Here is a video review of sfbags Hint leather sleeve with a unique window on the front. $25 and real leather. Good quality, and I think good drop protection.

I got it last week, and find it very practical for protecting my naked phone when not in use.

I like that it is long enough to protect the end of the phone: my Sena Ultra Slim is a bit short and leaves the bevel and metal end exposed.

The screen works great for short SMS, email or browsing.

I'm enjoying this case very much, as it hits all the points I need for a sleeve case, when the iPhone 5 is used bare or 'naked', as the term is used. In particular, the clear window is very unique, and have only seen that design for phone exercise bands. Having it in a nice leather package is the attraction...and I'm finding the black mesh more useful than I imagined. I didn't intend to get a wallet case, but this is very useful for the gym, earphones, credit cards, cash, and other things.

Another useful purpose for the rear mesh: I've lost several BT devices before. Now a place for my Jawbone.
