[Pwned]

I have an iPhone 4 that I purchased from AT&T. The night before it was scheduled to be delivered I went to AT&T and purchased a case (Speck Candy Shell for iPhone 4) because of all the news coverage of the problems the antenna was causing. I think its unfair of Apple not to reimburse one case for each iPhone 4 purchased especially in light of the fact that they are offering 3rd party cases in lieu of Bumper cases because of expected shortages.

Apple please add Multitasking support for this app

What case is on the iPhone picture in the main page from their app?

bumper

wtf we only get the choice of a black bumper!? Why no other colours? Looks like I'll just be getting a refund on my current black bumper. Great.

 

[ncfuser]

So there are giving free cases that cause the photos taken with the flash on to be ruined? Nice choice Apple!!

 

[chrisfromalbany]

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..

this seems to be the best of the worst..

Incase Snap Case for iPhone 4 - Smoke

Plain black bumper ordered. Not having an issue, but what the heck, it's free, LOL.

Are there any rubber or soft ones? (what's the Griffin Motif made of?)

Speck Pixelskin HD.

I got a candyshell a week or two ago, that's going back to AT&T. I like it... it's a little bulky (i.e., it's not as thin as the iPhone itself), but it provides great protection.

I was thinking about getting a clear case as that would show the iPhone's design, but I don't think a hard case offers as much drop protection

Just stopped by to see people bitch about their free case...

Wasn't disappointed.

I know.... I don't know what is going on with Apple's decision-making process lately, but there's going to be even more unhappy customers once the Reveal makes its way into their hands...

 

[studiosonic]

when is this available to UK customers?

It's there - I downloaded it about 10 mins ago.

 

[whyamihere]

i liked the Speck PixelSkin, but my primary concern is getting it in and out of my pocket quickly, so i went with the Griffin Shield Micra. Hopefully I chose wisely Guess I'll find out in a couple of months when I actually get the thing...

All the colored bumpers just got extremely rare. They took the bumpers off the market for this program and only offer the black in this program. So anyone that got a colored one lucked out cause now their no longer available.

 

[i.evolve]

anyone think more cases will become available moving forward?

 

[oahazmatt]

So now that everyone can get their free bumper what will we complain about next?

The lack of color selections for the Bumpers.

No green? Bah!

They gave you "colour" choices. You can have Black or Clear.

 

[AppleFreak89]

just ordered speck pixelskin HD

 

[-aggie-]

Any links to what these cases look like. I'm at work and don't have iTunes, if that shows them.

 

[wodeh]

Plain ol' black bumper for me. It's the only case I wouldn't be able to get my hands on for review! Gonna need it for comparisons.

 

[Krafty]

So if we used a Credit Card @ a retail store, should we automatically get the refund?

 

[anomie]

Seriously Apple, you have to create an app?

Where´s the problem? Very smart idea. A rush at the website from millions of customers is no alternative.

I was taking pictures of my car when I happened to drop my phone from my roof...Don't ask... Needless to say my phone was fine and the only scuffs on the case seemed to rub right off minus a few scratches.

I am using the iFrogz slim case i believe

Hmm...only one? Seems unpleasant to hold

The candyshell isn't on the free list though. Was going to pick it up earlier this week but it scratches a lot.
