I picked up an Incipio Frequency for mine and a Speck Candyshell for the phone I bought for my mother. The AT&T store had a decent assortment of cases and colors and matched my online Premier discount.
Got a free otterbox defender when I bought mine at the AT&T store. Not sure I am going to use it though.
How is the rubber in comparison to the old Candyshell for the 4/4S? I purchased one today in anticipation of me getting my phone and it seems they REALLY improved the rubber's durability. I couldn't get it to flake / eraser effect at all, but I just want to make sure that it wasn't only me.

Pics of 42 iPhone 5 cases either out now or by October. Many on the list were already mentioned here but I thought it'd be helpful

Nekkid and Spigen White pull tab leather pouch because when I go to work my pockets are not very deep and the phone would probably fly out. (bloody expensive case)
Used a leather "Suncase" pull tab for my white 4S from germany that was pretty damn thin, slick and light but they have no stock until 25th September - 1st october. (amazon - in case anyone is interested)
This looks great. Can't decide whether or not to buy the UltraClear or the UltraBlack, the pics only show the white iPhone with the UltraClear and the Black iPhone with the UltraBlack. Bah :S
I picked up the otterbox defender in black. I was gonna do white but someone told me it shows dirt after some use.
I have the Moshi clear one, same as the above. It also comes with a front and back screen protectors, because the case can scratch the surface, hence why I never used the Moshi one, as it does indeed scratch my 4s!
Winning with an Otterbox defender
Otter box- making slim sexy phones fat and ugly for 4 years and counting.
Could you post a pic of your ip5 with the clear tpu case on, especially the back part. Only if not a problem. I'm thinking of getting this tomorrow at some point. I have the otterbox defender and its just way too bulky. Almost forget theres a thin, light ip5 under there and I feel like I'm missing out on its good looks lol.
Last time I had a candyshell was for my 3GS. The inner rubber lining feels the same as my old one as far as I can tell.
I picked up a Belkin Grip Candy Sheer..it's blue with white sides and blue buttons. Looks pretty good with the white iPhone.
As soon as the Elago Glider is available for the iP5, I'm definitely getting it. The perfect case, in my opinion.
I never use a case but I actually might get one of those. I'm leaning towards the wallet slim, I'm just undecided if its douchey or not to carry your iPhone in a leather case alongside your ID, credit card, and cash. Less to lose but if you lose it your really ****ed but I guess you could track it. I also feel like I'd stick it in my back pocket by force of habit and break it by force of ass sit.
I want to keep mine naked, but I'm considering getting a Slight 5 from desmay when it's released. I don't understand why people get otterbox defenders, but whatever floats your boat I guess (unless you work in construction / military / bounty hunter)
Bought a Speck Candyshell. First time. I rather like it. It's lightweight and not bulky.
I may switch to an Otterbox Commuter later. Defender is too bulky for my liking.
Oh, no screen protector. Been going naked since the 4s. Screen is so pretty! Easier to clean.
All this talk about scratches... What? The only phones I ever had that got scratched from their cases were the original iPhone and the 3G/3GS.
No slider cases. No silicone only cases. No constantly removing cases. That'll keep off the scratches.
If I had the need to constantly remove the case, I'd just slap a zagg on the back and go naked(ish).

Do not get the Griffin Reveal case http://store.griffintechnology.com/iphone/iphone-5/reveal-for-iphone-5
It is a clear back case with a white bumper. The clear back scratches and scuffs very easily. My phone looks horrible now because it make the back of it look all scratched up.

Griffin reveal Black from Best Buy. I walked in on the 20th while they were setting up the display and they let me buy it then. $30 seems a little steep though. My Black iPhone 5 went right out of the box and into the case (and it was flawless BTW, no chips or scuffs for me). The only thing I can say about the case that I'm not sure about is that it seems like the opening for the camera/3rd mic/flash is oversized, as if they weren't 100% sure about the positioning of the three items and made it bigger just in case. Not sure if there is a better explanation... Anybody?
