I'm thinking about this one but they have an iPhone 4/4S in there and I'm worried about how snug the 5 would be in it.
As noted on the website, based on which one you select it is fitted for that particular phone. The iphone 5 version is slightly bigger:
iPhone 4/4s
Width: 3.35 in.
Height: 5.05 in.
Depth: 0.25 in.
Weight: 0.96 oz.
iPhone 5
Width: 3.35 in.
Height: 5.24 in.
Depth: 0.25 in.
Weight: 1.02 oz.

Yeah, wasn't worried about height as much as I was depth with the 5 being 20% smaller in that regard.
Hmmm, saw a sleeve earlier that had a little tab at the top for pulling it out but can't find it again. And it wasn't the Snugg.
Never understood the appeal of a sleeve for a phone. a sleeve only protects in transport, does nothing when you use it. Plus, having to take it out, use it, and then put it back in the sleeve seems a bit much for as often as i need to glance at my phone.
Oww thats just what I want ... Try to find it
I found it but forgot it was for the 4S. Doh! It was the Sena Argyle case.
having to remove the phone from the sleeve adds a higher chance of fumbling around and then eventually dropping it. i wouldnt use one. its just another thing to carry around too.
I bought a nice leather pouch for my iPhone 4 for the same reason mentioned by the original poster: I wanted to use the phone naked, but at the same time want some protections. The pouch seemed like a good idea as it protects the phone from all side.
In practice, however it doesn't make sense. When the phone ring, I would have to get the pouch out of my pocket, retrieve the phone from the pouch, and about half of the times I would miss the call. Worse yet, as I fumble trying to get the phone out of the pouch, many time I almost drop the phone. Unlike retrieving a phone from my pocket where I have more wiggle room, the pouch I have is pretty snug which is what you want so that the phone doesn't fall out by accident, but that make retrieving the phone a bit trickier.
I suspect that in most cases people drop their phone when it's in transition, for example retrieving the phone from a pocket. Having a phone in a pouch meaning there is no additional protection when use because one has to remove it from the pouch every time.
But then I look at a pouch with pockets for cards I start thinking that it's a good idea because I then can eliminate my wallet. Still, I have trouble convincing myself of the pouch idea as having owing a really nice pouch for the iP4 and using it for about a month then giving it up as being too cumbersome.
I am undecided between no case and using a case. I thought if I were to put a case on the phone, I want something different than just a plastic shell. Adding a function to it like a wallet seems like a good idea. A pouch with pocket for cards would satisfy that requirement.
Should I give it another try?

Thats not a good argument. You carry your case when you have that on, now dont you? Thats 2 things. Same with the case. The only difference is that you can easily seperate the sleeve from the iphone. Now thats not easy with a bulky case. 1. You will easily scratch up the whole back of the phone, 2. Why would you bother doing that tricky part? When you take off the case, the case will be in 2 pieces - which makes it extra tricky. Nah, not a case again. I was leaning towards a case before but now Iam all into sleeve/leather pocket.
y would i want to take the case off my phone? its on there and stays on there. u remove the phone from the sleeve and now u are holding the sleeve in one hand and the phone in the other. how many hands do u have free? ok.
I like the Suede Jacket sleeve from Waterfield designs. Great soft touch material.

Have you had a look at the bookbook case? Might suit what you are looking for.
Feel the beauty of the phone? Lol. This is worst than a case,
Protecting the phone from what? Do you intend on operating your phone while the sleeve is still on?
This seems like a waste of money.
I'm debating between this Etsy one and this one from SFBags:

Although I think the ColcaSac is great, I just think it's too bulky to put into your pant pocket. I want one that won't add much heft to the phone.
Spigen SGP. Very good quality and fit.
