Anyone sourced out a decent iPhone 5 Case for Friday??

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008WXM43S/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01

I went with these, shipped free with Amazon Prime. The price was $11.99 when I ordered over the weekend, but looks like it has increased to $19.99. The cases look like a good interim solution, but we will see about the fit.

This way everyone can wait a bit to pick which of the more expensive case(s) to get as they trickle out.

I saw this one too but I didn't like the 2 piece design on it. Looks decent though. Thanks.

Would cases that are on for sale right now fit? As the iPhone 5 has not been released yet.
 
pre-ordered an incipio feather a few days ago from newegg. Looks like amazon has them up but is showing 4 to 6 weeks availability. Newegg currently says available 9/20 so we'll see tomorrow how long it'll take to get.


Also impatiently waiting for desmay to release there case

It's similar to this one I'm thinking of ordering today. I'm not a fan of these but I think it will do for a few months until something nicer comes out.

The one in the link appears to be one piece. The one I got has what appers to be the equivalent of a bumper that then has a har plastic cover the rest of the phone. However, the part of the case that immediately touches the back of the phone has a thin layer of rubber melded to it. I agree that it will be a good case until more options are available.

Looks and feels great.

This one is actually not bad looking and gives protection to the back of the phone. It's cheap and Prime which is what i'm looking for. I must be searching the wrong way cause I never see this one pop up on my searches lol.

Thanks for the link.

No problem. I actually have a similar case currently on my Droid Razr Maxx, and I really like it. The back is a matte finish (so its not sticky at all like other TPU cases) and the front around the screen is a glossy finish. It looks really sleek, my girlfriend didn't even realize I have a case on my phone until I pointed it out. I should get this one on Friday, so I hope its just as good!

Went to best buy today and they had a full rack of them out. All were rocketfish brand but there were a couple nice looking ones. I got a matte-transperant TPU one. The entire other side of the display was full too with hard-shell cases.

I just ordered mine since i had 1/2 hour for guaranteed delivery for Friday. Prime has yet to fail me lol. Maybe later on i'll look at Element to see what they will offer for the iP5. Kinda of pricey though.

FWIW, I emailed their customer service earlier today to see if they'll be offering the Vapor Comp & Pro for the iP5 'cause I like to have a little color in my cases and, if so, when. Haven't heard back from them yet, though. Oh, and you can often find coupon codes for them online. I think they still have the deal where if you sign up for their newsletters, you get a 10% off code.
