I just bought a cheapie until there is some full aluminum minimalist beauty of a case to drop $50-100 on as a lifetime investment for the i5. And not cheesy-techy-sci-fi-looking, please and thank you. I hope Element is listening, the sector is ew.
 
From what I've read I think it will be at least a couple of weeks until there are quality cases for the iPhone 5. I personally am hoping that Roberu ends up making a case because I really enjoyed it with my 4. If anyone knows of any cases like that coming into the market soon, please let me know.
 
Not sure what you would call high end other than something that isn't cheapie stuff?

The Seidio Cases are available and they are supposed to be nice. I ordered a Surface.

I am also considering a Twig Case.

Same here, do you think the nickel vapor pro will be worth the price? Silver looks pretty good too and will be cheaper.

If they make a nickel vapor comp for the 5, i want it.

Ditto this. Asked customer service yesterday about whether or not they'd have either the Vapor Comp or Pro for the iP5 and she had no idea.

They're full of **** lol. It's a small company, Cristina Rodriguez is their single customer service rep.
 
Element is the only high end brand I know for iPhones. They certainly look nice but I still think they are ridiculously overpriced.
 
All high end cases for the iPhone 5 will look abysmally ridiculous and make you look like a fool. If you want something as nice as possible for a case, get something simple and clean. The overcomplicated, weird, and or bulky "high end" cases will make you look silly.
