Apple slaps you in the face with a free rubber case

Can I say that with the announcement by Steve Jobs to iPhone 4 customers of giving them a free rubber casing is a slap in the face? As you can probably tell I’m really not impressed with this move by Apple only because it would have been smart business to cover up the flaw (the antenna) from the beginning by offering the cases for free.
But as we all know by now Apple waited… and waited for this issue to become a HUGE story. If Apple wasn’t so stubborn and cheap most customers would have probably dealt with the antenna issue with the free rubber bumpers if they had offered them for free earlier.
But the fact remains, Apple still rather insult your intelligence by saying “it’s not an antenna problem” but in fact it’s you and it’s the way YOU are holding it (the phone) but we’ll satisfy you by throwing you a $30 rubber casing that cost us probably less than $1 to make so you can stop complaining. I believe ultimately these past incidents with Apple whether busting down the door of a blogger or being conceivably disingenuous to customers will cost them big in customer loyalty down the road.
What is your opinion of this latest move by Apple? Do you think their undermining the issue with the antenna?
