iPhone 5c purchasers! Thoughts / pics in here!

Still love my yellow 5C but my lass saying the green is just amazing after we saw it in store yesterday, very vibrant green !!

Would also be interested in any review of the dock as fancy one of those

No case for mine as these deserve to be naked, why cover that beauty up!!

----------

Must also comment this has been a great thread!!!
 
This thread has me wondering whether I should cancel my Space Grey 5S preorder and come to the plastic side. The phones looks so good, I am especially liking the blue, Green and yellow handsets.

I think the plastic will be more suitable to my lifestyle as I hated having to nanny my iPhone 5 before selling it in preparation for the new models.

I think a trip up to The Bullring Apple store, to have a proper look, is in order.

Just or add on to what you said: I've been to two Sprint and Apple stores in Houston, TX and checked out the C at each store. When speaking to the associates and geeks there the common reaction was that so many were wrong regarding their initial reaction to the 5C. When you get a chance go to your store and hold it, it feels amazing!

If only we could easily swap out the case. I could never decide between blue/green/yellow!

I personally liked the brown and product red cases for the 5s and hoped they would make it for the 5c. But I've used a case for my 3gs for like a month longest and took that crap off. Ruins the whole look lol. Will go naked(the phone, of course!) for the duration of the phones life :)
 
I'm just gon say as a owner of a white 5c I am glad I chose it. No buyers remorse at all . The phone is so elegant and runs great . I just think that had I been one more spot ahead in line I would've gotten two space grey 5 s's and I'm afraid I would have had buyers remorse, but with this phone there is none. It's a great phone wonderfully made. Battery life is great. Display is wonderful of course and the camera takes great pics. I'm just happy I chose it.

My fiancée has the blue one and she loves it too

Haha! Haven't got it yet, ordered off the website and it's still stuck at ready for dispatch! Cheers for the great photos though, like people have said, you did it more justice than their promo shots.

I have a gold 5s on preorder and I'm definitely considering canceling and getting a yellow/green/blue 5c. If I don't get a ship date by next Friday (27th), I may just take the leap. Keep the photos coming ! I'd really like to see pictures with the Apple cases too !!

Looks incredible! Can we get a picture of your white one? I ordered mine from Sprint on Friday and now just waiting to have it delivered I got the white but man doesn't the blue just look so incredible?
 
Dang, I want that blue one! Do you guys who upgraded from a 5 think it would be worth it to buy a 5 or a 5c, if a used 5c will be slightly more expensive?
 
My 39 yo son is getting the white one. He needs a phone with texting and occasional photo capability, and working outdoors with his hands, the fingerprint recognition stuff is of no use to him and he's got an ipad for gaming. He's going to be putting it in a waterproof sleeve anyway. The 5c is overkill for him, as it is for me. I LOVE my green one; couldn't be happier :)
 
Got a 32gb blue 5c today after taking my lumia 928 back, so far I am happy, feels good and looks great, also a fan of iOS 7, nice new look and features
 
So I brought my iPhone into my local Apple store today to get Applecare on it. Between the clerk being (apparently) inexperienced and technical difficulties with the in-store Point of Sale system it appears that I've just paid for service that hasn't been applied to my phone or Apple ID...

..urgh. Just sent an e-mail off to Apple. Here's hoping this is an easy fix.

Isn't Applecare registered for the item itself and not the apple id? I thought they do the enrolling themselves if you take the device in?

Hope this gets resolved asap for you!

Well what I meant to say by "applied to my Apple ID" is that I can log into Applecare and view all the products currently under warranty...it's just my iMac up there right now.

If I type in the serial number of the phone directly into the site it only says I have the standard one year warranty.
 
I was at the Apple Store yesterday and was able to look at these in person. Wow! For those that say this is a "cheap" phone or a "downgrade," they have not seen or held it yet. I was incredibly impressed.

I have a gold 5s on the way, but if I get tired of the fingerprint novelty within the first 14 days, I may well return it for a blue 5c.

Thanks for the pics everyone and enjoy your phones.

Oh okay. yeah that makes sense. Sorry I've never had Applecare so I didn;t know lol!
 
When I tap the apple logo on the back (or below the camera) I can hear a little rattle sound. That normal?

Thinking it's the camera.
 
So I actually found a Speck Gemshell yesterday, but I'm not thrilled with it's design. The area on the back where the makes contact with the case makes a strange oily-looking mark which is ugly as hell, the case fits the phone a bit too tightly for my tastes (making it difficult to remove), and the edges are a bit sticky (in that it would be difficult to remove from my pocket).

So yeah...back to apples hole-punch case for now and the gemshell is going back to AT&T today.

What's your guys take on screen protectors? My iPhone 4 got fairly beat up after I took the screen protector off about 2 years into its life, but I would guess some of that is from being in the same pocket as my keys...something I can try to avoid when possible. Has Apple improved the screen or otherwise added some sort of scratch-resistant coating?
