Same here always switching between the speck flip, zoogue and belkin clearview. Kinda frustrating lol

I think that I'm going to stick with the Agent 18. I love the Griffin Survivor case but it is difficult going in and out of my pants pocket. The sound on calls is muffled. And it can be tedious going in and out of the port covers. The Agent 18 slim shield doesn't offer the protection of the Survivor, but it fits well, looks good, and I have access to all of the ports and camera all the time.

Who makes that case? I'm always in the market for a low profile case. Can you post some pics? Tjanks

I own 7 cases. I'm in a search for the perfect case. Now I'm targeting the Itskins Sesto Elemento Carbon Case :)

I have an Otterbox defender (blue & orange), a lunatik (white & yellow) and a cheap little chrome case that looks awesome but provides very little protection.
On my mini I have a Tucano luxury case. Very pretty deep burgundy/brown color.
Now isn't my post interesting? Lol

I had my iPhone 5 Ghost Armored, but having used the LifeProof case during outdoor activities, the armor is starting to peel, and I don't feel like spending more money to have it replaced. Thus, I have been hunting for a clear (naked) case and picked up the Case-Mate Naked Tough. While it's a decent case, it's a little too glossy for my standards. I'm considering returning it and looking for something less glossy and with more of a matte finish. That said, if you want a thin case with a nice profile and don't mind the gloss factor, give this one a shot.

Speaking of which, anyone have a clear, non-glossy case?

I think that I go through so many cases because I try to find the perfect one for me. I usually can find a fatal flaw in any case and then the search continues. I used to buy silicone cases but they would stretch and become greasy with use. Then I went with the two piece hard cases and they would pop off if I dropped my phone and the phone would go flying. Then I got into the TPU cases. I stayed with these for a while because the were durable. But then I started getting into heavy duty, military grade, cases like Otterbox and the Griffin Survivor. But hose cases caused more issues than they fixed. Cases were too bulky and it limited access to ports and switches. Plus the call quality suffered. Now I'm on to slim cases. So far these have met my needs the best. I have been able to sacrifice very little in the aesthetics department. I have access to all ports, switches, and camera. Plus I have a modicum of protection on the back and sides. The cases are easy to put on and take off. Lastly, the slim cases are relatively cheap as well. Currently, I'm rocking the Elago slim S5 in soft gray with the white iPhone 5. This is a sweet looking combination.

Just got the BookBook case yesterday. Ever since I got the iPhone 5, I've only been using wallet cases. I don't have to bring my purse everywhere anymore.

I had the Speck grip with my iPhone 4S. I liked it, it fit really well. I wonder how accommodating the hole for the headphone jack is for the iPhone 5. I had the Speck candyshell and it wasn't great for all kinds of jacks. It is one of the reasons why I went for the slim cases.

The candyshell flip is decent but a bit too bulky. The grip is less bulky and the headphone jack is fine. Haven't had any issues. It's my favorite case so far.

iPhone 4 and one case. A black lifeproof. Love it so far. I am thinking of a griffin survivor cause I don't always need the waterproof capabilities, I tend to always talk myself out of it though cause no one ever plans on dropping their phone in the toilet lol. Still may get one because they are getting harder to come by at Walmart and they aren't that much cheaper on amazon. Plus with amazon there are people who are complaining on there about receiving counterfeits. I'm still not completely sold on the drop toughness of the lifeproof my friend has already broken one of them by dropping his for the iPhone 4. We'll see and I will get a survivor while I wait for a replacement lol.
