yeah I'm kind of a little weird on that the finger print part and the buttons, the buttons don't bother me as much as the fingerprint smudges. Do you think I should return it? What other cases would you recommend?
Got a tip for us?

Black Sector 5 with black screws.

That looks really nice with the black Trunket decals.
Does Element sell black screws? Looks better that way
There is a sector 5 listing when you visit the screws page in accessories, but there is no color option. One CS rep who emailed me said the default color is silver and you had to add that you wanted black to the notes page, but another said they didn't sell them.
So I decided not to take my chances and instead grab them from Ace hardware who were way cheaper anyway.
also rocking the matte mid skin back from Sticker boy!
EDIT: the ultra air case won't fit with the matte back skin! Doh!

hi new iphone 5 user herei purchased these two along with my iphone 5
The incase slider ruins screen protectors. There are better cases out there

I have one of these too. Great bumper. Dropped mine the other day onto a metal floor plate and all fine.
hi new iphone 5 user here
Well, I don't want to ruin how you feel about the Incase slider if you really like it...but I had used the Incase slider on my original iPhone as well as my 3G and 3GS and it withstood many drops and abuse & I trusted it a lot so of course it was my natural choice for my iPhone 4. Well needless to say I made the wrong choice. I dropped my 4 once in a parking lot onto concrete and the screen shattered (while in the case). I'm aware that it's just a plastic case so it's not going to do much as far as drop protection is concerned but if you're looking for something that's protective to accidental drops but still retains the slim and slick feel of the iPhone 5, I'd suggest something with a TPU interior and hard outer shell such as the Belkin Grip Max (what I'm using) or the Speck Candyshell. Those will give you a lot more protection while still retaining about the same dimensions. Enjoy your iPhone!
I won't, don't complain when people mistake your work of art for a galaxy s3.

Please tell me what other cases would you recommend for me? I like the tech 21 a lot. Let know tho. And any great screen protectors?
What great cases would you recommend?

I am thinking of returning the incase tbh. Because I know it's not a valid reason but it does attract finger print smudges, dust in the corners. I'm growing fond of the tech 21 case for now but still seeking a case that will protect the phone but won't air away the natural beauty of it, the lightness and such. And another question, I let my battery drain all the way yesterday and now it seems like my battery goes down faster. What do I do about that? And do you use screen protector. If so what kind?

Depends what you're after. Can't go wrong with any SGP screen protectors or power support anti glares. I'm a fan of the Draco design aluminium bumper or the speck candy shell. I do have a nice looking slider case from adopted cases coming in for review in the new year. Will post pics here when they arrive.
Also check out elago cases. They make some real quality cases at decent prices.
I'll be sure to check out those you listed. I am enjoying the tech 21 smoke case for my iPhone 5. It's awesome. I wonder how many have purchased this because when I picked it up yesterday at my local apple store along with my phone. They said these sell out really fast. So upon that said I read up the review in the apple store app before purchasing it. Got a lot of 5/5 stars on its rating. So I went ahead and got it. I want to have another case though. Something that's close to the sleek feel to this tech 21 iPhone 5 case but more professional looking.
Also had a tech21 for the iPhone 4S in for review which was nice. Hoping to get an iPhone 5 version for review in the new year

Can you fold the front right back, flat?
I just bought my iPhone 5 yesterday at AT&T. I bought this case to go with it. I liked it better than otterbox because it is less bulky and it has a full screen protector in the front. I got the charcoal/pink one.

Stm case
I bought this STM case 2 months ago and I knew that I was very happy with what I chose. I'm a road cyclist and I also run to keep me in shape and today while running, I dropped my phone on the ground while running.
I forgot to zip the pocket of my vest where my phone was and after a few miles, I felt a tug on my headset and there it was, my phone dropped few feet in front of me. I picked it up and to my surprised only the case got some scuffs but nothing to the phone at all.

Purchase my iPhone 5 a few days ago and picked up this case, I'm in love with it but I'm wanting another case but don't know where to seek. I want something like this but in black? Anyone know where to purchase more of something like this case?
