Free iPad case at BestBuy

[john3478]

According to tuaw

"Best Buy stores (a big box store here in the US) will be giving away those Sprint iPad cases that just happen to have a little pocket that's perfect for holding an Overdrive 3G/4G hotspot. Sprint expects to give away 10,000 cases before the promotion ends, so check to see if your local store has any."

Did any body get one yet?

It looks from the comments that they're only supposed to give them away if you buy the Sprint Overdrive. The only person that got one in the comments section said they had to put up a fuss, but was able to get one for a penny.

The section of the Sprint website mentioning the deal was pretty clear about it being given with the Overdrive.

I thought it was really nice looking, until I saw the actual product.

Everyone is up in arms about this, but Sprint actually released two different cases. The cheap one, and then the good one. Stores in areas with heavy 4G networks already available are getting the better cases.

That's good news, maybe I'll check it out, it looks nice.
