BEST iPHONE 5 CASE

Has anyone been looking around getting a feel for the new cases that will be available for the iPhone 5? There has to be some excellent cases that will be available right?


I have seen a few and will post the pics once I get a chance. Show me what you have seen so far! 🙂

I bought a iPhone 5 book style casefrom www.lovegizmo.co.uk and it turned our pretty good for £12.99, its also got a camera hole which other similar cases priced at almost 3x this case have no camera holes.


So this is perfect as you dont have to take your phone out of the case to take photos, it also has slots for cards and a large compartment for some cash.

For the absolute thinnest case (ie only scratch protection), you really can't get any thinner than the Caudabe Veil. I got one off of Amazon and couldn't believe how thin it was. It's almost like those skins except you don't have to bother with all the adhesives. Pretty good quality.

I just posted on another similar thread, but I've been really happy with the Caudabe Veil as my daily driver. For the anti-Otterbox folks of the world, it's a pretty good case. Really, really thin (like thin to the point you can barely even tell a case is on it), but still provides scratch protection and, as I inadvertently discovered last week, decent drop protection too. My phone slipped out of my hands from about 3.5 feet and on to a tile floor. Case was damaged a little bit, but my phone was fine. Pretty impressed because I didn't actually think the case provided anything other than scratch potection.


Here's the link to the Veil on Amazon. It was the best price I could find online: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dmobile&field-keywords= %22caudabe%3A+the+veil%22&rh=n%3A2335752011%2Ck%3A%22caudabe%3A+the+veil%22

The Armor case is certainly nice, but it's only rated for 10ft drop protection. iGear's Slim Tough Case offers twice the protection at half the price. See article in San Francisco Chronicle below - make sure to watch the drop test video

User uploaded fileI like Ottoskins.com You can get a removable vinyl skin (like a sticker) for 15 bucks and get a clear case to go over it for protection. I like it because you can change the design when you want without forking out a lot of cash. They also have a design your own feature which is cool and at no added cost. Here's the link to iPhone 5 skins
