If you own a gold iPhone 5S do you have a case?

Bought this case and very happy!
+1. I am using the Air Jacket clear. It is a very nice case, provides excellent coverage and is nearly invisible. The only gripe I have is that it is really slippery.
Did you buy it from powersupport's website? i ordered it Sunday but have not received it yet.. i paid for 2 day USPS too...
Please please post photos when installed. I'm waiting to find an awesome bumper for this and it's on the top of my list. Is this in white?
Currently rocking the brown leather case until I can find the bumper for me.
Amazon Prime - $39.99
It was more expensive than PowerSupport but there was no shipping charge and it came in one-day.
I have a simple cheap clear slim case just to protect it from small falls, not worry about it laying around etc. I despise anything bulky, even in the slightest if it takes away from the aesthetic appeal of the phone.
Will return to post pics but that might be a few weeks away. Not in the US right now and it may be a couple weeks till I get the phone shipped to where I am.
This is the white one. It's a customized design where I chose white frame, gold screws, clear inserts and a blue backing. If the gold screws don't math the gold on the 5s I will try to get them colour matched via powder coating.
Oh ok. No worries. I'll probably have mine by then. Built the same one but haven't hit order. How does the white look?
Never used cases.
Dropped my 3GS in a freak accident where I yanked my headphones at the perfect angle out of my pocket and my phone flies 10 feet in the air and falls on concrete. Screen was fine but back was littered with dents.
iPhone 5 I dropped on the tennis court but no nicks or scratches from it, so that was lucky.

front/back screen protectors & that's it
no sense in buying the gold model if you're going to cover it

The problem w these case is that after a while the rubber white silicon will get dirty or turn color. I owned a few of these and they all do it. This is why I stop buying them

You guys think this is a better clear case than the power support air jacket?
I would keep it although I don't find the leather to be that nice. It almost looks like fake leather off bat. As I'm using it more it's starting to get a better coloration. Leather gets better over time. Some people are complaining about the wear and tear but I think it looks better.
With that said, I just don't think it feels like genuine leather and looks rather silly next to my ONA leather brixton bag.
So I totally photoshopped it haha (hope you don't mind me using your photo)... then went ahead and purchased the same combo! My co-worker just got the silver case which I think looks good with the gold iPhone still... but wanted to try something different.

I currently have this one on my black iPhone, but I think it might be super on the gold 5s too. I could see either the black, tan or brown looking great.
