This could just be someone making an educated guess, but it looks like the first next-gen iPhone cases are now arriving in front of cameras. The more convincing comes from those of Hardmac, which received the image above direct from China. A search for the model name reveals the manufacturer, Shenzhen Soonleader Electronic Co. As you can see from the pics, it has all the right curves, a larger opening for a flash, and if you really look good, you can see the spaces for the new side buttons. This could be a manufacturer trying to get a head start on the iphone competition, but they might also know more than we think.
