Apple's product lines follow a black/white/gray color scheme. Gone are the days when Apple releases products in funky colors - this should surprise no one. If you're really serious about personalizing and customizing your phone, you should do so - but aesthetically speaking, I'd prefer Apple continue to only release their products (phones in particular) in black and white only.

Obnoxious, waste of money, no.

This is one of those instances where your taste, style, preference, etc., is just wrong if you think this is a good idea.

$250 is infinitely worth spending elsewhere.

It's all personal opinion. It looks pretty sweet but I'd rather keep my phone looking original :)

Mine arrived from Apple with it's own unique array of scratches & scuffs. All for free.

Apple is an amazing company. Shipping random quality as though we are buying used off eBay.

Silly me, I thought I ordered a new phone from Apples online store. Little did I realized I get something so odd looking.

I'd make it look better than the random non-matching colours those companies use as examples. Black and red, for example, would look ****ing sick.

You raise a really good point - I completely fogot about their iPod touch/nano line which I find ironic, considering that originally, their iPods were only released in one color (white).

I was mainly referring to products like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMac_G3

But you're right, some of their products do allow for a wider customization of color schemes. I think Apple constricted that ability when they also changed their logo from a rainbow Apple logo to either black, white, or silver Apple logos.

If they kept the rainbow scheme on the logo it will be too gay

The all gold iphone looks pretty good, but not worth it.

I really like it, however, I'm not keen on spending $250 and sending my phone away for a week or more. It just seems really expensive unless you're going to hold onto your phone for a long time - and I don't have a spare phone to use in the meantime.

^This.

Plus I'd be nervous about voiding the warranty.

$249...no sorry. I don't think it is worth it especially when the phone itself scratches easily.

Looks like a cool idea, though.

I was looking at these and realized that the black iPhone 5 is my favorite anyway.
