Help me chose a 5s case

[rosenstar]

I'm looking for a case/bumper to protect my phone. I plan on putting on the ZAGG invisible shield to prevent the screen from shattering/scratching. I love the sleakness of the 5s, so I'd like to get to find a balance between protecting the phone and avoiding a bulky case. Right now I'm leaning towards a 'bumper' style case that leaves the back of the phone exposed, but covers the buttons and sides of the phone. Any general thoughts or specific suggestions as to what cases/bumpers I should consider?

I suggest you start at the iMore Store. They have a good selection to choose from.

Nothing really caught my eye. They didn't have many bumper cases, which is what I was hoping for. Anyone else?

Check out the cases made by Spigen like the Neo Hybird.

Best Buy has a few bumper style cases, some come in 3-packs. There are also cases such as the Griffin Reveal that have a bumper but also cover the back with a clear plastic
These are pictures from the Griffin site

I suggest the Spigen line up of cases. Their Ultra Hybrid bumper case comes in a variety of colors including a nice Crystal Clear bumper

How's the durability? If it drops 3 ft, do I have to worry about buttons breaking?

Not at all, it's durable. Spigen makes very good quality cases

Anything could break depending how and where and what it falls on.
A direct hit vs a glancing hit.

I'd recommend taking a look at the Tech21 Impact Band ( http://www.tech21.com/impact-band-iphone-5s-case-clear )

Agreed highly recommend the tough armor or the neo hybrid!

My current set up is the Zagg Invisible Shield HD and the Incipio Feather Shine Navy blue. Looks pretty sleek. (On my 5, not 5S)
