Consumers File Lawsuit Against Apple Over iPhone
Why they're not giving out bumpers (yet.)
If Apple pre-emptively gives out bumper cases, it's an implied admission (in legalise terms) that there's a design flaw in the phone. Then there actually is a viable grounds for lawsuit. ☹️
I just hope their response to this is more than a red "Don't touch here" sticker. (Remember those?)

It's interesting that you mention this, because I haven't heard anyone mentioning free bumpers .. I thought that was my genius idea and that it is the least they can do for the unhappy customers.
But I didn't even think of the angle that you mentioned, about implied admission of a design flaw.
Good post, thanks for the info!

Phonescoop, posted a email from Steve Jobs saying that we will not give out free bumpers for the issue.

That's actually a very good point. Ultimately, they will have to do something about this. Engadget had an interesting article about the actual results of the antenna issue. They came to the conclusion that, while it is over-stated, it does still have a significant impact on reception.

I still remember on my first phone, it had a HUGE sticker that said "don't touch this during a call"
Didn't some people solve the issue just with a little nail polish? If that's the case, I think just putting some coating on the band (even if clear) would solve the issue. Which is a lot better than a big round dot, or having to use a bumper if you don't want to.
In other news, did you see the guys who made the blackwood cover for the iphone4? the one without the stones actually looks kinda nice (though the gold is a bit much)
