While this is somewhat subjective, you cannot be talking about the Nexus 4. There is nothing cheap about its case. And this is somewhat bizarre when we're talking about a device that you've never touched (the iPhone 5c), which we already know is made of the much reviled plastic.
- outworlder 13y agoI own a Nexus 4, and there is: the backside. It scratches very, very easily. Plus (even though this is anedoctal), it appears to crack just as easily if dropped. That was absolutely not the case with my old iPhone 4. The front glass is fine, but the back is crap.
- kalleboo 13y agoThe 5C is plastic though, and anyone who owned an old plastic iPod can tell you how quickly they got scratched.
- nvarsj 13y agoI think it's a safe assumption that the 5C/S will be at least as solid as their predecessors. I owned an N4 for a year. I replaced the back and front glass on it. I have two kids, and my iPhones have suffered no end of abuse - with very little damage. The Nexus on the other hand - I barely knocked it against a table and the back shattered. I dropped it a few inches onto my work desk, and the front shattered. Taking it apart, I could see firsthand how flimsy and thin the case and glass are, especially the back. This is well documented on the web. Granted it's my own little anecdote. I still think it's a great device otherwise - Android flies on it, and I far prefer Android to iOS. I doubt I'll buy another iPhone again no matter how nice the hardware is.
