Hello, for the past week or so I've been using my iP5 naked and honestly I really like it this way. However, while holding the phone naked it seems very slick/slippery. I Sometimes honestly have a hard time getting a good grip on the phone.

So I thought if I could just get a slim bumper that's possibly rubber it would help with gripping. This way I can still use the phone "almost" naked and not have to put a case on it.

Does anyone know of a good iP5 bumper that is not too big that could help me with grip issues?

Thanks.

Power support flat bumper, or Caze thin edge (in black/orange/red it has a rubberized coating) are best.
 
Spigen Linear EX Slim Metal is probably one of the thinnest bumpers around, but it will not help with the slippery effect from personal experience.


That is my one gripe with it.

Bump bumper

Bought a black bumper from this website www.bumpnz.com
Granted, it's a little more expensive than most bumpers this style, but you get what you pay for. I've had it for a while now and haven't come across any issues or anything.
 
A little off-topic - does anyone know how the 5's antenna would hold up against bumpers, in general? I remember my 4 would get all sort of scruffs from rubber cases and whatnot.
