IPhone 5 Case Recommendations?

[Lyrical]

I'd love to go naked. I think the black IP5 looks badass. I am always real careful with my phones but, in the back of my mind is that "what if" scenario. I'd hate this to be my first naked iPhone then have that oops moment happen.

I did find this case that looks cool though....

Picked up that case on ebay from £12, not bad considering its £20 in most places.

May get this in Crystal Clear. Don't want to cover up a black iPhone 5, but don't want it scratched so seems a good compromise

This case looks nice. If I pre-ordered it now, I would probably get it before my iPhone. But I still want to see what the case looks like from the front.

Has anyone had any experience with both Minisuit and Spigen screen protectors??

The Minisuit gives you more for the money but are they worth it?

You just pay for the shipping.

i am currently have 1 black and 1 white for my white iPhone 4S.

very good quality and well protection.

the problem is you need to wait 3 - 6 weeks

Awesome got two for $5.27. Good Deal!

preordered an Incipio Feather

Hope it's the same nice material as the Smart Feather for the iPad. Also looking forward to a Pinlo Slice when available. I have one for my iPhone 4, and it's a nice option.

Magpul

Of all my cases for the iPhone 4, my go-to case is the Magpul Executive Field Case. Hope they get one in production soon for the iPhone 5!

Im hoping for another bumper style case to use with my icarbons carbon fiber wrap.

I am looking for this as well! Any recommendations? I am getting the two tone metallic iCarbons and want a bumper to go along with it.

iPhone 5 was one of Jobs last legends and thus and instant collectible for those that joined the Cult of Cupertino! One thing is fact; Jobs despised covers and or cases on his projects! From the first iPods to the first iPhone, Jobs enjoyed the art of the phone or iPod the way it was designed...scratches and all!

The 5 finally allows us to have his vision play out. Flush mounted Gorilla Glass 2, brushed aluminum case, and significantly lighter! Do you think setting it down repeatedly will scratch this glass? Will a slip from your hand onto the pavement shatter? These are yet to be determined. Also, I understand if your a mechanic or an iron worker, an Otterbox Defender is warranted! (although I believe Jobs would roll in his grave if he saw an Apple colleague with that case!)

Looking for the most minimal case I find myself really loving the Incipio Dualpro Shine for my black 5 (coming Friday) thought about bumpers too, but really love the Incipio. Check it out!? Also is the Feather shine..even LIGHTER! Looks like it will really complement the bad ass look of the Black phone. (I only wish there was an Apple logo cutout)

Look over those two with the newly trademarked "Plextonium" material! Lol! Love to hear your thoughts! Incipio usually ships all it's cases with screen protectors but these don't mention that?

There is a nice black bumper i ordered on amazon for $10. just do a search for iPhone 5 cases and it should come up.

Thanks! That looks perfect. I will wait a bit to order it though, I still feel a bit uneasy about how quickly case manufacturers have gotten cases out already just after the announcement.

Though I wasn't following all the leaks and mockups .. so maybe that is why.

Hard cases and even bumpers just scratch up your device.

iPhone 5 Magpul Case

Hopefully Magpul will be coming out with a iPhone 5 model very soon. They're iPhone 4/4S cases are a big hit and while they provide good protection they are also very slim and comfortable. There is a thread on this site about their cases or you can find them at http://store.magpul.com/prod_detail_list/125

Good Luck!

Yes, it was a little bit of a risk ordering it but I figured for $10 bucks I'd take the risk and hopefully have it for Friday.
