I read somewhere (can't find it now so wondering if it was just internet crap) that the order date for claiming your free bumper/case would be today.
I've been monitoring the UK and US websites but no sign of anything popping up yet.
Am I misinformed or was anyone else expecting to be able to order today.
(on a side note, i'm not sure why Apple claim they can't make enough bumpers for everyone and have to source third party cases. Forgive me if i'm wrong, but the fact they have managed to make three million phones in the space of a couple of months, a very complicated production process, should mean that they should easily be able to pump out many more cases in the same amount of time. A bit of molded plastic and rubber should be able to be churned out at a rate 10 times quicker than that of a phone. Is it a 'case' of don't want to rather than can't? I don't want t athird party case. I'm sure we will be able to order the Apple bumper, but the waiting time for it will be much longer than a third party case to try and sway those that are too impatient to go for the third party option. They also don't have to make one for every one of the 3 million phones as not everyone is going to claim for it, plus quite a few people already bought a bumper so they will be refunding those rather than making cases for them).
Anyway, I'm looking forward to placing an order for the official black bumper. Even if I chose not to use it, it might come in handy should I feel I need to.

I get a great signal on the 4 and the new phone is so much faster than my old 3G 
You can get cases now following these steps.
