Loads of iPhone 5 Cases Point Towards Thinner Design

As we've reported in the past, there are tons of leaked iPhone 5 cases out there. M.I.C. Gadget has reported that all kinds of alleged iPhone 5 cases are everywhere in China. It seems that more and more iPhone 5 parts and cases leak everyday, and they all point to a thinner design.

The iPhone 5 is expected to be "thin as an iPod Touch," which is a pretty bold statement. Could Apple really fit all those components in that thin of a package? Maybe...

Hard Shell Cases for the iPhone 5 Leak

A while ago, we reported that purported iPhone 5 cases have gone on sale. Today, the same thing has happened.. again.

MacRumors found this out when case manufacturer True Supplier started selling iPhone 5 cases. The cases look very similar to the other "leaked" cases out there, giving another hint at the iPhone 5's design...

This is What the iPhone 5 Could Look Like

I know we've said this before, but these renderings of what Apple's upcoming smartphone may look like may truly be some of the best we've seen. The iPhone 5 is one of the most anticipated devices in recent years, and artists have made several attempts to predict its design.

But this particular concept wasn't constructed from pure imagination. No, this design was built using the measurements from the leaked cases that we've seen floating around. Given that case leaks have been fairly accurate in the past, could this really be what the next iPhone looks like?

Purported iPhone 5 Case Leaked

Yesterday, we showed you some renderings of a purported iPhone 5 case, leaked by a Chinese accessory manufacturer. Today, we don't just have drawings- we have an actual product.

9to5Mac just published photos of what they believe to be an actual iPhone 5 case. The accessory matches previous reports that Apple's next smartphone will sport a thinner design, with a curved back and a larger display...

Hilarious Target Ad “Leaks” the iPhone 5

We're not sure whether the iPhone featured in this Target ad is the work of a smart jokester in the retailer's art department, or whether someone has inadvertently leaked an image of the iPhone 5, but either way, this is interesting — especially because it seems to tie in with those iPhone 5 case designs we published earlier.

As you can see from the picture above, the iPhone in this image shares some resemblance with the iPhone 4, however, in some ways it's different. Most notably because of those curved edges and curved back, which seems to taper towards the bottom.

Alleged iPhone 5 Case Hints at Buttonless Device, Curved Back, Bigger Screen

A new prototype case for the alleged iPhone 5 has leaked via a Chinese accessory manufacturer working in conjunction with Foxconn. This case design comes from MobileFun, a UK-based site that claims to have received this information through its supply chain sources overseas.

If this alleged case design for the upcoming iPhone 5 is representative of the rumored device's design, there will be several major aesthetic changes made to Apple's next iPhone— a curved back, larger screen, and possibly even a totally buttonless design...

Apple Reportedly Testing Next iPhone Model in iPhone 4 Enclosure

With rumors of an 'iPhone 4S' device heating up, it's also developed into a general consensus that Apple will release not one, but two iPhone models in the coming months.

One of these devices is expected to be an incremental design and hardware upgrade from the iPhone 4, and feature an edge-to-edge screen with a slimmer and lighter overall build. Apple is reportedly testing this next gen iPhone model in iPhone 4 enclosures for secrecy, in the same way that the company tested the iPhone 4 in a 3GS casing...

New Case Suggests New Features for the iPhone 5

Next-generation iPhone rumors are like cute girls on an elevator; there's always room for one more. With little known about Apple's next smartphone, all we have to go on is the gossip.

The latest tidbit comes from GadgetsDNA, who have come across an "iPhone 5G" case on an online retailer's website. Kulcase LTD makes cases for smartphones and apparently they can predict the future...

Spotted iPhone 5 Prototype With Metal Back Suggests a More Durable Design

A report claims that iPhone 5 prototypes have been spotted at Foxconn, and new intel confirms that the device will have a very similar design to the iPhone 4. Although the form between the two devices will remain similar, there should be two major design changes to set the iPhone 5 apart from its predecessor.

We've already heard that there will be a larger display, and a new rumor claims that the iPhone will have a metal back. This isn't the first time we've heard about Apple ditching the easily-breakable glass of the iPhone 4 for something more durable...

Alleged iPhone 5 Cases Point to iPhone 4 Design With Larger Screen

Some new cases have surfaced on Alibaba that claim to be designed for Apple's unreleased and unannounced iPhone 5. These iPhone 5 case listings, alongside similar designs from Hard Mac, point to an iPhone 5 design that is very similar to the iPhone 4's.

If these cases are legitimate, the iPhone 5 will not be as significant of a redesign as speculation assumed. However, it is also noted that these cases lend credence to a slightly larger screen...
