I started getting palpitations this morning but then it finally went out for delivery.
What cases are you guys planning on using? I want something that still shows the gold so I'm thinking a white bumper would look nice. I might just go caseless with this one.

Got my 16GB space grey yesterday, slapped a black carbon fiber slickwrap to the back only, going caseless on office days and looking for a waterproof solution on my flying days. So far I'm most impressed with the finger print scanner! No more entering passwords for me!

I just have a bumper on my 5 now. I'm going do the same on my 5s until a manufacturer can figure out how to allow the use of the FP scanner while protecting it from water, dust, etc.

Not sure on the case. I really liked the incase I have for my 4s. It is a one piece design that is smoked so it is a little see through. the outside has a nice coating for added grip because without the case the phone was slippery as hell. I would like something similar but clear this time. I found a couple on amazon that are clear, but they appear to have a rubber insert around the edges. that would give added protection for the front and get me the grip and clear look I want. Plus they are not bulky.

Switcheasy? Anybody has this one? Thoughts? Comments?

That doesn't look like it would give any protection in a drop. I'm just gonna use a clear TPU bumper that has a nice lip.

This is what I ordered for less than $3 shipped.

I'm not too worried about discoloration after time. It's priced very low and is just temporary until a manufacturer designs a full case that allows FP scanner usage and protection against the elements. As popular as the iP5s is, it shouldn't be too long but I'm not holding my breath.

Just ordered a 32 GB gold 5S through Apple. It's available to ship sometime in October. So excited! I got a space grey on Friday since I had waited in line all night, but my heart was set on gold.
I went to best buy... I got a space grey, but I really want a white/silver one. Best buy said there's no exchanging for colors. Is there a way to get around that? There return policy is 15days

Yes. Return it within 15 days. Then get the color you want. It may take a day or two for your upgrade to become available on your account, so that could be an issue. But it's doable.

I ordered a Golden Phone right at launch with my upgrade. Then I went to AT&T the next day and got a space grey on my daughters upgrade, but put it on my line, to use until my Golden phone arrives. I will return it on day 14 even if my golden phone hasn't arrived yet and revert to the 4S if needed for a couple days.

I was thinking that too. I have one on reserve at Target. I was thinking when they sent me my email saying it was at the store. I would return my Best Buy purchased one in favor of the color I really wanted. I do like the space grey, but I really wanted Silver.
