I finally found one. After a week of determination (I knew someone in Houston had one!) I went to a place called Car Toys of all places to buy my white iPhone 5!!! I'm in LOVE with it!!! It really is a great phone.
It is super light and the screen is so much better than the 4. The battery life seems to last longer, it charges faster, and the speakers are SO much better than the previous iPhone's speakers. In my little opinion, yes, I think the iPhone 5 is worth the hype!
I haven't been able to find the "it" case yet for my phone, so I'll probably go online and order one. I went to Best Buy and bought this one as a temporary case until I buy the one I want:
It's called the Reveal case by Griffin. I really like it...it has a clear back so you can see the white/metal back of the phone. I was thinking I may end up ordering a skin like this one to put on the back:
Since the back of the case is clear, you would see the pop of black and white leopard print and then it would have the hot pink outline on the sides...I think it would be really cute! What do you think?
Here is what my lock/homescreen look like:

I can't believe we've been married almost a year!!! Time flies!!!
Also, I figured since I was writing about the phone, I would also tell you about some of the apps that I am just loving right now!!!
1. Squaready- A FREE app that lets you shrink any photo to the infamous Instagram square! I love this app, especially when I don't feel like chopping off part of a photo! I can shrink it and it fits right in the square. SO WORTH IT!
2. Diptic- Another FREE app that lets you create collages in Instagram format! I use this app all the time...I used it for the picture above of my lock/home screen.
3. OldBooth- Okay...this is hands down probably my MOST favorite app of all time...I have laughed so hard at some of the images I created that I have cried, and I'm not even lying!!! You take a photo of ANYONE and you can put it on one of the heads of the past!!! The 80s tends to be my favorite!!! I think I paid for this app (maybe .99, I can't remember, but it is WORTH EVERY PENNY!!)
I like to call the middle one "If I were a teacher of the 80s"!!!
4. Cat Effects- A free app for mindless entertainment....you can add images of cats to any picture in your library...pretty funny and a good time waster!

Love it! For me, buying an iPhone case was way harder a decision than buying the actual iPhone haha. There are so many cute options! I love the leopard print with the hot pink.
HAHA those are so funny Apps! I definitely need to get the square ready one!
Thanks for sharing!

Glad to hear you love the iPhone 5!! I've heard some great things about it, so I can't wait to get mine in... May. :P Worth the wait! I love the idea of a skin with the cover, I think that would look really cool!
Those apps look like so much fun. :) I'll have to get 3 & 4!!
iPhoneeeee 5! I SO WANT ONE!!
I'm with Brooke's comment about the case...I spent over an HOUR yesterday looking at cases on Etsy. The problem is most manufacturers haven't come out with enough designs yet for this model...the company I order my case that covers ALL THE WAY around my cell is a capsule case by uncommon. They aren't releasing their new cases for Iphone 5 till October sometime. UGH!
I'm so glad that after all that searching, you finally found an iphone 5! And I love your screen backgrounds, such beautiful pictures :)
Did you get the "does that make me crazy" idea from Kidd Kraddick in the morning? They did something like that last week and it was hilarious!
Congrats on the 5! I have the 4 and I still love it. I'll have to check out Diptic. I have the Instagram version of the collages since it was free as well.
THANK YOU for sharing those apps! I hate when I have to crop a picture and an important part gets sliced off! Excited to try that one out :)
I can't wait to get my hands on the iphone 5! I have to wait till november though, which is when I can get my upgrade.
hahaha that cat app is too funny!
Yay for the new iPhone!! I'm {im}patiently waiting for my contract to expire so I can upgrade!
Ummm SO going to download the cat app NOW!! I LOVE mindless stuff like that!!
My FAVORITE app that I literally use ten times a day is LockBox...it's an app that stores all your information, credit card info, passwords, social security numbers, etc. It's password protected so you have to enter you password before you can even get into the app. So obsessed and I don't know what I'd do without it!(Nerd alert!)
Deluxe FX is cool too...let's you add really neat things to pictures.
I really want to switch to the IPhone this year!!!
I will be there for the crazy posts, sounds like so much fun :)
I want a white iphone 5 so bad!! I'm super jealous that the hubby gets on free through work...no fair!

I'm going to get one! I can't wait I just need to find time to get to the store. There are some pretty cool cases out there. I was just looking at some this afternoon.
Ahhhh I cannot wait for mine to comeeee! I should be getting it tomorrow or Wednesday!!!!
I have an android phone and that cat app isn't in the Google play store. Sad day.
you crazy, bo.
I still haven't got my hands on an iPhone5. I have been wanting one but it seems to always be out of stock. tsk tsk.
I need your headband, and I just downloaded that square app!
Lucky! I gave up and just ordered mine. I can't wait for that little Halloween treat to arrive.
I have the new iphone and I love it! EXCEPT my battery life SUCKS. I think it is sooooo much worse than my iphone 4. :( I got a temporary case too. I think I'm going to get a glittery case soon though.
I'll have to check out that app that makes the photos square for instagram!
