Is anyone using with the gold iPhone 5s? Does the "frost" finish of the case affect the color of the iPhone in any way?

I have the silver back & it makes it look like the gold case. I imagine it could make it look different possibly.

R -- did you end up buying it? I have a gold iPhone 5S and am wondering the same thing.

No it doesn't change the color at all. The "frost" is very mild. The case isn't as tight fitting as most cases, just something to keep in mind.

The white part of the case (actually almost pearl white) is the hard plastic and so far hasn't been picking up any dirt or staining. I have noticed that the top of the pink rim (the soft rubbery part of the case) seems to be rubbing what looks like blue dye off of something. So far rubbing the edge with a moistened finger cleared that right off but I can't tell you what would happen if you just left that there for a while. Overall, it doesn't look shabby at all but keep in mind that this phone model just came out in early April and noone will have extensive experience with it. Check out similar looking cases for slightly older phones perhaps?

From what I can tell there is no difference other than the color. I just figured they were overstocked on the white and were trying to unload them. I like the white because it matches my silver and white iPhone 5s.

I don't think so my gold case hasn't gotten dirty at all. The case is smooth/sleek-it shouldn't attract dirt like silicone cases do.

Not in the slightest. I have the 5s. I'm unsure why people struggled with that. My case has held up well for the past two months. No complaints and love how cheap it was.

White faceplate as seen in the pic and the back piece is clear so you can see the gold or silver or black or white color on the back if the phone. So like my 5s is the white and gold - clear rear cover shows gold back plate

Just advertising terms? I took the case off to ascertain that the back is a hard clear plastic that will probably not discolor, whereas the sides are more flexible and might not stay crystal clear, but it is only the bumper so a slight discoloration would not be a problem and the case has become easier to remove with use, due to the rubbery bumpers. I ran it under hot water the first time I put on the iPhone because it was not going on easily. I'm not convinced that this case could save my iPhone from damage, but the bumper does allow me to "get a grip".

The only weak link I see regarding dust in the iPhone 5s case might be the hole in the screen protector for the finger print ID/home button. My old 3GS case had very few dust issues but the screen protector covered the whole front of the phone. For regular every day use I think this case should be fine. My old case as good as it was I had to take it apart about once a year to clean out stuff that crept in. If I have to do that a couple of times a year for this model no big deal. The finger print ID convenience is worth it. If you want to go hard core check out the Preserver series. I just couldn't justify the price difference.

Dont worry about it. the case is transparent enough to be able to see the apple logo. So when it lights up the color you see from the light is the cases color. :)

Don't know why the change happens when you click on the mint colour. This case fits my iPhone 5s very well. However, the downside to this case is the interference with the flash when taking photos.....Photos are "greyed" off.

Not at all, nor has the color faded any. I am very happy with this case. I purchases a couple others before, but had problems with covering speakers or charging space. This one is perfect.

I've had mine for months and haven't noticed any discolor. Best case I've bought so far.

I dont know anything about the gold iPhone 5s. BUT ON EITHER SIDE of the spot where you plug your charger into there are 2 holes that has a screw on either side already in it. You have to UNSCREW those 2 little screws & that is where you screw in this plate & you are done. If you look at the photo & your Iphone bottom looks like that which it should & of course it takes the NEW slim small charger then yes you can use this thing.

No it hasn't. My friend who actually had one before me used it on her gold iphone used it for longer than me (about 3 months) and it didn't yellow at all.

I bought my clear case in August last year. I have three other cases for my HTC One but I always come back to this one even though it isn't truly clear anymore. I wouldn't actually say it's yellow but it has discolored some. My phone is silver so it shows up more than it would on a colored phone but I love it anyway and in fact, it's on my phone right now. I started noticing the discoloration after about four or five months but I'm still using it after 9 months.

Sorry don't know as I don't have a 5S....quality in general is not as good as it used to be...just okay case

Yes. I received mine around September 18th for my Moto X and last week I noticed that it was yellow on the back. Thought at first it may have been dirt accumulation (which was weird because it was very evenly distributed), but it turns out it is just the case itself changing color. Only did it on the back and in a large area focused around the bottom center (covers about 4/5 of the back). Not very happy. Almost looks like the white walls of a cigarette smokers house... except I don't smoke nor does anyone that it is ever around lol.
