The app has you log into your iTunes account upon launch, so when you check out, it has your name and address info all pre-filled for you. Couldn’t be easier.

Here’s a list of the cases that are available currently. If you wanted the official Apple , they are only offering the black one. All cases are listed as shipping in 3-5 weeks:

  • Apple Bumper Case: Black
  • Incase Snap Case: Smoke
  • Incase Snap Case: Clear
  • Belkin Shield Micra: Clear
  • Griffin Motif: Diamonds/Smoke
  • Griffin Reveal Etch: Black/Black Graphite
  • Speck Fitted Case: Black Tartan
  • Speck PixelSkin HD

If you’ve already purchased a Bumper Case from Apple, you are eligible for a refund. That’ll happen automatically if you ordered from the Apple Store Online. If you bought it at a physical Apple Store, just head on in with a receipt to claim your refund.
