Dear all,

I´m looking for a case, i was hoping you could help me. I´ve already searched through the forums but couldn´t quite find what i´m looking for...

-360º protection (i´ve seen many good cases BUT don´t have the bottom part, and only the top, or it´s a snap case with no up & down protection - overall, i want all bezels covered)

-smooth material (something like TPU or something like that, no rubber or any sticky material, this because i slide it up and down in my pocket and i don´t like it being "sticky" i want it "slidy"/gripy enough for it to slide nicely ahahah)

-it can be any type of case, bumper or not, but i would prefer a "normal" case rather than a bumper.

-the thinner the better, the less bulk the better, the less weight added the better (key part of what i´m looking for).

-decent price (below 30. price point and good quality/price relation)


I´m currently using the Belkin Grip Sheer(http://www.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_5727.jpg) that one.. things i don´t like: it´s way to grippy, makes the phone "bigger", way to high lay-in-table design (hurts when you put it on your ear in a call for example), ugly and boring case.

Things i´ve searched and looks nice: spigen iphone 5 case slim armor ; spigen Case Linear EX Slim Metal ... that´s about it. but i´m not 100% happy with those, the first case isn´t thin at all and the second one is a bumper with no back protection, even though it gives you back protection films...

I might seem a bit picky but i hope you can help me out!

Best,
Nostalgia
 
Power support air jacket set would be your best option imo $10 over your budget though. If not then switcheasy tones is pretty good too. Poetic atmosphere i hear is good as well
 
Definitely the power support air jacket. It is the only one that fits you specifications. Except for the price. But don't worry, it's worth it.
 
I currently have the power support clear air jacket for my white iphone 5. Looks great , doesn't interfere with your iphone's beauty .
 
My vote is to the Powersupport Air Jacket too. Plus you get screen protectors from them, anti-glare and crystal.

You're looking for the Magpul Field Case. $13

EDIT: Here's a review of the case. I can say hands down that this is where my case searched STOPPED.

Belkin Grip Candy Sheer. It's pretty much a slim bumper with a transparent backplate, so it protects all around, including a 'lay-on-the-table lip'. It looks and feels awesome, too. And no, it's not slippery.
