  • You've seen the internals, but a new question remains…Will it bend?

  • We may not have super strength, but we put this case to the muscle test, anyway. The results: this lacquered plastic is as strong and blue as Captain Planet.

  • It's good to know that, though the rear panel is made with plastic to presumably cut costs, Apple did not compromise build quality in the process.

  • Next we rip out the 5c's still-beating heart ports.

  • Much like internal organs, these ports are connected, so there is no easy way to get at just one of them.

  • Continuing this analogy, our ideal person, much like our ideal device, would be modular like this (work safe, we promise).
