Are you mad?

Why not just put it in a safe?

Safes are made of metal and that is the last thing you want in contact with your phone. You need a even more protective case if you are going put it in a safe.

And then, there is a question of practicality. How are you suppose to sit down with a safe in your back pocket?
 
It has a very slight lip on the front (if that's what you're referring to), and I don't think they can make it any thinner than that without compromising durability IMHO.

But as you can see in the pics, it's not that noticeable. It also helps prevent scratches to the front in case you put the phone face down by mistake.

It seems like what I am looking for until the 12 south case comes out. I cannot find Telus in the U.S.
 
I currently have 2 cases and 2 on order. The 2 I have at the moment are

1) http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/pho...IPHONE5-REVEAL - I really like this but I use this now for day to day

2) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/iPHONE-5-B...2#ht_500wt_689 and the colour I have is blue edge black sides. Looks amazing on black iPhone.

The 2 I ordered today are

3) http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/trident-a...ack-p36400.htm and

4) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gear-iPhone-.../dp/B008BX5DSM

Can't wait to get these. I also like the black belkin in the 2 pack. The clearer one looks dire on my black iPhone 5. The black finish looks brilliant. Just costs too much http://www.amazon.co.uk/Belkin-Sili...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349212537&sr=1-4


Also thinking about this lovely book case.

Case-Mate "Naked" for me. Crystal clear, lets the phone show, easy to take off/put on, and great cut outs on top, on the bottom and for the buttons/camera.

It really doesn't get in the way at all and it doesn't add much weight or bulk.

Could you post some pics?
 
Just got my Poetic bumper off of amazon for 9 bucks and let me tell you this thing is awesome!
 
I hate finding a case i like, then finding that it doesnt protect the top or bottom front edges! What gives?

Anyways, im glued on the Speck Burton Fab Shell. The cloth feel is really enticing to me..

After much thought, viewing endless videos, and reading pages upon pages of forum threads I decided on the Incipio Dual Pro, with a Ghost Armor screen protector, all will be in the mail shortly, just picked up my black 64gb iPhone 5 yesterday and rocking the rocketfish soft case for the time being, then i'll return it once the Dual Pro comes.
