New iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S announced!!

Back on Tuesday, September 10th, Apple finally made their announcement about the new iPhone.

And on top of the new iPhone 5S (which we all expected to come out) iPhone is also releasing the cheaper iPhone 5 version, the iPhone 5C!

So what's going to happen now?  Well, unfortunately, Apple has announced they are withdrawing the original iPhone 5 from the market!  Just like all of you, this took me by surprise!  I knew, from the many rumors circling the mobile phone world, that Apple would be releasing 2 new iPhones, however I expected them to be the iPhone 5S and possibly an iPhone 6... and then for them to take the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S or even both off the market, not the brand new iPhone 5 that's barely been out a year!

But, there is some good news... those who have purchased the Otterboxes and LifeProof cases that almost costed them a fortune won't have to go out and buy new ones... because the iPhone 5C and 5S BOTH are the SAME SIZE!

I kind of expected this, but I am still a little disappointed by this change... I was expecting to go out and open a new market of cell cases for the iPhone 5C or 5S, but it looks like I'll just have to continue adding the iPhone 5 grouping... but again it'll be good news for those who already have cases for their iPhone 5 and are looking forward to purchasing the new iPhone 5S or 5C.

But buyer beware, it has been leaked that the iPhone 5C low price is not without consequence.  Unlike other iPhone generations that were all released with better built in protection, these ones will not be.  In fact, the reason for the price drop is just simply that, they're CHEAP phones with a little color on their backs!  Nothing more!

So if anyone is looking to upgrade to the new iPhone's, I would highly recommend skipping to the iPhone 5S and avoiding the iPhone 5C all together!


And remember, which ever you choose, or if you even choose to stick with your good ol' iPhone 5, all the cases will fit the same!  Even though the actual, usable screen is much better on the phone itself, the size of the actual phone is still the same!

Also, just to let everyone know, in order for me to add the iPhone 5C and iPhone 5S to the iPhone 5 cases listings, I had to 'cancel' the original listing and then 'Re-List' it onto the eBay site... so if anyone's wondering where all the previous purchases disappeared too, they are attached to the old listing.

The cases are still the same, the prices are still the same and above all else, shipping is still FREE within the US!  So grab your cases today for your iPhone 5, 5C or 5S, whichever you choose, you can use the same case on all 3 phones!

The new listing can be found right here!

NEW HTC ONE SNAP-ON CASES

I actually received these a few weeks ago, I just haven't had time to put them up here on the blog but they are all fully available so anyone who's looking to get a new cell case for their HTC One can grab one right here!

The biggest difference between these cases and the iPhone and Samsung Cases however is that these are made of a hard plastic that are designed to snap onto the back of your HTC One.

I originally was looking to purchase the silicon/rubber cases for the HTC One but when these came in, I was pleasantly surprised.  Although they are hard and unbendable like the silicon/rubber cases, they are surprisingly soft and smooth feeling and easy to put on the phone!

So grab one today!  Only $5.95 with FREE SHIPPING!! 

And remember, EVEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE PAYPAL, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A CREDIT/DEBIT CARD YOU CAN STILL PURCHASE THESE CASES!!

It's easy, all you do is when eBay takes you to the Paypal page, select the bottom option to make a payment with 'another option'.  Paypal will then take your payment with your credit/debit card without you having an account with them and then send it to my paypal account and I will then ship out your new cell case!

Just simply click the links to get your new case!

It's been about a month since my last post...

I apologize that it's taken me so long to update this.  I am still here and these cell phone cases are still for sale!!

We ran into an issue this month that kind of through me off my normal routine and I had to put things aside for a short time in order to get myself back together.

We lost my father unexpectedly on the 10th of August.  He was young and the last person I ever expected to lose in my life.  In fact, I really didn't expect that day to come until after another 40 years down the road so I was anything but prepared to deal with the trauma that followed....

From day one of losing him, the only thing I was able to continue doing was packaging up my cell phone cases and sending them out in the mail as they were ordered... and let me tell you, even that was hard to do at times.  I wasn't able to respond to messages for another week following and now here I am, almost month later, finally posting here on my Artsy Cases blog again.

It's been a very rough road and one I, thankfully but sadly, didn't have to walk alone as my fiance had just lost his own father two years previous.  But I am back and have lots of updates that need to be posted.  My father wouldn't want me to stop Artsy Cell Cases on account of losing him.  In fact, whenever I would get a new shipment of cases, I was always so proud to show him them and I would have him help me decide what cases I should get next.  So, I have to keep Artsy Cases alive in honor of him now.

I miss him every day and my family and I wish we could turn back time to bring him back but we know I cannot so we need to keep living our lives for him now and keep him alive in our memories and all the good times we had.
