White iPhone 5 - what case(s) are you using?

Go for the Glas tR! So much better.

Yeah, it's a toss up between the Glas.TR or the Bodyguardz Pure. The reason I haven't choose one yet is that I'm also considering the replacement policies of each. Spigen's is $18 for a replacement within the first 30 days while Bodyguardz, it's $13 for life...

This sounds more than obvious.

That's exactly why I ordered the Bodyguardz Pure yesterday during the sale for only $23 which is going to replace my Spigen Crystal Clear screen shield. The sale price (which is still available 40% off today is the last day), the replacement policy,and the fact that it is slightly thinner made me go with the Pure as opposed to the Glas.tr.
 
Agree....looks great! As soon as the wife gets home with camera I'll post some shots of my setup in the commuter. (Nothing special)

Do you happen to have a Belkin Grip Candy Sheer? I would love to see a picture of that with the glass screen shield on the iPhone 5!

You are actually the first one to post pictures of the white one. No one did in the Air Jacket thread itself :) Thanks so much. Would love it but the price is just so steep.. I could get 40 of the very nice $1 case I'm currently using :(
 
I bought the Incipio Kicksnap in white only because it was cheap on Amazon. I actually really like it. I thought it would be much thicker than it is. I'm very happy with it.

Well if it makes you feel any better, I noticed today a faint discoloring at the bottom corners so as nice as this case looks to begin with, long term it won't stay clean and white. So you're better off with your non-yellowing cases.
 
I rotate between different cases. I recently installed a SGP Glas.t and I have fallen in love with it. I nailed it the very first time I applied it, no dust and perfect alignment. Surprisingly I had more problems trying to install the home button that was included. I'm using a BestSkinsEver rear which I love and a random clear accented bumper from eBay. I also rotate between the Poetic Atmosphere which I love.

Super clean looking, almost makes me wish I went for a white iPhone.

I love the white iPhone but it's been so difficult trying to find a white case that doesn't discolor and look dirty quickly. That's why I started this thread to see if others had some options I didn't know about. At this point it's going to be a toss up between the Spigen ultra slim white, Spigen ultra thin soft clear and the Elago slim.

I'm also currently rockin' a Spigen Ultra Thin Air case but the white one! The clear one showed so many specks but the pure white just screams elegance on the white iPhone 5. Though now I'm figuring out if i want a plastic film cover for a glass one for the front screen.

Go for the glass protector especially with the discounts. I've tried both and prefer the Bodyguardz Pure.

I use a CaseCrown case on mine. I have two, a white and a blue one. It is sometimes fun to mix-and-match them. They're low profile, and they give the phone pretty much a similar weight to the iPhone 4S, which made the transition to the 5 much easier.

I had a Case Crown Glider as my number one case for my 4S and totally loved it. However this time around for the 5, they changed the front to come up over the screen instead of catching on the chamfer so it won't work with my screen protector.

What is this Glas tR? If you drop your phone it takes the hit and breaks so your screen doesn't? I'm confused.

Depends on the fall. Normally - the screenprotector takes all the damage and breaks before your screen does - thats why you purchase it. But as I said, it depends on the fall. If its a 20 feet fall then your screen breaks aswell (iam pretty sure)
 
Noot Bumper, $4.50 from Amazon

I'm just trying to see what's so different between the Glas tR and like invisibleSHIELD

Difference is glass.tR will protect the screen much more. Glass is harder than plastic.

Is that a fair answer?
