I use casecrown lux glider on my current 4S and this thing is a tank, taken beatings and droppings from at least 4 foot. The case is marred and dented, but my iPhone is pristine. Also it keeps it fairly thin and sleek, so I ordered this for my 5. If you live in a state with tax it comes out to about 14 bucks.

I ordered a white one from Amazon – it's the case I used on my iPhone 4S. They're really good cases, feel sturdy, but don't break the bank. And they make the phone look more uniform (which I guess isn't so much a problem with the black iPhone 5).

I love this case on my 4S, but I don't know how I feel about the plastic that seems to cover the glass. The 4S one doesn't do that.

I've already ordered the case on eBay so I guess we'll see.
 
Just ordered a red one with Priority shipping. Will post pics when I get it.
 
How do you like it

it's extremely simple, nothing fancy but it'll get the job done. solid deal for $13 shipped. i'll only use it when i go running really. i have applecare+ so i don't mind carrying it naked. i really think the black iphone 5 is too sexy to cover with a case.
 
Are these usually tight? I also want to know if you can use them with a screen protector.
 
So these cases fit ridiculously tight right? So no screen protectors with this thing?

You can put a front screen protector on it. When I got it for my 4S I managed to get a screen protector on the back but there were air holes visible by the camera lens and the case was a bitch to take off with it on. I suggest if you want a screen protector just put in on the front
 
Got my shipment confirmation before noon today.

Hopefully it'll show up on Saturday.

I hope not.

This will not be my primary case, but I ordered it, because in the grand scheme of things, what is 13 bucks?
