    The program ends in about 2 months. At that point no free cases.

    all colours have a cost of £0.01!! well it's cheaper than $30 :/

    Type out the whole name -- "iPhone 4 Case Program" -- within Search in the App Store, and you should be OK. Don't rely on the 'autofill' prompt from Search (I have found it to be a bit useless anyway, and this is another example).



    Worked like a charm.

    Thanks! It realy only worked when typing: "iPhone 4 Case Program". They probably wanted to make sure that no one accidentaly stumbles upon this when looking for iPhone 4. THis way only the well informed user get's a case ;-)



    Any bets if Apple will include free bumpers to any new iPhone purchased starting September?

    So what do I do if mine doesn't ship for a few days. Should I order one of said cases and expect an automatic refund? Or am I supposed to wait until I have it in hand before I order a free case?

    I'm guessing I can't use the app, because I would be using it from a 3GS which would have the IMEI#...

    Actually, what they said is that they will definitely be giving away free cases through the end of September, at which point they will reevaluate the situation. So, it may end, or it may not. If you buy an iP4 before then, no point in waiting to get your free case, but, it's uncertain whether you will or will not be eligible for one after that.

    I'd just call Apple and ask them if a case is being added to your order, and, if not, ask them to add one.

    Ordered a bumper even though I don't have any problems and have no intention of using it; I wonder how many other people will do the same just because it's free?

    Because the program might end as StlBluesFan stated and because there are many other styles and colors that can be developed. Personally, I don't typically like the styles or quality of the products from any of the 3rd party companies involved in the give away. I prefer something more like this... http://www.pielframa.com/apple-iphon...gnum-cases.htm ...without the clip or knob. Of course I'm not expecting this to be free.

    I think because the refund would be tied to their itunes account, which you need to request the free case.

    While APPLE is stating 3 to 5 weeks for shipment, I wouldn't be surprised to see a shorter ACTUAL wait time.

    Seems like 9 cases available, probably more to come. Perhaps wait & see would be the best way to go unless you must order the case immediately.
