Clear iPhone 5 Case ?

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.
If you put your ear to it, you can hear it play Gangnam Style

I'm debating between the Luvitt Frost and the Diztronic. Which one's buttons (especially the sleep/wake button) are more tactile/clicky and easier to press?

I actually ended up with the kayscase. Easily my favorite among them all. The buttons are super easy to press and the case just looks great IMO.
Since the Kayscase has a fully open bottom, I don't think it is right for me. But between the Diztronic and Luvitt, which one's buttons are easier to press?
Also, I was wondering which case's back is less tacky/sticky.

Yeah, I ordered mine too. Ordered the dry ice version. Hopefully less finger prints . Let me know what you think about this case. I'll keep you posted too
I ordered from id America too this weekend. I ordered the id America Liquid case in Matte White:

It looks like a good TPU frosty clear case. I like how it has a matte back and the sides are glossy. The Dry Ice case looks nice but I am more of a TPU fan than polycarbonate

Nice ... I cant wait for mine. My black iPhone is in perfect condition right now wanna keep it that way
Anyone have any advice for a crystal clear tpu case that is soft and flexible and not the hard snap in cases. Ive ordered a couple from ebay which have been cheap and just ok. The first one I got fit really well but the sides were rounded and bugged me. Also the buttons were hard to push. The second one had flat sides like I want but was a little too small so the fit was bad.
So any advice for a clear tpu soft case that fits perfect, has flat edges, and the buttons are easy to push. Seems like this would be something easy to manufacture but I've had a tough time finding one.
Thanks for the help.

I picked up a rocketfish mobile clear soft shell case at Best Buy yesterday. I'm really liking it so far. It's not super hard but not soft either. It was only $25. I'll probably end up keeping it when my sector 5 arrives as a back up. I'll put up some pics in a minute or two.

I've looked at that rocketfish case and it is basically exactly the same as the case I got off ebay for $5.00. The thing I don't like about it is the sides are rounded and the buttons are kind of hard to push. If you like the rocketfish, you should save yourself some money and pick up the one off ebay.
Yeah I might return it in a few days when my other case comes in. I knew I could get it on Amazon cheaper but I needed it right away. I definitely think it was the best one they had though. I realized later that it was rounded and you didn't want that. I don't use the volume buttons much so it doesn't affect me. I think the lock button works pretty good. Sorry I wasn't more help

Just received my case... "Designed in New York. Made In China."

I have already e-mailed id America requesting either an exchange or a full refund including pre-paid return postage so that I can return their product back to them. If I wanted to spend $20 or more dollars on a case, I'd expect more than just the same kind of quality (or lack thereof) that I can buy on eBay for ~$4. I'll stick with my Otterbox Commuter (first time's a charm, Assembled in USA, from ordering direct from Amazon) until I find something better.

I got mine at http://www.iphoneshop.net They we're running it as there "daily deal" @ $7.50 for a while so you may want to check back to see if they run it again. They always have something for a steal.
As for the case I'm generally happy, it's no otterbox, but why hide such a beautiful phone with an ugly bulky case. I feel like the naked cases provide enough protection but keep the beauty.

Please post back here informing whether or not they agree to the pre-paid return postage. I have dealt with them before and they did not agree to it regarding a faulty product.
I actually like the cheap eBay cases $1.58 in the frost color. They are super thin and fit extremely well. Also they are easy to put on and take off. They are actually pretty scratch resistant as well. I've tried a ton of white and clear cases and the cheap ones ended up being my favorites. I tried to get the Spigen in soft clear and ordered 3 different ones and still couldn't get one that wasn't scratched up out of the package. So I can only imagine what they would look like after a week.
They sent me a pre-paid UPS shipping label. I told them I was turned onto them by the MacRumors forums and that I was disappointed to report back my findings on here. I did say to them that if they could produce an Assembled in USA product that I would gladly take a replacement. Needless to say, they could not provide any alternative solution and just e-mailed me the return label.
