New video compares alleged iPhone 6 case to iPhone 5s, Nexus 5, and Galaxy Note 3

A new video published by Unbox Therapy provides a closer look at an alleged third-party case for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 6 that was recently shown off in a set of photos. The case’s design definitely falls in line with previous leaks and rumors that we’ve reported on, but could be a manufacturer’s attempt to take a risk and get ahead of the game.

The video below compares the case’s design to the iPhone 5s, Nexus 5, and Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Surprisingly, the case’s layout almost lines up perfectly with Google’s Nexus 5, which gives us a good idea of the iPhone 6’s overall form-factor if the leaked specifications used to manufacture this case are correct.

As we’ve previous reported, this iPhone 6 case features a very slim design, oblong volume buttons, and what appears to be a relocated sleep/wake button. The positioning of the power button on this case puts it right where your thumb would rest and is perfect for a larger device.

Check out the video below:

Previous rumors suggest that Apple has plans to release a 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6, but according to a recent claim, the rumored 5.5-inch variation may be delayed due to battery manufacturing complications thanks to the device’s slim body style.

In case you were curious, the image above shows the measurements of this case. There’s no way to tell if the case featured in this video is legitimate, but the design does match previous leaks and rumors. Though we won’t know for sure until Apple’s iPhone 6 is launched alongside a massive Q3 rollout later this year.

    A very interesting video for Apple fans.

    That’s a lot to draw from a case that is possibly legitimate.

    Why would it be?

    Very interesting. The iPhone 6 is bigger than the Galaxy yet the 4.7 inch is almost a half inch smaller than the Galaxy. It’s also very wide. I may have to take a second look at the HTC One or just wait for the 5.5 iPhone 6.

      no the case is not in anyway bigger than the Galaxy, watch it again.

      I like this size if it is real. I like it alot

  4. No headphone jack spot on the case ? seem like an odd thing to forget doesn’t it .

      The headphone jack on the iPhone 5s is next to the small microphone grill. This alleged iPhone 6 case seems to have enough space to accommodate those two in the single opening on the bottom left side.

  5. If that’s the size of the iPhone 6, I’d be happy with it. It looks a little like a Galaxy phone, but I guess that’s what happens when the screen gets bigger.

    Welcome to the first world.

    If this case turns out to be a true reflection of the next iPhone, what are the chances of Samsung trying to say Apple are copying their phones with the layout of the hardware buttons? Since moving the power button to where this case suggests it will resemble that of most Samsung devices in the galaxy range
