Best Slim Iphone 5 Case

is it true desmay has zero lip, so you can't place phone face down without scratching the screen?
What are the top premium case brands? For a slim light but protecting case? I was a completely clear case with a slight lip on the screen size? Nothing to bulky or cheap looking..
Sometimes I don't want to notice me screen light up and distract me. "Do not disturb" will help at night, but there's time at work when I'm just too involved, and alerts just distract me from getting stuff done.
I'm hoping InCase releases a Slider for the iPhone 5 much like theirs for the 4.
It's such an excellent, slim, non-bulky case, and offers excellent drop protection to the phone.
With the iPhone 5 being as thin as it is, maybe the new slider will only make the phone as thick as an uncased iPhone 4!

I've got a Ringke Slim on its way from Amazon along with SGP Ultra Crystal screens. I'll report back on quality -- I know the Ringkes are fairly popular with the Galaxy Nexus crowd, and $9.99 got me to take a flyer.

I've had a couple of those and have been happy with them. I think they are already selling iPhone 5 ones too.
This time around I ordered a customized slim case from Etsy. It'll probably get here before my phone haha
Not a barely there technically since that's only what the CaseMate ones are called. But the one I ordered is also a slim profile case, and I got it personalized with an initial.

Which one did you like best? Definitely going to pick one of these up when available.
I've spent FOREVER pouring over known reviews for gazillions of slim cases...and finally ..I"m going with the Ringke via Amazon with the SGP Crystal films ...sooo..it's like $10. THen in three months i'll order the PhoneSuit Battery Case!!!

I have had this brand slim case on my iPhone 4 and bought the blue one yesterday for my iPhone 5. I love how slim they look and they last if you don't drop your phone that much haha.
you could buy the ones on the link I have up there for 24 but its that expensive cause it comes with a screen protector. I bought mine off amazon for 10.99 plus shipping. Heres the link for that one: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca...1347836668&sr=8-15&keywords=iphone+5+elago+s5

Both are very well made. It will depend on how they design them for the iPhone 5. The Pinlo has the volume buttons protected, which I like, but then is a little too open at the dock area. The Desmay has openings that are a little large for the volume and mute, but does have more protection near the dock. Really close to a tie!
Ummm, wow. I wasn't even going to get a case. That's a VERY nice looking, though! I am going to get Apple Care + when I get my phone Friday, but I bookmarked that if I decide to bite... It's been the only case i'd even consider
Senna Ultraslim. As classy as the phone itself.
Will be available in approx 10 days according to customer service.
They were one of the first available for the last two years.
An excellent product built to perfection.

Then also check out the Pinlo Slice. Thinnest and matte. But if you ever drop your phone, the case will crack.
