Suggestions needed for Slim case

km12345 · Oct 10, 2013

I am looking for a slim case that has decent bumper and clear anti scratch resistant back. If the button or side can stay metal look, that would be a bonus!

I am concern about the need for a black outline and a large enough camera opening.

Currently I am looking at the

Griffin Clear Back case (comes with a black, white, or pink bumper with a clear back). I have one I'd send you for cheap.

These are not really slim like what I was thinking.

Look at tech21 bumper with clear back insert. I find the phone easier to hold.

I don't know how slim you are wanting but I have always been a fan of the case-mate "barely there" cases. I am using the clear one on mine.

I am looking for moderate drop protection, decent lip for front protection, and durable case. Hopefully around $20 or less as well as clear back that is moderately scratch resistant to everyday use.

Slim as in not bulky like otter defender or lifeproof.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

This is what I've been rocking. It sort of has a grippy feel to the plastic and is very slim.

I am leaning towards this one

Caseology Premium Hybrid Fusion Apple iPhone 5 / 5S Case with DIY Clear Back and Shock Absorbent Protective Bumper (Beige / Gold)

What do you think of that color with gold? Or white or black better?

Does anyone use or got a caseology case? What do you think? Drop? Does it scratch ur phone? Good fit?

I can't say from experience, but I hear that new leather case from apple is nice and thin.

I have the ringke fusion. Love it. It looks like there is no case on it. Fits like a glove.

I am on my third slim case for the iPhone 5S and the Rockfish clear soft case is my favorite. I love the grip of it and it covers up none of the great color and design of this phone.

My second favorite is the leather case from Apple. That feels and looks incredible, but I do not wish to cover up my phone at this time.

Can you link this case? Thanks

I thin iLuv or iLuvIt makes a clear scratch resistant iPhone 5 case. I saw this a few weeks ago and it looked great! You should also look into an Incase case - the Pro Snap sounds exactly what you're looking for.

PS - I'll try to post the other iLuv case when I'm on a real computer. Can't find it on my phone.

Same case, but two different links. I bought mine through Best Buy.

Well I went with a case off eBay for less than $5. Under the case i used back and front IQ shield costing 99 cents. That's why it looks little funky in the back.
