I'm looking at the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer. It seems like people really like the case, but one of the reviews on Amazon said that the lightning to 30 pin adaptor didn't fit. Has anyone else tried this case?

I ordered that Navor wallet card. For $15+ with discount shipped - great value and it looks good plus the previous version received positive reviews.

I have the Colcasac now plus also waiting on PCaro flip, Fortte wallet book case ...
Ok so I got the case today and it looks like the top and bottom are not protected at all. For $4 you cant beat the price. I might end up getting full body protection when using this thin case.
I'm waiting for Graft Concept to sell their iPhone 5 cases. The best case I've had on my 4S. It's really nice and well built as you can see from the pics down below...
I have a trident case on mine

Greetings folks! This is my first post so....
I have used several cases for the iPhone 5. First what I think is referred to as a Gel case. It was a smokey brown thing that is popular with several people I know. It was a perfectly good case that until I started to put the phone in my pants pocket was fine. The hot summer weather puts me into t-shirts a lot so I lost my shirt pocket I used all winter. I found pocket lint accumulating in the speakers and charge port not to mention the glass face exposed to pressures from physical work. These things gave me concerns.
I tried the Otter box Commuter. This was a very good case that I found huge in my pocket and very heavy.
Went to the Otter Box Defender. This gave me the defence and put the unit on my belt. I liked the position and comfort. Being on my belt I hardly noticed it's weight. Thought this was going to be it! No not yet. Found that in my car if I wore it on the right it interfered with the seatbelt buckle, on my left it caught on the door pillar on the way in and out of the car. The last time I used it the impact was sufficient to launch the entire unit onto the pavement near another car. What would have happened in rain with puddles? What if a car was pulling in or out next to me?
I looked for a smaller belt clip case but apparently these are not as popular anymore and I have had a lot of trouble finding the iPhone 5 version. I was especially disappointed when my nearest Apple store did not stock such a thing.
My son recently bought the new Blackberry Z10. He had the Blackberry leather swivel holster case for it. I tried my iPhone 5 WITH the gel case installed and it fit like a glove. Several stores in my area stock this case and sale prices are easy to find. I now have my phone protected from dropping in use with the gel case and the comfort of wearing the phone on my belt in the leather case. The whole unit is small enough that the car door pillar does not interfere. So far I am really liking this arrangement. The only drawback is that I wear a case that says Blackberry and use an IPhone 5..... I guess I can live with that.
Why does Apple not have such a thing?
