3G iPhone Case Revealed?

[zombitronic]

Seems to have a larger chin than the original - screen seems smaller - hopefully, colors are optional, as they would cheapen the overall appearance of the elegant design.

Looks a bit wider to me too.

Being wider makes the screen look smaller. It doesn't go as close to the edge as the original (as the size of the skin/case suggests). Hopefully, this isn't true. Optical illusion or not, it doesn't seem like a wise choice to make the screen of a new version appear smaller.

How long before they take it off of their site? Still up there....

I was hoping the site would have some info about the phone like "our new case has the great cut-outs for the new iChat cam".. but I could find nothing...

Just a way for the manufacturer to get some free publicity, it's fake.

 

[saxamoophone]

The larger opening on the top also lends credence to the rumors of a front-enabled camera for 2-way video conferencing! Woo Hoo!

I would agree with that! iChat video here we come!

 

[Shasterball]

This means nothing. Sorry, I don't think is any point in trying to take anything away from stories like this...

I never thought i'd use the words '*****' 'fugly' & Apple design in the same sentence but as someone said on ENgadget, if thats the 3G iPhone dimensions then it needs to get a WiiFit and tone back down to its 2.5G figure

 

[bbruneau]

looking at the pic, if you consider relative dimensions, it may be same thickness but slightly shorter and narrower (look at the back view and the icon sizes). Can't imagine Apple would put out something bigger....

I don't think Apple (if they did give case specs) would say the sensor, etc is for iChat. They just document where to place cutouts on the case and what size they should be.

Tick Tock ... Tick Tock ... Apple can you please release the new iPhone soon! All this waiting makes me hate carrying my current phone from VZW.

 

[OS X Dude]

I think the current iPhone looks nicer - the aluminium back stands out whereas black blends in

 

[a456]

Three weeks to go and things are desperate already!

 

[Abstract]

I just want the new iPhone 3G to be released so that you all shut the hell up.™

 

[swingerofbirch]

Well if we want everything but the kitchen sink thrown in along with good battery life, it may indeed be bigger. I prefer to see Apple make larger products that are more stable and have better battery life than trying to be as sleek as possible while sacrificing battery life etc.

 

[twoodcc]

well i guess it's possible. it's hard to tell by those pics, but it doesn't look all that great to me

 

[Allingby]

If only they were professional enough to put up the 2.0 springboard they put up the beta of 1.0

 

[Rafox2]

Build in a 7mp camera and a xenon flashthingy already!!

 

[DaveDaveDave]

It's a fake. The screen has a larger inset than the original iPhone - there's no way that Jobs could loom over the design team and allow that... absolutely impossible. Hope I'm not chewing crow in 3 weeks

Personally I think will come out with a new land-line phone.

Complete with a rotary dial, right?

 

[gmoney550]

It would suck if this is true. I don't like the tapered edges. I don't like that it's thicker. Come on Apple keep the form factor the same w/ Aluminum!!!

 

[MrCrowbar]

Maybe the regular case will your protect your iPhone from hits at 1G acceleration (i.e. falling to the ground from normal heights) and the 3G case will protect it from higher forces (throw towards ground) and the thicker design of the case is just padding, possibly gel inside.

 

[Penguinwrangler]

Oh good, because I was starting to worry there wouldn't be any more 3G rumors.

 

[Brad Gamma]

...and we know it's got a close cousin (itouch pro, itablet, etc) due out at WWDC

We do? Is this fact now?

 

[nxent]

the coloring is a bit tacky. but isn't it a bit risky to release a 3G iphone case based on rumored specs?

 

[darklyt]

We do? Is this fact now?

No, I'm pretty sure that it's been refuted.
