Default iPhone 4 - Free case for all!

Apple has just announced that all purchasers of iPhone 4 will get a free case (through to September 30th 2010), and if you have already purchased one, they will refund you.

This does not just apply to bumper cases, they know they won't be able to source enough of them, so they will be offering options on your free case.

Not bad really. I cannot see other phone manufactures doing the same thing.

The refund is for Apple cases only. But otherwise, well done Apple.

I expect all the other vendors will be handing out free cases not that their phones have been show to have the same symptoms... not.

Already brought the Bumper, but tempted to get a refund and wait for the other colours to come available, as most are probably aware, they've only really had the black available.

My 3g has a couple of marks, though nothing major it just depends on what angle you look at the screen.
