Looking for Ultra thin case for 5.

There are many threads on this. I have the power support air jacket black and I just love it (has a slightly matte finish as opposed to the more slippery finish on some of the other air jacket colors). Barely adds any size to the phone. Almost like it's naked. Was a case mate barely there case guy for my 4s and even got one for my 5 but they added a pad to the case for the 5 so it's a little thicker.

I also got a 5 pack of cases similar to what you show and also from a seller on eBay. My cases were all perfect except for one that looks like it got a little squished in shipment. I paid $1.58 per case.

You can try the Elago Slim fit. There are two types:

Reasonably priced and from a reputable source. There's also the Ringke Slim but I think these will be better. SGP Ultra Thin Air case is good but expensive, $20.

I've been searching high and low for the slimmest iPhone 5 case available. Short of the few Desmay clones on eBay, these are the ones I could find.

I ordered all of these. Below are my thoughts.

1. Snug fit and the front has extended lip around the screen edge the glass won't touch the table if you put it face down. Top & bottom are exposed. Generic cutout for volume buttons & vibrate switch.

2. Feels cheap. But it's slim. Top & bottom exposed.

3. Very well built. Fits perfectly. Top & bottom exposed.

4. Hasn't shipped yet. I think it'll be like #3.

5. Not bad. This one's a matte color and not very grippy. Fits perfectly. Only top & bottom are exposed.

6. Same as #6, but with a rubbery, grippy feel. Fits perfectly. Only top & bottom are exposed.

7. The left, right and top of the bumper are a shiny black with the front and back edges being a off-black or almost dark grey color. Bumper is flexible but firm.

8. The case is a tight fit around the phone, it's a perfect fit that goes on without scratching the aluminum sides. The left and right bumpers of the case are hard plastic, while the back/top/bottom are rubber-ish TPU

9. It has a smooth, comfortable feel to it. It doesn't add any unnecessary weight and it fits nice and snug, as expected.

10. I like. Reminds me of the Case-Mate Barely There series. The fit is perfect. Fully covers left & right sides of phone. Top & bottom are open.

11. Meh. TPU case paired with a plastic bumper. All sides are covered.

12. Super light, no bulk, fits perfect yet not to hard to put on or take off.
