Who owns a gold iPhone 5s?

Y'all are entitled to your opinion and your taste, obviously. But not in 1,000,000 years would I be caught dead with a gold iphone. It's just so tacky to me.
I wanted to see some real world pictures of the phone (still haven't seen it in person - there was only 1 at the store I waited at on launch day).
It confirmed my opinion.

i love how the champagne gold changes tone in different lighting
I know right?? In certain kinds of light it looks silver, I love that since I get bored of the same color every day
To me, its not that its tacky, but since most of us use cases that cover up the color, its almost like "what's the point?"
That's a good point. I don't use a case, but I do use Lucky Labs spectra skins, which cover the band too so I would have the same result. I usually cover the apple logo on the back and the home button, but because of the fingerprint reader I can no longer do the latter.
I haven't been using cases for about a year, but I really like the new Apple cases. I think the gold chamfer accent will look really nice around the inside edge of the case.
When I walked into the Apple store to see the gold vs the silver, I had to get up close before I was sure I had spotted the gold one. It really is subtle and not tacky.

I really like the gold, but don't think I really want to own one.
For me it's kind of like when I see a car that is unique with a unique style and color. it looks good, I can appreciate it, but wouldn't really want to own it and use it as my daily driver.

My AT&T 64 is in the air between Alaska and Kentucky right now. To be in my hands in Detroit tomorrow.
Ah, Detroit! So your phone will be worth more then the city you live in!
....oh, come on, someone has to start busting jokes about it.
Got mine this morning fresh off its trans-Pacific journey. Looks better here than I thought it did in the Apple Store when I checked it out the other day. Looks really classy, and Touch ID works great. Loving it. Now all Apple has to do is fix the accelerometer issues.
I'm surprised it took this long.
I love this region/metro area, but most folks don't go down to "the city" much. It's definitely turning around down there. Dan Gilbert is putting a lot of money and energy into it for one. I live about 30 minutes north of the city. All the pictures on the news are from a relatively small area downtown. The rest of the metro area is just like around any other city.
Anyway...
I ordered the curly maple wrap. Matches nice with the gold. Ready to get my phone...
I have two Gold 64gb AT&T that I purchased at the Apple Store.
I have two Gold 64gb T-Mobile (unlocked) that are on the way over to me. They're for sale.
@WolfSnap
How much for the 2 units unlocked?
Thank you
My wife owns one. I ordered it for her from the T-mobile website a little after 3 AM on the 20th. She just received it yesterday.
I can ship them overnight anywhere in the US; I'm thinking $1450 each. Including overnight shipping in the US. They include AppleCare+, and will ship with full insurance and signature confirmation. I'll include the receipt showing I paid full price from Apple.. They're 100% legit, and absolutely brand new.
Gold iPhone in Hand
I received the 32GB from Apple for my wife today. I like the look. It's a more more refined champagne color than something flashy. Overall she likes it. I personally like the silver, but I'm sticking with my black iPhone 5 for now.
