Personally, I would never keep my iPhone out of a case of some kind. All
it takes is one drop with the phone landing in a bad way and you have a
nasty scratch or worse, a broken phone. Given how much it costs to
replace an iPhone without a subsidy, I'm not willing to take the chance.
Sure you can have apple care for $99 that would replace it for $79
deductible or some other protection plan like Square Trade which I
definitely plan to do before the 30 days run out but I still prefer
having it safe in a case. If you want the looks of the phone to show
through get yourself a clear case. I have one of those as well for my 5s
that cost me about $13 and it lets the beauty of the iPhone show through
while still protecting it with a hard cover on the back and clear
bumpers around the sides.
Having said that, I know there are folks that prefer not to use a case
so in the end it's really personal preference.
If you are interested in taking a look at the clear case I referred to,
let me know and I'll send you the link to it on Amazon.

the brick outhouse. Can't say that other word on this list! I've had
plastic cell phones that really did need a case. I'm just wondering out
loud if I really need a case or if I've just bought into the advertising
marketing idea that I do. So I guess maybe this is expanding my
original question. Does anybody on the list or has anybody on the list
just skipped a case? Has or is your phone any safer

Alan, I have an iPhone 5 and mine is always in my pocket too. Based
on a recommendation I got from this list, I use the Tech21 case that
completely covers the back of the phone and the sides with holes for
the plugs and the lightning connector. I also have a film protector
on the screen since the Tech21 does not cover it at all. The case
does have a special material around the edges that remains flexible
until it comes in contact with something at which time it hardens. I
really like this case because it offers good protection without
adding any bulk to the phone.

As my wife and I were just talking about, do you need a hard shell
case when your phone is always in your pocket. So what do all of
you use. A hard case, soft case, no case?

I'm not certain which case you got, I know there are number of
other cases that Apple sells. My case has no older to it. But
this is a subjective thing and what's good for one is probably
not good for another.

Hi Alan,
I did buy one when I ordered my iPhone and it of course showed
up after a week whereas my iPhone took almost 4 weeks. In my
book it’s a disappointment and I certainly don’t think it’s
worth $40. I would love to send it back to Apple, but I
decided to keep it in a very safe place until my iPhone
arrived because I did want to see how it looks when the iPhone
is in it, but I put it in such a safe place that I can’t find
it any more. **smile**. Another $45 wasted (that is what it
costs in Canadian currency). Would I recommend it? Probably
not, as I said, it’s OK, I am sure it will fit great, but it
smells funny and in my book looks cheap and you can probably
buy a $3 TPU case which would do just as good a job protecting
the phone, that’s like one tenth the cost of Apple’s leather
case and I can guaranty that the Apple case is not ten times
as nice. Oh well, I guess they have to make money somewhere
considering how poor they are. In my opinion this is just as
much of a rip-off as a Lifeproof case with Belt clip for $110
or $120 or whatever they cost.

*Subject:* Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi all,
In the Apple store app and it was also on the Apple site they
have a new leather case for the 5 and the 5s. It's suppose to
fit the 5s snug and they say even all the holes line up etc.
It sounds nice and I'd like to get one but before I shell out
40 bucks I was wondering if anybody on the list has one of
these cases and if so, what has been your experience with it?
