View 12 Replies View RelatedI have had a griffin reveal case on since day one, so the death grip really has meant nothing to me. My findings so far is that it gets far worse reception and dropped calls than my 3GS. In fact, living in miami where ATT signal is strong, I never had any problems with dropped calls on my 3GS. I also have the proximity sensor issue and am wondering if I just received a bad phone.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI need help getting cell tower reception on my phone. Using China Unicom as Network Carrier. I am located in Guangzhou China (a major metropolis). The problem is not with the SIM Card itself because it has been tested and placed in other phones & it works well. Reception Bars fluctuate between 0-2 bars at most, both in and outdoors.Have noticed these problems since upgrading the phone to IOS 5.0 & now also on 5.1.1. No problem with Wi-Fi Networks. I have also tried Resetting the Network & taking out the SIM Card and putting it back in, but this has not helped.
Info:
iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1, Model MC637ZA Serial 83028W5VEDG
4 Reception vs. 3G/3GS reception

View 24 Replies View RelatedTrust me, you won't. If you paid for a bumper you will get a refund. If you also ordered a bumper or case with the case app, that will either be cancelled or you will be charged for it.
Do you really think that Apple can't cross-reference these things to determine what you're actually entitled to? And SHAME on those who are bragging about how they are getting more than one, as if Apple wants them to have it.
URL...I didn't know it didn't cover the back.

View 24 Replies View RelatedI haven't been able to find much in the way of impressions or pictures. Wondering if it docks with the bumper on, and if not, then how easy is it to take on/off. Is it bothersome to have it on?

View 24 Replies View RelatedSome people are salivating at the thought of getting a free bumper from Apple. Others think that the bumper is and ugly and wouldn't want it even if free. Some say the real problem has nothing to do with the antenna- it is the proximity sensor. What do you REALLY want from Apple?
View 24 Replies View RelatedSo if I get a bumper, what color should I get?I really like the blue color, but is that too girly? I just think that color looks the best with the black iPhone.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI received the email below last night at 11:15 CDT. I was actually hoping I would have a choice between receiving a refund or getting another one for free. However, it appears they are automatically processing refunds on prior purchases.
The email:
Dear Apple Customer,
Apple recently announced that iPhone 4 customers who purchased an iPhone 4 Bumper are eligible for a full refund.
As of today, we have automatically processed your refund.
Thank you for choosing Apple.
Sincerely,
Apple Online Store Support
Does anyone know of a leather case, that will fit the iphone4 with the bumper installed?
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor all you iphone users, how long did it take for your free bumper case to arrive? My phone is butt naked and im freaking out whenever people oggle it. The iphone bumper app said it would take 1-3 weeks for the case that I want to ship out.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI've called around to all the nearby Apple stores and checked with my local AT&T store, no one has the bumpers in stock. Do you guys think I'll have luck within the next couple of days if I check with the stores each morning? Ordering on Apple.com has a 5-7 day wait and I'm hoping not to have to wait that long, because I am having some antenna issues and I'm deathly afraid of dropping the thing.

here is the solution:
just simply boil your bumper case in water for 3mins now put back your snug beautiful case on iphone 4 and enjoy.
EDIT: just a tip. if the case floats, thats the sign remove it.
Sorry if this has been posted before. to the people that only have the bumper on, with no skins or shield, have you developed any scratches or has the bumper given you sufficient enough protection?

Does it get dirty every time you put it in your pocket? Is it more gray than white? You happy with the color choice overall?

I just went to the apple store but they told me that I had to wait for the announcement on the website. I thought this was already in effect??
View 21 Replies View RelatedI read the article of the FREE bumper giveaway that starts today and it claimed that everyone should already have their refunded money back if they bought with a CC.
I still havent received mine and I paid with a Debit card.
Many of us have no issue with the antenna. I happen to like the iPhone as it is- i don't want to hide a beautiful sculpture with a plastic cover.But Apple has offered me a bumper and I'm taking it. I justify it as I have a proximity sensor that still doesn't work, although a supposed fix is promised.
1) Is there going to be any market for these bumpers after everyone gets one? Will Apple take them back for credit (doubt it).
2) What bumper does one get if one really doesn't want a bumper- or one doesn't want to hide the iPhone? Even the Apple bumper hides the metal antenna, which I think is one of the coolest design features.
