How to get a free case without having the iPhone 4?

Well Apple has done its bit to please the iPhone 4 owners and every iPhone 4 owner can claim a free case from Apple. The procedure to claim these cases is pretty simple and you just need to download an app on the iPhone and claim the case. But how about getting the case and not having the iPhone?

Well this is something that happened with us. I happened to call up a dozen AT&T and Radio Shack stores and finally get the 32GB iPhone 4 in stock at a Radio Shack outlet. However a week later I decided to return it and imagine what? I claimed a free case in the meantime and it has been shipped to me by Apple. Now is that a little loop hole in the system that allows you to get the case even after you don’t have the iPhone4?

PS: As soon as I receive the case, I would return it to Apple.
