    You'll probably get an email soon explaining. I got mine in Belfast and got a mail last week.

    According to this link on Apple.ie :
    http://www.apple.com/ie/iphone/case-program/

    You can apply now by downloading the app from the appstore. It's not just bumpers either IIRC, you can get cases too.

    There were 6 cases available in America, not sure what we're getting, the app doesn't appear in the app store yet.

    but when you buy in belfast you get a link to the UK iTunes app. and if you have an irish iTunes account, you cant download it.

    i rang Apple support this morning and they said that it should appear in the irish store over the next few days but if it doesnt, then ring them again before the 22nd aug and they will arrange something.

    Course we could just buy one line and get the money refunded couldnt we? Seen some nice ones online.

    it has to be an apple bumper or bought from the apple store IIRC.
    dont think they are refunding for third party cases, i could be wrong though.

    Placed the order in the app, went for the black bumper 3-5 weeks, might have a look over the weekend for another one.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 40,365 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    just ordered my black bumper there.
    3-5 weeks shipping :(

    i have the bumper and a zagg front and back so that should be enough to keep it it decent shape!

    dissappointed there was no green ones available :(

    didnt want one of the other cases that covered up the whole rear of it etc.

    I got a bumper from ebay so no refund for that. So ordered the Belkin from the app.

    is the app in the irish app store now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    I download the app when it came out in Germany last Friday, also said 3-5 weeks at the time of placing the order. But it has shipped today, just 1 week later, so I'll probably have it tomorrow. I wouldn't take too much notice of the 3-5 weeks time frame.

    If you type iPhone 4 it is the first app of the next 25.

    Type iPhone 4 in the search, scroll down and tap next 25 should be the first one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭paulgrogan.eu

    Search for apple as the developer in the appstore. It's in there


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 40,365 Mod ✭✭✭✭Gumbo


    search for "case program"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,034 ✭✭✭mad muffin


    Go to the Irish apple store on safari on your phone. than click the iTunes link for the app from there it should open in the app store then.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 289 ✭✭paulgrogan.eu


    Just ordered the Griffin Graphite case from the app.

    Looks pretty nice and protects the back of the phone which the bumper dosent. Says 6-8 weeks lead time so may need something in the interim.

    I tried that this morning and it was trying to bring me into iTunes rather than the actual App Store.

    As mentioned above, search for 'Case Program' and its about 10-15 apps down along.
