I'm sure I'll run a case at least for a while. I haven't really seen any and wonder if you guys have seen any that look tempting?
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 5 cases? What have you guys/gals seen that looks interesting?

I ordered a clear case from Amazon.com - I think it's called Poetic or something similar. Should get it by Thursday. I just got it to have something for now until I see something I like better. But if I can find someone to put on the InvisibleShield or Ghost Armor for me (because I cannot do it and I end up wasting them and getting thoroughly pissed off) I may be tempted to use it without a case.
I ordered the black Case-Mate Barely There case on Friday and it was delivered on Monday. I use a similar minimalist case on my iPhone 4 and like it very much. 
(I wish this new case had a clear back like my iPhone 4 Body Glove case.)

I have an otterbox defender. To be honest, I'm thinking of just rocking it naked. It looks damn good in the pictures from the reviews.
The "scuff gate" actually makes it look cooler I think. Maybe it's just me. My cautiousness will probably get the better of me and since I'm drunk a lot I'll end up slapping the case on it. We'll see.

I will now and forever use TPU cases, I think they are the most comfortable to hold, sleek and durable cases on the market, obviously they don't protect like Otterbox.
I bought this one today

I was gonna get that one but I got picky and thought the writing on the bottom looked kinda odd. So instead I got this for like $3.75 shipped with the code LUVAPPLE. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QU96MG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

I like that too, I was just a bit more drawn to the smoke color because of it being slightly transparent, it's similar to the one I have on my 4s, but more gray.

I see at the listing that they only have 1 available. I assume they customize these as they are ordered? Looks pretty good.

I currently have a very similar Diztronic Matte case for my Droid Razr Maxx, and its probably one of the best cases I've ever owned (and trust me when I say that I had a LOT of different cases when I had the iPhone 4, including the Otterbox Defender - which I hated because the silicone layer would keep getting stretchy).

Just bought this. 2 pack. I'll give one to a friend.

haha I had that case for my galaxy S2, I did not like the Matte feeling so I returned it.
Diztronic is awesome they have great customer service and great TPU cases, I just wish they had that smoked style I bought for the iPhone 5.

Oh cool. I really like the matte finish. Although maybe its a little too slippery sometimes. I tried the glossy TPU case but it was too sticky and would keep turning my pocket inside out.
Finally got this case today and I do not like it at all, it has a matte finish back, which was unexpected and it's lighter in color than the pictures.

Did you receive this case? Thoughts?

Hi is that the only reason you don't like it? How's the fit and how do the buttons feel?
