbers, and other apps would be free for our new iPads. We are a K12 school and use Apple Configurator to supervise student devices. These apps are showing up as paid apps. Is there a way to make this work?
    If we log into iTunes on an unsupervised device, we can download the apps free. However, this is not possible for student devices.

    Hi, Daniel,
    Currently, the PXI-8221 is not supported under LabVIEW RT. If you need to have an external hard disk for additional disk space, I will recommend you getting a PXI-8252. This is a FireWire card and you can connect an external hard drive to it with the right HDD enclosure.
    The following document should give you a better idea:

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Dope calls with great signal, how do I get a free bumper?

    I know about the "holding it" wrong problem but this isn't it. I get a lot of drop calls, I never did with the 3G. I have signal bars, thats the issues. Anyone have this problem? also I seem to but people on mute at times when I am talking. How do you fix this? If not mute it will jump over to the keypad.
    Also I did a search but can't found out how one gets the free bumper case that Apple said they would give out. thanks

    Might want to try searching the forums, as this same question has been asked and answered umpteen times.
    Apple will be posting info on the free bumpers on their website sometime this week. Keep checking.

  • 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.

  • Car charger that works with the bumper case?

    Does anyone know which, if any, brands of car chargers and models that work with the new bumper case? I went to best buy yesterday and they all looked too thick to even buy it and give it a try.

    I'm pretty sure the lack of functionality with car chargers and the bumper case is simply because the cutouts for the USB connector on the bumper is too small..that's the only reason. Otherwise it will work; it's simply a physical problem with the connector not seating properly; that's it.
    I'm saying this based on my own situation. I have a Griffin car charger /FM receiver that worked with my iPhone 3G and it worked with my iPhone 4 until I put the bumper case on.
    The situation is the same situation as to why the Apple supplied USB cable that shipped with the 3G does not work with the iPhone 4 w/bumper. Apple redesigned the size of the USB connector and sized the cutout on the bumper for their new smaller size making the bumper not backwards compatible with existing devices with the older size USB connectors. The size differential is not that big but it's big enough to cause problems.

  • 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

  • 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

  • Free iphone case? ya right

    Hello,
    I purchased an Iphone 4 back in July. although i have been happy with the product, i have been extremely dissatisfied with the customer service of this product. I signed up for the free bumper/iphone case back in july. The reason i am writing is that i still have not received it. Apple has shipped it out 4-5 times to incorrect addresses. The people on the phone have been incapable of taking down a proper address. Now the phone is all scratched up and damaged because of the lack of a case. The phone is good but the service behind it leaves something to be desired. I had a new phone and now it looks well banged up. Very disappointed. I have quite a few Apple products in my household: 2 Macbook Pros, Mac mini, Apple TV, Time Capsule, and a few Ipods. Now, i may start to rethink my Apple loyalty considering the sub par performance on this issue.

    thats your own fault.. I agree you should have gotten your free case but the bumper has hardly any protection at all to the phone if you mistreat it in a bumper its going to get all scratched up as well..
    my fiance has her iphone out of the case and has no scratches on it whatsoever

  • 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!
