Case maker's website hammered on claim of 3G iPhone protector
The website of a little-known case maker was pounded with traffic and essentially knocked off line early Monday afternoon after it posted renderings of a so-called "iPhone 3G" protective holder and said the product was available for shipping.
Dubbed the "EXO Mask iPhone 3G," the case by maker XSKN largely resembles any one of the various protective holders already available for the first generation iPhone. However, it's gaining attention on various blogs because the large cutouts in the area of the iPhone's earpiece and speaker would presumably conform to a rumored rearrangement of the handset's sensors and lower grill design.
It should be noted that the renderings most likely represent a ploy by the case maker to generate traffic to its website and are unlikely to provide any credible insight into what may be expected next month when Apple formally unveils its first-ever 3G handset.

Here you go:
"iPhone 3"
Nuff said. Its a fake. The iPhone 3G will actually be the iPhone 2 (which will get really confusing unless they change it to iPhone v2 (version 2) and thats a 3G one.
Hahaha

I can't find where it says "iPhone 3".

First sentence of the email.

I didn't see that, but It looks more like a typo to me than anything else. If they meant iPhone 3, then I don't think there would be five references to "IPhone 3G". It could very well be fake, but that's not a very convincing reason to call it fake.
I'm having trouble recalling this ever happening before.
The IPhone 3G could be bigger for several reasons, including:
* the need for a larger battery
* inclusion of gps
* additional camera
It seems like this happened to the redesigned Nano too...guess we'll see in 3 weeks.
sjobs was over 30 mins ago, the stupid bitch can't get a 360 of his own. we had steak too. he said he would no longer be vegan and that they'll start making FUGLY ASS looking phones from now on. and releasing the designs through little known case manufacturers, such as this one.
SO I SAY REAL.
Has Apple ever introduced an updated product that is thicker than its predecessor?

That is true; however, 3G consumes more power than EDGE and therefore may require a larger battery.
These renderings do not look fake at all. According to the large opening around the speaker, Apple seems to have placed two Proximity sensors, one on each side of the speaker. The Home button looks a little odd, I wounder if it turns like a Paddle.
