Leaked 3rd Party iPhone 3G Cases Were Real

[animenick65]

I hope that it's a LED indicator that there is a notification. It's the one thing that I really miss from my Blackberrys, an LED telling me that there is a text/voicemail/email/phone call has arrived that I missed.

I'm always randomly turning on my iPhone and seeing that I've missed a text or phone call that I would have known about much sooner had there been a persistent indicator like pretty much every other smartphone has.

A subtle white glow like the one on a macbook/pro/imac when its sleeping to notify you of a message would be down right awesome and add to the sleek and professional feel of the phone.

ive never understood the logic behind putting your iphone/phone/ipod into one of these cases. people say its to protect the device from scratching and thus ruining its aesthetics, yet they put it into one of these hideous bulky rubber things? i can understand clear protectors like invisibleshield, but not these things.

You took my words (I can't agree more with you)

The larger, front facing hole is for iAbacus. Apple is putting in a fully functional abacus as an alternative to the new scientific calculator. The only downside will be that you can't talk on the phone and use the abacus at the same time for logistical reasons. Otherwise, it is supposed to be a top notch abacus (made of granite), and a definite Blackberry killer.

finally someone who agrees with me i hate those ugly bulk cases especially they rubber ones the only cases i use are clear ones or invisible sheild other than that non other or a holster if that counts as a case

why would you wanna add more plastic to the iphone 3g lol?
rubber ok, but plastic cases?

That case pictured seems ill-fitting... maybe that's just because it's a silicon case.

People pay money for that?

That is one ugly iPhone case!

my thoughts exactly - let the 3g iphone with front facing camera rumours begin.
Maybe there is a higher spec model which is 'prepared' but not being released for a few more months - Apple have got to do a v1 (price drop) again and annoy the early adopters

Begin???
The front facing camera rumor has been in circulation for, what, 2 months now?
Welcome to macrumors.

And let it be clear: there will be no surprise announcement that there is a front-facing camera.

Sorry. I missed my morning coffee...

I agree, front camera is something that would have been announced already.

and for the record that case is the ugliest I have seen to date.
