For anybody who has a white iPhone without a case, does it still look as new as the day you have it or are the edges filled with dirt, lint or anything else. I wanna keep my phone caseless(just came from a black 5) but I don't want the edges to dirty up.
Got a tip for us?

White iPhones without cases?

Mine still looks perfect. Using the white/silver 5S. On occasion a single smudge will come from a sweaty hand, wipes right off.
Yea mines looks good now to. But I mean people who had there's for months. I.e iPhone 5 and 4s owners. I love the clean look of the white and just don't want it getting dirty. But I hate cases.
Having looked at abused iphone 5 models in an AT&T store before the launch, the challenge isn't keeping spooge off the phone, its preventing scuffs and scratches. The silver/white should be less susceptible, but consider putting a clear protector or skin on the back.
Main reason I use a case though is to make the phone less "slick" and reduce the chances of a drop. I prefer thin cases, though, and understand they provide reduced protection if it does fall. Can't stand the big thick bulky cases.

Any clear screen protectors you prefer? And yea I'm using the apple case. Love it but once in a while I'd rather have a nice naked phone. Like my 5.
I really like the Green Onions Supply Oleophobic screen protector I bought locally at Microcenter. Better than the SPIGEN/SGP and PowerSupport ones I've had on previous iDevices.
For the back, I've not yet researched them but did see someone say they're happy with one from BestScreensEver.com. I've used BSE in years past and they make good stuff, however its the wet apply vinyl stuff which sucks for the screen but is good for the back of a device. It's kept the back of my ipad3 looking brand new so far.

I clean my phone about once every 1 or 2 weeks, so mine is always clean. MINT to be precise.

What do you use to clean it?
The thing is, the only thing I clean on my phones is finger prints and lint. So I only use water and sometimes I might dab my finger in soap and water (to get that squeaky sound clean) and then towel dry. Nothing else. Looks mint/like new.
I have the old iphone 5. Age: since launch day of sept 2012. A tad over a year old.
I have never seen one of the old white ones, where the white is covered by glass discolor or look imperfect. Goes for iPads as well. 2, 2.5 year old defices as bright and brilliant next to brand new,
The new white plastic not clad in Glass 5C.... That may be a different matter.
Ah that's good to know. My brother has a dirt look in the corners. That's just what I don't want.

Will check this out, thanks
Is that the only clear case you've tried for the iphone 5/5s? How about the power support air jacket?
I have an almost mint iPhone 5 silver. Had it for 3 months, take great care of it, in case 95% of the time. There are little tiny pinhole nicks on it. About 3 of them, don't even know how they got there, hardly noticeable but still. Unless you are extremely extremely careful then dont use one but I definitely recommend one.
Very nice case. Is it hard or soft? Just good for scratches, or is it good for impact protection too?
