New set of cases for iPhone 5 show possible redesign
Yet another set of photos of alleged cases for the Apple iPhone 5 has appeared that shows a possible redesign that includes rounded edges and new placement for the device’s mute switch.

There are three cases that were posted on an online retail site, so the legitimacy of these may be in question. However there have been other past leaks that show a similar redesign which makes these a little more believable.

The cases themselves look bigger than the current ones offered for the iPhone 4. They show rounded edges as opposed to the squared design of Apple’s current flagship smartphone. The volume buttons look to be in the same spot as every previous iPhone model but the mute switch is shown on the opposite side.

The retail site has a dummy iPhone in the images of the cases. However, when shown from the back the dummy device has no flash next to the camera. The opening on the case itself looks big enough to accommodate a flash though.

Out of all the cases that have leaked claiming to be for the next-gen iPhone, one of them just has to be right eventually, right?
