Cheeky little *******s Apple! I'll wait a few weeks but I really need a bloody adaptor as well as I'm going away and the place has a Music player with an Apple Doc on it. This might get a bit expensive :(

It's not necessarily authentication, but a chip to handle the dynamic switching of the pins, based on which direction the cable is plugged in.

If that is the case then I suppose they could get around that by making the cable so it only fits in one way. As long as plugging it in the wrong way doesn't do any damage I could live with that!
 
Picked up my black 32gig tonight. Got a tech21 case thrown in. There's a problem though. I can't get the damn thing on it! This is as close as I could get.

I had my iphone 4 in a speck pixelskin hd. Think I'll just order the iphone 5 version of that instead

I was in the O2 store picking up my NanoSIM and remembered I had the 10 off from Priority Moments so I picked up Griffin Reveal case for 4.99. Looks just like that one posted above, black rubber edge and clear plastic back.
The camera hole is bigger on mine though, I assume they manufactured them before they new the final design.

Careful with that. My wife got one as part of the iPhone 4 "antennagate" free case offer and after a while the rubber became very loose and all sorts of stuff got into the case and ended up doing a right number on the glass back - I've never seen so many scratches on a device before in my life.

If anyone's after quality screen protectors, I have just applied one of these to my 5:

I really think they're the best out there.

I've not used any screen protectors since the 3S, which meant the 4 and 4S being naked. At the time i was worried if it was going to be the biggest mistake of my life, which turned out to be the best decision ever !

Gorilla glass doesn't not scratch, unless you're really really careless. My phones have always been sold as PERFECT ! not a single hairline scratch.

Can't vouch for the aluminum back on the 5 yet, since i've only had it less than one week. But now I've got a bumper on it, it slightly raises the back from rubbing on anything when its on a desk or surface, so it should be good.

Anyone seen any cheapEr lightening cables anywhere yet? Need to order like 3 so would rather not pay £25 per cable from Apple!!!

Think I might get a pouch this time but considering how many times I dropped my other iPhone and the case saved it maybe I should get a snap on case!

Wow rip off Britain.. Only $19 in the US.
 
My knomo leather pouch has been dispatched a few days early :)

Although I'm tempted to swap my phone for the white due to scuffgate so the black case I've ordered is going to look odd :(

I've ordered a black one for my 5 :) shipping starts on the 1st of October too, so not too long to wait.

Don't think it has a pull out tab though. Their 4s version didn't have one anyway. Think Belkin do an ok looking one with a tab.

Strangely mine arrive today despite saying it saying the 1st.

It does actually fit in properly, didn't push it all the way down for the photo, oops.
