$700 iphone
OP doesn't even use an iPhone, his past posts say he's an Android user. Thread is just flame bait.
Unlocked perhaps?Last time I checked, the iPhone was $199 for the base 16GB and $399 for 64GB. Where is this $700 figure coming from? The iPhone (16GB) cost $196 to make and the 64GB cost $245 to make, way off from $700... Just saying...
I use and Android too. Alongside an iPhone 4S.
Unlocked perhaps?
Most aren't unlocked, but possibly. The average person is most likely going to have an on-contract iPhone.
By any phone off contract and most run that highLast time I checked, the iPhone was $199 for the base 16GB and $399 for 64GB. Where is this $700 figure coming from? The iPhone (16GB) cost $196 to make and the 64GB cost $245 to make, way off from $700... Just saying...

Seeing as no contract phones run way more than $700, I say he was being conservative.
The average user probably is on contract that doesn't change the fact the most expensive off contract phone is $850.
I wonder if the iPhone 5 will be glass. I'm currently using a Blackberry and I drop the phone so many times that it is still in good condition. Even last night I did - I was talking to my friend and I dropped the phone. I have very butter fingers. I'll check out the cases though
Your phone is in good condition because you drop it?
Could you not read my last post? Let me bold it for you.

That's my entire point. Why was your phone in your hand while you were recycling? No pocket/purse/briefcase ect to put it in? Did you really need to have your phone with you while doing your recycling?
and the bulge is unattractive.
I've found that the ladies like a bulge
Half the people here sound like the kids at school who mocked me for wearing a bike helmet when I went cycling.
"Why are you wearing a helmet?"
"Incase I fall off or crash"
"Just don't fall off or crash then"
You can't just say "be more careful". The ammount of times my iPhone has fallen out of my hands, or slipped out when I was holding it.
I've escaped so far unscathed.. however I believe it's only a matter of time based off the amount of times it drops out of my shirt pocket when I bend over. I have a clear plastic coating on it.. but I refuse a huge Ottercase or whatever.
This example is extremely flawed. It is much more dangerous to ride bike, especially near streets with cars/trucks, than it is to HOLD A PHONE. So yes, wear a helmet when you are riding a 35 lb piece of metal near 5000 lb vehicles, but no, you don't need a case for a phone if you are careful with it.
You know how you check both ways while riding a bike before crossing the street? Same thing. When you want to grab something, FIRST CHECK "am i also holding my phone?" If so, put the phone down or in your pocket. THEN grab that sammmmmmich!!

again, shirt pocket may be convenient but it is a foolish way to "protect" a $700+ piece of technology from harm since you can bend over and it just fall out and break. You can't do that with a pants pocket unless you are jumping on a trampoline or something...
