3G iPhone revealed in third-party case render?

Look, we're not saying this means anything, but the above rendering from iPhone case-maker XSKN sure does look like those supposed design changes we've been hearing about. You'll note the larger, more curvy back, space opened up near the earpiece for the rumored front-facing camera, and what appears to be a non-recessed headphone jack. Sure, this could be a ploy to get eyes on their pages, but even if they're citing the specs we've heard, this is still the first case design we've seen for anything other than the original iPhone.

[Thanks, Brenden]

Looks like it's a lot thicker than the first one.

Wow... someone pass the iPod 2.0 the Malox, the poor thing has got some serious bloat going on.

Apple wouldn't ever do that, there is no way. The phone would wobble when set flat. Somebody obviously "Made a Case" from the "Leaked Specs" for the iPhone. If you really think you see the iPhone 2.0 in this picture, seek medical help immediatly.

That really does just look like a mockup using 1st gen iPhone pictures (aka A Photoshop)

this is definely not real! apple.. who made such beautiful prodacts as the iphone and macbook air and and iMac.. would NEVER make something so ugly! if they can fit enough stuff into the macbook air to make it run like a mac.. which is better than a normal cpu.. they can fit 3g gps 32gb and all that into a normal phone size! besides that isnt even the real screen! thats the screen from when it first came out! its missing the youtube and itunes icons. and it still says cingular at the top left cornor! definitly fake.

i was just about to make those points too about the screen. no one else besides us saw that?

I saw that too, but that tends to happen a lot, iSkin used the original iPhone screen with "cingular" on it for a good amount of time after the phone was released.

anyone knows when Tmobile will activate 3G on the data plan ?????
it's gonna be nonsense for me to rush for the new iPhone if I can't get a 3g data.......

Still in love with my current iphone
