Spigen introduces new cases for 4.7-inch iPhone 6

Cody Lee ∙ Updated May 10, 2017

We've seen a handful of alleged iPhone 6 cases in the past few months, but for the most part they've been nameless one-offs. Today, however, major accessory-maker Spigen has thrown its hat into the proverbial next-gen ring with new Thin Fit and Thin Fit A cases.

For those unfamiliar with Spigen, it's an Irvine, California-based company that makes cases, screen protectors and various other accessories for smartphones and tablets. And clearly, it's very confident that it knows what Apple's next handset is going to look like...

Alleged case for 5.5-inch iPhone 6 surfaces

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 17, 2018

Given everything we've seen thus far, it seems likely that the iPhone 6 is going to come in two flavors: a 4.7-inch model and a 5.5-inch model. Most of the alleged leaked cases and renders that have surfaced in the last few months, however, have just been for the former.

But today, photos of a new case popped up on the web believed to have been made for the 5.5-inch model. Our friends over at Nowhereelse.fr share the images, which show a physical mockup of the alleged handset in the snap-on case, sitting next to a 4.7-inch version...

Case maker’s iPhone 6 renderings show thin design, rear antenna cutouts

Cody Lee ∙ April 26, 2014

A new set of alleged 'iPhone 6' renderings surfaced online yesterday. The images come from Ukrainian website UkrainianiPhone, and the device depicted in them matches up with most everything we've seen thus far on the handset, including its relocated Sleep/Week button and circular iSight flash.

There is one noticeable difference, though, between this iPhone 6 model and the ones that we've seen in the past, and it has to do with the rear shell. Up until now, all of the renderings we've seen have shown a solid back cover. But these new shots suggest that Apple is leaving breaks for the antenna...

Alleged iPhone 6 case compared to Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 3 in new video

Cody Lee ∙ April 24, 2014

We don't know if they're real or not, but a number of cases supposedly made for the next iPhone have surfaced online in the past few weeks. It seems like they are all based on the 'iPhone 6' schematic drawing published last month, depicting a thin handset with rounded corners and a large display.

Today we get a better idea of the purported device's size thanks to a new comparison video by Unbox Therapy. The clip shows how one of these iPhone 6 cases stacks up against other popular smartphones—including the iPhone 5s, Nexus 5 and the Galaxy Note 3—in terms of various measurements...
