I'm not surprised. If these are not true to the design of the upcoming iPhone 5, they're not losing money at all. The cases probably cost little to nothing to make, and besides, plastic can always be melted for redistribution or recycling.

yeah, but the same thing happened with the ipad2. I remember laughing that they'd be in deep **** when apple decided to change the shape. A week later, the ipad2 launched.

Wow, how's that work? They are not charged for materials or labor? Amazing. Quite the business economics breakthrough.

This kind of attitude put us in this recession.

its risky business, i mean yeah the cases are cheap to produce so even if they are wrong its not a big stick to the back. however if you are right, you get to be one of the few distributes (aside from apple directly) to offer accessories, limited competition is a good thing when demand is high. That's why they soak up the risk.

I bet these fit/match.

They're consistent with all the rumors so far, especially the bit about the silent switch being moved to the other side. Keep in mind, most of the leaked "specs" so far have been from case manufacturers. Is it really that hard to imagine some of these case manufacturers get the specs early so they can produce cases that are ready on day one?

Reading comprehension is a lost art on the internet I guess.

I agree this point.Maybe they have known the design of Iphone 5,so they go to manufacture it at first!

No ?

Really struggling to figure out how confident these case manufacturers are about the new iPhone. They're definitely confident enough to start mass production, as these cases are starting to show up in the US (and even an AT&T store).

All evidence seems to point to 4S, but 5 is still a possibility in my book.

my coworker got one for $15. he said he just want to make sure he have a case when iP5 comes out.
