Apple bumpers arriving, Best Buy giving away free side film for iPhone 4
Jul 28th
TiPb iPhone Forum user shaolinfinest let us know last night, and many others have since confirmed, that Best Buy was starting to give away InvisibleShielf protective side films for iPhone 4:
I’m not sure if this has been discussed but Best Buy is starting to receive Zagg kits called “iPhone 4fix” or something like that. Basically Zagg sent us a bunch of invisishield sides to put on customers iPhone 4’s and they are free. The only disclaimer on the kit is that it says shield and install is free but install is up to the associate if they want to put it on or not. Before going in, call your local Best Buy if you are like me and don’t want to put a case on it. I installed the sides today and it was easy to put on and feels ok so far.
Whether or not InvisibleShield provides any protection from signal loss if you’re prone to such things in your area is debatable, but it’s interesting to see how other retailers are competing with Apple’s free bumper program.
Speaking of which, the TiPb iPhone 4 store has the full on front-and-back-protecting InvisibleShield and BodyGuardz in stock, and the Case-Mate Clear Armor available for pre-order. Just don’t use as much liquid to apply it as Dieter did…
We’ve also started to hear that folks are receiving their free Apple bumpers, in some cases a month or more ahead of the previously suggested delivery date. Those who asked for 3rd party cases instead haven’t had any such luck so far.
Of course, Apple’s free bumpers are pretty much restricted to black, and the TiPb iPhone 4 store has more cases in more colors than you can shake a gyro at, so check out Leanna going red, or pick out a color all your own.
See Apple and Best Buy, you don’t get to have all the fun!

iPad launches in Apple Store and Best Buy today
Apr 3rd
Today, April 3 is the launch of the iPad. Only the WiFi version of the iPad is available today, while the iPad 3G will be available in “Late April” according to Apple’s website. The iPad is currently available in the Apple Store (both online and offline) and Best Buy.
The iPad has been heavily criticized for not having a USB port, not having multi-tasking, not supporting flash, and not having a web camera. Will the iPad be a failure, or is it going to as successful as the iPod touch/iPhone?

Best Buy and Amazon Gearing Up for iPad Launch. Where Are You Shopping?
Mar 26th
According to Mac Rumors, Best Buy is gearing up for Apple’s iPad launch on April 3rd. The retail chain is providing its employees with details leading up to launch day and stores are expecting display materials early next week. Not every Best Buy will carry the device, however. Only the stores with Apple shop sections will be lucky enough to sell iPads at launch. If you do plan on making a purchase at Best Buy on April 3rd be aware none of their stores will be opening early.
In other iPad sales news, 9to5Mac points out Amazon.com also seems to be prepping for iPad sales as well by setting up a placeholder for all three WiFi versions on their site. So while you will not see it on Amazon for sale on day one, it should not be long after.
More choices are better for the consumer, but which choice is best for you? Where will you be picking up your iPad? Let us know in the comments below!

Black Friday: Best Buy’s Deals Include $200 HP Laptop
Nov 25th
Before our American readers settle in tomorrow for turkey (or tofu-turkey), trimmings, cranberry sauce and football, many families will be planning out their Black Friday shopping plans.
Electronics retailer Best Buy will have some impressive deals available online and in-stores this weekend. The company has posted its Doorbuster Specials online for the world to see. You won’t be able to get them from your local store until 5 a.m. on Friday, November 27 but you can shop online beginning tomorrow.
Doorbuster specials are always limited in quantity, so if you plan on trying to get in on some of these specials, prepare to get online or get in-line early. Some of the deals include a Palm Pre for $79.99 (with two-year contract) and a $200 HP laptop. You can see all of the deals available on Friday and Saturday here.
Here’s a tip for would-be doorbuster shoppers: do some price searching for the item that’s on sale before deciding if you want to try to brave the lines to get one of the limited number of discount items. Sometimes the deals are worth waking up early and trying to get — sometimes you can do almost as well buying online and not having to deal with the crowds.
