do you have an iphone 5 that needs protecting?

Why can't you just wait till it comes out?

It isn't confirmed yet, you wouldn't want to waste any money.

So we can have it protected the minute it comes to our house, without waiting for a case to come in the mail and risk a week or two of damaging the phone.

Waste of money? I'll bite the bullet on possibly losing 2 dollars for a TPU case from Hong Kong that might not fit.

you realise you wont have your phone on the 12th? there will be load of cases available for purchase after the 12th that are definitely going to fit, don't see what the big rush is about.
 
Yes I do realize that. I also realize it takes sometimes 2 weeks to get a cheap case from Hong Kong... Just planning ahead.

If I was planning on spending 30 bucks on a case (which I've never done in my life), then I would totally agree with you and wait til then with no rush.

All I've ever known is Best Skins Ever, they started taking pre-orders yesterday and from the looks of it cost less WITH International Shipping than Zagg does without...

Most of companies started selling the covers already! Pretty much all of cell phone accessory companies. Just type in iphone 5 case on google lol

For me, i'm considering getting Incase Slider, and i've already received SGP Crumena pouch. For now, i'm not confident if both cases fit on iphone 5. But, I ordered the pouch because i know the case doesn't have to be perfect sized to fit on the phone.

Here is the product links if you are interested

I ordered sgp crumena from amazon only because it's free shipping. In case you are interested in: http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Pr...sr_1_1?s=mobile&ie=UTF8&qid=1347495706&sr=1-1

Nordstrom taking pre-orders

My wife just got an email from Nordstrom (higher end department store in the US) about pre-ordering a case for the iPhone 5. Other retailers can't be far behind. Don't know if they have any, but they were Nordy on the Spot.
