My latest experience at the Applecrack Dealer
I went to the Apple store at Eastview Mall the other day to purchase an iPhone 4.
I was very disapointed with regards to my accessory purchase. I was under the impression that there were free cases available for the iPhone 4 due to the reception (“antennagate”) issues. When I arrived at the store I was told that this program ended 2 days previous and even though I’ve purchased just about every product Apple makes they would not extend the offer for me. I picked out an Apple bumper case to purchase. The representative strongly encouraged me to buy an incase brand case instead (I did not ask for his opinion, but took him up on his recommendation as he was a bit pushy). Turns out the price on the sticker was $10 lower than it was supposed to be ($2x instead of the actual $3x).
Overall it was a pleasant experience but the fact that I had to purchase a case at all (in order to make my $200 phone work as intended) and that I was pushed to buy a more expensive one than I would have otherwise leaves a bit of a sour taste.
