What case I bought for my iPhone?
Contrary to my last post, I bought the otterbox defender. The loss of the bottom lip made the difference. I wonder why it's as thick as the 4 case although the 5/5S is thinner?
I think otterbox makes what they can as fast as possible and goes with it.

Just got my Silver 5s.
Wednesday 1.30pm I ordered lighting cables, screen protector and a clear skin, with Monoprice for my new phone. 24hours later I had it in my hand
The screen protector was super easy to install and the case/skin is almost not noticable.

Can't go wrong with a frost Caudabe Veil for your silver iPhone 5s. Beautiful, sleek combo. I had previously considered the Apple leather case, but for $40 it just didn't seem worth it and was probably thicker than I wanted. The Caudabe is a much better bang for the buck, albeit it's an ultra thin and not a leather case.

This is what I am using...As close as you can get to no case at all...

I honestly can't say. I've used it with a Power Support Anti-Glare with no issue. Not sure how the thickness compares.
I bought the leather 5S case (black).
Using it on my 5 currently while waiting for my 5S to arrive. I like it because it covers the entire edge of the phone (wish I had one of those cases for the 5 to help prevent the scratches). Plus, it really does feel quite soft to the touch.
Downside I have experienced is that it is slightly harder to notice it vibrate (and hear the buzz noise) when placed on a surface. Small quip, though.

Good looks! Why didn't you go with the white if you don't mind me asking
Not answering for fraktur, but I've found that the white iPhone looks great with a high contrast case. The (black screen/white bezel) contrast emphasized with a black or dark colored case works better for me then extending the white which is washed out for me. This is of course just my opinion as all aesthetic judgments are. If the case has rails like the Sector 5 or the Sector Solace, the top and bottom can be silver or white the side rails could be gun metal or black. This has the effect of making the phone appear wider and not so long and thin.
Yup. I've got the Caudabe Veil too. Had it for my 5 and now for my 5s. Very happy with it. I have a handful of other cases, too. That black Apple leather case is definitely calling out to me. But, for $40 and not as thin as the Veil? No thanks.
