[FONT=&quot]Following on from yesterday’s leaks of photos of what were purported to be iPhone 5 cases showing the next iPhone with a tapered back, bigger home button and bigger screen, 9to5 Mac has got its hands on what it believes to be an actual iPhone 5 case, as well as the case mold. They say that the source that sent them the case is the very same source that gave them spot-on information about the iPad 2 before it was released. Therefore, 9to5 Mac believes that the new case does, most likely, reflect the design of the next iPhone. This makes a lot of sense, as we have now seen two cases with a similar design emerge in as many days, and I can see the logic of Apple designing an iPhone 5 that looks like a smaller iPad from the back as a way of giving a uniform stye to the entire iOS range.

Shouldn't the hole on the left side (for silent/general mode) be on the other side of the case?
 
Sure, if they didn't change the location with the redesign. Think about it...

I like the iPhone 4 design better not the cheaper tapered look.
