Cases allegedly for the iPad 5 are starting to surface on Alibaba, reports AppleBitch. The shape of these cases suggests Apple will make the next generation iPad look more like the iPad mini.
The cases, specifically touted for the as-yet-unannounced iPad 5, show a similar design to those revealed in the initial report, indicating that they have been engineered for an iPad with squarer edges that the current generation iPad. The new cases also contain an additional hole in the top center of the case, likely for a microphone, as well as slots for speakers positioned either side of the Lightning connector instead of just on one side.

The same way Samsung does with all their devices. They look exactly the same. Either bigger or smaller. At least apples devices look good and have some style.
