I'm calling BS. Otterbox has never gotten the heads up and they always produce the Defender first and not the Commuter. This ensures that people will end up buying both models... This is more than likely a photoshop (or three it seems).
Not true, otterbox produced the commuter case first before the defender for other various phones. I bought this for the htc sensation. But however I do realise how strange cases are popping up all over the place way ahead of release, im sure this never happened when the iphone 4 came out
A small amount of research on the part of the journalists who posted this on every single Apple website would make each and every article slightly pointless.
"Of course were making a case for it! Like everyone else, were waiting to find out exactly what it is. Were eagerly anticipating the moment Tim Cook steps up to the podium to enlighten and delight us all. Whatever it turns out to be, well have iPhone 4s cases or iPhone 5 cases for you!

WELL DONE!
The volume buttons used to be on the left side of the iPhone. The Otterbox photo shows that it's now moved to the right side of the phone. This allows the camera to be oriented up when using the volume button as a shutter release button.
