Apple is offering the choice of eight different cases for iPhone 4 owners until September 30. Case selection and availability is subject to change. Here's the list:
Apple Bumper (Black)
Belkin Shield Micra (Clear)
Incase Snap Case (Smoke or Clear)
Griffin Motif (Diamonds/Smoke)
Apple has already begun to automatically refund customers who purchased an iPhone 4 Bumper case using a credit card. You can check on the status of your credit card refund on the Apple iPhone 4 Bumper Refund Program website.
Here are instructions for everyone else who needs a refund.
If you purchased a Bumper using cash, check or gift card at the Apple Store:
UPDATE: Apple has posted an iPhone 4 Case Program website with instructions. iPhone 4 owners must install the iPhone 4 Case Program app on their devices to request a free case.
Those who have purchased their iPhone 4 before July 23, 2010 must apply no later that August 22. Everyone else must apply within 30 days of purchase. To get a free case, your iPhone 4 must be purchased by September 30.
After a little more than a week of waiting, Apple posted details today about how early iPhone owners can go about landing their $100 Apple Store credit.
Straight from the horse's mouth, here is who qualifies:
If you bought your iPhone before August 22, you may be eligible for an instant $100 electronic credit toward the purchase of products at the Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store.
(If you purchased after August 22nd, you can recover the entire $200 difference through Apple's price protection plan.)
