Home-made iPhone 4G mold by accessory vendors

While we’re getting ever closer of an iPhone 4G launch, accessories maker worldwide, but particularly in Asia are getting busy tweaking their designs, based off this plastic mold (French site onrefaitlemac has stumbled on this). Of course, using an actual unit would seem a bit too luxurious, but here are the info that we can get from this: the mold, which looks like the recent iPhone 4G leaks, is the final design. Secondly, onrefaitlemac says that there’s a huge black market among accessories makers in Asia to get an early access to a unit… for bag of cash – we can believe that. Finally, the site explains why recent leaks come from Vietnam: Chinese companies now outsource a ton of work there because labor is so cheap.
