have had my 5 for 2-3 years now.

I've had some issues with buggy UI. that's mostly because I'm using a different homeapp than what it came with because the stock one is garbage.

a mostly enjoyable experience and hope to have at least another 6-8 years on it.

designed my own protective case that hides the wireless charger. it's probably the best case on any phone I've ever had. the 10 or so times I have dropped it, more damage was done to the ground than to the phone or case.

it's put dents in my hardwood and even chipped off the blacktop of a parking lot. my wife thought she broke her toe once when she dropped it and tried to stop it from falling with her foot.

the phone is a fuckin tank and reminds me of the old Nokia bar phones.

Nokia bar phones didn't need a case on em.
