Rumor has it that Apple’s iPhone 5 will be wider, longer, and thinner than its predecessor.

Italian blog MacityNet recently posted set of new photos of iPhone cases and claimed that these cases will fit the next generation of Apple’s smartphones.

Case manufacturers become frequent sources for Apple rumors because they make prototypes of their best guesses for potential Apple products.

The design of this new case indicates that the next iPhone has a curved back design and tapered edges with the mute button moved to the right-hand side. This new design shares more similarities with the iPod touch and the iPad2, than the iPhone 4.
