Fabshell. Have a candyshell. Love the fabric style. The original Fitted case that preceded the Fabshell is still one of my favorites of all time.

I hear the lock button was hard to press with that case. What are your thoughts?

I am now using the Belkin Grip Candy in black. Got it at Target. I really like its slim profile and nondescript looks.

Belkin are my case of choice also. Especially the view case.

Fabcase? I don't have mine yet. Forgot there was no mail today.

Waiting for Bookbook and the Taktik case to come out. Might get them both as i can't make up my mind on which one to choose.

This case is excellent for anyone wondering. I ordered the black one and the back is clear. The plastic back has some scuffs but nothing deal breaking. Also, the sleep button seems a little bit hard to press. But overall I love this case. Much better than the griffin reveal

UPDATE: This case is great, makes the phone feel really thin still. There are two problems though: 1) lint collects around the edges of the screen when you take the phone out of your pocket. 2) lock button is difficult to press.

Was just looking at that one, actually. Want a nice clear case but one that isn't hard plastic.

Got my case today, and yes the button is hard to press. The problem is that the inside of the case's button is not long enough to actuate the button without requiring too much effort. Could easily be remedied by a piece of electrical tape or something similar.

If I have to do that to use a case comfortably, it's not for me. I was going to buy one but glad I read the reviews first. That was the only reason I didn't buy it.

First I ordered the SwitchEasy Tones in black and then a couple of days later I ordered the Belkin Grip Candy Sheer case in black as well. I'll likely gift one of them to a friend who is yet to order his iPhone 5.

Though I may leather sleeve/pouch it in the end, that's what I always had for my BlackBerry, I liked it and the phone was always well protected.
