    Yup. Thats what steve announced yesterday. But getting a bumper is going to be hard as they cant make them enough so apple will give you a choice to get one of the other 3rd party iphone 4 case for free.

    All I know is, I'm getting the cash I spent on my Bumper back. That's a whole lot of cake.

    "...we got reports about users having troubles with the antenna system...the problems they were saying...people were touching the 'x marks the spot'...this had been judged 'antennagate.'"

    "...AT&T return rates for shipments. Comparing the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 3GS. For the 3GS, the return rate was 6%. For the iPhone 4, Jobs says it's 1.7%..." => That means many users still love the iphone 4 and wanna keep it

    This picture is worrying. To me, that picture says "touching that particular area of the phone makes the bars display incorrectly". Which insinuates that the bar issue was the main problem and not the crippling lack of signal people have been complaining about. Own the f*** up already Steve.

    You should have ordered a Bodyguardz instead of the Zagg. I used Zagg for a day before I took it off, it just feels REALLY thick and rubbery.

    My mate has one of them phones and we live in an area with only 2 bars of signal and he can't get it to do that. On the other hand if he goes in the house it loses signal lol.

    Can you not grasp the fact that Apple revises their products once every year? And no more?

    They may make a subtle change that eradicates the issue, but they won't make a complete revisal with changes like more memory. Quit dreaming.
