These iPhone 5 Silicone Cases Reveal a Thinner, Wider and Longer Design

Here we go again. The only way to figure out what the next generation iPhone 5 might look like is to piece together the tidbits of ‘clues’ being leaked out by sources with close connections to Apple’s supply chain in Asia. According to the latest round of purported iPhone 5 cases, sources revealed to 9to5Mac a design that is thinner, taller, and wider.

 

The biggest speculation right now is the rumoured tear drop design, and these cases reflect that ever so slightly, as the case thickens from top to bottom. The ringer switch has moved to the other side of the volume buttons, and standard 30 pin connector and speaker/mic cut outs are along the bottom. The interesting part of these cases are the speculated specifications of an iPhone 5 case 5 inches tall, and 2.8 inches wide.

The WSJ has mentioned an iPhone is coming with a larger screen, and these cases just might reflect the necessary room for that. I still want an iPhone Air though.

This sounds pretty cool to me. I mostly love Apple designs, and I think this would really freshen things up.

Everyone is taking this new “iPhone 4S/5 way to seriously. I will laugh when it turns out this is an iPod Touch case, why Apple would go to such a slim ugly design like this is beyond me. The iPhone 4 form factor is perfect, the right amount of thickness and perfect weight. Not to light and not to heavy. All I know is I’m more than happy with my iPhone 4, if this is the design of the newer iPhone, I will gladly wait until next June or September, the iPhone 4 is just that good.

Mic/speaker cut outs at the bottom means this is for an iPhone…unless they want the iPod touch to look
more like an iPhone, which is highly unlikely….apple will want some sort of differentiation between the two products

If it does turn out to be thinner and wider, it would only make sense that Apple is trying to keep up with the Galaxy S II . Plus, you’ll notice that with every new design, the iPhone does get thinner. It’s very possible at this time.
