The white one is just sexy. I'm gonna name her Fiona when I get mine. After exchange of course.

With all the banged up, smashed, scuffed, and bent iPhone 5's on this forum you may be reconsidering the purchase of an iPhone 5. In reality its usually just the bad stuff that gets posted on a forum. I look at some of the pics and if I didn't already have 2 perfect phones they may well put me off.

So in light of that I present both my black/slate and silver/white models (which have been used naked I might add) for your viewing pleasure! If you look after the gadgets you own, then THIS is what you can expect to see, enjoy :D:

Im not planing on going naked for good though (no point in tempting fate!) so here is the case that I will be using. I'm really fussy about my cases and wont use shells etc as I have seen these actually scratch the sides of phones when taking on and off. This case is super soft inside, and the pull flap magnetically closes when the phone is inserted:

Black iPhone 5 looks soooo damn gorgeous!!! Just like driving a sexy black car! I'm so glad I got black. The white one is nice too but doesn't look much different from a white iPhone 4/4s. But the black one looks substantially different!
 
in process

Wow, that is a fantastic idea. It looks a lot like the original iPhone, whose design is still one of my all-time favorites. I'm now convinced that a black iPhone 5 with raw aluminum would have been excellent. Now I'm confused which color I should buy.
 
What's up with that cigarette pack holder you have your iphone in? :eek:

Around these parts we like to call them a leather smartphone pouch/slipcase ;)

It allows me to go naked but still protect the phone when I'm on the go. You should have seen my 4S just before I sold it, still looked like the day I first opened the box :)

Where did you get the leather pouch for the phone?
 
Wow, that is a fantastic idea. It looks a lot like the original iPhone, whose design is still one of my all-time favorites. I'm now convinced that a black iPhone 5 with raw aluminum would have been excellent. Now I'm confused which color I should buy.

once the front screen is available ill do the swap for black. should look really good.
 
pulling out iPhone from the pouch hundred times a day is a bad idea for me, because my iPhone 4S was slipping out while i tried to pull it out. so i don't want to use any more pouch ever.
 
LOL I walked 10 steps out of the apple store without opening my iphone's box, opened infront of the zagg invisible shield kiosk, and now I have protected phone that's screen hasn't ever been touched by anything ;) haha

Yeah that can happen with certain pouches. Especially when you have used them for a long time. My 4S pouch was made by 'Exspect' however they are not making one for the iPhone 5. Excellent case but it did get a bit too loose after about a year and it had no flip over pull strap to hold the phone in.

I prefer the design where the pull strap flips over the opening when not in use, so even when it loosens up it still cant fall out.
