13 Sep 2010 alle 10:30 Dopo una settimana di utilizzo e le tante richieste che ci sono giunte, possiamo finalmente recensire una delle custodie più desiderate dell’iPhone 4 Case Program, che può essere richiesta gratuitamente ad Apple fino al 30 Settembre. Si tratta della Belkin Shield Micra Clear, una custodia totalmente trasparente che proteggerà il retro del vostro amato dispositivo ed anche i lati. La custodia è in plastica rigida e nonostante sia una delle più sottili offre un’ottima protezione all’iPhone. Connettori, pulsanti volume, Jack per le cuffie e microfoni risultano liberamente utilizzabili. L’alloggiamento per la microsim invece, resta coperto dalla custodia. Partiamo con una serie di foto che mostrano la custodia applicata sull’iPhone sul lato sinistro e destro: qui invece la parte inferiore con connettore dock, altoparlante e microfono in bella vista. un’altra immagine che mostra invece la parte superiore con ingresso audio, pulsante di accensione/spegnimento e microfono secondario. Esteticamente è Read More

The e-mail Apple sent to those who ordered a free bumper-style case. Apple has started shipping its free bumper-style cases to iPhone 4 customers. The company started sending out e-mails revealing the release on Monday night. "We are pleased to inform you that one or more of your items has shipped," the e-mail from the Apple Store reads. At least some customers who ordered the free bumper case on July 16 when Apple first made the program available are seeing a delivery date of August 3. Originally, Apple said users would receive their cases in three to five weeks, so this is just a little on the early side. At a press conference a couple weeks ago, Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the program, saying that Apple wants to makes its "customers happy." The case is meant to solve reception issues caused by the phone's exterior-antenna design. Although there was considerable Read More

If this is a general trend (perhaps our readers were the first people to order their bumpers) and not a fluke, it could be a sign that canceled bumper orders are being rerouted to the free case program. Travis from Houston is receiving his bumper by the 2nd of August, and we've heard from other readers that their bumpers are in the mail as well for delivery about the same time. If you haven't yet ordered your free iPhone 4 bumper or case, be sure to download and install Apple's free iPhone 4 Case Program app before the September 30th cutoff date. Read More

  If you've already used Apple's app to order your free Bumper, then you know that shipping could take 3 to 5 weeks. If you choose black, you can have your freebie shipped in 2 to 4 weeks. We've received dozens of emails confirming the lengthy wait times quoted by Apple for the free antenna fix promised to all iPhone 4 users. During Apple's press conference on July 16th, I ordered a white Bumper so I could ensure receiving the color of my choice before the rush. I planned to get a refund afterward. My white Bumper shipped on July 23rd with an estimated delivery date of July 29th. That's just 13 days since I placed my order. I paid $4.00 for shipping. The Federal Express record shows my Bumper was even shipped from Shenzhen, China. So why are the free cases taking so much longer? Would you be willing to Read More

Apple ya se ha puesto manos a la obra para empezar a recibir solicitudes de fundas gratis, para todos los poseedores del iPhone 4 con problemas de cobertura. Para ello, ha creado una aplicación específica, que podemos encontrar en la App Store En dicha aplicación, tendremos que seleccionar la funda, así como introducir los datos de nuestra cuenta y dirección de envio. Lo curioso, es que no solo dan la posibilidad de pedir un bumper negro (no hay más colores), sino que podemos seleccionar otros modelos de funda, eso si, todos del mismo estilo. Las fechas estimadas de envio, rondan de 3 a 8 semanas, así que aún tendremos que esperar bastante tiempo para empezar a recibir dichas fundas. Podéis descargar la aplicación si disponees de un iPhone 4 desde aquí. Apple también ha anunciado, que la devolución del dinero de los que hayan comprado algún bumper ha empezado, así que Read More

Editor-in-Chief, iLounge Published: Friday, July 23, 2010 Category: iPod, iPhone, and iPad Gems: Apps, Games + More Welcome to this week’s Small Apps + Updates roundup, which takes quick looks at recent budget app releases and noteworthy tweaks to past apps. This edition focuses largely on a collection of small but interesting recent games, as well as showing off Apple’s iPhone 4 Case Program application—the rare app that enables users to get something for free just by running it. Though all of the apps in here are worth seeing, Plunderland and the updated version of N.O.V.A. are the two real standouts. Read on for the details. iPhone 4 Case Program (Free) was released today by Apple as a tool to help iPhone 4 customers order the free Apple or third-party cases promised at last week’s Antennagate event in Cupertino. Unlike the vast majority of apps in the store, iPhone 4 Case Read More

