It appears to have a plastic front and back rather than glass, like the iPhone 4 does. These come from href="http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&ie=UTF8&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=vi&tl=en&twu=1&u=http://www.tinhte.vn/tin-tuc-gioi-thieu-118/ro-ri-hinh-anh-thong-tin-iphone-tiep-theo-dang-thu-boi-nha-mang-781082/">Vietnamese site Tinhte, who have a href="http://www.everythingicafe.com/?s=tinhte">pretty solid reputation.
