Hi have you considered the life proof case? It goes completely around the phone and is waterproof. There is a little door that you open with your fingernail to recharge the phone, and there is a little screw that you have to undo to get your headphones. The person who has one says it is easy to do and the case has a screen protector and a slimmer than the OtterBox case. God bless, Wren PS I have not seen it yet, but I do plan to buy a 5S sometime in the future, and I will consider this case it is $79 at Best Buy, and it is from what I understand a very nice case and you can purchase either an armband separately or a belt clip separately or both if you are like me. Smile.
