MrB I invented modding! Registered: 08/28/03 Posts: 8289 Loc: SE Kansas	On the iPhone 5C. Why the "C" ? I would think about any letter except maybe , "ZZZZ" might be better. When I first heard that I thought of iPhone 5cheap Dave _________________________ There are 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Also I hope it does better than those polka dotted iMacs Dave _________________________ There are 10 kinds of people. Those that understand binary and those that don't.

Wife will probably get a 5C... she just happened to drop her 3S and cracked the glass 3 days ago ! Amazing coincidence !! (3S Phone still works but hard to read through all the cracks !) Nah really, I saw it happen - slipped out of the protective case (which needed replacing) right onto a tile floor !! Glass replacement $45... new 5C $99 (with 2X the RAM of the 3S and 5C can use 4G LTE and has retina screen). Course w 2 year contract (but we're not moving). BUT still a "no-brainer" !!

MrB I invented modding! Registered: 08/28/03 Posts: 8289 Loc: SE Kansas	I figured that they did when I wrote it. I personally thought the polka dot ones looked weird . But the school I was at during the time had coordinating colors to the plain color ones. Well, close anyway. But on the phones, I think a 5s in gold may have one waiting for me and a red leather case Dave _________________________ There are 10 kinds of people.
