The best thin case for iPhone 5?

I ordered mine from http://www.fruitycovers.com Not sure of the dimensions but they are ultra thin cases.
Amazon has them for $39.95. When I checked last week, they had a lot in stock... but they're going fast. It's my favorite case by far... and I think the matte black air jacket looks sexy on a black iPhone 5.
Appreciate Yall!
Updates: I finally decided to give a try to the Poetic Atmosphere, have been using it for 2 months now
It fits tight but its hard when you tryna take it off, it weigh like a naked iPhone 4 when the case was on
Still trying to look for better cases that can protect the whole phone from scratches and can still keep slim and light

I have the Spigen Linear Metal case, and I really like the fit and the two tone look of the one I have.
I got the slate color and it comes with an extra red bottom piece.
I also use a dark aluminum home button, and I think it matches the sides of the case and looks good.
I have just a flat screen protector on it and I know someone earlier mentioned they didn't know why anyone without a glass screen protector would use aluminum home button but I think the look tells it all. It looks stunning to me.
Anyway, just my two cents.

We put up a guide to specifically answer that question!

I recently got a similar one like this but in blue. I agree, very nice thin case and fits very well. And can't beat the price either.
Best thin case? For the money, it's tough to beat the Caudabe Veil. Hands down the thinnest case I've seen. They've got pretty good customer service too. My first one had a little scratch, which admittedly is something I totally could've lived with. Snapped a pic and sent it to them and they agreed to send me a replacement.
Going for 9.95 on Amazon which interestingly enough is 3 bucks cheaper than on Caudabe's website. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords="Caudabe:+the+veil"

Agreed on the Caudabe Veil. Excellent case, especially for the price. Looks like it's gone up a little bit, but still pretty cheap.
I also tried the Anker Glaze. Decent enough case, but suffice to say that's not really what I'd consider a "thin" case. It's more along the lines of something like the Speck Candy Shell.
