Yeah, tell us where you got 'em :)

Also I'm dying to see what a black Otterbox Commuter looks like on an iPhone 5 (not just the frontal photos from the website).
 
iPhone5 looks ugly with any case on it. :cool:

black iphones with scratches on the metal look worse.... :p

Why do you want to return it?

it was an impulse buy, really just settled on one of the extremely limited number of cases they had in stock, it was a recommendation from the clerk and he told me to try it for a week, if i didn't like it take it back and they should have a bigger selection then.

i really like this one. is the material some sort of cloth or is that just a graphic on plastic?

its cloth-like on the back, plastic case, but then the back panels and sides have that cloth/fabric, its a great case, better then any of the ebay crap cases ive been using, just not feeling the look.

More info can be had here about it: http://www.speckproducts.com/iphone-case/iphone-5-cases/fabshell-burton-for-iphone-5.html

Yes it is on the rear. That guards against that "wet" look I believe. Makes the rear look silver which I don't mind
 
That orange Hermes slipcase is GORGEOUS!!!!! Me wants!!!!!

Thanks. I totally love it.

When I saw the orange, I knew that was the one for me. I was originally considering the black one, but it would disappear with a black phone. I really wanted it to "pop."

If you are serious, ask for Michelle at the Fairfax Square store. She is a great Sales Associate. My wife and I deal only with her.
 
Thank you, Hammie! I've got a couple of other expenses this month so may have to wait a while but that case is well worth the wait. Orange is my absolutely most favorite color and aside from that I really like the styling and design, too. I prefer to use my iPhone naked at home and then slip her into something when going out so that any debris in my pocket doesn't scratch or smudge, and right now I am still using an old orange leather Fortte slipcase that I gotten quite some time ago. It does the job until I can find just what I want. That photo of that gorgeous Hermes slip case.....I took one look and, yep, that is what I want.

Since the current version is a little short on the iPhone 5 (assuming that is what you have) due to the design fitting the 4/4S, waiting a little while may be the best choice. On my iPhone 5 (black version and also naked), the case covers up to the top of the front ear speaker and below the front camera.

Yes, I do have the iPhone 5. Love it! Flawless black one. Right, that is what I am thinking, too.....that waiting isn't such a bad idea because surely they will bring out an iPhone 5 version that will adjust for the added height of the new model. I only hope they keep the beautiful orange color!

Orange is classic Hermes. They will never do away with that color. ;)
 
I use the one in my signature! But there are just so many great cases out there it's really down to personal taste.
 
Here are the 3 cases I have so far:

Griffin Reveal. Picked it up at Best Buy as an interim solution up until more options were available but I actually like it and will probably continue to use it--not too bulky, clear back doesnt hide the phone.

I don't know if these pics will do this case justice for how slim it is, but I can tell you it is slimmer than the Griffin Reveal posted above as I had both in my possession earlier.

The buttons work great no problems there and aesthetically I think this case is winning, especially the cool little volume button.

It's really as close to stealthy as the phone itself.
