I wrote earlier about the rumored upcoming iPod line revamp, including pictures purportedly of the iPod nano redesign. Interestingly, it seems that some cases for the device are showing up, rather suddenly. While it’s awfully convenient for them to suddenly show up, it’s interesting that one of them, which includes 3D CADs of the reported design, has a post date of 7/14, well before the Rose post.

Click the above image to see a case design by “some unknown Canadian company.”

This isn’t the only case around the Web, there’s also this one sold by Beelan via Alibaba.

Proporta has a series of 4th-gen iPod nano cases, but no pictures.

Finally, there’s even a Craigslist post in Vancouver, but you can’t tell anything from the pictures in that post.

So, what can we determine. The only one you can really look at carefully is the first one above. And if you look that picture, as well as others at that site, it sure as heck looks like a mini-USB connector on the bottom, which makes one question its veracity.

Either way, it sure looks a lot like Rose’s picture. What do you readers think?
