It will loosen up. When I got my first case for my 3GS many moons ago it was really snug but it loosened up and just became nice. In fact after I took off my Zagg protectors it became too loose.
Thats a nice one right there. Though, I didnt like the striped texture..
Iam getting the BookBook 5
mind for the link it caught my eyelove these type of pouches.
Sure, here you go. They have a lot of colors and patterns to choose from. Looks very nice.

I am glad to see I am not the only person obsessed or anal about these things. I have a SFBags iPhone 5 wallet, a Golla wallet and I have an Element accessory case. I so much don't want to like the SFBags wallet because of the plastic front and it being kind of thick but the more I use it, the same things I don't like, I like. It is very hard to use another case. Being able to take the phone out of my pocket and see notifications or set it on my desk and not have to remove the iPhone to see whats going on is pretty nice.
Just had to get this! http://www.etsy.com/listing/110401388/iphone-5-vintage-automotive-leather

Jesus, thats slick.
Grats man! I got thrilled to see this one just because the breathing holes. Very well designed.

Congrats man!
Its a really tight fit.
How tight is the fit in this case? Is it hard pulling the phone out and putting it in?
At first it is a snug fit but the leather is soft, so it is manageable. The leather is now starting to break-in/adjust, so it is getting easy to put in and get out. Really nice and soft Napa leather.
I got that today too. I really like it, but I think I might return it for the ultraslim classic (which wasn't listed before). I can't think of a use case for charging it in the case and I'd rather have the extra protection of not having the hole.
I just flip the front part back, that's all. My card is always facing inward (I only carry my main one and my license--don't want to add too much bulk, so it's okay) so it's never a problem. With the Five, it's even better, since the phone is thinner...but when I had the Book Book for the 4S, it was the same.
User LittleGwen showed us this case from another thread. So I ordered one. Can't say I'm impressed. I've requested an exchange for their tan one. I do think the pouch is nice but the pull tab isn't positioned properly. It could be better.
I wrote a review for their website, I don't see it posted yet. But as I was writing it, I felt like returning the product.

Thats why I prefer the sleeve over the case.
PLUS, all the cases are ugly. No doubt. You can actually find cool-looking sleeves (black leather etc). Its also about taste. If youre 13 I can get it if youre going with a case but if youre more mature, its the professional style you want. Its neat having a leather case for your phone. Shows others that you mean the best for it.
FTW! (I actually couldn't have said it any better myself
)Sorry if I missed it, but does anyone have a lead on if/when Sena will release an argyle for the iPhone 5? I absolutely love the one for my iPhone 4, and I am continuing to use it with my iPhone 5, until they release an updated version.

Hey, I had a leather pouch when I was 13
My SGP Crumena is arriving Monday - I'll post pics once it has arrived. I ordered the black one.

Hey, thats what I call taste!
It's a shame I didn't have that when I was young.
I ordered this one as well - it's on the way. Anyone have any experience with Killspencer cases??
I definitely agree with you about the need for a headphone jack hole. Actually I emailed Sena Cases with the same question earlier today, ie why the case doesn't seem to have a headphone opening and if they plan it for the future.
I've used a Sena Ultrathin on my Iphone 4 and like it - although it's was a little bit to tight the first months. A few weeks ago I pre-ordered a Ultrathin case for my Iphone 5. When I put the order I took for granted that the case will have an opening for the headphone jack. I think I interpreted "Speaker openings" as they meant "headphone speaker opening", which sounded like the only logical case design.
In my head it doesn't make sense at all to have a lightning plug opening, but no headphone opening on a protection pouch.
The Iphone needs protection when I'm on-on-the go and keep the unit in my pocket or in a bag. And at those times I cannot charge the phone. When I'm on-the-go I want to listen to music/podcasts and use the headphones if I get a phone call (while the phone is still in the pocket/pouch). But this common use case is not possible when using the new Sena Ultrathin case model. At least if I also want access to the mute and Sleep/Wake buttons (which I want).
I will probably cancel my pre-order of the Ultrathin with Lightning opening.

Personally I dont like the look on the website. Its very ... vague.
However - Your wish is my law - its fixed now!
It's hardly vague. If anything it's minimalist but stylish and easy to navigate. I've ordered several products from and never had a problem as long as I'm not doing it on an iOS device.
Found some more nice pouches/sleeves etc:
Knomo have some very nice ones.
Example:

Also, I found one which looked really nice with a metal plate in it at the front to doubly protect the screen, but can't find it now
Had a metal kangaroo logo on I think, company began with 'p'.
