Hi everyone, i'm looking for bumpers for my 5s space grey, but the two i've bought on the ebay are really big and make the iPhone ugly, besides they feel like cheap plastic on the hand. The truth is that they cost me less than 3 bucks. Could you recommend me a good bumper, as thin as possible? Around 20 bucks would be a reasonable price to pay.

Thanks in advance.

My wife just ordered a spigen and I can let you know how it is once it arrives. Should take a litle over a week since it is not showing shipping time. Says ships mid october :rolleyes: If this case is nice I will be purchasing one for myself. I have the space gray and she has the gold.

Bought this Spigen bumper case for my wife's gold iphone 5S, she's been using it for five days, it's a perfect match.

Does it affect Signal/Reception/Wifi?

No, not at all. I've used bumpers on my iPhone 5 for over a year without any issue, including this Spigen (in grey).

The Caze ThinEdge is by FAR the best bumper. Very thin, semi-rigid, looks great on the phone.

Just picked up the Power Support Flat Bumper in Metallic Red. Put a Carved ebony wood back skin on and I'm good to go. Love it!

Awesome case

The case looks great on my wife's gold iphone 5s and I will be picking up one of these very shortly. I can take some pics tomorrow when my wife gets back from work.

The case fits very nicely, power and volume buttons work very well. Overall I feel I would be extremely happy using that case for myself. Right now I am sporting the zagg thin bumper and the spigen is WAY better of a case.

With that being said, I have a zagg bumper for sale if anyone interested �� $15 to anyone who wants it to put towards the purchase of the spigen case I want now lol ��

the thinnest iphone 5 bumper ive seen so far, has to be the Pinlo Blade edge 2: http://pinlo.com/e/products/116/Bladedge II.html

dont expect much, if any drop protection at all tho.

I have the above too in black. It's okay. A bit cheap and goes on rough.

Got it off this site: http://mimeusa.com/product/halo-bumper-for-iphone-5/

It's the same as the Pinlo, for half as much.

PS Flat Bumper is nicer IMO. Sadly, I've had way too many cases, and I'm sure the PSFB won't be my last :)

Thinnest iPhone 5s bumper?

I have the Spigen bumper in Dante Red. Hybrid Neo Ex Slim. 9.4mm thickness at bumper; phone thickness, 7.6mm, elsewhere.

They improved the fit so it doesn't slip off at all anymore. Wife has the Satin for white.

Best case. Looks amazing on black iphone 5 hasn't scratched phone. Had this and slate for 3 months

That looks like a copy of the Power Support Slim Frame bumper with different buttons to me.

The Spigen Neo Hybrid design came out with the IPhone 4 with the unique two separate piece design that was different than the original Apple bumper. It's design prevents scratching the phone.

It's vastly less expensive than the Power Support and available in more color combinations too. Both are of high quality.

It preceded the Power Support bumper and preserves the look of the original phone.

There are many variants available today.

Yet they still use the same ugly grey plastic for the buttons since 2010.
