Just go to an Apple store and act seriously entitled. Do it on a busy day when a TON of people are playing with iPhone 4s. Get really loud and demand to exchange it unless you get a free case.

Odds are you'll get a free bumper case and asked to leave. Problem solved.

Just what I want to do as a paying customer: go into the store and act like an ass to get what I already paid for; great...

You're not getting what you paid for; you're getting a complimentary case to address the "horrific loss of signal power" due a design flaw. Consumer Reports said the iPhone 4 is the "the best smartphone on the market" according to its test, but doesn't recommend it (it instead specifically endorsed the iPhone 3GS running iOS4) because of the antenna design flaw.

Sounds like you're well on your way to the right attitude for that store visit ;-)
