Incipio Feather vs Switcheasy Tones vs Monoprice bumper w/pics

[thatappleguytoday]

I just wanted to pass some info to those still looking for a quality case for there iP5. Out of all the cases I've tried so far, these 3 are def my favs.

Each has it's pros and cons of course...here's my breakdown

Total Protection-Tones
Tactile Feedback-Feather (no coverage), but Tones over Monoprice bumper
Ports-Tones (lightning port doesn't work too well with the bumper)
Feels best in hand-Feather (love the slim feel of this case)
Lay on table design-Monoprice (Tones is very slight and so is the Feather)

All 3 work just fine with front and back screen protectors

I like using cases with minimal logo branding

Right now, I'm using the Feather because it feels great in the hand and it keeps the slim line of the phone.

Here are some comparison pics for you guys and gals

Great summery there,

I have a Tones case on way to me.

I did think about the Feather but I had one on my dad's 3GS and he is hardly a heavy user and it split in like 8 months

I disagree on the Monoprice. It lifted my extreme guards on the corners.

Love the feather. Always worked well for me ever since I got one for my 4. Tones are OK in terms of coverage but they look tacky to me.

Just picked up a Feather at Walmart....might use it to hold me over until my SGP Bumper arrives....or just go naked until then and return the feather.

Case-Mate Naked should also factor in here. I just received my clear version here and really like it.

Sorry I don't have any pictures. Because, you know, my phone is my camera...

The Tones seems to be the best out of the bunch here. I like cases to be as skinny as possible but 95% of the "ultra slim" cases out there (including the Incipio) leave the top and bottom completely open, so the phone is susceptible to scratches, scuffs, and dents if dropped. Not practical imo. My view is that if you're gonna do a case, it should cover the entire body or might as well go naked.

skin ? How well has the case held up? Thanks
