We’ve seen a lot of the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 so far but have seen comparatively little of its larger sibling that is rumored to release a little later in the fall. That might be about to change, however, because Nowhereelse.fr has obtained pictures of a new smartphone case that was purportedly designed specifically for the 5.5-inch iPhone 6. And based on the case, Nowhereelse.fr estimates that Apple’s biggest smartphone ever will have dimensions of 81 millimeters wide, 157 millimeters long and 7 millimeters thick.

In contrast, earlier leaks have claimed that the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will measure in at 67 millimeters wide, 138 millimeters long and 6 millimeters thick and we already know that the iPhone 5s features a frame that is 123.8 millimeters long, 58.6 millimeters wide and 7.6 millimeters thick. So while the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will be a full millimeter thicker than the 4.7-inch version, it looks like it will still be slimmer than the iPhone 5s.

Nowhereelse.fr can’t vouch for the authenticity of the supposed 5.5-inch iPhone 6 case but if accessory manufacturers really are getting dummies of the larger iPhone already then we can expect a stream of leaks showing 5.5-inch iPhone mockups to follow pretty closely afterward, just as leaked 4.7-inch iPhone 6 mockups have been leaking out in droves over the last month.

Nowhereelse.fr’s picture of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 case follows below.
