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...
 
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
 
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. :(
 
I think the current iPhone looks nicer - the aluminium back stands out whereas black blends in
 
If only they were professional enough to put up the 2.0 springboard:p they put up the beta of 1.0:rolleyes:
 
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 :)

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