I'm all for leaks and rumors... but can we stop making every render that crops up on the internet front page news?
I used to have a case on my 6S for a while, took it off one day and admired how thin and nice in the hand the phone actually was. Haven't used a case on it since. I feel the same about screen protectors, never have used one of those. I'd always feel like it would detract from the screen quality if I put one on. I think one of the reasons people do this is for resale value. That and not wanting to risk the possibility of dropping and smashing their expensive phone which I can understand. But on the flip side, babying it like that feels like you can't truly enjoy it and appreciate the design which you payed so much for.
For me, the rounded, slippery metal backs in the thin frame of modern iPhones would prevent me from truly enjoying one without a case. Partially because of the drop risk, but also because it is simply a bit stressful (not sure about the right wording here, non-native speaker) to keep a firm grip and use it naturally.I used to have a case on my 6S for a while, took it off one day and admired how thin and nice in the hand the phone actually was.

so a render of a case is on a render of a phone and we call legit?
OH, OK.....lol
The idea has been floated several times that the notch will be visible on the lock screen but not in most other situations. The HomePod firmware revealed that iPhone 8 glyph with the notch, meaning there must be situations where that notch is visible, otherwise that glyph couldn't be used to identify the iPhone 8. Being only on the lock screen, it won't bother people most of the time, yet be still shown regularly enough to serve as a distinguishing mark.The cutout on the top will be blended with the display like the image below, not like on the render. The case looks fugly.
Those cases are for max protection. If your phone is a work tool, you're clumsy, or just want to maximize resale value cases from companies like UAG, OtterBox, etc. are the thing to have. I fit none of the categories I listed. I just like heavy duty cases. To each his own.That case is probably the ugliest damn thing I've seen in a while. Why put that phone in that stupid case?
Um no. And those corners look horrible.The cutout on the top will be blended with the display like the image below, not like on the render. The case looks fugly.
Edit :- Like this one :-

View attachment 712099 At least it's pulling off the case look better than the S8 lol
Instead of an expensive case, I will purchase insurance.
I’m already caseless on my 7+ and don’t regret it - looks better than with any case.

Same as with the 7 last year and the lack of headphone port etc, all these leaks / renders are pointing the same way.
We can be confident that this is the new iphone.
Make it plastic too! that was the only phone i had that i felt comfortable going caseless. I go caseless with my SE now, but its too slippery.I picked up an iPhone 5C the other day and they feel sooo nice in the hand. I just wish they'd make one that size, but with the narrow bezels of the new iPhone. Would have basically the same screen size as an iPhone 6, but in a much nicer to hold shell.
I was holding an iPhone 4S today and I can definitely agree to that, it's so nice to have a phone that just fits in your hand. If they could give me a 4.7" screen in that phone i'd be sold.
