Apple has launched their iPhone 4 case program on their site at http://www.apple.com/iphone/case-program/. The program offers iPhone 4 customers an App Store App that lets them apply for their free iPhone 4 bumper case.

1. Download the iPhone 4 Case Program app from the App Store.
2. Launch the app on your iPhone 4 and sign in using your iTunes Store account or Apple ID.
3. Select your Bumper or case.

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.

For existing customers who have already purchased an iPhone 4 bumper case, Apple also provides instructions. All credit card customers should already be seeing refunds, while those who paid with Cash, Check or Gift card at retail stores will need to bring their receipt back to the Apple Store.

Best Twitter Apps for iPhone

During the iPhone's nascent stages, users had limited choices when it came to Twitter applications. But now, there are myriad services that allow you to blast 140-character tweets, and keep up with your buddies, too. So now, the problem is weeding out the pretenders from the contenders – not that we're complaining. 

So to help you decide which app is best for you, we're offering a brief overview, with ratings (on a 1-to-5-birdie scale, of course), of eight Twitter apps for iPhone. BlackBerry users, don't fret; we've got you covered, too.

Twitter

Price: Free
Ease: 5
Aesthetics: 3
Speed: 4
Options: 5
Multimedia: 4

Overall tweetability:

It took long enough for it to appear, but when it did, the official Twitter app (which is really just a revamped version of Tweetie) instantly became a fan favorite. It's not too fancy looking, but gets points for its ease of use. When composing a message, a simple button tap hides the keyboard, and lets you access tools like username and hashtag search, URL shrinking, your iPhone's camera, your photo library and geotag services. Plus, you can search trending topics and nearby tweets, just like in real life. It's simple and to the point -- just like our favorite tweets.

Echofon

Price: Free
Ease: 4
Aesthetics: 2
Speed: 4
Options: 3
Multimedia: 3

Overall tweetability

Echofon was the top dog for a while, and it's still a good choice for Twitter users who want a free and simple app. The navigation bar runs across the bottom of the feed, and, while its options may be limited as compared to other apps (with its lack of URL-shortener, for example), there's something to be said for such a simple and clean interface. It's not as thorough as Twitter's app, but great for beginners.

Tweetdeck

Price: Free
Ease: 5
Aesthetics: 5
Speed: 4
Options: 5
Multimedia: 5

Overall tweetability

There's one reason why we love Tweetdeck so much: its columnar layout, similar to Safari's on the iPhone. To start, there are columns for users you follow, @ mentions and direct messages. But Tweetdeck also lets you add columns, which is perfect for those with more than one Twitter account or for adding customized searches and your Twitter lists. If you only download one app on this list, make it Tweetdeck. 

Twitterific

Price: Free
Ease: 3
Aesthetics: 3
Speed: 2
Options: 3
Multimedia: 4

Overall tweetability

Twitterific is another clean app, with the usual tabs – tweets, mentions, messages and favorites – but also a list of trending topics underneath a search bar. Our main complaint is that the Twitter stream lags and can be slow to update. Plus, it's annoying to toggle between streams. We would much prefer a navigation bar to this app's clunky menu.

Seesmic

Price: Free
Ease: 4
Aesthetics: 3
Speed: 4
Options: 5
Multimedia: 3

Overall tweetability

Seesmic is an all-in-one social-media client for the iPhone. While that's fine, we prefer to keep our Twitters and our Facebooks from clashing in a social media brawl. However, Seesmic is well-designed, easy to navigate, supports multiple Twitter accounts and lets you hook into MySpace, Facebook, Flickr, LinkedIn, Wordpress and countless other services. If we have any complaint, it's that, as a Twitter client, Seesmic just doesn't stand out enough, which can be a problem in the crowded app market.

HootSuite

Price: $2.99, or free for the Lite version
Ease: 4
Aesthetics: 4
Speed: 3
Options: 5
Multimedia: 4

Overall tweetability

For the person who's too busy to tweet in real time, HootSuite allows users to schedule tweets in advance. While that feature sets this app apart, we also like how easy it is to toggle between streams -- just by swiping a finger across the screen. HootSuite also offers Facebook integration, and, for pro users, lets you track the performance of your shared links. Our biggest gripe with HootSuite is the initial setup, which is too time-consuming, cluttered and not very user friendly.

Twitbird

Price: Free
Ease: 3
Aesthetics: 4
Speed: 2
Options: 3
Multimedia: 3

Overall tweetability

Twitbird is just too darn cute to leave off this list. (Just say its name out loud if you don't believe us.) It's aesthetically pleasing, and users can even customize the background of the main feed. Be warned, though: this app is pretty slow. Still, for a free app, Twitbird is stocked with options, including Facebook integration and list support. It's jut too bad they're rendered useless by the time lag. 

Brizzly

Price: Free
Ease: 2
Aesthetics: 3
Speed: 2
Options: 3
Multimedia: 5

Overall tweetability

It's about as much fun to set up Brizzly as it is to get a tooth pulled. Why on earth should we have to confirm our account via e-mail? There's not a lot to write home about once you've completed that arduous process, either. Sure, Brizzly is free, and we like how photos and videos show up in the main feed. (Note to other apps: copy that.) Other than that, you're probably better off looking elsewhere.

The iPhone 4 Glass Busted

The iPhone 4 was released into the wild, only to find itself amidst a host of avid fans and critics. Maybe it doesn't matter that it had problems. Maybe that's part of the plan.

The newest iPhone has been dropped on concrete by these iPhone repair destroyers. Soon after the iPhone 4 was put in a blender and burned through some crazy set up that is only fit for YouTube. We have never done anything that bad to man, beast, or phone.

Much of the negative hysteria is often muted with the confession, "it's a really sweet phone." And it is a really sweet phone. This is great but it is hard to drown out the complaints about shattering iPhones. As reported the iphone 4 antenna issue arose and was dismissed by Apple as a problem all cell phones have. For $29 this problem can be avoided. That is, $29 on top of the $300 you just splurged.

Apple does have a point though. If you drop any cell phone on concrete enough it will suffer damages. When you put it in a blender, it breaks apart. When you grip a phone it can affect antenna performance. The fact is, AT&T is to blame for many of the reception problems, as much as the iPhone 4 itself.

Now reports continue to emerge about yellow screen splotches with the retina display and a faulty camera system that affects your ability to take pictures and can screw up plans to use the video chat feature called 'FaceTime' that Steve Jobs is always yapping about. Other reports from PC World are claiming the proximity sensor can be jumpy, making simple calls less than predictable.

Considering millions of people have received iPhone 4's, maybe a few issue is not a catastrophe. It is not surprising, either, that the leaders in cell phone innovation create a product that is ultimately meant to break. The irony of it all though is that the product comes from Apple, a company that has long touted their Mac computers as a product that can last for years.

They have gone for style and performance over durability. They have decided that their fans can afford new iPhones from time-to-time and as a reward they get to operate the iPhone 4, the latest and greatest in technology. The truth can be debated but Apple does not care if your screen breaks, they just want you to buy another one when it does. And you will.
