I really like the design and sturdiness of the Otterbox case. It gives me a good sense of protection for my iPhone 5. Installation is very easy and straight forward, it comes in two pieces that snap together around the device. It makes the phone look thicker, but the trade off is the best protection you can get!

Bobsleed,
I totally agree with the Otterbox route. I have had one on my phone and there is simply no better protection!
However, today I recieved an Agent 18 Slim case for my iphone 5. It's slim, sleek and feels amazing in my hand. I would describle it as somewhere between a rubber texture and velvet. It adds next to nothing to my phone, so now I have a case for both extremes!
