Here's What the iPhone 8 With Edge-to-Edge Display Looks Like in a Case

At this point, my 7 Plus may be worth keeping another year. I don't want face unlock and have to see my ugly mug each time I want to use my phone. I just use Touch ID too much.

Unless it's implemented under the screen.

I don’t think it’s gonna show your face it’s just gonna unlock as if you did nothing lol

I've always hated cases, especially those with the piece cut out for the Apple logo. I get why so many choose a case and if you need one, great. But are you really that insecure that you need to show off the fact that you've got an iPhone so people know even when it's set face-down?

I’m getting brain cancer trying to understand what the hell u just typed lmao so you’re saying people use cases so u can see it’s an iPhone.....? Or......

Did you miss the Homepod firmware leak which contained a glyph that confirms that it is?

Fake (news).;)

JK, It's going to look like the leaks, I think it's the best looking iPhone ever from the front, the camera module on the back not so much, hopefully it has the same colour as the colour of the iPhone, the black iPhone in this case looks stunning.
 
I just realized that before apple started with the protruding camera, I never put a case on my iphone. It doesnt help that the rounded corners makes the phone more difficult and slippery to hold.
I do miss those flat edges of the 4 and 5.

Why? It will run the same OS your phone will and it's ugly. I had every model since 3g, but can't support this ugly thing.

It's really ugly. It needs a case to cover that hideous top notch.

I'm getting the black one, so I don't care. You also have to remember that this is a dummy unit. Apple could also make the white ones black on the front, like the iPhone 3GS white model (rare like a unicorn, lol). Every time there is a new design of iPhone, people say it's hideous. I remember this guy going around saying the same thing in the forums about the 3G back in 2008. He said it looked cheap because it was made out of cheap plastic and not aluminum like the iPhone. Then when the iPhone 6 came out people were losing their crap over the antenna band design across the back. It's always something. Lighten up and enjoy a new generation of iPhone—the biggest leap in many years! Larger, high contrast 3X retina display in a relatively small form factor. A whole new way to quickly unlock the device with no home button! Dual cameras in the smaller form factor! Longer battery life and wireless charging! I'm super stoked, although I admit I was a little disappointed that they couldn't get legit wireless charging into it yet.

Its to signify branding. It's just to show which case is being paired with what phone. And that's always how it's been with the iPhone, is showing the Apple logo through the back. Case manufacturers want their name known to be paired with most popular phone in the world, which is the iPhone.

It's lame because there are so many iphones out there and for the most part they look the same in a case. There's no exclusivity or elite status to having an iPhone. Trying to show off an iPhone in a case with the cutout logo is the big truck back in parking of the smartphone world. Straight up douchebag loser stuff.

Wow, is that camera lens/light on the back stick out that much? Does anyone realize if it's that thick, it's going to be very unstable on a table, I'd imagine a lot of rocking back and forth.
 
It already rocks

Doubt it will be any worse than with the 6, 6S and 7.

You've sold me!!!
IF this new "ip8" is actually smaller than a 7+ in physical size but has an equal or bigger screen for watching videos and using the internet, then I'm there.

But I think they are going to be really hard to get and possibly have a 6-10 week waiting time. Worse than the Airpods I reckon.

I actually had the white back, black front 3GS and loved the look of it.

3 knockout products within the space of a year is my prediction - Airpods, IP8 & Homepod. Plus the new IOS really looks like it's going to push the Ipad into new directions.

Honestly I think this might be the ugliest iPhone to date. The notch at the top ruins the look...but that's just my opinion.

Every iPhone design has been called the ugliest yet by some people, and the best yet by others.

Personally, I'm still on the fence about this design. Somehow it doesn't look quite as impressive to me as other minimal bezel phones, but I suspect that it will look better in person.

I suppose so. This is the first design I've found to be completely ugly, personally. It doesn't look very 'Apple' to me.

Probably because for all talk of wanting to lose the "chin" (with home button) and "forehead", those are the most distinctive iPhone features. Without them, it just doesn't quite look like an iPhone.

I actually really like the edge to edge, I've been waiting for that for forever but it's the notch at the top that ruins the look IMO.
