Numerous photos surfaced today of cases for the upcoming iPad 5 with one site predicting that the tablet will be announced on June 18th.

Engadget got a hold of a case that shows thinner side bezels similar to the iPad mini at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair.

As before, cases for this unreleased "iPad 5" have also been making the rounds in China, and we've managed to get our hands on one at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair earlier today. It's the same old story according to a staff at the booth: the case is based on a leaked mold. Oops!





Tactus.com has also posted images of a similarly designed iPad case; however, they predict that the device will be announced June 18th and go on sale June 27th.

This is the mould for the iPads 2, 3 and 4 (blue mould) compared to the mould for the upcoming iPad 5 (green mould) which won’t even be announced until a media event on the 18th June. If you’re wondering when the iPad 5 is also set for sale, then you’ve visited the right place. The iPad 5 is set to go on sale on the 27th June, just 9 days after the big media event.

Take a look below...
