How would it be infringement? It's not like they're putting the logo on a Samsung or HTC phone. It's still an iPhone by Apple.

Apple has always sold a premium priced product. What has made it successful is the products are actually premium products and Apple provides premium service. When you add it all up purchasing and using an Apple product is usually a great experience. However when a third party is offering to modify an Apple product is not a reflection on Apple.
Better days?? Did you ever own a mac LC II? Uh.
As nostalgic as I am toward Apple's origins, these days they are making their best products ever.

Soooo, you basically just want a black phone.Much better than the made up color space gray. Only Apple can make up their own terminology and have it enter our lexicon. <-- That's hyperbole by the way. I know that all words are made up. Space gray just bugs the bejeebus out of me for some reason.
Look at the apple website again. They do have a space black
Watch. The sport version has a "space grey" aluminum body, however the dark version of the Watch model is "space black", with the stainless steel band. It look so much nicer, imo.Side note, I also envy the black iphone case in this article. I couldn't care less about the overall design aesthetic, wallpaper, or thousands of dollars for this case though

I think it's all of the cheesy infomercial hyping things made out of space-age plastic? I agree anything named Space ________ is pretty goofy. (not to mention the continued use of the "i" naming convention on any products made beyond 2010...)
No it's not still an iPhone by Apple. The internal hardware and touchscreen may be part of an iPhone, but the case is an original creation by someone other than Apple, built to who knows what specs. If this company did it without Apple's permission they are selling a product with Apple's name on it suggesting that it is built to Apple's specifications and quality standards. Moreover, they are implying a partnership with Apple by co-branding the case. Apple is well within their legal rights to shut this project down if its unlicensed.
I thought these were not real (saw them on another thread).
Hmm, I wonder if these get better reception than the all metal models.
Encasing anything that handles wireless transmissions in aluminum is just stupid, looks be damned.
My Wi-Fi-only iPad 2 gets poor reception because of this, as opposed to my older cell + WiFi iPad 1 (it has an antenna plastic strip at the top).

It's like reading through a resume of a junior creative, as soon as I see a typo, I don't care how good they might be, their resume goes into the bin. Same applies here.
Alright, so apparently we've either devolved so hard we're resorting to dick jokes now, or you seem a little too interested in someone's genitals.
