Unofficial iPhone 5 Case Picture Thread

[SFoxx91]

I thought it would just be easier if we could post pics, along with price and info on where to buy instead of posting 100+ threads on cases. Please keep the comments minimlal as this should just be a thread with pics and basic info.

I'll start:

Rocketfish hard case (black) Edit: Fixed.
Purchased at Best Buy Mobile for $25
Finish is smooth, doesn't scuff. Case is really thin, doesn't overlap the screen.

I bought the case the same day as I got the phone, intended as a temporary case. I'm looking into getting the SGP soft clear or a Caze matte grey.

Sorry for the crappy pics. These were taken at work with a coworkers GS2.

It looks nice but very basic. I'm pretty sure you could find a case like that cheaper online.

Does it hold the iPhone firmly at least?

It is very basic, as for its intended purpose, just temporarily. This was just a launch case I found at the mall. Holds the phone VERY firm. No movement whatsoever.

I will be returning it since I have 30 days, just waiting for the right case to show up.

Thats actually the rocketfish hard case. Not the soft case.

I have the same one and i like it quite a bit. I compared it to an incipio feather and it seems higher quality and the edges are smoother.

There's a 30 day return on those? That's pretty awesome, never knew that.

Smart move.

Truth. I always get them mixed up.

Rocketfish soft case (black)

Psst... That's a rocketfish Hard Shell case.

The soft shell is this one which is TPU.

The hard shell actually does have a higher potential for scratching and since it has more exposed openings it can catch dirt that can rub against the aluminum. I got the actual soft shell. Good fit,looks nice.

Cheap $10 cases bought from street vendors in Manhattan. These will do until the good ones are available.

 

[Roessnakhan]

CaseCrown Glider Case, $10 ($4.99 s/h) on Amazon. I've stuck with CaseCrown from my 4S – the cases are sturdy and snug, make the phone look a bit more uniform, and are relatively inexpensive.

Yes, I know and the other threads are more of a discussion thread whereas this is meant more for just pics and info on price, where its available, experiences etc.

 

[mzd]

well in that case...

Griffin Reveal
$19.99 at Best Buy.

i'm probably going to return it though. the sides are soft and flexible yet not that comfortable to hold. it is very "box-like".

Yeah, I want one where everyone posts the pictures of their phones in the cases. One of those was 5 pages and only a few pictures.

Oooooooh! Daddy like!

Thanks OP! I was going to buy an incipio feather, but this one doesnt have that stupid plastic bar that goes ontop of the volume rocker area. And the weird indentation on the back.

Higher quality than the feather??

EDIT:

2 nasty reviews on this rocketfish say it scratches the phone!
