Sir Topham Hatt Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 I have just bought an iPhone 5, which I know is a little on the old side but perhaps a good step into the world of Apple, and from Amazon (UKs) Black Friday week, was a fairly good price I thought (refurbished by Apple). It's for my partner so she'll be the primary user. I'm looking at the Ringke FUSION case: Are these any good? Reviews seem pretty okay and it comes with a free screen protector. I've been reading a few reviews and things and may even pick up an iPhone myself, although I like my Lumia 920 as it just works. But I can't deny the apps on iPhones are great in number and quality. She didn't buy anything with Android so there's no money lost there, and I doubt she will buy anything from the market with Apple either. Anyway, are there any other tips I should look at giving her the heads up over? Any MUST HAVE apps? Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praetor Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 what you must do: trade for a blackberry and get $ as well. jk for me that's the most beautiful iphone, the latest one really doesn't appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMELTN Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Ringke Fusion is a great case. I have one on my iPhone 6+ right now and love it! Question is, is this her first iPhone? Is he more likely to drop a phone? My wife is terrible about dropping her phone, I on the other hand, never drop my phone. The Ringke offers very minimal drop protection. Are you better off looking at a more drop resistant case? If not, then yeah the Ringke Fusion is a fantastic case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Topham Hatt Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 She may drop it but I don't want something that's bulky (our standard work phones have this huge rubber cover - it's awful!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
