Unsure of what to get personally, interested to see what others are getting.

I'm looking for something quite minimal, possibly a bumper or thin plastic clip on jobby. Most seem to clash with the gold finish though

I've ordered a Speck Candyshell in White/Peacock.
The ring around the home button will still be gold so people will be able to tell which one i have ;) I drop my phone too much to not have a case like the candyshell on it!
 
agree best case to show off design this is what i used for my iPhone 5 and i am ordering another one this wknd for my gold iPhone 5S

Does the clear plastic stay pristine, or do you notice scratches on it after using it for awhile?

You're counting on people having better visual discrimination than I do. There's no way I would notice that detail unless I was sitting right next to you.

I honestly don't care that much if people know which color I have.
 
If I were getting an iPhone 5S I'd likely get a Gemshell so you could actually see the phone itself.

I reserved a gold iPhone and I'm going to pair it with a see-thru red plastic case. It should clash with the gold on the back, yet show the lovely gold accents from the front.
