If a case says is is for a iPhone 5 will it work for a iPhone 5c?

I have a iPhone 5C and found a phone case I like but it says it is for a iPhone 5 will it work on my phone

I'm sorry Kari but it won't fit. Iphone 5 has a larger dimension.
May be you could try some online websites and search for phone cases. They usually have good collections.

No, because I have the 5c and my cousin has the 5. Believe me I tried.

Sorry, but the case for an iPhone 5 will not be compatible with an iPhone 5C. The iPhone 5S will be compatible with the iPhone 5 case since they share the same dimensions. The 5C has curvier edges and is a little larger in terms of height and width. So it will not work.

The iPhone 5 and the iPhone 5S are similar in dimensions, however and unfortunately the iPhone 5C is a bit larger, therefore you absolutely need an iPhone 5C case.

I hope it helps! You can find a lot of beautiful cases for your iPhone 5C on this website:
