Ooh the big tease. A picture from the iPhone 5's camera has already leaked, now the handset itself might have just give us a cheeky flash, courtesy of a case maker's website. But you had to be quick to catch it.

This is from a screengrab from Case-Mate's website, on a page for an iPhone 5 case. And you know what's telling? Case-Mate yanked the page pretty soon after it went live, hinting to us this could be a genuine slip.

The page was labelled iPhone 5 Barely There Brushed Aluminum Cases and purported to show the back of the forthcoming Apple device. Not much of the device was actually revealed — if it was the iPhone 5 and not a render — but it does appear to have a new body shape, if the images are correct. It appears to have a slim profile and tapered edges, as opposed to the iPhone 4's design. Back in July, another case maker leaked what looked like a radically different design from the iPhone 4, so these would square with that. Hmm.

"The focal point of the iPhone 5 case is the striking nature of the brushed aluminum inlay," the page read, before it was pulled. All that's left is a landing page toting Case-Mat's upcoming cases for the "iPhone 5/iPhone 4S" with no details given.

Rumours are reaching fever pitch, with Orange's boss today saying the iPhone 5 will touch down on 15 October. If the rumours are to be believed, the iPhone 5 will have a larger screen and an improved camera

Maybe they'll go retro and make it a house brick, lol. In fact from what i've seen of some of my friends iphone's they'd do just as well to put a house brick in the box instead, lol.

Seriously though. From what i've heard on the net, the spec of the new iphone could fall short by comparison with it's current rivals. Not only that, but apparently there have been problems on the production line which could cause shortages until 2012. So expect a very hefty price tag on the new wave when they're finally released.
