I have said this several times and I will say it again. The entire back of the phone CAN NOT be made of metal. NFC will not function if the back is all metal.
If there is a portion that is non-metallic NFC will work, but if you want it to continue to work, you will not be able to by a case that covers that portion with any sort of metal. Doesn't matter how thin the metal is.
don't care for the back; looks tacky imo. Make it a solid color/texture, or at least the way the iphone 3g was with the black part at the bottom if they must.

yea and people don't buy hand bags, cars, sunglasses, shoes, etc etc etc for looks. Nothing wrong with considering the aesthetics of a product when making a purchase as long as the specs of it are decent as well.
you completely missed the point...
And 5 looks nothing like the 4s? I assume you are talking about the renderings we have seen? To some degree i guess it can be left to interpretation, but saying they look nothing like the 4s is a gross overstatement imo.
Makes the s3 look like a plastic piece of garbage that china made.
Innovation has nothing at all to do with appearance.
Innovation is about functionality.
Broadcast NFC through front.
Broadcast NFC through edges.
Make that cutout portion glass and the edges aluminum.
Looks like poop. Black and white poop.

If this is the iPhone 5 then I definitely won't be getting it. I hate the square finish of the 4/4S but loved my curvy 3GS, it just fits the shape of your hand so much better. I might even end up with the GS 3.
