8, 4 cheapos from eBay, 1 fake griffin reveal from the flea market, poetic atmosphere and bumper, speck burton fabshell
 
all those cases for a phone you'll upgrade in a year...

Just like with the durable previous versions (which am giving away to loved ones or being used as backup etc media) my iPhone 5 will last for many years especially if my cases are as durable then in the furure my loved ones will also enjoy them or as an iPod or purely as pocket computer or camera yada yada yada.

----------

Costly now but in the long term it is a good investment plus I travel a lot and it is one way making it looks fresh (once in a while).
 
Lets see...

- Element Case ($160)
- Vaja Grip ($90)
- Makr Leather Pouch ($100)
- Spigen Crumena ($30)
- Spigen Neo Hybrid Ex ($32)
- (2) Spigen GLAS.tR ($70)
- too many BSE, Steinheil protectors
 
Got a cheap TPU case from amazon and a Desmay Slight knock-off for $4 from Ebay on the way. Probably going with a Twig when they come out.
 
I got:

1. Case Zero 5
2. Ringke Slim
3. Anker Glaze
4. Diztronic
5. Switcheasy Nude (Returned)

My favorite of the ones I have is the Diztronic followed by the Ringke Slim.
 
Griffin Reveal - returned
BodyGuardz rear skin - not installed; will probably resell
SwitchEasy Tones - should be delivered today
 
Otter Box Commuter: $20
Speck Candy Shell: $17.50

Generik AG/AF film: $3.95
Xtreme Guardz Front and Rear (only using rear): $1.50

Where did you get the Candyshell for $17.50?

Edit: I see them on Amazon. The black one is $16.75. I think I am taking mine back to BB. I didn't think to look on Amazon for the price match.

I got 5. Otterbox, a custom Alluminium case I got built at my local machine shop, couple of bumper cases.
 
1 - SGP Spigen Crumena in black.
May get another pouch in a year if this wears out - I had about 5 cases for my iPhone 4 in its two and a half year history! :p
 
Add Navor's folio wallet in my soon to be collections. :D

Colcasac is a keeper. My Rating: 9/10
 
Same pattern as last gen for me.

1) Super ultra cheap-o one from Amazon that is exactly as cheap quality as its price
2) Full TPU case due to paranoia of scratches
3) Bumper due to hating having back covered
4) Invisible shield because hated having bumper thickness
5) Naked because hated the feel of shield

I really should know better but in the end Im sure I'll do the same thing next upgrade.
