Something for nothing – “from Apple?”
Although less Australians are said to be experiencing the iPhone 4 death grip, you’ve still got a chance to get a free iPhone case from Apple.
SO… if you have already bought yourself the brand spanking shiny new Apple iPhone 4 – but are yet to take up Apple’s offer, here’s how to go about it…
How to Get your iPhone Case
You get the iPhone 4 Case Program App from the iTunes store, register your details and away you go!
The iPhone 4 Case Program app is free to download
- Launch the app on your iPhone 4
- Sign in using your iTunes store account or Apple ID
- Then select your cover… and wait for it to arrive.
Apple Fine Print
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.”

Protect Your Investment!
If you’re splashing out on the iPhone 4, then protect you definitely need to protect your investment.
Unless of course you’re too rich to worry?! In which case, “Hello…”
(Where to Buy iPhone 4)
Insurance
Our first advice would be to consider taking insurance on your iPhone handset at the time of purchase (or contract signing). That is unless it’s already covered on your home and contents insurance (check!).
There are many things that Apple or your Telco will not accept for warranty. For example, did you know that using your iPhone when your hair is slightly damp can easily cause irreversible water damage?
Too many iPhone owners have been hurt by accidental damage like that in the early stages of their contract, then stuck paying it out, or paying a hefty sum for replacement.
Protection in the form of a Cover or Case
Below are some cases we have that are perfect for the new iPhone 4:

- Marware CEO Premiere leather hipcase
- Marware Eco-Runner armband case
- Microfibre Pouch red & blue available
**We’ve got a couple of new iPhone 4 cases – but we want to test them out personally first, before listing them on the site. (Stay tuned…)

Clean, Polish, Protect
Keep it clean and shiny, just like the day you bought it.
- iKlear Cleaning Kits **Apple recommended**
Other Accessories
If you want some powerful yet portable speakers, then check out the iHome iHM79. They pack an amazing punch for their compact size! (And I recommend them as they’re the speakers I’m currently using)

And if you were still personally thinking that nothing exciting could come of 3 and Vodafone joining, then check out the special VHA VIP iPhone launch for Sydneysiders… putting on the food and drinks at The Ivy… Wow! If I was to be smoozed and boozed for hours before buying my iPhone 4, I’d have been sure to impulse buy every single available iPhone accessory as well! [Danger Will Robinson]

Optus iPhone 4 launch
Optus have announced they are doing VIP events for the iPhone 4 launch this week.
Selected city stores (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth) will be opening at midnight Thursday.
You must be registered with them, which you can do via the Optus website.
Of course, if you can’t be bothered lining up at midnight and getting in first, then you can still purchase via their website or stores thereafter.
Other Telcos
Three and Vodafone also offering the iPhone at the same time:
- Buy iPhone 4 through Vodafone
- Buy iPhone 4 through Three Mobile
They’ve got great plans.
Unless you need to bother with Telstra based on your location, I wouldn’t worrya bout their iPhone 4 plans… I don’t reckon they compare.
