SPIGEN SGP Tough Armor Protective Case

I currently have an iPhone 4S but I will get me an iPhone 5S soon and I'm looking for a decent case. I found out about Spigen and am a bit overwhelmed by their current offerings.
How does the Slim Armor S compare to the new Tough Armor? They both seem really slim. Does anyone have real life experience with both?
Also it says the new Tough Armor is compatible with the iPhone 5S. But that's hard to say now, right? I reckon it will be for 99.99% but we can't really be sure until the 10th of September; thinking about the alledged fingerprint sensor in the home button for instance.
I also need it to be compatible with a Brodit car kit holder. Anyone using these cases with such a car kit?
Your thoughts?

I can help you out with one question, i use the tough armour with the adjustable holder, i have the one for a naked iphone 5 too. Works good.

Dont think i would be buying a case for a 5S now though?
Thanks for the Brodit link. Exactly what I'll need. Cheers!
I won't be buying the case right now either, but I'm looking into my options because once the new phone will be there I'd better have a case quickly.
Spigen seems to be my top choice for now.
I have tried many iPhone 5 cases, including; Incipio frequency, Belkin Candy Sheer Grip, Otterbox commuter, Otterbox defender, Speck Pixel skin HD, Speck candy shell, Spigen Slim Armor... and I have to agree, this is by far the best case I have used (quality, style, protection vs size and fit).
Only think I am not sure about is the logo window on the back, which i dont normally like, but actually it seems to suit this case somehow. I think.

Read my post above. Dropped from 6ft onto tiles, noticed since a few little pits on the back but no scratches. Slate case.
I've had mine a few weeks now and i've got 1 scratch thats hardly noticeable.
I'd just get it and not worry about it, it's better then the back of the actual phone being scratched.
No scratches at all here, unlike the Slim Armor which scratches when you look at it. It seems to be made of a different material to the Slim Armor.
Hated the case and returned it immediately.
The sleep/wake button was so unresponsive I couldn't believe it. Switched back to the slim armor.

Wow thank you,it looks awesome! What is your silver home button and do you have a screen protector/glass? I'm using the Verizon one that came with the phone.
Have anyone tried other colors? I think white/silver will look great on black ip with contrast around the hole. Moreover, scratches on bright color are less noticable.
Just ordered a white for my 64gb iphone 5 that was just replaced with a new one at the apple store 
Need to keep it looking new for the short time i will have it before selling. Hopefully this case will work on the 5s since i will be getting 3 or 4 of them since i am switching back to AT&T. Will give this case to my son most likely afterwards for his 5s. Will post picks of the white version when i receive it. Can't seem to find them anywhere.

Two and half week back I ordered from their website. I thought it will take a long time since my address is Kolkata , India. But yesterday I got it . It looks better than any other protection cases (I used OtterBox etc). I also ordered Glas. tR which is too much .. I could have ordered 3/4 Glass tR otherwise next time again I have to pay 15$ extra if something happens with this Glas tR. Here are some pics
