Free iPhone 4 Bumpers Begin Arriving
Image from cleggster83
In what is not a terribly big surprise considering that they started shipping at the beginning of the week, free iPhone 4 bumpers have begun arriving into the hands of customers. As with the first wave of shipping notices, the arrivals appear to be limited to the UK for the time being, although customers in other countries who have received shipping notices can expect theirs to quickly follow.
Recipients report that the bumpers come in the standard Apple packaging for the product. And while customers who ordered bumpers are beginning to see theirs arrive, those who opted for third-party cases through the free case program have still seen no sign of movement on their orders, with shipping estimates pushing out well beyond a month for many customers. Those customers should keep their eyes peeled, however, as orders for Apple bumpers similarly showed lengthy initial shipping estimates before suddenly beginning to ship earlier this week.

Its good news that they're shipping, since they've removed all the product from the stores.
But they did have color ones... Remember? So where did those vaporize to? :rolleyes:
Only black available via the app

I ordered mine an hour after the app came out (UK), got confirmation email at 5:20pm on the Friday of delivery from 27th August but nothing since - many others who ordered later now have theirs. So for me it's just a rumor, I don't think they really exist! :D

pulled from stores, melted into liquid form, dyed black, and formed into a black bumper to meet demand for 3,000,000+ customers...

Still remains one of the most ridiculous solutions for a problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
