It wasnt long ago that Apple began passing out iPhone 4 cases like candy on Halloween. They even went as far as to create a Bumber App to help streamline the process making it as easy as possible to order the necessary addition to the mobile phone. New iPhone 4 customers also had a refund option where they could decide to get money back on the case they had already purchased.
Apple knew their integrity was on the line when they launched the new iPhone 4 and all everyone was talking about was the antenna issue. There has been plenty of talk on whether there was an actual antenna issue or if the issue got blown out of proportion as a public relations nightmare. In order to undo the mess that was created they gave away free iPhone cases to people and that giveaway is now coming to an end as of the end of September.
According to Apple they will still give iPhone cases to those in need of the cases, but they have come to realize that the issue was a lot smaller than they originally thought. They urge customers to contact them for a free bumber or case and will supply those in need. The announcement from Apple stated, We know that the iPhone antenna attenuation issue is even smaller than we originally thought a small percentage of iPhone 4 users need a case and we want to continue providing them a Bumber case for free.
Until September 30, when the rule runs out, Apple iPhone owners must apply for the case within 30 days of purchasing the iPhone 4. So, if havent bought an iPhone by by the 30, dont expect your free case from the official Apple website because you would have missed the deadline. Your best bet is to check out the many cases and bumbers at iphonecases.co.uk for a range of options that will suit you of both iPhone 4 and iPhone 3g cases.
Now Apple wasnt the only company to go out of there way and give away free cases considering the fact that it was their fault that everyone was in this mess. Other companies have been doing free bumbers and cases as well including the US and UK markets.
With the free cases in mind, there are also some other options for adding some needed umph to your iPhone. The ClearBoost case has a built-in booster antenna that captures more available wireless signal and sends it to the internal antenna of your phone. With Clear Boost you can have fewer dropped calls, wider coverage, better signal, and speedy downloads.
Not only do you get faster signal and the perks mentioned above, but the ClearBoost is obviously a durable polycarbonate case as well. Your iPhone will be protected from scratches, bumps and bruises too. Apple wont be giving these cases away, but they are definitely worth the investment.