The plans laid out during Apple’s press conference held this time last week have begun to fall into place today, with the launch of an app to help iPhone 4 users claim their free case.  The application, called iPhone 4 Case Program, presents a selection of third party cases and a black Bumper. There are six cases available, plus the Bumper, all from well-known case manufacturers.  They are the Incase Snap Case, the Belkin Shield Micra, the Griffin Motif,the Griffin Reveal, the Speck Fitted and the Speck PixelSkin HD.  Not a bad selection at all, and we’d probably go for the Shield Micra or the Griffin Reveal. If you’ve already purchased a Bumper, then you can get a refund.  This is either being done automatically if you purchased it through Apple with a credit card, however if you purchased from your network provider, you’ll need to approach them for details of Read More

By Chris Hall on July 23rd, 2010 Want your free iPhone case? There's an app for that. Instead of making people go into Apple Stores, or even worse, submit mail-in rebates, for their free iPhone 4 bumpers or cases (if you don’t know why you’re getting a case, click here), Apple has created an app for the process. The app tracks your phone by its IMEA, so you can’t get a duplicate case or a second case with someones 3G. Also, be sure to read the policy on the iTunes page so you get the process done in the correct time frame. Don’t expect to hold off til October and get a case, Apple won’t have it. It’s a shame that every company isn’t so crafty with its rebates. FREE! iPhone App - Designed for the iPhone, compatible with the iPad Released: 2010-07-23 :: Category: Lifestyle Read More

To deal with the antenna program, Apple announced they would give away free bumpers. They also stated they could not keep up with the demand and would also offer other cases for free. If you already have a bumper and paid with a credit card you will get an automatic refund. If you paid cash you can take your receipt to the store and get your money back. If you purchased from AT&T you can fill out a refund request. If you haven’t done anything yet you can install an app from the App Store to pick your case. More details at apple.com/iphone/case-program The app is called iPhone 4 Case Program. There is a direct link above or you can just search “iPhone case” in the app store. Once installed just follow the steps to your new case: If you are experiencing reception issues with your iPhone 4, you are eligible Read More

Apple has just released a new mobile application for owners of iPhone 4 devices who are affected by the widely-reported antenna issues with the newly redesigned handsets. The app, called the iPhone 4 Case Program, will allow qualified customers to apply for a free rubber bumper case directly from their phone. In a press conference last week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs admitted to the problems with the iPhone 4, which now sports an antenna wrapped around the outside of the handset itself. The exec said Apple knew that such a design would cause the bars to drop a bit when the phone was gripped in a certain way, but didn't think it would be a big problem because all smartphones have this issue. Although Jobs' mea culpa involved demonstrating how other smartphones are also affected by so-called "death grip" issues (special ways of holding a device that reduce its signal strength), Read More

Apple made it pretty easy for iPhone 4 owners to claim their free case. Just run the app! As most people in the known universe are aware, Apple recently announced plans to give a free case to any iPhone 4 user who requests one (and to refund the purchase price to those who already bought one--a process that is apparently now under way). What we didn't know until today was how Apple planned to handle the giveaway. Would you have to fight traffic on a special Web page? Bring your iPhone to an Apple Store? Chant "antennagate" 10 times while standing inside a pentagram? Turns out Apple went the app route: the iPhone 4 Case Program lets you choose and order your freebie right on your iPhone 4. Neat. All you do is run the app, sign in with your iTunes account, choose from the available Bumpers and cases, then enter Read More

The iPhone 4 bumper/case program has finally launched via Apple's new Case Program application. Now it's decision time. Which case do you choose? If you're like me, you haven't really tested out a lot of these options in real life. I've used the Bumper for the past few weeks and can recommend it. It is pretty minimal and unobtrusive, but is a bit of pain to keep putting on and taking off in order to work with my old dock. It has a good reputation in crash tests and I do like the way that the bumper offers physical extensions to the built-in buttons -- but it's not my iPhone 4 in question here, it's yours. So let's turn this matter over to the TUAW braintrust. Tell us which of the cases on offer is best, in your opinion, and why? Can you recommend any of these choices as a better Read More
