Show me a silicon case with the exact same design as this that hugs the edge of the phones buttons this tightly.

It's 3am here in southern CA, so I'll look for one tomorrow.

I love how now you are using my 500x300 retort! LMAO!

Of course I'm going to use that because you're right, it is only a 500x300 picture. I can't give credit where it's due?

WHAT IF THE CASE IS MADE OF SUGAR? DOES THAT HELP MY ARGUMENT? IS THAT MORE BELIEVABLE?

My point is that ultimately, none of you really know what the case is actually made of, you're just speculating to the best of your abilities.

Seriously buddy, you are just wasting my time with these what if scenarios. Please stop wasting my time.

I'm wasting my own time. I'm not responsible for your time. You didn't have to reply to anything I said. Agree to disagree.

Look for a perfectly clear silicon case as well. I'd love to see it.

We are "speculating" using common knowledge of materials that are clear and showing that the headphone joke would not look like that on a silicon case. You are just trying to keep your argument alive with what if scenarios that wouldn't even matter because the material used on the side of the headphone jack is the same clear material every where else on the phone.

Sorry, I can't let bull **** go unnoticed.
 
Why is everyone getting all excited about all the casing leaks. They are easy to come by now a days. The leaks that are coming out now worldwide are from the factory in Shenzhen, they sell off parts of the cases and make a few dollars. I think as of end of may/early june it's a bit late to change the design of the case. (Especially considering the case is now under mass production)

Considering the iPhone will be out this month or next month in the US/within a few months Internationally.

If anyone wants to order a case let me know, I will see how much I can get you one for. (Let me know if you want black or white front) I am not sure if I can promise the black plate right now though. (Just like this video doesn't have it) With all the suicides in Shenzhen it has made security a lot tighter, thus harder to get parts.

I'll be waiting to hear your FUD. Hope you enjoy looking for a clear silicon case that looks like the one in this thread or coming up with more hybrid material claims that hold no ground.
 
I remember when the alu keyboards were announced by Steve at a keynote, they were leaked a week or two earlier (to much scepticism as always) he made a casual joke about it, something along the lines of "This is the beautiful/amazing/stunning/incredible new slimline keyboard shipping with the iMac, you might have seen it" Which was greeted by a warm chuckle from tha audience.

But this isn’t just a new keyboard, it'll definitely be interesting to see if he has a light hearted joke about it.

“today we’re incredibly proud to announce the iPhone HD”

*text bounces onto the projector*

“Now … I bet you’re all dying to see what it looks like!”

*Pause, wry smile*

*audience guffaws*

"But first, here's some live footage of the guy who lost one and the other source of our leaks"

*Video changes to hooded figures kneeling on floor in Guantanamo Bay-style detention centre somewhere in California with armed employee in Apple Genius t-shirt and cool balaclava stood behind*
 
It's a fake...

See you can tell with the cross-section... and the colourful buttons :D

Oh and the top button.. not exposed either along with the side buttons... dodgy frakkin rendering :D

*after 30 minutes of footage of human rights violations and Steves very best Reservoir Dogs impression, the biggest shock of the event is that AT&T still won't allow tethering.*
 
From what I can see in pics, I love the phones new design. I'd imagine it's going to be even nicer in person. As far as screws, the current phone has them and I never even noticed. As far as that or a case, I'd rather go caseless since I don't care about scratches but my concern is if it drops. I'm very careful and still have dropped my phone twice. I'm sure the case kept it front a dent or broken screen. I may go for just a sleeve this time. Omg one more week!!!!
 
Okay guys, calm down, who cares about such a freaking ugly plastic case anyway? The point of such a case is to make a well-designed, perfectly engineered, expensive device look like a cheap Chinese toy that was bought on eBay. Glass is quite hard to scratch, so if you never put it in the same pocket as your keys or a roll of sand paper, you should not have any scratches on it for a couple of years. What's worse: making your phone look like a toy for 3 years, or risking dropping it, which often won't do anything to it?
 
You guys have it all wrong. The seams are for it to transform into robot-mode!
 
iPhone 4

These are MY opinions:

1. The plastic/gel case is s**t - I never use cases anyway.
2. The case is just a rendering - it's not a real case! So who cares about the buttons being cut-out or not. "If" they make this case, maybe they'll cut-out the button holes but I still will not be buying it so...
3. The video finally shows the "seams" in detail - looks like rubber in there to me, probably some shock absorbing engineering thing.
4. Screws+seams - they will both be on the final product - get over it!
