I can't seem to find the thread but there's one here where people recommended the Poetic Atmosphere about others. I'm an iPhone case junkie. I am about to have 20 iPhone 5 cases, have had about 30 iPhone 4 and 3 cases.
With the 3/3GS, I really loved the SwitchEasy CapsuleRebel (I bought like 7 to mix and match the spines) but recent products from them haven't impressed me much (Nude and Tones).
Going to the 4 and 5, I really love the Speck CandyShell (Grip especially) line of cases and they're a little thick but they absorb shock so much I show off by throwing them and bouncing my iPhones off carpeted floor. Some defects though--scuffs show too easily and rubber peels/pills.
SwitchEasy Tones white/gray = nice, but hole around Lightning adapter too small--won't fit Monoprice cables or the Apple adapters. Will only fit original cables. Also gets grimy that Magic Eraser can't seem to buff out. Almost as sturdy as the Speck ones too--I bounce my iPhone in this.
Now I'm looking for thinner and I briefly had (before selling it to a friend) the Belkin Candy Sheer (black and neon green) case.
Dissatisfied with that, I've ordered the white + black "upgraded" Anker Glaze thin TPU cases and have 7 knockoff Spigen Slim Armor Colors on their way from eBay.
I really like the Anker Glaze so far. This is the "upgraded" one being a 1-piece TPU vs the TPU + bumper v1 seemed to have. The silver ANKER logo is really understated and it's not a shiny/greasy TPU but matte/frosted. No camera ring hole.
I can't see myself skipping my iPhone in this case like a rock like I did with my previous cases though.
What are everyone else's experience?
