My iPhone 4 does not qualify???  I wonder why. Mine is just as much a 4 as the next one…

Or
d) you work for Gizmodo.

<OK I’m sorry. My apologies. That was very catty, but I couldn’t resist.>

Here is the best answers I can give you as of now.

A) I did not purchase a bumper yet I knew it would be free lol.
B) I signed in with my only apple ID. I don’t have a purchase date because it was givin to me from apple.
C).I’m still on the phone.

I also apparently do not qualify for the case program. Bought the phone at retail on launch day. Paid unsubsidized price. Under this account, which is a mobile me account incidentally. I see nothing in the terms that should disqualify me.

They just had a meeting. “every iPhone 4 user gets one”. Alot of people are having this issue.

It could be something as simple as their systems being overloaded as everyone tries to order a case on the same morning.

Yes using the app. Now on the phone they can’t find my user id. Bugs!!!

Frustrating - I’ve been on the phone now for an hour and 10 minutes. I’m getting the same “Your iPhone does not qualify for the iPhone 4 Case Program” message. I bought the phone on 7/13; signed up for a 2-yr contract with AT&T. Hadn’t bought a case since I knew they were going to give one out for free. Possibly the most straightforward scenario for a free case… The absolutely infuriating rep on the phone kept telling me from the beginning of the call, “if that’s the message your getting, you don’t qualify” without any further explanation. I’ve now been on hold to speak with her manager for well over 30 minutes. Occasionally she’ll hop on the phone to ask me things like my serial number (shouldn’t she have asked this from the beginning?), where I bought my phone, and to tell me I’ll be on hold for awhile longer.

I can’t find the app! searching in app store..what’s the exact name??

Ok so after 2 hours seems as if the kinks are working out. I should know by Wednesday if it worked.

No fair, how come THEY get to submit apps to the AppStore that access private data like IMEI and SN?

Oh and the app idea is quite nice. Pleasant experience took less than a minute including viewing galleries of all the different (all black ugh) cases that they are offering. Honestly though, why the %@#$ isn’t the app on the “Featured” page? Only nerds that read tech blogs will know to search for the “iPhone 4 Case Program” app….

Maybe that’s the point.

Stephen,

I tried that link, but it opens up Itunes saying “The item you are looking for cannot be found”. I also tried to search for it directly in the App store via Itunes, and also App store via the phone without success.

I bought my phone without subscription, but it still couldn’t be that because they’re saying that all iphone 4 owners will get one.

Any ideas?

I finally got my email from apple saying I qualify for the case. I opened the app and picked it I should have it in 3-5 weeks.

I don’t even get an error in the app. After login it tries to load the case options and the entire screen just turns completely white., with the exception of the standard status bar at the top which shows the time and battery and network coverage…

I’ve downloaded the app after a hassle and now it tells me my apple ID is incorrect ! What is going on here ? I use my ID practically everyday for over a year now. I also tried 2 more family members Id’s and it still refuses to log me in. What gives ?
