iPhone 5 case availability

Hey guys, I am planning on pre-ordering the iPhone 5 tonight and I'm wondering what the availability of cases and screen protectors will be on launch day? It seems like a pretty short turn around time for case developers, but I would hate for my new iPhone 5 to be without protection. Let me know what you think!

I was looking at Ballistic Case Co for a more durable case since I have a neuromuscular disorder that causes me to drop things in my hands a lot. I am not clear since I have heard good things about the InvisibleShield. If the case is a very durable case like some of the ones you see on Ballistic Case Co.com is the InvisibleShield something that you do not need or do you not need this if the case has a clear covering over the shield. This is what I am not clear on when trying to pick out a durable case with extra protection on the sides and one that my sis can take into her CEO meetings that has a good look to it but still has the extra protection like a lot of the cases on Ballistic Case Co.com. Also I have tried to find out if the case does not have a covering over the shield is it OK to apply the invisibleShield and then put the iPhone in the new case? Any suggestions?


I have sent the website several emails, but for some reason they keep telling me it is my call if I want the shield and the case.


Any specific recommendations on a case either from this Case Co. or another one that will hold up to drops from hand level to the floor (mostly carpeted floors) or another case that has help up for people who are considered clumsy with things in their hands or have a condition that causes them to drop/hit the phone?


Finally, if I order the invisibleShield can I get it put on at a place that sells this brand of shield covers like Best Buy or RadioShack? Although I do not think Radio shack is an approved place to get the invisible Shield installed.


TXS.

well it's totally depend's there are lot's of iPhone Case company's nowadays but you have to select the best one in order to protect your precious device from getting damage like some iPhone Cases are specifically made for Protecting your iPhone from Water Damage and some are made for protecting from water, damage, dust, scratches, Shock absorption and more so you have to be very picky what you are buying and from where you are buying.i hope this will help you.
