It is time to show "iPhone 5 case". Note that, as with other cases, they appear to offer a cutout in the top right-hand corner. What's this supposed to be for? The flash? If so , why the cutout to the top left showing both camera and flash?
Now, to tool up and turn out even a prototype is a expensive exercise therefore one would imagine, no case manufacturer would go to that cost unless they knew something others don't.
To make cases requires accurate directions. To get the directions means having a spy somewhere in Foxconn or knowing somebody who knows a spy. Or, if a rival has got the directions, having a spy in that camp. The precise dimensions to allow a manufacturer to make a mold would be worth lots of cash (some say up to US$200,000) "which is some temptation, isn't it? That is, of course, if whoever has got hold of the information is prepared to risk imprisonment.
So , there must be something in these cases, mustn't there?
Definitely not, in our view. Which case manufacturer in their right mind would communicate info which would be of use to a competitor? If they have the dimensions then they'll keep very quiet about it. They will secretly make their own mould and be positioned to go into produce well in advance of the iPhone5 release date.It's a trick then? In our view, definitely yes.
Does someone have the real dimensions to allow them to make a mold? Well, according to our Englishman in HK, the answer's yes. We are hoping to have more information for you within the next day or so. But what we want to see is not another Photoshopped image of a hypothetical case but of the mold or housing, itself.
