not bad for the $140 you're paying. i say its worth it, since i threw my old one at my wall and needed this one asap ... thankfully my dad didnt find out and flip. The phone itself got here sooner than expected and had nothing wrong with it except tiny scratches on the screen -- no cracks and no defects to the use of it. Havent had it for one day yet, and i'm still not sure how it responds to being thrown at a wall. Also, for the lady that reviewed this and complained about getting a silver 5S and not a gold one, i got a gold but she is ungrateful. Lady, i will find your phone and throw it at a wall.
