Thanks for the pictures.
I was hoping the lip would extend over the front of the screen just like it did on the iPhone 4/4S. Also, the cutout for the lightning port is too small and won't fit my 3rd party cables.
Gonna just stick to my generic bumper, bummer since I love how the old caze case

So it might actually allow it to fit over my side skins? Since you said it's a little loose?

Screen protector of any good quality?

I also just got my Caze Thinedge.
Great feel, super, super slim. The lip doesn't extend over the front like in the case of the 4/4S version. The benefit here is there is no screen protector lifting. The downside is that the case is a little loose on the sides. There is a bit of give due to it not wrapping around the front of the phone.
Mine also came with a slate colored clip, as well as a red one. I am using the slate one and it looks very nice.
Overall, great case. One I will be using for quite some time. I wish it was a little tighter, that is the only downside. I have skins on the back and sides (as well as screen protector) and the fit is not super tight. You have to work it a bit on the corners to get it to wrap around close enough to install the clip, but that's no biggie.

I received mine as well today. I will not be using it. Unfortunately it doesn't support any of the 30 pin dock connectors. I knew the adapter wouldn't work but the extension cable doesn't work either. Aside from the cables, the case offers little to no lay on table and the screen shield it comes with was terrible (not same class as SGP). I find the button cutouts make the volume and power button difficult to press.
Add the fact that Caze shipped the black version when I ordered Silver. Overall, I'll have to look for a different style case.

Got the pinlo blade edge II, see photos below. I also received the ********** backs today as well. Slightly off centered application.
Anyway, as for the case, it's very thin, i love the color, and love it's transparency. It feel slippery in the hand, but I was coming from a incipio Frequency which had kind of a matte texture to it. It definitely won't protect from much, but will keep the chamfered edges nice. It's very light and unobtrusive! It's thinness makes me worried it won't last long, though I won't be taking it on and off much.

Just got my Caze thinedge today (plus they did indeed send me a 2nd for having to wait longer!)
It is awesome!
Just what I was looking for. Keeps the original look of the iPhone, and adds barely any weight or bulk.
The buttons were harder to press at first, but now I'm use to it.
Plus the screen protector looks to be of the same quality as the spigen one I bought, exact same cutout for the front side anyways. I'm not concerned about the lack of front lip because 1) I have a screen protector on, and 2) I don't make an effort to lay my phone face down (who does?)
I highly recommend this bumper.
A+ quality and A+ customer service.

Well, new stuff has come to light recently: SGP Spigen has updated their Neo Hybrid EX range with slimmer bumpers as well.
That should be the best deal on shallow bumpers right now.

Best deal in terms of quality and design. The best deal in terms of raw $$$ would be the Poetic Borderline which was mentioned on page 1, because it's on sale for $8.95 right now.

...except the Poetic Borderline is a P.O.S.

The lightning port had been updated to fit the connector after the iPhone 5 was released, which was the only complaint for it.
Can anyone please share picture of silver thinedge?
Not sure which one is better for my black iphone 5: black or silver one

Here is the Silver. I agree with Radiating that it does look a little odd. Black looks better. I just ordered the clear one so we'll see how that looks on the phone.

I have a budget of $10 and I want a bumper which is thin and will protect my phone from drops. I had the casesquare (http://amzn.com/B009NIN81I)
bumper but it got very loose on my phone. I want something nice like the colorant b1 or the thin edge but they're too expensive. I am looking into the photive bumper to the poetic atomosphere( Ik it's a case). Btw my headphones have a little thick plug so I need enough room for it to fit.

The Monoprice one seems rather well fitting, thin, and inexpensive: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=112&cp_id=11213&cs_id=1083111&p_id=9772
