Earlier this month, case manufacturer Case-Mate drew some attention for promotional images that briefly appeared on its site showing cases for the rumored redesigned "iPhone 5" form factor. Case-Mate quickly pulled the page, however, replacing it with a signup form for potential customers to receive information, as well as a note indicating that the company believes that Apple will be releasing both iPhone 4S and iPhone 5 models next month.
Hope for the arrival of the redesigned iPhone 5 form factor has been waning as Apple's media event approaches with no concrete signs of the device, but BGR reports that Case-Mate's iPhone 5 cases have now appeared in AT&T's inventory database.
The entries point to three different case designs for the iPhone 5, including versions of its Barely There, Pop!, and Touch Case lines. The appearance of the cases in AT&T's inventory system is certainly not significant evidence that Apple will be introducing a redesigned iPhone 5 next week, but it is interesting that the carrier is apparently at least making the effort to arrange for offering cases based on the design.
Update: TiPb actually reported on this development over this past weekend.

iphone 5
I could tell you that my best friend works at AT&T and that he took a picture of his computer screen at work showing the inventory database..
Or i could tell you that I just made my own "inventory database" image with photoshop, took a picture with my iPhone and posted it here.
Easy as that..

As much as I'd like to believe we're getting a redesigned 5, I doubt it. More likely this is
a) real
b) real in the sense that Case-Mate went ahead with making cases to be first on the scene in case they did come out
c) real in the sense that they made them but AT&T isn't buying them... notice they are all marked 0
