Otterbox symmetry anyone ?

Was worried about this as well. Also concerned about the back collecting oil / getting dirty easily.
Im torn between Black / Grey with Triangles / Denim on my white iPhone 5
The price is really steep at $40 for regular colors and $45 for Triangle Pattern
Can anyone recommend a similar style case for a similar price? I like really thin cases but need more protection
Currently using a Hard Candy HarvestCraft which is a nice two piece case but too little protection for a phone that just ran out of its warranty
Please help thanks!
I ordered the denim, i had the black, the only pictures posted of the case, returned it and ordered that case, I'm honestly tired of black on black and wanted something different, i really wish some other people would post pics of the case in a different color
Just ordered the teal version of the case, it was just shipped. I will post pics when it arrives.
Ordered the denim from Amazon and it came with a small circular oil stain looking mark on the back
Every single picture of seen of this case including the one posted on this forum has that small little circle on the back
Ordered the black from Verizon ($10 cheaper) than Amazon and going to check if that oil spot shows up again if so it looks like its a manufacturer's defect
A little stupid to buy a case for $40 that comes marked out of the box
Mine came in over the weekend, it had that little oil mark but it honestly has been wearing off when using it after the last few days, it's been going away and it doesn't really bother me too much though, but I totally understand where you are coming from, otterbox shouldn't have that "defect" because they are charging so much and because they're an extremely premium case company
The triangle gray is On the way. Returning the tough armor I just received scratched badly in 1 day
My wife was kind enough to stop at best buy and bought me the glacier for the space gray 5s. Looks good and I love the case. Now I have the black and glacier.
Wish my wife showed interest in iPhones, or smartphones in general!

The white and grey case looks really nice
Would love to see the triangle case as i was considering purchasing it
I am over the oil mark and liking the all black case, been a while since i went basic all black, and at $31 with verizon discount it's not a bad price
Overall, it is a quality case but still about $10 too expensive at $40 and $15 too expensive for the triangle case
At least Otterbox gives a lifetime warranty
Im interested to see some of the lighter colors like teal and white and how they will hold up to dirt, scratches, and scuffs in the upcoming months

A word of caution...the triangle gray on got dis colored easily. One side turned a noticeable yellow very quickly. Put the black back on and no issues at all. Great case, but the lighter colors could be easily discolored
So far no problem with my white/gray combo. The outer shell is stiff plastic and looks like it should clean fine.
I am returning the cardinal one due to the rubber being easy to get dirty. Going to stick to the black.
It is a durable case though as my wife dropped hers on the road and it dinged the case but phone is 100% good to go.

The rubber collecting dirt makes me think that it's a soft compound similar to that of the Speck Candyshells. This is unfortunate, because that also means it'll probably 'pencil eraser' and that drives me nuts.
This is why I switched to Spigen and never looked back. Currently using a Tough Armor. Thicker than a Candyshell/Slim Armor S, but waaaaay thinner than a Commuter or Defender. And no 'pencil eraser.'

The blue is a really beautiful color
