I ordered my new ipod on July 19th through Apple canada's web site. That time they did not change their ipod spec (case &remote).. not until the 20th... anyway, so i gave apple a call to make the complaint. However, I was having a hard time talking to one of the representatives. He was giving me a lot of BS saying that they have the right to change the spec at anytime. Also he kept insisting that I placed my order on the 20th instead of the 19th. Yet, the order date shown on my order status is 19th!!!! Can you guys believe that he still argued with me! I also told him that I have managed to capture the screen of the spec which stated that it comes with case and remote. I also told him that I, as a consumer, also have the right to be notified when they changed the spec!!! I told him that is false advertising! Anyway, he stil BS with me, so I asked to speak to his supervisor. To make the long story short, the supervisor agrees to send me the case and remote for free!
It only took the supervisor less than 2 sec to make that decision!!!!!! Yet I was spending like 5 min arguing with that stupid representative!

Guys who ordered the ipod before they changed the spec please give apple a call!!! you guys have the right to demand them to include the case and remote!!

I had called them Monday night (the 19th) and they told me they would ship out the remote and case since I ordered mine the moment they became available, when the Tech Specs page was incorrect. Kudos to Apple for honoring a typo!

Same thing. I ordered my 40GB on Monday morning through the online Apple Canada store about 20 minutes after they were released. I called yesterday and requested the case and remote and they added it to my order free of charge with no issues at all.

My only cncern is that on Minday, my iPod was to ship by the 21st. I checked this morning and while the case and remote have shipped, the iPod ship day has now been bumped out to the 26th...

I odered mine on tuesday...I guess I am out of luck

Was this for the 40GB and the 20 GB or just the 40 GB? And where did it say that the remote and the case was included?

It was on the "Tech Specs" page for the iPods and it only stated this for the 40GB model. The 20GB model indicated that they were optional.
