This has been an expensive phone.
Phone itself $399
ATT upgrade fee $36
Incase Slider $35
Extra Lightning Cable $20
30 pin dock to lightning adapter cable (for my iHome) $40
Haven't ordered it until I can test the lightning cable, but I'm going to pick up the regular adapter too, to use it in my car... $30
... $560 for my 64GB iPhone 5 Black.
Am I happy with it? Hell yeah. But smartphones aren't a cheap hobby!

I am just as bad about that too! I had AT LEAST 6 or 7 different ones. I want an otterbox anthem defender for my work phone next... that way it can handle when I am at different build sites.
Get them to waive the upgrade/activation fee... or whatever it technically is called
Log onto AT&T's website, click on the support tab, click live chat (on the right hand side), and click billing chat...
And say something like:
"Hi, I was told by an ATT representative that I can have the activation fee for my new iPhone 5 taken off of my bill and waived. As an AT&T customer, I do not think I should have to pay an additional $36 for a phone I spent $399 on already. Could you please take care of that for me?"

The Candyshell scratched? That is the case I bought for my phone that I don't have yet
How bad was the scratching/where did it scratch?
The Candyshell scratched? That is the case I bought for my phone that I don't have yet
it doesn't scratch the phone but the actual case itself scratches.if you have the black one that has a shine it will look like crap after about 2 days.the matte one is better .
