Just ordered one yesterday. I have heard nothing but great things about the magpul. Additional bonus, $11.00 shipped via amazon prime.

I picked up a Travik today at an apple store, not sure if I'm sold on it. It certainly offers good protection for a bumper, but the buttons are very stiff on it. And for $30 it ain't cheap...
I've ordered the following from Piel Frama.

Hopefully it will be a good one. I wanted something slim and simple that covered both the back and front.

I went with the Apple black leather case for my iPhone 5S. I love the combo and very happy with it. Previously, I had Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU for my iPhone 5 (had it also on my 5S for few days), but the case over time got loose and my phone would slightly move in the case - very annoying.
My brother gave me his dark blue Magpul Field Case. I bought the black Avivo Rail + Visor because it was half off after a coupon (I'm a sucker for deals). I've bought products from Avivo before and I'm a big fan of the customer service and design. I wish they still had their aluminum products.
However, my everyday case will be the Pad & Quill Little Pocket Book. I got the brown leather with the blue interior. I had the BookBook for the iPhone 4S, but I didn't like how they changed it to a snap-in design for the BookBook 5, and the ginormous camera cut-out was a little unseemly for me. Funny thing is I originally didn't like the book-wallet concept (I won the BookBook iPhone 4S in a twitter contest) and I didn't use the BookBook for months after receiving it. Forced myself to give it a shot for a few months, now I can't imagine NOT having a book-wallet for my smart phone.

those look pretty nice, especially the blue leather/alum one. not a bad price too.
Agree. I think it's going back. I got my wife a GREAT case on Amazon and after seeing it in person I ordered myself one.
It's a LUVVITT Clearview and is less than $20. Got the wife the pink one and I'll have to say it looks sharp on the white/silver 5s. Ordered myself the black.
It's more than a bumper as it has coverage for the back but its a very thin and seems like it would provide decent drop protection.

also the back doesn't scratch I own 2 of them black and clear
Ya this is my new favorite case. My wife LOVES her's and I can't wait to get my black on one Wednesday. Even ships with a peel off protector on the inside and outside of the clear back to ensure its pristine.
I need to order another one cause I gave my black one to my wife which she went with the space grey great combo...these by far for the price can't beat em
My favorite case with my 4s has been the Incipio Silicrylic case...it comes with a silicone sleeve and a hard case that kind of snaps around it.
I ended up ordering the Incipio Dual Pro which I think is basically the same thing for the 5s and hoping it is equally awesome.

I bought a 3$ eBay generic clear TPU case.
I wanna show off the space gray 5S!
I will splurge eventually and get a nice case, just wanted to get a cheapie for now. Case will be here Saturday.
Do you guys like/recommend TPU cases? The gel-like material. I usually have silicone or harder rubber cases, but I just had to get clear TPU.
