we got our daughter one, they are pretty nice. One thing I like about Iphones is the availability of parts for them at reasonable prices on amazon (TW link of course). No need for Insurance. hell, the glass and digitizer kit is so cheap, fuck using the screen protector or protective cases. when it gets nasty, swap it out, change colors if you want.
I have a Motorola Photon, which is a POS compared to the Iphone4 and 5. But it is pretty tough, which is important to me.
