after returning the Griffin Reveal, i have really been torn between the Speck Fabshell and the Switcheasy Tones. i have been happy with Switcheasy products in the past, but ended up with a Speck Fitted on my iPhone 4 thanks to the Apple case program. i was really happy with the fitted for solid protection and it was very comfortable to use. i definitely grew to like the fabric back and after almost two years, i didn't have any problems with it pealing.
my local Target has the Fabshell (no Fitted for ip5) but I went to two different stores over the past two weeks and they just don't carry the black & white version, which is the only color i would get. they have every other one though. the Fabshell does feel good and looks like it is well built.
but, i finally ended up ordering the Switcheasy Tones yesterday. Switcheasy has a two year warranty (as opposed to Speck's one year) and it comes with more stuff (port covers, microfiber, screen protectors) and it is a tiny bit cheaper.
i'm sure i would have been happy with either though, unless something is really off with the Switcheasy that i haven't been able to see in the photos/reviews that are out now.
i am still on a search for a decent bumper since i liked to use that on days when i didn't need the full case protection with my iPhone 4, but i haven't really seen anything that looks right yet.

Link on number 3 isn't working. Not a problem though as I won't ever deal with Mobile Fun again !!

I was in Toronto today and looked at this case. I think it's an excellent choice. Looks best with the white iPhone 5. Mine is black so it's too frosted for me. If only the back was clear ....
Sorry. I'll try again. It's the Trident Aegis case in black. Got it today and very impressed.

I'm using Cygnett Workmate and SPG Glas.t Premium Tempered Glass Series
These stuff are really awesome

This is one of several cases I stumbled upon while browsing eBay. The first comment I always get is, "is it Batman?" I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it fits like a glove and feels nice in hand. ($4.79 on eBay)
The pictures could have been a lot better, but I rushed.

I chose to go with Incipio DualPro Shine with brush metal look. I've heard mixed reviews on this one but need something soon. I've got some nicks on the top and a faint scratch on the back by the lens. I really like my phone naked but can't afford to anymore scuffs. I do have my eye on the Otterbox Reflex case when it's available.
The seller I bought it from is (everydaysource). I searched quick and found it, but for twice what I paid for it.

Ifrogz slider type coupled with a Zagg Invisi Shield HD case friendly. I've got an OtterBox Commuter on the way but haven't decided if I'm keeping that one yet.
I had the iFrogz on my 3GS. My Mom has that phone and still uses it. The 3GS didn't have the screen protector issues. Her and I are both getting the 5 and I wonder if there will be screen protector issues. I use Power Support SP's and I had an issue with my 4 and the iFrogz case causing lift, so I had to use another case. I'd just assume use a case that works with the Power Support SP, then have to use a different SP.
Are there other slider case friendly SP's out there besides the Zagg?
I was looking at the Zagg SP, but I am not a fan of how it's installed with liquid and the fact that it is a bit soft/thick. Being a girl, I do have nails and I would likely dent it. Plus the orange peel affect, although less then in the past, it's still there. I saw it on a youtube video and it did look a little wrinkly.
Got this in today! Sooo cute! Love the way it looks and how the camera looks like its eyes. Two issues I'm having, the fit is not tight at all so easy to slip out. Second, it's a dust magnet. Dunno what to do. Might return it but.. just so damn cute!

SPG glas has been awesome for me!
SPG glas has been awesome for me! still trying to decide which hard case to get. the phone is so lightweight without one it will be hard to find one light and sturdy enough

I am guessing it's a typo. They most likely wanted it to have a price of $3.99. The price was originally $9.99 when I posted the link.
I ordered the Snugg faux "leather" sleeve or pouch and so far it is holding up pretty good. I read a previous negative comment on this sleeve but for me the phone fits in nice and snugg however the pull strap works really well to assist in inching the phone out enough to grab and pull out. For the meantime its working out until I decide on a LifeProof case or not. So many options that its hard to pick one, lol.
