A word of warning to everyone, be careful with your iPhone 5 display... My
adorable out of control pup knocked my phone out of my hand / pocket and
the display shattered when it hit the road.
I took it to the Apple store thinking it would be $99 that is quoted for
all other model screen replacements (or maybe even one of the infamous "oh
you have bought a lot of stuff" complimentary fixes) but NO they do not
currently repair the glass on iPhone 5 stating that each front display and
glass is custom cut for each iPhone. My only options were to buy a
replacement phone for "cost" of $229 and/or to add Apple Care to that
purchase for $279 and would cover me for one more incident.
This raises a very good question. does anyone know of or, even better, have experience with protection accessories for the iPhone 5.
When I bought my iPhone 5, I simply bought a case that was similar to the one I had used with my iPhone 4. I really didn't give any thought to the degree of protection it gave. The main reason for using the case was to prevent scratching of the phone's case. The case also has a raised lip around the display. This helps prevent scratching of the display protector which seems to quickly result in lifting and bubbling.
I've seen "milspec" type cases advertised for huge prices which are waterproof to 6 metres and which suspend the phone in energey-absorbing buffers, but there has to be something in-between that does the job and costs something reasonable.
Apart from a case and the film screen protector, any other suggestions for protecting one of my most important possessions. As an expat. living in China, my iPhone has become indispensable for translations, directions and record-keeping.
