They are interchangeable but keep in mind Touch ID when selecting a case. For example the new 5s Otterbox is designed with TouchID in mind, while the iPhone 5 Otterbox will physically fit the phone TouchID wouldn't work.

Yes but make sure it has a big camera cutout and does not cover the home button.
