What's your guys opinion on the build quality of the 5c. My s4 is slimy and creaky, and I don't want that.
Also I'm looking for off contract

My first iPhone coming from a blackberry in 2011 was the 4S. When it was able to use an upgrade after the 5C & 5S were announced, I choose to get the 5C over the S model. A few reasons factored in on the choice I made.
1) the build quality of the 5C is really outstanding. The polycarbonate backing is very comfortable to hold, and overall the phone is well built. Don't let anyone fool you that the C series of the iPhone is a cheap build. It is faaaaaaar from it !! There are no squeaks or creaks coming from this device that's for sure !!
2) I didn't have interest in the finger print scanner on the S at the time.
3) The few extras that the S has over the C weren't enough for me to spend an extra $100 at the time to get it. ie: the S has the A7 where as the C still has the A6 (same as the 5). In reality to the human eye, you really wouldn't be able to see the speed difference....at least I'm not able to gauge it when I compared the 2 side by side.
4) Price point. The C was $99, compared to the S at $199. I saved the $100 and put it towards Apple Care+ on my C, as I do with all my Apple devices.
5) Last factor, but not extremely important, was color. I fell in love with the coral pink version !!
Good luck with your purchase & enjoy it !!
