Just a heads up, the free case program still works, however you cannot get the bumper anymore. All of the others are still there though.

i ordered one last night and got my shipping confirmation this morning!

its only working because your apple's ship date to your telco was earlier than 30th sept. if you're gonna order one right now from the apple store and wait for delivery, i'm pretty sure it won't work with the case program.
 
no i didnt, but trust me it still works. anyone who hasnt got a free case - try it.

i will post proof once the case is physically in my hand! not taking any chances.

oh really, its a week 40 build though (which to my knowledge is after 30th sep)?
 
oh and for the record, all iphones sold through local telcos here (in singapore) right until yesterday still work with the case program. they're also still on 4.0.2 so that kinda gives you an idea of how old they are lol
 
it works for all new iphones bought after the 30th. just got a new iphone and ordered the case, no bumpers available
 
bumpers = profits

simple explanation....Apple pulled the bumpers from the case program because they are ready to make a profit off of them...for proof just look at your local Apple store and notice that the bumpers in all colors are in stock

^ I'm lmao at all those peeps who said Apple was going to include the bumper inside the iPhone 4 boxes after the 30'th. :D

When did you buy your phone?

If you bought it on or before Sept 30th, then you are given a 30 day window (until Oct 30th) to log on and order a free case. If you bought your phone after Sept 30th, then I have no comment for that.

bought it last Thursday, 7th October. Its a week 40 build so i assume it was manufactured over the previous weekend or monday (2nd-4th October).

i guess i just got lucky?

My cousin bought her iPhone on Oct 2nd and it was delivered on the 5th, I'll give her a call later and ask her to try and order one to see if it goes through. I didn't think this would work, so I just gave her my bumper.
 
My friend just got an iPhone 4 about 3 weeks ago and he was able to get a free case through the case program. I was surprised as I didn't think it was still going on, but he's already gotten the case
 
honestly it worked on mine, i will post a screenshot of the details once the case has been delivered. i definitely recommend people to try it if you have bought the phone after 30th september and post results back here!

It worked for me last weekend too. Worth a try!
 
If it still works, but bumpers are not included, I'd read that to mean apple ordered more of the third party cases than was needed in the end, so they're just keeping it open till their inventory runs out.
 
I bought my iPhone 2 days ago, week 40 phone. I ordered my free case today and got confirmation.
 
Had my iPhone 4 warranty-replaced again due to a hanging, stripped screw on the case. Looks like when I restored all my apps, the Case Program got restored, too. I ran it, and it still allowed me to place another order today.

Hey, if the offer still stands, I'm taking it.
 
How long do you guys think this will last, I can't find an iPhone 4 from anywhere and I really want to save that money from buying a case, I wasn't going to ask for a bumper anyways.
 
Probably till stock dwindles down. Did you go to AT&T or Apple to purchase one?

still worked for me too.
I had my iPhone 4 replaced and got a new one, so I got home and backed up from my previous one, and I still had the apple case program. So i opened it up and i saw every case except the bumper, so I ordered my incase snap on case, and i got the notification and shipment info by e-mail...

yup, pretty cool story

i can post a screen shot of my e-mail if nobody believes me
