More 'iPad 5' Cases Surface Showing Smaller and Thinner Design

Now we'll get octa-core graphics for everyone to load Facebook even faster!

/s

well it is important, as the facebook app is a slow, lagging POS that will likely need 12 cores to actually get it flowing smoothly.

That was the 4s.

The difference is that those cases were a complete departure from anything we have ever seen from Apple. In this case, it is totally plausible (and highly likely IMO) that they unify the designs by applying the Mini styling to the 9.7 model.

Thanks for the correction. And agree the case is plausible, just hoping the bezel remains, but probably won't.

OMG, what's with cases on everything?!? If you want a case, that's great, go get a Galaxy Android p.o.s. I want my user experience naked a clean. No thanks!

wait…is this not a Facebook thing? Never mind. I'm cool with this.

if u want abigger screen use ur mac, or mac with external display

to me the regular ipad is to big of a tablet. a tablet should be something small and convinanent to carry IMO of course

I believe the current full size iPad is perfect size. I'm also concerned that some of the appsI use won't function the same on a smaller screen.

My iPad 4 is very nice, therefore I'm not in a rush.

Rumored production delays of various Apple products, if true, will make this a tough year for Apple.

Yet I am rather eager to dump my mini as soon as Apple implements retina on one. A rumor I saw recently suggested they might delay it until after the next upgrade. Bleh!

Darn, still single speaker. Was hoping it would get updated to 2.

Not sure what your talking about cause i totally see 2 speakers.

Thinner
Lighter
Smaller

This has got me working hard , never been a fan of the 3 and 4 Generation

Love my iPad 2

but its time to upgrade.

It'd funny if these cases were based on a rumor site and that same rumor site reported the case as some kind of "proof" of the new iPad design.

most obnoxious watermark ever. Oh.. there is an iPad in there too.

I though the thicker border screen on the iPad - instead of the thin one like the Mini - was a good idea. In many instances you have to hold and iPad with your thumb on the screens edge. This thinner screen and border means my thumb will be on the visible screen and in the multi-touch area. This seems like it would cause problems. Unless they plan on redoing the iOS with a completely horizontal lay out?

All ios devices have the ability to prevent your thumb from accidentally doing somrthing on screen. Go check it out @ best buy or an apple store. Put your thumb on the screen and scroll or do something with the other hand.
