iPhone 5 Bumper Style cases

I always loved rubber bumper cases, but fell in love with the aluminum ones as soon as a friend gave me his old one.
If you get the right aluminum case, and pair it with some anostyle, you'd have an awesome looking phone.
 
Bumper from www.bumpnz.com

Bought a black bumper from www.bumpnz.com awhile back and it's worked very well for me. It's slimmer than others i've seen but still protects the phone which is good. It's a little bit more costly than other bumpers but well worth it...🙂

And what about the one by BestCase? It looks like it's very good but it isn't available to purchase online... just at Target

I tried this bumper. Wasn't as thin as I had hoped for and interfered with my Ghost Armor screen protector. I returned it.

what is the total thickness with the phone in it?

how is the button feedback (in particular, how is the power button on top)?

I've got a red one. It's nice, a proper tight fit unlike those cheap Amazon ones I've tried.

I don't think that's a screen protector / skin! Looks more like simply one of those apple stickers that you get with each iPod/computer.

As for the bumper; another vote for one of the cheap Chinese knock-offs! I've got a white version of the pictured 2-shot moulded one on my white iP5.
The hard bit is smooth, durable, impact resistant.
The rubber bit cushions just where you need it, and stretches at the bottom to get on the iphone where there's a gap in the rigid plastic.
All ports well located and accessible, the button extensions tactile and elegant.

Been on for several months now; as good as ever. I actually bought a single piece bumper at the same time, expecting to choose between the two. I haven't even taken that out the pack yet!
