iPhone 4 Bumpers Once Again For Sale Through Apple's Online Store

Apple has once again started offering its iPhone 4 bumpers for sale in its online store following the end of the free case program, which expired September 30th. While the bumpers had quietly reappeared for sale in the company's retail stores as of October 1st, the online store continued to list the bumpers as "currently unavailable" until today.
All six bumper colors are currently available, priced at $29 and available for shipping within 24 hours.

So does that mean that post September-30th phones have some sort of antenna fix?

Jus call and complain to customer service about your reception problem and you can still get a free bumper. I can't wait till iPhone 5 and an antenna that's not exposed

Really? What a joke. I got my free one and I regret not choosing a free case from one of the other manufacturers. There's no way in hell that I can understand how Apple feels it's alright to charge $29 for this piece of garbage. (BTW, not a troll! I love everything I've ever purchased from Steve, but this is one item I think needs to DISAPPEAR. Or be sold for $2.25.)

I guess this is good news. I still wish they would just fix the iPhone, though.

Think it's too expensive? Don't buy it. The beauty of the open market at work.
Think the antenna problem is going to ruin the phone for you? Don't buy it. The beauty of the open market at work.
Complain here? Waste of time.

Kinda funny how they still show pictures of the bumpers on the WHITE iPhone even though it is STILL not available.

$29? What a rip off. It can't cost them more than 59 cents to produce!
$29 is steep, but in fairness they are actually pretty nice. They are much more then a simple rubber band. It's a hard plastic frame, with soft rubber edges and physical buttons that push through the the phone underneath.
Besides, if you still want a free (black) one, just call Apple and tell them your signal drops.
