iPhone Would you buy the Gold iPhone 5S? - Page 2

Faterson · 10-15-2013, 05:57 PM

Put my iPhone 4 in a thin black case/kickstand when I bought it 3 years ago, and it hasn't left the case since. Even if it had a fuchsia back and sides, this wouldn't be seen. I only see the device's front-side colour and would opt for 5S Black (called "Space Grey", but fortunately, the grey back would be hidden in the cover).

Nope. I like my prepaid $80 a year cell. More money for other toys.

Same here. I think the gold looks really pretty (and would look quite nice paired with a transparent shell) but I'm not a fan of the white front (bezel visible when reading in the dark).

Gotta say though, the black iPhone 5 just looks much nicer than the gray iPhone 5S.

Got the gold for my daughter. We'll probably all get the gold one. It looks terrific, not gaudy or glitzy. The phone will be in a case so it doesn't matter. However, I expect the resale of the gold ones to be higher. Ergo, I chose gold.

Still waiting on my gold iphone, I ordered at the end of September. It should arrive by Nov 4. I went to the store to look at the colors for myself and I fell in love with the gold. So I will wait. I will put it in a case but I don't care, it would bug me if I didn't get the one I really wanted. I think a case will be better anyway because I use my phone to read on the subway all the time and I don't want to give any iphone snatchers any ideas! I wonder if the thumbprint lock will cut down on iphone snatching.

For reference, I am female but I usually prefer black and understated in my electronics. I thought I would switch it up this time, the gold looks really fresh to me.

I will most likely get this case in chocolate or jean indigo:

The chocolate case will look awesome with the gold buttons and white face. Nice choices!
