What have you got? I used a Beyzacase for my 4 and have found these online for the 5... http://www.beyzacases.com/pd-iphone-5-zero-series-...I currently have the brown with blue stitching on the 4, having discovered it after having had the black/red for a while so passed the latter onto the OH. Brilliant cases, don't add any bulk to the phone, hard wearing and offer fairly good protection. So before I go ahead and order, I wanted to see what you guys had come up with any hear any feedback. I also can't work out whether the tan/yellow is disgusting or actually quite nice. My 5 is black/slate. Incidentally, I came across these as well... http://beyzacases.co.uk/astonmartin/#I love them but not willing to pay the extra for it. Oh, and I also love these... http://www.beyzacases.co.uk/astonmartin/products/f...

I only used the apple bumpers on my 4 up until my sister bought me a novelty cassette case one a couple of months ago but ideally I would like to return to the bumper now I've switched to the 5. I hope apple start making them.

That sort of case really detracts from the phone in my opinion.
What's the point of having such an aesthetically pleasing handset and wrapping it in something like that!?

Mine...   The Gear4 one on the 4 has been fantastic, I also love that it looks like tyre tread on the reverse (after all the back of the black 4 is only black). Great protection. The 5's Belkin clear case has been good so far. Haven't noticed it at all & like that the apertures for camera lens & volume controls etc are of good size. Still aesthetically pleasing without looking like a leather wallet sock thing with some unrelated branded name in bold on it. ETA. Socks are sweaty and smell

I had a Speck Pixelskin case on my ip4 - I didn't really want one but Apple sent it me because the bloody phone would hardly work without it!

What's the point of having such an aesthetically pleasing handset and wrapping it in something like that!? Because to me the main point of the phone is it's features, not its looks. I recognise that to some people they like the look of the phone and I agree that this case won't be suitable to them. They'd prefer a slip type case like those in the OP. I just want to be able to use it without fear of dropping or breaking it.
