iPhone 5 Case Scam
It is time to show "iPhone 5 case". Note that, as with other cases, they appear to offer a cutout in the top right-hand corner. What's this supposed to be for? The flash? If so , why the cutout to the top left showing both camera and flash?
Now, to tool up and turn out even a prototype is a expensive exercise therefore one would imagine, no case manufacturer would go to that cost unless they knew something others don't.
To make cases requires precise specs. To get the specifications means having a spy somewhere in Foxconn or knowing somebody who knows a spy. Or, if a rival has got the specifications, having a spy in that camp. The particular dimensions to allow a manufacturer to make a mold would be worth a lot of cash (some say up to US$200,000) "which is some temptation, isn't it? That is, of course, if whoever has got hold of the data is prepared to risk imprisonment.
Hence there has to be something in cases like these, mustn't there?
Absolutely not, in our perspective. Which case manufacturer in their right mind would disclose information which would be of use to a rival? If they have the dimensions then they are going to keep awfully quiet about it. They can anonymously make their own mold and be placed to go into manufacture far in advance of the iPhone5 release date.It's a scam then? In our perspective, definitely yes.
Does someone have the real dimensions to allow them to make a mold? Well, according to our Englishman in HK, the answer's yes. We are hoping to have more information for you within the next day or so. But what we want to see is not another Photoshopped image of a hypothetical case but of the mold or housing, itself.
