Black Case iPhone Photo... Just a 3rd Party Cover?
An old WinandMac article reveals that the glossy black iPhone photo first revealed by iPodObserver is simply a 3rd party "protection case" for the iPhone.
The image was revisited yesterday based on claims by Engadget that the upcoming 3G capable iPhone would indeed carry a glossy-black case. The photo, however, was just given as an example, and not claimed to be the actual 3G iPhone. So, while this does discredit the original black iPhone image, it doesn't yet provide any evidence for or against Engadget's sources.
As mentioned, Engadget does not have an established track record for original Apple rumors, but claims this information comes from a "trusted source" who has had first hand experience with one.

I think we are looking for too much detail too early. It's 2 months away from release... We'll know more in a bit. Is it really worth speculating?

I hope its not a glossy back. I like the back on the current iPhone. Glossy would scratch more quickly than the aluminum backs on the iPods.

Man, I am glad this is a fake at least thus far. A glossy black back to the phone would be lame, it would show scratches and with all the current rumors about macbooks becoming aluminum, Apple should leave the phone backing aluminum.
IMHO the iphone has a sexy form factor already, I would just like more features on next phone, looks are already there. ;)

I'm glad I was going to buy the iphone when it is updated to 3g, but I was a little put off by that picture. Now I just have to wait and see what it actually looks like.
