I just got this case for my black IP5 a few days ago.
Pros:
1. Light weight.
2. Thin.
3. Great fit.
4. Made out of quality materials.
5. Small lip around the edges. Barely noticeable looking at it or rubbing your finger across it, but a slight lip to offer a little "face down" clearance.
6. Good access to all of the buttons and headphone jack.
7. Smooth hard plastic...almost a soft touch to it. Hard to explain, but it offers a nice feel in the hand and it slides easily in and out of pockets.
8. Adds very little bulk to the phone.
9. Cheap! $10 with free shipping.
Cons:
1. Difficult to get off. It snaps in and fits great, but it is challenging to get off.
2. I feel like they could have done without the lip on the top and bottom of the phone and just made those parts flush and rounded with the corners.
3. The areas with the cutouts (camera and volume buttons) seem to attract a fair amount of dust, so I find myself trying to clear away the camera lens every so often.
4. No cut out for the Apple logo on back (I'm really nit picking here).
Overall I think it is a great case for my particular use. I just wanted something that was thin, matched the color of my phone, easy to move in and out of pockets, and covered the back to prevent scratches. This case does that and then some. The tiny lip to offer the front of the phone face down clearance is a nice touch. I realize this case isn't going to save my phone from hard drops (though I have read some reviews from people stating that it has), I knew that going into it. I prefer a naked phone, but after 2-3 days of having this case on I hardly even notice it is there. And the peace of mind being able to set my phone down on any surface without worries of scratching is worth the trade off of not having a naked phone. Overall I would really recommend it. And at $10 it's hard to go wrong.
Edit: Crap, is there any way to change the subject line? I hate when people spell iPhone "Iphone". :S
