I absolutely really like my iPhone 5 (especially after having my 3gs for 3 years), but I must say some of You buy phone cases like clothes for Your phone. I guess if I had the money I would do the same. (at least one more case to switch out every blue moon)
The x-Doria is basically just a plastic snap-on case with a thin, decorative layer of bamboo on the back. Not as cool as the Grove cases which are actually carved out of a chunk of bamboo! Still, I prefer the x-Doria because it doesn't really add much bulk, and was under $30.

You can buy some nice TPU ones off ebay. I actually like the one I currently have on better than my Speck and it is just a cheap TPU one but it feels awesome and has the lip that goes above the screen like my Speck does.
OtterBox Defender - Glacier
Wasn't sure I would like, but I am very happy not having to baby my phone anymore.
I will probably buy the iFrogz Ultra Lean case as well. I loved it on my 4S. I like to change things up a lot, but I know each time I take off the otterbox case the rubber outside wrap is going to get looser.

Bought a lifeproof case for mine. Sure, it was 80 bucks. But damn it it's worth every penny. It's sleek and formfitting, while being waterproof and durable. I've used it in the hot tub before, dropped it from six feet onto tile floors and the like, and the case has been there through it all. The only downside is that the headphone adapter can be a pain if you use it a lot. But hell, it's waterproof
Vaja top. They have always been my favorite iPhone cases since the first generation phone. I love the fact that the most popular styles are now shipped from the US and at your door in about three days. When I ordered the case for my first iPhone, I had to wait 45 days to receive it. When my iPhone 4 broke and I had to pull my old first gen iphone out of storage, the AT&T rep gushed at the condition of my phone. I told him it was because of the Vaja cases (I had three) that protected it. Plus they smelled great and looked divine. I prefer the top to the agenda, just because I have the motion down on opening the flap since the agenda style came later. I thought about getting a grip style, but remembered what happened to the screen of my iPhone 4 when I went without a front cover.
Just picked up a Speck Pixelskin HD. Probably the best thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) case out there in terms of fit and finish. Buttons are easy to press too, which is usually the #1 complaint with TPU style cases.
