"What's that you say? You missed your chance to get a free case from Apple for your iPhone 4 as part of their Antennagate free case giveaway? Well, good news: you can once again buy an official iPhone 4 bumper in a panoply of colors directly from Apple. It'll cost you just $29.99."

Shipping is within 24 hours of ordering so they have the ready for you if you need one, in a variety of colors such as white, black, blue, green, orange and pink. You can get yours ordered right here.

Apple Selling Bumpers? Not Yet..

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 08:00 AM

"According to sources close to the matter, Apple Stores across the nation will begin to start selling iPhone 4 Bumper cases again tomorrow today, Friday October 1st. All Bumper colors will be available starting tomorrow in both Apple's online and retail stores."

Not according to the Apple online store, I just checked after seeing this story on 9to5mac and none of the bumpers are available. I have no idea if they are in the Apple retail stores but from several sources it was indeed supposed to happen today. Interesting that they have no price listing for the black bumper but they do for the other ones, wonder what that means?

Did You Get Your Bumper Yet?

"Apple wants to get bumpers to iPhone 4 users as quickly as possible. That's perhaps one reason why bumpers are now showing up at customer doorsteps without retail packaging."

I received mine yesterday, but it was in proper packaging. To be honest, I don't much like it. The major problem I have with it is that the charging cable doesn't really fit, well regardless of which one I use. So I don't have it in a case. I have XO Skins on the front and back but that is it. I know I'm probably playing with fire, but I'm just extra careful with it and with the skins on it, the grip is better anyway. How about you, what do you use to protect your iPhone 4, if anything?

Apple Starts Bumper Shipping, What About the Cases?

"Rejoice, iPhone 4 owners, because the bandaid to solve your antenna problems is coming. We got confirmation that the first free Apple bumpers are now shipping."

I just got my confirmation email about my bumper shipping as well. So this is well ahead of the timetable they give you via the app, which is 3 to 5 weeks. Anybody out there order something other than bumpers and get an email also?

Free iPhone 4 Bumper Program Now Online

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad" @ 06:06 AM

"Customers who had already bought iPhone Bumpers before Apple offered free cases to all iPhone 4 users have started to receive refunds from the company."

And now the free case program has started via an app from iTunes. The process, outlined on the Apple site [link] is pretty simple. Download the free app [link], sign in to your iTunes account and select your free case. Seems pretty simple. Not so sure yet how it will work on accounts with multiple iPhones such as ours but I guess I'll soon find out!

UPDATE: Macworld has an article [link] telling you everything you need to know about the program in case you have questions.

How About a Free Case From Apple?

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple News" @ 12:16 PM

"After days of being pilloried for the iPhone 4's antenna problems, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took to the stage in Cupertino, California to respond."

And he responded with an offer most won't refuse: a free case or bumper. Starting at the end of next week you will be able to go online and submit your request at Apple for a bumper or another approved case, and if you already purchased a bumper you can apply for a refund.
