Proporta takes advantage of your pain

Proporta, case makers to the stars, is offering 20% off some of its iPhone 4 cases if you return your free bumper case to them. Why would you do this? I’m not quite sure.

Proporta founder Guy Monson writes:

As a mobile device accessories company with over 3,000 cases, power solutions and screen protectors, we realise that a free case is a free case and that a lot of customers will still want fully surrounded protection. So we’d like to offer customers 20% off any Proporta Case or Screen Protector for the iPhone 4, if they return their bumper case to us, with the promotion code CASEFREE at www.proporta.com

We generally like Proporta, but this move is baffling. After all, Apple will give you a free case no matter what. Perhaps Proporta is currently feeling a massive drop in sales as iP4 users flock to the Apple store for their perceived fix? Why not offer two for one? Oh well.

    In all fairness, they did say you can get any case you wanted, not just the bumper.

    Hello from sunny Brighton :)

    We’re sorry to hear your thoughts, but thanks very much for them. Proporta has offered customers 20% off all iPhone 4 accessories because we’ve been making them for years and experience tells us that some iPhone users will want all round, front and back protection, which the Bumper case doesn’t give.

    Although the offer from Apple is very generous and we’ve often admired, through first hand experience, their excellent Customer Service, it’s a fact that some customers will still want to benefit from a fully protective iPhone 4 case (and maybe a screen protector too), on which we’re offering a 20% discount to those interested.

    Thanks,
    Lynnette
    (Head of Marketing, Proporta)
