Should I use a case for my iPhone 5?

I have the iPhone 5 with AppleCare+.  I am very carefull with all of my Apple products.  I love the design of the iPhone 5, but am sadly using a case right now.  Should I leave it on or take it off?

The black/shale verion of the Iphone 5 has reported as easily stratched so if you have this version, then I would use a case. There are some nice cases that have holes in them for the Apple logo, etc at the rear and the Iphone 5 versions are out. I have seen a nice brushed aluminium and black cash which went onto the Iphone 5 nicely... it was very chic indeed and the Apple logos were very visable. That said, if you have a silver and white version and are careful, you should not need a case with it IMO. Those versions are better QC on it. I believe Apple have upgraded their QC on the hardware production due to scratch compliants which has being successful despite a strike and riot by 4000 workers making them in central China whose beef was not being trained properly on it. Turns out, the actual trigger for the strike was being made work through a Chinese national holiday week which normally sees businesses close down...
I have ordered my new black/shale version of the Iphone 5 and will get it early november, I expect it to be pre upgrade of the QC but as far as scuffing is concerned, its only in a small % of models which Apple found unacceptable and I hope Im not one of those folks getting a scuff prone phone. If I am, Ill be back to Apple looking for a new one that is upto their standards of quality and mine. For the price, I would expect nothing less..

  • Who uses a case for their iPhone 3GS?

    I have a case I've been using just to protect the back of my iPhone. I'm thinking of taking it off and just going naked (the phone that is).
    Anyone have any problems with their naked iPhone in their pocket? Any scratches? Just wondering.
    Thanks.

    Has long as you do not have coins or keys or the like in your pocket, then your iPhone should not get scratched while in your pocket.
    I have a leather case for my iPhone (this one)

    It doesn't add any additional bulk to the iPhone and it just gives the iPhone a cover of the front, back, sides, it also has a soft velveteen interior. I can highly recommend the case.

  • Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Can I use the iPhone 5s case for the iPhone 5?

    Do cases made for iPhone 5 also work with iPhone 5s?
    While iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s have the same shape and size, the camera and LED flash are different. So cases made for iPhone 5 may affect the camera operation on iPhone 5s, and vice versa. When shopping for cases, you should choose one specifically made for the iPhone model you own.

  • If I buy a lifeproof nuud case for my iphone 5 can I also buy a screen protector such as an amzer and use it aswell I have had a lot of screens break from little falls out of my pocket

    If I buy a lifeproof nuud case for my iphone 5 can I also buy a screen protector such as an amzer and use it aswell I have had a lot of screens break from little falls out of my pocket

    The Lifeproof case will provide reasonable protection from accidents and liquid intrusion. Screen protectors themselves provide essentially no protection, other than from minor scratches.
    You can use the ones Lifeproof included, or less expensive ones. The cheapest ones you can find on the market are adequate. More expensive ones don't do anything better. Some can damage the glass, which won't be covered under AppleCare.
    It's practically impossible to apply any of them without trapping a piece of dust.
    None are really required.

  • Has anyone used an Otterbox Commuter Case for the iphone 4s on an iphone 4?

    I want to get a new case for my iphone 4 and have previously had an Otterbox Commuter Case which I loved due to it's dust covers for the headphone and charger sockets. I much prefer the look of the new commuter case for the 4s around the camera and flash over the one for the 4 and was wondering whether anyone had put their 4 into the 4s case?
    If so, is it ok?
    Is there another similar case that has the plugs for the sockets that I'm not aware of?
    Thanks, Niki

    You can put your iPhone 4 in a 4S case and it will work just fine. You shouldn't put a 4S in a 4 case (like the Otter Commuter) since the camera sensors are different.

  • Should the opening of a case for the iphone 4s be big to allow more light in or it does not make a difference?

    I got an otterbox case for the iphone 4. It is a universal case. The opening for the camera is small I was wondering if this would affect the quality of the pictures. Please advise.
    Thank you!!

    Try resetting the phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Then, launch iTunes & connect your phone...what happens?

  • How can i get a brand new case for my iphone

    I NEED TO GET A BRAND NEW CASE FOR MY IPHONE BECAUSE MY IPHONE IS DENTED ON THE BACK AND SCRATCHES ALL OVER THE PHONE, IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME I WILL APPRICIATED.

    You can start by not using all caps - using all caps on the internet is considered as SHOUTING and hopefully you didn't intend to be shouting at all those who read your post.
    When you say case, do you mean the iPhone casing itself?
    If so, you can contact AppleCare for a quote to repair this damage which won't be cheap. I believe there are some 3rd party repair facilities available that will do the same won't be cheap but maybe somewhat less than what Apple will charge.
    Or purchase a case for the iPhone to cover the dents and scratches and to protect it from additional damage with future drops.

  • Has anyone got their Vaja case for their iPhone 4 yet?

    I just got mine and am disappointed. I've bought probably a half-dozen of their cases for earlier iPhones and iPods and have liked them.
    This one doesn't fit well though. The part that folds over the screen doesn't fit tightly enough so that it is very easy to slide it off enough to one side or the other to the extent that it doesn't protect the screen.
    Too bad, waited almost 2 months and now this . . .

    I bought mine at the Vaja store in Paris while there on business. I got the sleeve-model. It is just gorgeous, if way too expensive. BUT within three days, it was too large and too loose and the iPhone 4 just slides right out while it is in your pocket. It's probably better for women who might place it in their purse in a pocket where it isn't going to slide around - but it is unsafe and unusable in a pants pocket. Sadly, I can't return it to Paris...I use it, but only when I can carry my iPhone in my inside suit breast pocket - otherwise, I use an older case for my pocket. Oh well.

  • Should I use dynamic SQL for simple updates?

    Please tell me, out of the two options given below, which option should i use to update columns in a table and why?
    what will be the performance difference between the two approaches?
    Please note: The options given below is just for an example
    procedure proc1(var1 varchar2)
    is
    begin
    update tab1 set col1 = var1;
    commit;
    end;
    procedure proc1(var1 varchar2)
    is
    sqlstr varchar2(1000);
    begin
    sqlstr := 'update tab1 set col1 = :v1';
    execute immediate sqlstr using var1;
    commit;
    end;
    Thanks

    Performance is not the issue (as long as you are using bind variables).
    But with dynamic SQL, you loose compile time checking; you do not know until runtime if the SQL is valid.
    You also loose the dependency between proc1 and tab1, which can be found only if you search user_source.
    (And in either case, you probably want to remove the commit)

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.
