Applecare are kinda admitting error and are 'giving' out bumpers for free, my GF just been on the phone and managed to nap a free black bumper (only colour left in stock apparently).
Yeh i was thinking of giving them a call as well. Any idea what the number is? I'm at work at the mo and can't find a number on the Apple Support apart from the order line for Apple Care.
EDIT: found it! I'm an idiot.
