odd...It allows you to select and get a case even if you have been given a refund for buying one via the retail store.. think Apple need to re-think this giveaway.

They will probably do a scan later to check your email hasn't received a refund already. I applied for a free case also just to see if it will go through.
 
Went with the clear Incase. They make good cases and I know I won't be using this one much anyways. I want a Incase Slider case!
 
Griffin Reveal

For what it's worth the Griffin Reveal is a pretty awesome case. I've had mine on for weeks and it's collected a bunch of scratches on the hard plastic (as opposed to my iPhone having said scratches) and protected my iPhone from a fall off my couches armrest onto my tile floor just the other night. Not to mention it fits really snug. I highly recommend it.
 
Tricky one this, ordered a phone on apple store yesterday, with an estimated delivery of 19th Aug, if that's delayed, i may lose out it seems on the 22 Aug deadline! Unless i find someone with an iphone 4/iOS4. It seems clever to use an app, but they should let you do it on the store as well when you've ordered your phone on the apple store.

Aug 22nd only applies to iPhones bought in July. You have 30 days from your purchase date and an ultimate deadline of 30 Sep.
 
I was wondering why they did this via app instead of just through the website...

How much you wanna bet the app detects whether or not you're using an iPhone4, therefore preventing people from just going to Apple's website to apply for a free bumper when they don't even have the phone...

I tried putting it on my 3GS with no success.

They created an app to make it easier for everyone. Not everyone has a pc. Everyone has an iPhone 4.. Wait that didn't make sense did it?
 
They made an app because all iOS devices have a unique identifier that apps can access, thereby allowing them to restrict it to one per device.
 
Seriously Apple, you have to create an app?

Probable the easiest way for them to confirm that you actually have an iPhone 4, since the only way to order would be through the actual device.

Prevents people from trying to scam the system for a free case to a phone they don't even have.

They created an app to limit the program to people actually having an iPhone 4 and to limit it at 1 per phone using the AppleID. :rolleyes:

Was that really hard to figure out ?

any more opinions on which case to go with.. Bumpers are unless IMO. And I get one free even if they all suck.. so which is best of the worst..:confused:
 
Plain old bumper for me. Good selection of cases though. Just wish there was a soft case in there. Don't really care for hard cases.
 

I picked up this case at BB and at the time they only had white in stock. After about 4-5 days the white started to turn brown. So I bitched to Griffin and they sent me a black one but they also wanted proof that I destroyed my white one (lame).

In all its a nice case. I dropped my phone while using the LED flash as a flashlight to look down an opening from my attic to my basement to run some Coax. Phone fell in this chute. Other than a ding or 2 on the back of the case my phone was perfectly fine. (don't ask how I got it out but I did).
 
Cool, Just ordered my plain old bumper,
Wont use it, there selling on eBay for £35-50.
I was seriously considering getting the pixelskin HD, ive read so many good reviews about it.
 
As stated before....lame selection of cases for offer. LOOOOOOOOOOOVE that I have to wait 3-5 weeks to get one. :mad:

I would assume that with the free bumper from Apple this price will definitely come down if not be completely free. Good luck though!

Actually, the app uses either the phones ECID or IMEI numbers to identify if a case has been ordered. If it just used the persons store login, anyone could change that and get another case.
 
We were unable to process your request. Please try again later. :(

*EDIT*

Works now. Ordered the Griffin Etch case since I already had a bumper.
