Well yes, i was curious about them, but on the other hand i ordered a Spigen bumper, an Ozaki 0,3, a Vaja Agenda LP and a Miniot Walnut too.
So now i got a pretty choice what to put on
The only thing that is missing is a phone (but he is being prepared for shipment )

I love color and I'm finally getting my phone later this week (I ordered it 9/25!). I found a snap on style from Casetegram which allows you to design your own with your instagram photos or uploaded images... very fun. They have different layouts to choose from and you can save your designs in a gallery without actually ordering one. I ordered the one posted above... They are $40.
Then I also got the leather sleeve on Etsy to protect them both, $25. Neither has arrived yet but should also be here this week. I also have a pinterest board with lots more techie accessory eye candy called Techalicious

Thanks so much for the reminder about Casetagram! I heard about them several months ago but decided to wait to get one until the 5 came out...and then promptly forgot about it. Lol. Totally ordering one of these tonight!
Both are equally acrid.
2 days from Hong Kong to Belgium (incredibly fast) then 5 days at customs in Belgium.
OMG - Where did they find purple alligators at, to make this case from?

FYI - I got two of them off eBay, with 2 screen protectors, for $5, shipping included, and that's shipped from China.

However, one thing worth pointing out. Another poster in a different thread brought up to me, and was correct. I originally had a white iphone, and the clear TPU case looked great. But, then I exchange the white phone for a black phone, and the same TPU case seemed to take on a yellowish tint, which didn't look nearly as good. Something about how the case reflected light through the case and off of the black phone vs a white phone. I also thought maybe it was the cheap knock off case that was the issue, so I tried one from a local store ($25 Rocketfish clear TPU case from Best Buy), and same result.
Instead, had a Smoke colored "clear-ish" (still somewhat transparent, but not clear) TPU case, so I switched to that, and it has the look of the clear, without the yellowish tint. I highly recommend a smoke colored TPU case (or even a "frost" tinted case) instead of a truely clear TPU case with a black iPhone.
Just my two cents...
Thanks so much for this! Do you know of a good smoke colored TPU case that you could direct me to? Thanks again!
Has anyone been able to confirm this case? I ordered the SGP bumper, but like the way this looks...
Here's the one I have now, (LINK) but I'm not in love with it, as I don't like the one big hole on the bottom for the speaker/microphone/lightning port. I prefer seperate cutouts for each, as the way this one is, the piece of TPU material that runs across the phone just below the home button tends to flex and give, and provides very little protection. Also, the back seems to be a "brushed" TPU, so it's a bit more slippery than a standard TPU case. Some people might like that, but I prefer a slightly more grippy TPU.
I just ordered this one off eBay (LINK), and it should hopefully arrive in the next few days, and I'll see how this one is. I figure I might go through a few until I find one I really like. That's usually what happens each time I get a new phone.
I've got the Luvvitt Frost (black). Really like it! When in hand, feels like a quality product and instills confidence as far as protection goes. Looks good too! (IMO)
What do you mean by sharp edges? Mine has pretty hard edges but is very siliconish. It's like hard plastic and silicone on the back with a frosty touch. This one was very cheap from Hong Kong but it doesn't scratch what I can see.

Is that sector 5?
100 dollars for protection . Really?
Cheap no name plastic case for iPhone 5 with a front screen protector purchased at a local Chinese shop. Total price: $17 . The case covers the entire back (hard see through plastic) as well as the sides and front (raised front). All ports are accessible and compatible (I used the lightening to 30-pin adapter with no fitment issues). I couldn't be happier!

from the website (http://www.senacases.com/apple/iphone-5-cases/ultraslim-classic/red.jpg) it looks like 'real-life brighter,' not darker :O
i really want a red case, but if the red is as bright as the one in your picture, i dont' think i'd want it :S
this thread is great...but useless at the same time! half of you aren't telling us what case it is!!!
