iPhone 4 Bumpers Also a Hit

While I admit it’s somewhat of a silly product, Apple’s hip Bumpers for the iPhone 4 are apparently a big sell. TUAW reports that the cotton candy colors are almost selling as fast as the iPhone, four of the six colors – pink, white, orange, and blue – now have delayed shipping for July 2nd. We don’t know how many have actually sold, but the fact that shipping dates are being pushed back means that people are genuinely interested in protected their stainless steel investment.

Apple, these Bumpers should glow in the dark. I’d buy one of each color.
