Here’s how to get your free case or bumper from Apple:
  1. Download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from the App Store. (iTunes Link)
  2. Select your Bumper or case.
  3. Launch the app on your iPhone 4 and sign in using your iTunes Store account or Apple ID.

The choices are as follows:

  • Griffin Motif
  • Incase Snap Case (smoke)
  • Incase Snap Case (clear)

For iPhone 4 purchases made before July 23, 2010, you must apply no later than August 22, 2010; otherwise, you must apply within 30 days of your iPhone 4 purchase. To qualify for this program, you must purchase your iPhone 4 by September 30, 2010.

I personally opted for the Incase Snap Case clear as I’m a huge fan of all their products.

I’ve traveled for near 22 hours to get to Mammoth Lakes, starting with a 5:30 flight from IND to ORD then SFO.  Everything seem to all go well until we got to San Francisco where we learned that United Airlines did not put our skis on the plane to SFO so they are going to overnight it to our hotel.   The original plan was to take 120 straight through Yosmite, but that didn’t work since all passes are currently closed due to snow so we rerouted through Lake Tahoe.  Anyways it’s 23:30 PDT (2:30 EST) so I’m off to bed.  Travel gallery below.
