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.

The iPhone 4 pre-orders were plagued with an incredible mess of mis-payments, wrong account information, and overall bad juju.

Don’t get too excited just yet – we seriously doubt Apple really had ten million successful iPhone 4 pre-orderes amongst the problems AT&T had yesterday. Despite our wishful thinking, 9 to 5 Mac reports that Geman Telekom (who had problems similar to AT&T) revealed to NTV that demand for the iPhone 4 is ten times higher than that of the iPhone 3GS. Needless to say, 9 to 5 Mac is just as skeptical as we are, and even NTV doesn’t recognize that amount in a recent report this morning. It’s suggested that Apple has probably hit the the million mark, and we’ll be sure to keep you updated with more official numbers once the tally is counted.
