iPhone cases (not clones) already in China

No, those aren't iPhone clones... they are however the first of many iPhone accessories to come. Presumably without any help from Apple -- armed only with official specs and photographs taken from every conceivable angle found clogging the Intertubes -- industrious Chinese manufacturers are already churning out iPhone cases. These two were spotted at the Hong Kong Electronics and Components Fair looking for distribution. What better way to protect your cardboard cutout until late June? Hotly anticipated would be an understatement.

Wow, that silicone sleve is a sure way to keep it safe! You'll never get it out of your pocket.

Like Apple fanboys would have the iPhone in their pockets...at least the silicone case will ensure they can hold it one handed leaving their wacking hand free!

Hong Kong? I just got a Shuffle IncipioBud from Incipio and saw that they had iPhone cases for sale already here in the US.
