Good Evening, Mac Rumors!
My iPhone 5c just finished syncing all my music via iTunes (roughly 4 hours later) so I took a couple of quick pictures before I head off to bed.
Since there were no other case options available yet I went with one of Apple's, expecting it to just be a temporary solution...but man, it's surprisingly nice. So much so that I may eventually end up picking up a pink and yellow one as well, if not the entire lineup.

I can't judge till I look at it in person but for now... You actually bought that case?? Damn. Other then that, blue 5c is very nice

Better to have a case that I may not be crazy about than no case at all.
Had a tough time deciding between white, yellow, and green. (Though I did consider getting a blue case, but that partially seemed to be defeating the purpose.)
The Pink & Blue combo looks really cool in person. Very 80s.

I handed my 5C to a bunch of people tonight. One of my buddies said "I actually think they should make all iPhones with this back... This is how iPhones should be made." This guy has a 5.
I actually disagree with him as the iPhone 4/4S is the iconic iPhone and the 5/5S is a derivative, but this supports the fact that the 5C is really well made.
----------
In my opinion, the yellow iPhone is the most "professional" looking color after white... As someone else said, it looks like a stick-in note or even legal paper. I feel absolutely fine whipping this out at my corporate job.

Great photos everyone! They look like they would be very easy to keep clean... any feedback on smudges?
Wish apple would pump out some new colors every quarter, that would be fun. Maybe some with a white front for spring.
Right now the perfect phone would be a 5c with 5s internals... here comes the 5cs

Wow, the green looks amazing, imo!!! The blue is a close second!
Coming from a 3GS I think I might pull the trigger on the 16GB Green 5C from apples online store!!
Went into a Telus retail store and held the blue 5C for a brief moment yesterday. Might go again tomorrow and play around with it a bit more and make a decision then.
I can say for sure that the phone doesn't feel cheap at all. Feels really great actually better than my 3GS, again this is just my opinion!
So, just to make sure and get the nod from the 5C buyers, should I order it? 5S is too much $ and too technology advanced for me lol. I am just a web broswer, twitter, and text message and music kind of person
Thanks! keep the pictures coming!! Loving them.

Thought I'd make a thread for those who decided to purchase a 5c today or had one delivered after pre-ordering last week.
Undoubtedly, the star of today is the 5s - and that's cool. But I'm sure there are a lot of people (like me) who opted for the 5c for whatever reason!
So for me, I loved the 5c the more I looked into it after the announcement.
Today I picked up a Blue 32GB iPhone 5c and have spent all day setting it up, sorting my music, getting to grips with iOS7 (didn't download it on my 5, wanted to wait for new phone) and generally enjoying how the phone feels!
I'm really impressed with this phone. The build quality is great, the rounded edges along with the warmer plastic make for a more comfortable hold than the 5/5s' rigid cold metal and glass. My opinion of course!
Anyway, thought I'd share some pics! I really do love this phone!
Please share yours if you can so we can get a good feel for the colour and how it looks!
About time we had some 5c lovin from people who have bought one or are interested in one!

I have a silver 5s on order, but seeing these photos and hearing what everyone thinks about the 5c I am very tempted to cancel that and go buy a green 5c instead... so tempting

badly focused but there you go...
This is very sad on my behalf, I know, but it kinda reminds me of a Stormtrooper!

These photos are all brilliant - thanks everyone who has contributed!
I love that pink one, and I'm a guy! Ha. It's such a great shade of pink.
They all look brilliant. You can see how with the right wallpaper the phone can really become individual!
I still love the yellow! Almost wish I'd plumped for that colour instead, but I do love my blue!
Keep the pics coming guys!!

Yes. I would say now is a perfect time to upgrade to the 5c. Since my 3gs, I have not been so excited about an iphone. I think the 5/5s's are lovely, but they are very industrial feeling to me and I have never been a massive fan of the rectangular, sharp looking edges or the metal casing. Even with the 4, I generally like the look, but would have preferred rounded edges, etc. I am REALLY loving my 5c...I just can't say that enough. Perfect internals for me, small bump in battery life, and a form factor I love. I'm getting that giddy feeling I haven't had since my 3gs, and I love that. GO FOR GREEN! Though you really can't go wrong with any of the colors imo.

Good to see people liking the 5c, I personally think its a cool looking device. People forget that although its a re-issued 5 its still insanely fast.

White looks awesome with that green nebula background.. But blue wins.. If only they came in 64Gb I may have parted with the 4S.. Maybe next year.

Looks awesome.. Love that wallpaper, rocking it on the 4S.

I concur with comments about the amazing 'feel in hand', the superb balance of weight and what appears to be solid build quality...
I noticed just before however whilst turning the smurf colored 5c around, the camera bezel doesn't sit flush with the plastic...on one side it sits slightly below and hence on the other side it is raised slightly above the plastic ...into by much but noticeable and when you run your finger across the camera lens you can feel the 'catch' ..it appears that it wasn't seated properly
Anyone else with a slightly uneven camera lens?

Bad idea coming into this thread.
Now I really want one despite already having a 5.

I'd swap my white 5 for a yellow 5C in a heartbeat.
I didn't notice anything like that on mine. It is all smooth and even. I'm very, very happy with my phone! 5c 32. Blue.

The back is made up of the same polycarbonate material as the white Macbooks right? Does it feel the same as that?

I have an old white macbook sitting right here - That is probably the best reference point you will find among recent Apple product... Similar glossy look but with a solid feel.
