Ebcases jumps gun with iPhone cases

Not willing to wait until the official release, Ebcases today unveiled a pair of cases that it promises will fit the upcoming iPhone. The pictured eNOVO flip case uses a novel magnetic latch to keep the lid firmly in place and protect the screen. Owners can holster the phone through a belt clip and will also sync through the Dock Connector without removing the Apple handset from its protection.

In turn, the eCopilot pouch is tested with the iPhone's dimensions and can also support other high-profile phones such as the Motorola Q or Samsung BlackJack. A multipurpose design, the case can either be worn through a belt clip or carried with a bundled handstrap.

Both cases are made out of semi-rigid Napa leather. Colors vary by model: the pouch is available only in a single rouge shade, while the flip case can be ordered in a conservative black or brown as well as blue, green, pink, or red. The eCopilot and eNOVO ship in just over two weeks from Ebcases at normal prices of $37 and $60 respectively, though each are currently offered for as little as $27 and $40 each. [via iPhone Freak]
