Hello,

I recently got a white iPhone 5 and was wondering if anyone had any good case recommendations. I am looking for a non-bulky, slim case that would provide good protection in case I drop my phone. I am also looking for a case that would support non-stock headphones cords that would not block the headphone jack.

Thank you for your help!
 
Elago slim in white is a really nice slim case while providing decent drop protection. It is a glossy snap on case that holds up well. The top and bottom are open so your headphones should not be a problem. The corners are nicely protected. I dropped my phone on a ceramic tiled floor from about 3 ft. The case had a nice dent on the corner but the phone was fine. I have this as a backup case and and currently using very thin eBay cases that I really like but they are so slim that they won't offer any protection in a fall.
 
I like the Elago S5 Slim Fit 2 case. Does anybody else have any thoughts or recommendations?
