Following Steve Jobs’ promise at the Special Apple Press Conference last week, this morning iPhone 4 users woke up with an email from Apple in their inbox. The email is confirming the eligibility of the user to get a free iPhone 4 Bumper (or a selected third-party case). It’s also giving a further instruction to download the iPhone 4 Case Program App, where the user can pick and claim the Bumper/Case.
After downloading and running the iPhone Case Program App, you will be presented with a list of available Bumper and Cases. At this moment, there is 1 Bumper from Apple and 7 third-party cases available cases to pick. Selecting one of the item will take you to the detail page where you can read a more detail description and see some additional photos of the case, and finally you can select the one you want.
The choice of cases are not bad either, considering that they are free. I still think that it’s a bit ‘daft‘ to have to use a bumper/case to fix this hardware problem.
One thing I noticed is that you probably won’t be able to get your hands on one of these very soon as a quick glance to the shipping time tells you that the quickest you can get it is in 3 weeks, or if you are unlucky, you might get it in 3 months!
To be honest I didn’t expect this thing would take form as an iPhone app as Steve said something about ‘checking’ it at the Apple Store, but thinking about it again, it does seem to be the most natural way of doing it.
So, have you get any experience with one of these? I need some advise.
