    Who has an Iphone 5 and has a good case they recommend? I don't really care for the hard snap on cases but I will look at anything. (Don't post if you have nothing to add on the subject)

    I use that one. I hate bulky cases myself. What type of cases are you interested in?

    I have this one:
    Amazon.com: OtterBox Defender Series Case for iPhone 5 - Retail Packaging - Glacier: Cell Phones & Accessories

    I paid $50 for it now I see its only $25, very nice. Its durable and has a screen protector on both sides (back covers the apple). I've been very impressed and have the grey/white one.

    Otter box Defender. Buy it off amazon for half the price. Best 20-30 you'll spend on a case.

    Otterbox comes in several designs. When I had a 3g I originally got a Defender. Later, I switched to a Commuter. It was was less bulky and I hated the built in screen protector. Either way, both cases were wonderful.

    Hopefully these guys will get around to making an iphone 5 case...

    I bought the otterbox when I got my iPhone 5, an as soon as I could get the lifeproof I ditched it, I work around too much dust, water, oil, to have my phone have any open areas

    If you are really worried about water you can pay a company $50 or something like that. Ship the phone to them and they suck all the oxygen out and spray it with a coating. So the water never really touches any of the phone components. But I got a S3 and went with the otterbox commuter case. Plus the phone has a built in splash guard. So I should be fine.

    I had the otterbox on my 3GS and I dropped it in a bucket of water and pulled it right out, the phone was fine and no water go on it. It does make the phone a lot bigger though.
