I still haven't had much time to play around with it yet but I'm not really seeing anything different/better than my Galaxy S4 yet, other than the fact that I like the virtual keyboard a little better, and Siri seems a little more intelligent (and is better at understanding my voice) than the Android equivalent thing whose name I forget.

Oh, also... someone recommend me a case.  My company used to get holsters with all of the corporate BBs but decided when switching to iPhone that cases were a 'personal decision' so is leaving that up to us (I can expense it though).  I want a holster like with my Blackberry, since I carry my Android in my pocket and carrying two smartphones in the same pocket is a bit ridiculous.

I still have my BB so right now I am wearing that on my belt and carrying a smartphone in each of my front pockets.  I'm Batman. :cool:

Please be more specific.

A thousand fashionistas and would-be fashionistas cried out in horror and then were silenced.

I honestly don't see many iPhone holsters on the shelves, and I don't think I've seen one worn by anyone ever.  The trend has been more toward merging wallet and phone case, which I find helps temper a mild cell phone addiction with a little uneasiness about pulling all the money and license out every time to check every single notification that goes through.

Do you want a sturdy case?
I've been using Otterbox defender cases since my 4 as working outdoors often means have dropped it on occasion. The otterboxes come with a holster.
My dad just bought 5s and bought Lifeproof as he wanted a waterproof, dustproof and snowproof case.

Yep.  I have an Otterbox Defender for my Android and like it, so I may just get the same thing for the iPhone.  I check (and receive) email constantly so I figure I should have something that protects the phone too since I pull it out of the holster so much.

I want a phone that will shock my genitals. I think I might have found one.

I thought about buying a case for my 5s, but really - what exactly am I protecting it from?  It just sits in my suit pocket.

You will feel differently the first time you drop it. :sleep:

I skimped on the case for my first 4S, and it was scratched as hell within a few months.  It also mostly just sat in my pocket.

My iPhone didn't shock me at all today.  Yay!

I fear there's something wrong with my iPad camera.  Strikes me as a hardware issue, since the FaceTime camera works but when I select the main camera, nothing.  I've tried rebooting, but to no avail. :(  I wonder if it's failed a shock test somewhere along the line.  :hmm:

What should I do?  Take it to the local Apple Store, and have them ship it out?
