HE opens up a 3gs and says its thicker, will case fit?

Based on the guy's gangsterisms, I'm guessing he means the 32GB iPhone is more phat than the previous generation.

This is actually true, it is not mentioned anywhere else but i got mine today and it IS heavier and thicker towards the ends. Compare the backs, the old ones were arched like a oval, the new 32GB one is flat and uniform.

I'll have to compare mine to my old 3G I just gave my wife and see. It makes sense though, because I have a gunmetal incase slider case that I took off my 3G and put on my 32GB 3G S last night, and the bigger half of the case was always very loose on my 3G, and I could barely get it off my 3G S. It took me about 10 minutes just to get the damn case off!

so lets clarify

its not thicker, its just less tapered towards the edges when compared to the iPhone 3G

The 3G S fits just fine in the cases for our 3G phones.....

Same case and situation with me. I know the case isn't going anywhere, though!

I think the fitment problems I've been having are just due to ever so slight tolerances in Apple's design. I managed to pry my 3G S out of my slider, and got my old 3G out to compare sizes. They look exactly the same to the naked eye, too bad I don't have anything to help with tiny measurements. It seems my 3G was on the small side, and my 3G S is on the large side. My wife bought a white slider to put on my old 3G, and it behaves the same as my gunmetal slider, it fits the 3G loosely and it's almost impossible to pry off the 3G S.
