iPhone 5 case leak-a-palooza
According to M.I.C. Gadget, those iPhone 5 cases we caught a peak of earlier in the week are pretty much "everywhere" in China.
What we are hearing now is that the Chinese case makers are distributing their iPhone 5 cases.
Again, we won't know for certain what iPhone 5 looks like until Steve Jobs or another Apple exec holds it up on stage this fall, but these manufacturers certainly seem confident enough in their knowledge of Apple's iPhone 5 plans to risk their money on producing mass quantities of these Skittle-colored cases.

What size? 4.3?
5 actually
hes talking about the screen size and no it won't be 5". thats just too damn big.
lol
That's what she said.
knowing apple. 3.7. i'm hoping for at least 4 or 4.3" Like I said once you go big you can't go back to the baby sized screen
Obviously this is not for the Iphone 5. China has so many Iphone fakes, its probably for one of those. Why even post this? I like this site Rene but please please stop posting this crap....When you have a reliable source then we can get excited....
You need to calm down dude it's just a story. So what if it is or isn't thats what makes rumors fun to read.
and obviously you're a turd. this is the last site to post on this so not breaking news anyway. iP5 will be wider with 4 inch screen, thinner and slightly tapered. if you dont like the content here make your own blog or comment on the article and don't play editor please.
your name cracks me up kid.
those cases look horrendous
If the screen size is bigger it just better not be over 4 in. I think the iPhone right now is a great size, why does it need to be bigger anyways? Also why move the mute switch to the other side? I guess we will have to wait until september to be sure.
Since the demand is so high for large screen phones. Even some apple fans want a larger screen phone. Once you go large you can't go back. Sure the iPhone may have the "amazing retina display" but everything is smushed together where you can get more room on a larger screen phone.
Obviously if Apple want to sell i5 in this fall, definitely they must had started the manufacturing process in China. Of course this case makers will have enough contacts with insiders. Because it is China, not the USA. so may be this tapered design rumor might be true.
Because all Asians know each other, right? Wow.
Really hoping the iPhone 5 screen enlarges to the same size of the samsung galaxy s2, would make the iPhone even more functional
Same. As someone who wants to make the switch downsizing to a baby screen would be pathetic .
they wont be enlarging the screen, then they'd have to recode all the apps to work correctly on a larger screen, and get a bigger battery. Steve wants to improve battery not make it worst.
screen size != resolution
4 inch would work
I'm not entirely convinced that these are for the iPhone, seems more like to be iPod touch cases. Regardless you have to ask why would apple choose to move the location of the mute button and I can only think of one reason.
If the mute button somehow doubled as a 'camera' button to launch/take pictures it would make perfect sense to relocate it on the same side as the camera lens. This would reduce the likelihood of a stray finger obscuring the picture as a simple example.
Apple said a lot of things and later turned around and said another.
or have it get lost in a bar...
speaking of witch. I need a drink.
At 8 AM? You're just sad then
It's past 12:00 in the afternoon somewhere.
Exactly. I don't get why people think their time is the only time through out the world. Did they even get an education?
They tried to make Chris go to rehab he said NO NO NO
Never been to rehab. I drink but not enough to get drunk.
it may be 8M where YOU are but it was 3 am when I posted that. It's now 10:00 am right now.
Correction: We caught a peek, not peak.
This blog would likely be taken a bit more seriously if it had a more stringent review process in place.
Cry me a river.
Those look like iPod Touch cases
What makes the iPhone5 better than the iPhone4? THanks.
I concur!
i am hoping for the bigger screen as well 4+ would be nice
ps anyone seen this target rendering...looks to match the caseshttp://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/apple/iphone/iphone-5-revealed-in...
Is the mute switch on the "Wrong Side" as you say, or has it been on the wrong side the whole time?
Wouldnt apple have to adjust how the apps are viewed with a larger screen like they do with the iPad?
I just paid $22.87 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic Lumix GF 1 Camera that we got for $38.76 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 40 inch LED TV to my boss for $675 which only cost me $62.81 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentHub.com
Something is wrong. The picture must be inverted, I think. If you would place an iPhone in the case, the camera and silence button would be on the right side of the phone... Wtf? I don't think Apple would do that.
I loved all colored cases. It looks so gorgeous and trendy.
I highly doubt that these cases are for the iPhone 5. One of the featured improvements of iOS 5 is the camera. Not only that but the ability to use the Vol Up button to take pictures. Since there is not one... Highly suspect.
I also agree with the screen size staying the same or maybe getting slightly bigger. 4" might work but my big question is why? The screen currently has the best resolution of any smart phone on the market. Size does not always = resolution. Not to mention that with the current "bumber" design, you are able to set the phone down on it's back or front (for privacy).
Just my thoughts.
Re SimpleViewer and iPad compatibility we are currently working on an iPad compatible version of SimpleViewer. Stay tuned for more details!
