iPhone 4S Cases Already Arriving at AT&T Retail Stores [Updated]

by Cody on Sep 22, 2011

BGR is reporting that they have obtained images of some next-generation iPhone cases. But these aren’t the same iPhone 5 cases we’ve seen popping up all over Asia for the past month. They are actually for the iPhone 4S.

The tech blog received the images from a source within AT&T’s retail chain. The tipster claims they are starting to see accessories come in for the Apple’s new smartphone. The proof is in the pictures, as the new cases don’t appear to be for the current model… Read More

About Those iPhone 5 Cases

by Cody on Sep 17, 2011

It seems as though Case-Mate started a firestorm with its little publicity stunt yesterday. I call it that because whether its depiction of the iPhone 5 was accurate or not, I’m sure the company enjoyed the extra traffic.

The iPhone mockups in Case-Mate’s photos looked an awful lot like the iPad 2, and some folks didn’t like that. In fact, our very own Jeff wrote a piece about the images. But love ‘em or hate ‘em, the design can’t be too far off. And here’s why…

Why the Case-Mate iPhone 5 Mockups Are Probably Fake

by Jeff Benjamin on Sep 16, 2011

If you ask me, the iPhone 4′s design is the epitome of phone designs. It’s why we’re going on a year and a half since it was released, and there still isn’t a device that truly rivals its beauty or function.

I wasn’t really worried about Apple straying too far from this design, because in general, they tend to stick with what works for a decent length of time, e.g. the iMac, Mac Pro, etc. All of those products have basically remained the same over the past few years, sans a few minor tweaks here and there.

But then, Case-MateGate happened; purported iPhone 5 mockups along with them, and stuff just got real… Read More

Hot on the heels of the purported iPhone 5 screen protector surfacing this morning, BGR is reporting that more accessories have turned up in the next-generation iPhone department. Case-maker Case-Mate just unveiled 6 new iPhone 5 cases.

Sure, we’ve already seen several cases that are reportedly for Apple’s next smartphone. But not from a company as well-known as Case-Mate. And the phone design depicted in the pictures is better looking than anything we’ve seen so far… Read More

 

The Best Way to Entertain Your Child With Your Expensive iPhone?

by Oliver Haslam on Sep 12, 2011

There are good ideas in this world, and then there are bad ideas. Giving your $650 iPhone to a young child has to rank amongst one of the worst ideas we’ve heard of for a long while, but that’s exactly what Fisher Price wants us to do. The toy company has created a handy-dandy little iPhone case for that exact purpose.
