3G iPhone To Be Shorter, Thinner Than Griffin 3G iPhone Case
Submitted by Edward Kirk on June 5, 2008
Last week we saw photos of what appeared to be metal molds for Griffin's FlexGrip silicone iPhone case for the 3G iPhone.
If new information from Ideals China is correct, then Griffin could be in trouble. They claim to have word from an insider source
that the 3G iPhone will be just a little bit shorter and thinner than the shells that have been circulating China,
meaning that their case has the wrong dimensions.
Below is a representation of the two specifications. In blue is the dimensions of the Griffin case, and the new rumored dimensions are in black.
The new dimensions are 2.0mm shorter and 0.5mm thinner than Griffin's case design, meaning that either the rumors are fake or Griffin
will have to revise their case design. It would also mean that Griffin has wasted a lot of time and money, and they have tens of thousands
of silicone cases that don't fit anything. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes right now if this turns out to be true.
