Check on ebay or your local Apple store. They normally give them away for free there....

I just received my iBook back from repair and noticed one of the feet was missing. I went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple Store, but they were out of feet.

The Genius recommended that I contact AppleCare and ask if they could mail me a set.

Sorry to hear about the poor response. I've been stopping by my local Apple store and they haven't had any in a while. But they are expecting some next week. I'll see if I can get an extra one. Keep watching this thread ...

My aft two feet just fell out at school. Something I didn't have a problem with with my 500mhz. When I take it in to get my new battery, I guess I'll ask for some feet as well.

two missin isnt that bad but one makes the whole thing rock and as it is one under the handrest it bends the iBook

Two missing scrapes the bottem of the iBook something nasty...

For what it's worth, when I got my iBook 500, in 2001, I heard they get warm, so I decided to try giving it a little more clearance on the bottom, for extra air-flow.

I went to the hardware store and got a set of white rubber feet that I just glued into place. I got round ones that are meant to be screwed into place, but, instead, I cut out the screw-hole, (I think I used a drill) so that the hole now straddles the tiny rubber feet that the iBook came with. Other techniques would work equally well.

My new rubber feet are about 1/4" thick, maybe 5/16". They've worked out fine, they look OK, and they keep the iBook a bit more elevated, just as I wanted, allowing good air-flow underneath.

Total cost: About $1 + 30 minutes work.

I've lost a total of 5 feet now. My ibook has gone in 3 times to apple care. The first time, they gave me two new feet in addition to fixing other problems I had. The second and third times, it was like they would only fix one problem at a time. I requested new feet and it came back with only the two that I sent it out with.

One more note: Both times after Apple Care had it, more feet fell out hours after getting it back.

I am now 3 footless if anyone can help me with a Portland, Oregon place to get them that would be great. (or if you have access, I'd mail you a stamp) ;)
