just ordered this one... i looked for this kind high and low... some had back camera squared off, some didn't look they would fit right, some are too thick and some were too thick around the edges... this one fits perfect and looks great...
Got a tip for us?

Have you got it yet?
Any scratches? I've heard loads of report that it's getting them.
Considering it. Be sure to post status.
Cheers! #
Is the phone design still visible? Looks like an awesome case but I'm thinking the tint might be a little dark for the black.
Luvvitt FROST Soft Case for iPhone 5 - Frost
Luvvitt FROST Soft Case for iPhone 5 - Frost

It's not completely clear but it looks great on the phone. I also got the KaysCase and Diztronic High Gloss Clear (Frosted Matte Inside) Flexible TPU Case.
I haven't received the KaysCase yet but so far I like the Luvvitt a little better thatn the Diztronic.
Short review:
Luvvitt - Frosted on inside back, glossy on back, clear gloss on sides and top. Fits perfectly (even around my bestskinsever iPhone 5 Total Body Skin with Case Optimized Screen Skin, which has skins all around the sides, back, and front)
Diztronic - Frosted all the way around on the inside, and glossy on the outside. Fits perfectly (even around my bestskinsever iPhone 5 Total Body Skin with Case Optimized Screen Skin, which has skins all around the sides, back, and front)
Conclusion:
Frost on Diztronic is not as clear as the Luvvitt so I ended up choosing the Luvvitt for now because I wanted something minimal and somewhat clear without being completely clear. The completely clear cases (ie.-Rocketfish clear TPU) tend to stick to the back of my skins and cause some ugly stickiness.
Pictures:
Pic 1 - Diztronic on Right, Luvvitt on left
Pic 2 - Diztronic on top, Luvvitt on bottom
If I get the KaysCase soon, I'll post a pic of that one too next to the other two.

I think that Best Buy has some good ones for a good price too. Then again. Best Buy has literally anything.
Radioshack Clear Thin Case
I got this clear thin case from radioshack when I bought my phone... for $6.99 you can't really beat it. It doesn't offer any drop protection really but it worked for a bit for me... it just didn't fit my phone after I put my total body skin (which covers the sides and top/bottom of my phone).

i got the same one , they are actually 2 for $10.00 , i love mine , great fit ,and looks amazing . as for drop protection , i had a similar case on my i4 and the case do absorb the impact when dropped , the case was cracked but my i4 was still mint ! , this radio shack clear case do have a high front lip so if you drop it face down ,it will have protection indeed , pick one up at your local radio shack today ...sincerely your radio shack spokesperson hehe
Does the little lip around the top of it keep stuff from falling down in the crack between the phone and the case?
I never noticed anything falling between the phone and case. The case provides a very snug fit. For $10 for 2 cases just go and try one!

Has anyone tried this one yet?
I'm so tempted
Looks awesome though

I went and bought 2 cases. Honestly I think they fit as nice as my 20 dollar switcheasy does, and also does in fact have more of a lip around the edge which seems like it'll keep stuff from going between the phone and case. The case is worth the 6.99 or 10 for 2 and I recommend it for anyone looking for an immediate solution that you don't have to wait to ship to you.
I am not sure what you mean by design... but for ultra thin clear case, it's a good one... i like quality and feel of it... my roommate didn't even notice I had the case on and was like why don't you try it on... they do have other designs too

Have it...like it. Had it since Saturday and has just one small scratch on the back. It WILL scratch but not super easy. IMO I don't think there's a clear case out there that won't scratch.
I have the clear one and it's amazing. Super scratch resistant and it fits the iPhone perfectly.

I meant is the actual phone design visible through the case ie the black/ slate and logo, etc but I think you answered that now haha
just picked up the clear case from RS for $6.99. I don't really want a case, but it'll do until my SGP protector comes in the mail, and maybe the case will grow on me...
iPhone 5 Leather Case Sleeve
I have this new iPhone 5 leather sleeve from Atelier Pall. It came as a slim fit for my iPhone 5 but after one week now it fits perfectly. The hand stitched material leaves a good look also. You can check this and others on http://atelierpall.com

20% off today makes this so tempting. Anything special about Spigen over all these other clear cases? I mean, at least they say it's made in Korea, but still not USA.
