I have an IPhone 5C. I got a case for it that covers the back and the sides. Helps protect in case of dropping it and makes it easy to hold. It also still fits in my case that hooks on my belt. 


There is also an outfit in Sacramento who makes very inexpensive plastic covers for the face with dots on it. The dots are not necessarily on a particular icon, but they do give you a reference so it is easy to go back to the same spot. 

You can get it with the dots however right on the alphabet. Only cost about $7 if I remember correctly. 

They also have like covers for the Ipad. 

If anyone is interested, I can look up their contact info.

I would wait. as for durability, I have a 5c and the plastic back is =
durable,but I already have a little tiny nick int he plastic back. not =
enough to be visible, but you can feel the wear on the plastic from =
dropping it not he kitchen floor a couple times. The nick on the side is =
rom a cat knocking it off my desk onto my power supply, so that time it =
hit steel and survived. I would take the I touch back to apple and =
complain, because overcharging the battery will definitely not deform =
the case, not to mention youc an not overcharge any of the new battery =
chemistries, because their charging systems are designed to prevent =
that. If they did not, the lithium batteries would literally explode. IF =
you did manage to overcharge the battery then it is definitely a factory =
defect int he product, and you should scream at apple.
