Yes, that would explain it.....In my part of the world,( and in local Carphonewarehouse, where I bought the phone) Iphone cases are in very limited suppl..... lots of cases, but really not for the 5, despite what it says on the box. I was told that " they are on the way", but @ €30 a shot, I was not very impressed. Has anyone else had this experience? 1st one I tried ( and yes, says Iphone 5 2012) was a leather flip-over type, and very impressive, as it should be for the 5. BUT when the cover is flipped... the phone falls out. Obviously meant for a phone with a bigger waist-line..... Luckily, when it happened to me,it only fell on a soft surface......but had it fell on a tiled floor......instant divorce.
2nd cover is much neater, opens like the front door, and is made of plastic ( cheapo ) So to have proper use of the phone, you have to "open" the door a full 360* which then blocks off the camera......and of course, repeated "opening" of this door, will inevitably break the hinges...... When I pointed out these shortcomings to the staff.....they were in agreement ( could not be otherwise) but were not able to offer any solutions except to offer a sticky screen protector. So all in all, was not a really good beginning, but this does not detract from the operation of the phone itself, and I am sure that in time it will all have been worth it, if the comments in this forum are anything to go by,
Thanks and All the Best,
Jim.
Any comment on my other items? Icons wobbling when I tried to use the camera, and when I tap Safari, I get Google.....???
