On the press event last week Apple announced free bumpers to all the iPhone 4 customers as many faced severe signal losses. For those who have already purchased the bumpers will get a refund. For more information you may want to take a look here Apple has launched an App to apply for the free case, and its simply called iPhone 4 Case Program. Free download, you launch it on your iPhone 4, sign in with your iTunes account or Apple ID and pick your case. One per device only.
Apple couldnt make enough of their own bumpers, so theyve thrown in cases from other brands. You can pick the black Apple Bumper, Incase Snap Case, Belkin Shield Micra, Griffin Motif or Reveal Etch, Speck Fitted or PixelSkin HD. Whatever you choose takes three to five weeks to reach you.
Bought your iPhone 4 before today ?? Then you have to apply by August 22, otherwise its 30 days from your purchase, and the phone itself has to be bought by September 30. If you paid for your $29 bumper by credit card the refund should already be on its way. Paid cash at an Apple Store ?? Take the receipt back there. Bought it from AT&T ?? Then its a rebate coupon to be filled and posted to Apple by September 30. One catch for us here, you have to be in a country Apple actually ships to. Stay tuned.
