I really like that Luminium that was up for pre-order on FAB.com but now its gone? I love that it basically looks the same as the back of the iphone and has exposed volume buttons.
 
I picked up a clear tpu case from best buy on launch day for 20 bucks. I didn't even want a case but I'd prefer this thing stays pristine so I get more for it at upgrade time in April of 2014.
 
I've just taken delivery of a Cygnett UrbanShield Genuine carbon fibre case and it's very nice indeed. It is very slim and the back is real carbon fibre with smooth soft touch sides. It has a raised lip that protects the screen when placed face down on a flat surface and adds no perceivable weight to the phone.

The inside of the case is smooth and does not appear to scratch the phone when removed and reinserted. As I don't plan on constantly removing it, this is purely academic for me. It is quite similar to the Incipio Feather which I had on my iPhone 4 with the exception of the carbon fibre back.
 
Replaced my Incase slider with a Speck candy shell yesterday. The candyshell is much better IMO. Great case.
 
Those are cute! For a pouch inside my purse/briefcase, I use a small gadget bag from Borsa Bella. The are very nice and it's a great company to work with (no affiliation).

Thanks for this. I was getting overwhelmed by Etsy and their offerings but I decided to order one of these as well. It seems like something useful for throwing in my bag, carrying around on my wrist or even on a belt loop.
 
Yeah...except significantly different because of the opens strips on the front, which is why I asked :D

Anyway I found it.

Is that a suction cup?

Really like that case . . would prefer just a lip that goes around the bottom too--instead of a suction cup?

Yeah the suction cup thing is pretty weird. I like the open strips for answering calls though.


I believe that case is very exposed to scratches. Not a good case if you ask me.
Not a prob if you've got a screen protector on. Probably not a huge problem without it either.

Was thinking about getting an otterbox defender as I work in construction but what put me off was the opening for the front camera and the bottom speaker is open as well. I used to take my iPhone 4 to work with me and the amount of dust which got in the speakers and other parts of the phone was terrible so was really wanting a tough case which covered all ports/openings etc. just going to keep the iPhone at home while I'm at work for now and take a cheap phone in.

Do you like the case? Is it scratching the phone? Any visible scratches if you take it out and look? Iam thinking of buying this.

I haven't ordered the case or received my iPhone 5 yet but looking at the reviews on Amazon they say that the inside of it is very soft material so I can't imagine it scratching the phone.
 
Speaking of Switcheasy tho!

I got this one, it is a Speck / Burton FabShell that i got from Best Buy. I was hoping Apple would have released a Product (Red) bumper like they had for the iPhone 4/4S. So far I am really liking this case and it has gotten a lot of compliments from co-workers and friends.

Didn't wade through the 11 pages on this thread but I just bought an iFrogz "ultra-lean" from best buy (couldn't help it when I was picking up the avengers). Its very thin, and a very good fit. Don't think any dust will easily get in-between for those with the black one, like myself.

So far, so good.
