I like this case. I agree with you guys that the loose bottom lip is annoying.
 
I received this case today and I'm extremely impressed. I've been using the Rocketfish clear tpu on my black I5 since day one and this one smokes it any every way. Don't get me wrong, the Rocketfish is a nice case, but the Poetic Atmoshpere seems to be the perfect blend of minimal but protective. Fits great, buttons work great and looks great. The phone almost feels so good in the case, you would think there's no case on. Bottom lip is a little loose but no big deal. If you're not planning on changing cases daily (hard to get in and out) you cannot go wrong. I give my highest recommendation.
 
Glad you guys are liking this case

I'm still open to others but my criteria is slim, front lip, and something that shows off the white well. This seems to be fitting the bill.
 
Just adding my thoughts on the Atmosphere.
It's great for what it is. I have to agree with everyone else here.

Btw, OP are you my alter ego or something? I have a smoke TPU, and the Poetic Atmosphere and bumper as well. Weird.:)
 
Can someone please take the time to measure the thickness of the phone in the case? Thanks!
 
Let me guess... Bodyguardz or any other skin on the sides probably won't fit with this case.. Can anyone confirm?

Back to front lip - 1cm

Don't have a skin on so dunno.

Just ordered a Diztronic Clear TPU case :D

always wanted to give Diztronic a try, even when I had a Galaxy Nexus.

Really liking this case a lot! keeps the slim design of the phone while showing off the white back. Too bad for the bottom lip if not this would probably be perfect.
 
I would like this a lot more if it didn't have those strange looking corner details on the back.

thanks for the measurement. seems about the same as the belkin sheer grip which i'm currently using. i'm considering the Diztronic and this poetic as my 2nd case although i have to say i'm pretty happy with the belkin except for the color (blue/gray on black phone).
 
The case is one of the best I've owned. It's so light and makes the ip5 have that naked look feel. The only thing that I didn't like about the case is the bottom lip is very very flimsy. In few months it'll get even more loose and eventually stretch out or tear.
 
Maybe. I've found TPU to be surprisingly resilient to this in the past.

But if so, I'll happily flip another $15 for a replacement.
 
I dont really like the bumper but I'll show ya some pics:

This is the MiniSuit smoke TPU (works well but waiting on my Diztronic clear)

Bumper (same mold as monoprice, dont like the button mold or the look really, and I used to love my white 4S with white bumper and other funky colors. I don't think the 5 feels right with a bumper, too bulky)

sorry for not the greatest shots in the world, took them real quick with my 4S.
 
anyone have pics of the "red" atmosphere case? The description says red but it looks more pink to me in the pictures.
 
orange on white?

is anybody getting the orange case for their white iP5?
would that combination look good?
i dont really like the black on white and red looks too pink.

Looks like a nice case! I could not quite figure out which parts (sides) were stiff polycarbonate and which parts were TPU? Thanks!
