During the peak of the iPhone Antenna-Gate, Steve Jobs announced that all iPhone 4 owners will get a free bumper until September 30, 2010. This is put the death grip issue behind. US, Australia, UK, Spain, HK, Singapore and other first world countries that got the iPhone 4 first automatically gets a bumper.
When Globe Telecom launched the iPhone 4 last Friday and Sunday, I asked several Globe representatives how I can get the free bumper. They said that Globe and Apple didn’t have any agreement to give away free bumpers in the Philippines. Luckily I got Php1,000USD 17INR 1,445EUR 16CNY 124 PowerMac GC for each iPhone 4 I got last Friday.
Anyways, I researched on how to get the iPhone 4 free bumpers and learned that I need to follow this procedure:
Requirements
Procedure:
There you have it! Your free bumper will ship in 2-3 weeks’ time. :)
I ordered 2 different cases by using 2 iPhone 4s I got last Friday. The first 1 is the regular Apple black Bumper that will ship in 1-2 weeks and another one from Speck, Fitted Case shipping in 2-3 weeks.
I got an email confirmation from Apple that I’ll be getting the iPhone 4 cases in 2 different dates, Oct.  15 and 22.
But today, I got another email from Apple — a shipping notification email that says I should expect the Black Apple Bumper next Monday, October 4.
PS. The free bumper program will end September 30! Goodluck!

Bryan says:
but still we can’t get the free iphone 4 bumper here in the Philippines right?
matt says:
shouldn’t the iphone 4 come with a thin plastic “sticker” (for lack of a better term) on the metal part right out of the box?
Manny says:
@ matt– didnt see any.
Anyway guys, the free bumpers/cases dont look that good anyway. And the phone works properly even without one, and can still enjoy the slimness of the phone.

Thanks for the tip! I got my iPhone 4 on the 26th, saw your article on the 29th and ordered it on the 30th in the nick of time. However, for others who are interested, what exactly is the Sept 30 deadline, is this when you purchased the iPhone 4 or is this when you can order the free case?
Dennis says:
For those who got the iphone4 from Globe, any feedback on the reception, dropped calls, low signal complaints?
Abe, can you do a comparison on the 3GS and iphone 4’s signal reception.
Thanks.

Yeesh. will hold off on getting my first iPhone. This bumper thing is a turn off. Phone is expensive enough… it seems like a con to have to pay for a bumper that takes away from the cool factor of the phone.
bench says:

jahykk says:

Jay Becwar says:
