It seems that Apple [AAPL] doesn’t just want to sell everyone a new iPhone 4; they also want to sell you a case for it, as they announced the launch of Bumpers for iPhone 4.
Bumpers for iPhone 4 are basically a case designed to fit over the aluminum side part of the iPhone 4, and they will be available in a range of colors. These Bumpers will go on sale with the iPhone 4 on the 24th of June 2010.
Dress up your iPhone 4 with a Bumper. Choose one of six colors — white, black, blue, green, orange, or pink — and slip it around the edge of your iPhone 4. With metal buttons for volume and power, two-tone colors, and a combination of rubber and molded plastic, Bumpers add a touch of style to any iPhone 4.
Design and Functionality
The Bumpers are not just about aesthetics; they also offer a functional benefit. The combination of rubber and molded plastic provides a snug fit around the iPhone 4, ensuring that the device is protected from minor drops and bumps. The metal buttons for volume and power are a thoughtful addition, making it easier to use these functions without having to press too hard. The two-tone color scheme adds a modern and stylish look to the iPhone 4, making it stand out from the crowd.
Moreover, the Bumpers are designed to be lightweight and slim, so they won’t add much bulk to your iPhone 4. This is particularly important for users who prefer a minimalist look and feel. The Bumpers also leave the front and back of the iPhone 4 exposed, allowing users to appreciate the sleek design of the device while still offering some level of protection.
Color Options and Availability
Apple has always been known for its attention to detail and design, and the Bumpers are no exception. Available in six vibrant colors—white, black, blue, green, orange, and pink—there’s a Bumper to suit every personality and style. Whether you prefer a classic black or white look or want to make a bold statement with blue, green, orange, or pink, there’s an option for you.
These Bumpers will be available for purchase starting June 24, 2010, the same day the iPhone 4 hits the market. This timing is perfect for new iPhone 4 owners who want to protect their device from day one. While there are no details yet on the retail price of these Bumpers, it’s expected that they will be competitively priced to appeal to a wide range of consumers.
In addition to the aesthetic and protective benefits, the Bumpers also offer a practical advantage. They provide a better grip on the iPhone 4, reducing the likelihood of accidental drops. This is particularly useful for users who are always on the go and need to handle their phone frequently.
There are no details as yet on how much these new Bumpers for iPhone 4 cases will retail for.
