[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1768694, member: 56379"] If the phone hasn't been dropped multiple times over its life (which would not be uncommon)...and could have resulted in a bent frame. Considering it's age (iPhone 5 is 4-5 years old)...it's also possible that the battery could be swelling & forcing the glass & frame to seperate. If your looking for a new phone...the iPhone 8 is a possibility (but could be 1-3 months from launch if rumors are true)...and even when it launches it may or may not be what your looking for (rumors say it's going to be expensive). Apple is still selling iPhone 6's and iPhone 7's...thus this is a possibility. And lastly. If the issue is just a swelling iPhone 5 battery...I replaced my iPhone 5 battery about 18 months ago for $15 bucks.:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
