Apple Beginning to Process Refunds for iPhone 4 Bumpers
Image from forums
Apple has started processing refunds for the iPhone 4 bumper cases to online Apple Store orders. Existing back-ordered bumper cases have also been processed for refund. We expect the process will continue over the next few days. Apple is also expected to provide a method for in-store purchasers to also receive a refund but has provided no details yet.
Apple announced last week that they would be providing free bumper cases to all iPhone 4 customers and providing refunds for those who have already purchased them. The bumper cases help alleviate the signal loss issues experienced by some on the iPhone 4.

I'm still waiting for my iPhone 4, let alone the bumper. I'm convinced the rumors of "intentional international shortages" are true.

This is great for people who purchased their case/bumper from Apple--but I got mine directly from Speck. I guess that makes me eligible to get a free case from Apple though I don't know what I'll do with it.

Interesting approach. Appears to apply only to online Apple Store. Questions:
1. What if the bumper wasn't purchased with the phone? Then they won't know that you received a refund and aren't entitled to a free case and you could double up.
2. What if you purchased in a store?

I'm going to use my $29 refund to buy a case for my Newton. I think the bezel is too exposed.

I've actually received 2 mails with refund confirmation (I bought 2 bumpers 1 for me 1 for friend) so If you bought more than 1 it seems they will refund every bumper and not just 1

I bought mine in store and have the apple store receipt. I think I paid by CC. Rather than a refund, just give me an Apple Store gift card. I've need something over $30 from there. I would really like to see the case options for the 3rd party cases as my Dad wants back coverage for his iP4 that he just got and as I am going to visit him next week, I would like to see him get his case ordered soon.
