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 currently have this case on my white iPhone 5, and I love it!! its really elegant, slim, and looks expensive, but it was really cheap! (its from luxe-case.com)
Heres the link to the same case: http://www.luxe-case.com/iphone-5-case/cultivated-charmer-white-leather-iphone-5 -case-in-gold

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!
I got the ReflexSeries Case! I don't have to worry about dropping my phone any more.....it's the perfect case! Thanks for the tip!
ive always liked the otter box cases, i have the otterbox commuter on my iphone 5, as i put it on the plastic outer shell above the charging port cracked into, im waiting to see what they will do about it, hopefully they will replace it as its the first time ive had an issue with one of their products
Here's another vote for the Caudabe Veil. Just an incredibly thin case. Love it because I hate burying my phone in a thick case. I'm generally pretty good with protecting my iPhones, so a nice clear super thin case is exactly what I want. So far, the Veil has held up really well, which is surprising given how thin it is.

Otterbox is the best. If you're looking for a case that will protect your phone from daily wear and tear. Their Armor series is the best.
Check this out:
I couldn't agree more. This Otterbox is the most protective case I've ever owned! Love love love!!!

Alot of the people working in my office are using battery cases from 4XEM in (http://www.4xem.com/4xem-external-backup-iphone-5-battery-case-cover-white/)(http://www.4xem.com/4xem-external-backup-iphone-5-battery-case-cover-black/). The cases' built in battery greatly increases the run time of the phone, specially when you use it all day. Personally I like the cases from UNCOMMON (http://www.getuncommon.com/ because you can customize them by putting your own picture on them or choose from thousands of designs from independant artists all over the world like on http://www.redbubble.com.
I guess I will add my 2 cents to the discussion. I wanted a minimal case for my i5. I used the bumper with the i4 and liked the size and weight. Recenly, I purchased a Moshi iGlaze case. It seems to fufill my needs - some protection with minimal size and weight. It almost looks like a bare-back phone, and it has a whole on the back to show the Apple logo. It fits nicely in my pocket.
Whether it meets the drop-on-a-hard-surface test is yet to be determined.

When it comes to rugged cases most people talk about the Otterbox or Lifeproof cases but there is a cheaper option out there that offers the same, if not better, level of protection. It's called the Ballistic iPhone 5 case.
I don't own one but the reviews are quite good and they come in a bunch of colors.

I couldn't agree more! The otterbox and lifeproof cases are completely overpriced and over rated. The Ballistic Hard Case offers better protection and a cheaper price and adds a kickstand.
The Best iPhone 5 Case is the Cleave Aluminum Bumper case. There is a reason Apple uses aluminum on so many of its products. It's because it's light and yet extremely strong. This case combines strength and style for the best iPhone 5 protection out there!
Two cases that I would suggest for those of you that are serious about protecting your tech, the Griffin Survivor and the Otterbox Defender, they can both withstand a lot of impact and are even rain proof to some extent. I personally own a Griffin Survivor and the external has taken quite a beating because I like to longboard...a lot.... I just checked out this article on keeping your Iphone in brand new condition and it has quite a bit of info, i'd say its worth a glance if your in the market for a new case, who knows, it may give you some good perspective.
Double post.
Since a post like this cannot generate anything but personal opinions and experiences, I'll share mine:
Otterbox - pricier, yes, but you can warranty the case infinitely if there's ever ANY issues with it. Otterbox is very good about their warranties.
I've heard mixed reviews on the Lifeproof cases, but one in particular I've heard a lot was that unscrewing the plug cover enough times strips it...and also that the screen cover bubbles way too easy (AGAIN - I've heard).
And again, opinion.
BEST iPHONE 5 CASE
