It has been less than a month since Apple released the iPhone 5s. The new smartphone was initially rolled out to a number of select markets, including Japan, China and obviously the U.S. Reports coming in from China claim that the iPhone 5s bends, similar complaints were heard last time around when the iPhone 5 was released. The problem was faced by a small number of early adopters back then and the devices weren’t actually as bent as the iPhone 5S seen in these pictures. It is not exactly known for sure what is causing some iPhone 5s units to bend, and obviously the possibility exists that these images are fake and fabricated since similar reports haven’t come in from any other markets.

It goes without saying that these days, whenever you pick up a new handset or particular mobile device, chances are there is already a ready array of protective cases at your disposal. After all, why take the risk of ruining your spanking new smartphone with a scratch simply because you do not want it to look too bulky in the first place? The folks over at Booq have come up with the Complete Protection Kit which is meant to work as it has been named, boasting modern simplicity and intelligent design so that iPhone 5c as well as iPhone 5s users will be able to keep their brand new Apple devices in tip top condition right from the get go. This is certainly the smart thing to do if you want to make sure that it has a good resale value when the iPhone 6 arrives, right?

The Booq Complete Protection Kit would offer an all-encompassing solution for their iPhone devices, where it is composed of four different parts. There is a tempered glass screen protector, an ultra-thin snap case, a microfiber cleaning cloth, and a couple of adhesive home button covers. Needless to say, the Complete Protection Kit is scratch-resistant and lightweight in nature, where protection is a snap to apply and will never peel so that this ends up as a permanent solution which would make your device looking as pristine as possible for the longest time even years down the road.

Just how is this made possible? Well, thanks to an anti-smudge oleophobic coating and polycarbonate lining, the Complete Protection Kit delivers the relevant and necessary fortification required without sacrificing on its pocket-ability. A tempered real glass, crystal clear exterior is ultra-resistant against scratches, and the two adhesive home button covers will offer protection for the iPhone 5c so that no functionality is sacrificed along the way. The Complete Protection Kit for iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s will retail for $34.95 a pop.

Apple unveiled the new iPhones last month. Ten days after the announcement, it released the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c in a number of select markets around the globe. The U.S. was obviously one of those markets. Lines had started forming up outside Apple Retail Stores days before the actual release, it became evident that significant consumer demand existed for Apple’s newest smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S4 was the top selling smartphone in the U.S. prior to the launch of the new iPhones. It has been dethroned by the iPhone 5s in September, says research firm Canaccord Genuity. The iPhone 5s is now said to be the top selling smartphone on Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile last month.

Canaccord doesn’t mention in the report exactly how many units have been sold on all four carriers, it says that the Galaxy S4 has now been pushed down to the second slot. On some carriers, it also appeared to be in third place. The firm claims that iPhone 5s is seeing “strong sales,” same has been said for its younger sibling, the iPhone 5c. During the last quarter of this year, Apple might end up moving 52 million iPhones around the world, Canaccord believes. Sales are expected to retain momentum over the following weeks, given that the holiday shopping season is just around the corner.
