Most def a hot design but looks like its adds way to much bulk. Def looks like you can drop it and dont got to worry at all about denting the phone anywhere. Also looks expensive
Gah, you just had to post this. Now I ended up ordering this in addition to the others...
I'm curious - I see it comes with both an anti-static screen protector and back film protector. Is there a point to putting on the back protector in addition to the case? Doesn't the case cover the back anyway?
Just wondering if you're going to apply it... I don't think I'll use the screen protector. I can never seem to apply them well without getting bubbles, etc., and as long as the sides of that case have a slight rim to protect the screen if it falls on a flat surface, I don't see much point.
Love the design of that nude case though. Guess I have 3 cases now for my ip5 on the way lol... Photive Bumper, Belkin View Case (kinda wishing I got the Griffin one instead) and now this Nude one.
Going naked WITHOUT Applecare.
I know I keep harping about it but I will never understand why people spend their money on the rip off warranties.

Right now mine is wearing a red CaseCrown slider. I just got an email from them about the fit, which is insanely tight. So, I can either get my money back or another one. So, I'm pondering. I've never used my phone without a case. I feel like it would be slippery. Hmmm...
Otterbox Defender!
And I'm happy to say it is much better than my 4S Defender was. Thoroughly impressed all around.

Commuter?!
was leaning towards Commuter Otterbox...had it for iphone4...but, couple bad reviews on Amazon for it....want good protection but not as bulky as Defender..I liked that Commuter covers the ports...I also had Ghost Armor on my iphone 4 front and back..REALLY protected it well...
any suggestions for sleeker but still well protected options?

Waiting for Magpul to come out with their Field Case. Also want an Otterbox Defender in Glacier color combo. Then I'm set.
The commuter is awesome. Someone will always have something to complain about. I would highly recommend that case
Ya I really liked the Commuter...you have it on your 5 now?
does it add a lot of bulk?...wonder if I need Ghost Armor again...it was great on the front screen for sure...resisted fingerprints very well...did you just apply the screen protector that comes with the Commuter?

I'm not a case person either. I bought it because of how low profile it looks.
I do wonder if its cheap feeling plastic or not.
I bought one too. Haha. I won't use it all the time. Probably just for evenings out or days spent tailgating. Higher risk of me being careless!
+1 to this. I used the Magpul case on my 4 for a few months and absolutely loved it. It also compliments my MOE AR.
Got the Nude
I´ve got the Nude, and the back protector just covers the aluminum part of the iPhone, not the both glass parts, dunno why. But it looks very sexy, i am just afraid that the case can scratch the edges of the iPhone, since there are so many reports that the coating on the edges and the sides are not durable and are easily scratchable. But on the other hand, plastic, in particular polycarbonat does not scratch aluminum or the coating, am i right? Aluminum can only be scratched by harder material, right?

I'm holding out for the Kensington clear gel case. Had one on the 4 and was great.

Sena Ultraslim case (www.senacases.com). Adds zero bulk, protects form scratches, and because it is a slip case, allows me to use my phone naked. I had one for my iPhone 4, and it's great if you like to use your phone naked, but want some protection for when you put it in you pocket or purse.

I got this one as well from BB, but the grey version to go along with my white iPhone.
So the Nude case covers the entirety of the back and also covers the sides?
Does it feel like quality material?
Does it feel tight or can you move the phone around in the case?
What do you think of the case overall?
