Purported iPhone 5 Case VS. iPhone 4, Big Difference

As we reported in these past few weeks of new cases suggesting a drastically redesigned iPhone 5, more details have now surfaced showing exactly how big of a change there is between the redesigned iPhone 5 against the current iPhone 4. By the looks of it, the purported iPhone 5 case above points to a wider and slightly longer iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4G-like form factor with a relocated silent switch.

We could be totally off the guessing game though.This case might even suggest a newly redesigned iPod Touch 5G with a large screen while keeping its steep contoured design. It would make sense for Apple to enlarge the screen size of their beloved portable gaming device. I don't feel like ditching the blocky design of the iPhone 4 for the more iPod Touch 4G-like design makes sense because of how less comfortable it is to hold.

First Purported iPhone 5 Slider Case By Ego

And we're off to the races! Reputable case companies are already producing and investing R&D time in creating cases for the unreleased iPhone 5 based on early rumors and leaks. Ego has put up the above image of what looks to be their Slide Case designed for the iPhone 5. It's very hard to tell if the case itself it just a render or an actual prototype ready to incase the most anticipated smartphone since the iPhone 4. The contours and wide form factor do match the purported iPhone 5 specs. Whatever it may be, stunning is a word that should be used. Ego hasn't released any information as of yet.

Case-Mate Starts Planning For iPhone 5 Cases

 

Case-Mate is quick to jump on incasing your brand spanking new iPhone 5 as soon as you get your hands on one. Case-Mate sounds overly confident on saying that it will be ready to offer cases for the yet to be released and unannounced iPhone 5 as soon as it's released. However, this doesn't surprise us all that much since we've seen other case manufacturers that got some inside info on the exact dimensions of what then was the unreleased iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

Will Case-Mate really deliver on its promise? Or is all of this just their way of hyping you up so that you'll sign up and hand them your email address? It's hard to say at the moment. If these leaked iPhone 5 cases hold any truth, than you'll know for sure that your iPhone 5 will be protected as soon as you get it.
