Are you also using a screen protecter for your phone?

I am using the Power Support Crystal screen protector that came with the flat bumper and I have the rear protectors from SGP on the back. I initially had a SGP Glas.tr on my phone, but it was slightly askew (which wasn't impacted by the bumper at all). I removed it anyway because it was driving me crazy. Also, the glass protector made it feel unbalanced b/c there's a decent amount of lip provided by the bumper, and it made it completely flush on the front while the back was recessed. It just felt weird to me.

Post pics of your case!

I've tried a lot of cases and these two are my favorite. Belkin grip candy sheer is a close third.


(Both of these are made in America ;))

The Magpul over the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer? Would you mind sharing your reasoning? I've had my eye on the Magpul for quite a while but can't bring myself to buy one, because the Belkin is probably the closest to perfect that I'll ever get.

Just personal preference really. I like the feel of the magpul a little bit more with the grip of the back. I'm also a bigger fan of the buttons on the magpul. Plus like I said, made in America. BGCS is a great case though for sure.
 
Paged through all of these and all of the cases in the "wallet case" thread, but still haven't found one I quite want. I really only want to go in for about $30-$35 which is difficult, I know.

Ideally I wanted a leather-ish wallet case that fit the iPhone5 very snuggly and allowed me to carry a bit of cash and a card+ID which adding much bulk. Either as a flip case or a sleeve.

This would be great but I'm looking for a dark leather style: http://www.etsy.com/listing/109596320/iphone-5-sleeve-iphone-case-iphone-cover?ref=sr_gallery_39&ga_search_query=iphone+5+wool&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all

Anyone have or seen anything like that?

Currently my phone is naked totally. I just switched back to iPhone a couple of days ago. I had a 3Gs for three years when I got back from Iraq, then I had a Galaxy S3 from Sept '12 - June -13. I had been thinking of switching back before I started my year abroad, but when I saw the iOS7 intro I was sold.
 
Caze ThinEdge with V5 Carbon Backplate

Black Caze ThinEdge
V5 Carbon Backplate
Spigen Jelly Button
GreatShield Ultra Matte Anti-glare Screen Protector
Element Case Side Wraps

Cycled through a variety of different cases and found this has been the most streamlined. Retains the form factor of the phone, feels good in the hand, and looks pretty slick. If I decide to change anything I'd maybe spring for a Power Support bumper but I'm pretty happy with the set-up right now.

I'm currently using a fake Sector 5 Black Ops case which can be seen here (post #411):

Fake Sector 5 Black Ops

I have also put a carbon skin around the sides of my iPhone 5 so that it matches the carbon on the Attack back plate.

So far, I am liking this combination a great deal. It does add a bit of weight to the phone but I like that as personally, I think a naked iPhone 5 is a little too light weight...!

I'm actually looking at getting practically the same exact setup as you. It looks like these pictures have the flash turned on. Could you post a couple of pictures without the flash on please?
Thanks

Best I could do with an ancient 5 mp camera! Anything specific you're looking for?

My case

Real calculator case I picked up instead of those fake silicon crappy ones. I love it, gets a lot of attention from people and I actually use the calculator way more than I thought I would. Their site is here.
