Title says it all, will it fit? Would be interesting to find out.

The iPhone 5c is basically just an iPhone 5....but, use a plastic housing instead of the metal back of the iPhone 5....so it may fit, theoretically.

i seen a video of someone trying to put the iphone 5S housing on a IPhone 5 and it would not fit as the screw mounts was in different places, i'm amazed no one has already tried it, as i think many people would do it.
 
Anyone who says the backhousing of the 5C is compatible with the 5 obviously has not seen the schematics of the device or did not bother to Google a picture of the 5C's backhousing. The mount for the logic board alone is different, with the bottom most mount being several millimeters over to the left in comparison with the iPhone 5. Without a logic board, your device is useless, and if you can't mount a logic board on the housing, you don't have yourself a device. That's just with the logic board, not including the other chassis changes
