What case are you getting for your iPhone 5?

Griffin ones are out of stock in black :(

With the see through back?

Great case for shape/size and protection but you see dust gathering behind so needs cleaning about once a week.

Just treated my iPhone to a few hours out of the case, feels so much nicer!

I can cope with once a week I think, just have to wait for them to come into stock again

Got a CaseMate Barely There on mine. It's nice, good protection on the inner side too so it won't scratch the bezel etc. Had one on my 4S and highly recommend

Aren't people worried about when the case starts to get loose and the gap between the case and the metal increases meaning more dust and the likes will go between and mark the bezel the same way the bumpers did on the 4/4S?
 
I had a slip case for my 4/S. Can't remember which.

Looked pimp. Went to get it out the case. Dropped it. Lol.

It protects the phone when it's not doing anything. The time you're going to drop it is when it's in your hand and in use. So not in the case.

It's the same as buying a car cover and thinking it will save your NCB.

EXACTLY! A slip case defeats the object , because you'll drop it when it's naked in your hand and not in the case. I've done this myself with the 3gs - slip case......dropped it when i was getting it out of the case to use.

Buying a case for my more delicate and thin 5, only to make it as thick as my 4s, is the most depressing thought on earth. So depressing I haven't bought one yet.

Naked with 2 protectors for me, really hate cases. They also seem to end up dirty in no time.
 
I have the black one of these, see through back.

Offers protection and keeps feeling of the phones weight and thinness. Very happy.

I have this case too since the day i got the phone. Really good so far, not had it out since as it still has the original back sticky thing that came on the phone with the corner folded for the camera, waiting for a proper screen protector to turn up for the back.

Had my 4s since launch day and its battered, two cracks on the screen for the time i had no case on on the off chance! looks a mess now, even rolled without screen protectors on and didn't get any scratches on the front or back and i'm pretty brutal putting it in with coins and keys and it was fine. Can't bring myself to do that with my shiny new 5!
 
Current case.

Belkin Screen protector Adam?

Same case as me, that picture doesn't do it justice tbh, looks better in real life.
 
True, it does look loads better in person, i blame bad lighting and a dodgy 4s for the photo!

Yeah Belkin protector haha, Got both of them using vouchers from o2 priority moments with the £10 off for messing up the other month, Only cost me £5 for the case and three protectors.

Naked for me. Never had a case I just try to look after it. No change/keys in the pocket and no left to scrape and bang about on surfaces. Iphones in or out of cases WILL get scratched. If I had to use it in an environment where I needed one I would but I do not....

Some truly horrific cases on this thread. Ruining a fantastic piece of engineering with a few pounds worth of tat

The mobile telecoms equivalent of a bonnet bra? Nice.
 
Nekkid for moi. The best things about the phone are the bezel and back, I don't want them to be hidden.

Well as the Griffin one I wanted is out of stock in black i have ordered a simple black one from eBay, and also a tyre effect one to see if I like it....
Also got a 30pin Bluetooth adapter so I can stream my music to my dock :)

I just received my case from a seller on eBay. This one (Clear);

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WORLDS-TH...ouches&var=&hash=item3a7a54752a#ht_587wt_1117

Its 0.3mm, very similar to the Pinlo Slice I had on my 4 last year. Fits nice, precise cut outs, adding very little bulk to the phone.

For £2, it is a better case than the Pinlo Slice for me, well worth it for anyone wanting to protect the back, although don't expect it to save it from a hefty fall as its not made for that.

they look ok, only got red left!! going to see if there are any other on ebay.

currently been using mine now for 24hrs with no protection and its great, however i will not lay it on any surface other than the sofa, or have it in my pocket

Here's my Anker case that arrived today - £12.00 iirc.

Will do until I manage to get my hands on a Speck.
