Thoughts on the iPhone 4 Case Program
The iPhone 4 has gotten a lot of bad publicity in form of complaints and whining with how they have handled the ‘Antennagate’ situation.
Personally, I haven’t noticed a significant difference when placing my finger on the ‘weak-spot’, or by holding the phone in a death-grip kind of way. For those who complain, Apple has issued a free Case Program, that will let you order a free bumper or a case from Apple.
To do this, you have to download a program from the App Store called ‘iPhone 4 Case Program’. The program will ask for your iTunes account password, and will after that take you to a selection of free bumpers and cases. When you click on a bumper / case, you’ll see a gallery short description of it. Also an estimated delivery time is given to you. After you’ve chosen which bumper or case you’d like to receive, you just have to accept or edit the suggested delivery address and click submit. If everything went well, you’ll shortly receive a confirmation email where you’ll find the expected delivery date.
I just ordered my free case, and it is expected to be delivered as follows:
We estimate your order to be shipped by 06 Sep, 2010.
We expect your order will arrive by post to your shipping address on or before 09 Sep, 2010.
Two thumbs how Apple has done this, and how easy it was for me to order the case.
