Obviously marketed towards the iPad buyers to get them to choose using a Sprint Overdrive 4G device rather than AT&amp;T&#8217;s 3G plan, Sprint teamed up with Best Buy to give these cases away for free to anyone who&#8217;d purchase an Overdrive mobile hotspot at a participating Best Buy location.<\/p>\n<p>Since we are in a 4G-enabled area, we figured we&#8217;d head on over to Best Buy to see if we couldn&#8217;t finagle one of the Sprint 4G Cases from the store. We weren&#8217;t going to be buying an Overdrive hotspot (we already have one,) but we were willing to just pay for one if that&#8217;s what needed to happen. The first surprise came when Best Buy told us that we certainly <i>could<\/i> just buy one outright, and that it would cost us a full <b>$0.01<\/b>. A penny. For an iPad case! We gladly paid for it, and were on our way.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I didn&#8217;t recall exactly what the case that was advertised from Sprint looked like, but we did immediately think &#8220;Huh, this feels kinda cheap &#8211; I thought it would be better than this.&#8221; When I got back, I took a look at the Sprint 4G Case promo again, and it was obvious &#8211; the case that Sprint is promoting on the site is <b>not<\/b> the same case that you will actually receive at Best Buy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding:5px;
