So I ordered a Bear Motion folio type case from Amazon yesterday for times

I didn't use a case at all for about a year. I ended up just getting a
bumper with a little Amazon gift certificate I won. I got it more for
grippability than protection, since my phone is always in my pocket or
my briefcase and iPhones are pretty tough to begin with.

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.

Hello Rick and List, OK, this was easy, I went to the archives and since I knew I had provided links for these cases before I just typed www.monoprice.com/ into the search field.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Alan, If the phone sits in your pocket most of the time I would strongly suggest a hard case and a good screen protector. There are the softer rubber like silicone cases as well but I hate those for use in a pocket because of what they are made of, they stick to the inside of your pocket and pulling the phone out becomes a real PIA. The sort of hard cases I personally like are the so called TPU cases. They provide decent protection but slip in and out of your pocket very easily. I also like the belt cases as I frequently rather have my phone on my belt for easy access. Regarding the Apple leather case, don't misunderstand me, it is not a soft case. It's actually a hard case covered with what they call leather. It feels very nice in the hand but if that's leather it sure doesn't smell like it. It smells like Pu leather, man made leather. It's a nice case but just not worth anywhere near $40. If you do a search on Amazon for iPhone 5s case, you will come up with hundreds that you and your wife can browse through. As long as you purchase one that is either sold by Amazon or Fulfilled by Amazon, their return policy is second to none.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Funny you should say that. When using my phone on my belt I used to wear it on my right but started wearing it on my left. If you are right handed, it sort of feels better this way because you don't have to switch the phone from your right hand to the left which is the case if you are carrying it on your right. What I would like to find is a belt case that is vertical instead of horizontal and is large enough to hold my 5s while it's in a battery case. I'm sure there is one somewhere, just have to find it.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
I've been thinking that the screen isn't made of cheap plastic and the back is metal. My iPhone 4 is still in it's hard shell case. A part of me is thinking that's really a sharp looking phone and iPhones are like 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 --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!

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.

RE: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi Rick, This started as somewhat of a joke but I wear mine on the left exactly for that reason. I'm right handed also. As for the vertical case, I had one for my iPhone 4 so they are around. Mine was white but there are various colours. I got mine from Amazon. The problem with the vertical case is that, when you bend down, the bottom of the case presses against your thigh and the case pops off your belt. Ron Danvers Falling down is part of LIFE...

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Try the Otterbox Defender. It comes with a belt clip. You can rotate the phone 360 degrees. So you can have the iPhone so that the home button is pointing down at a 45 degree angle. When you take the phone off the clip, it will fit perfectly in your left hand. --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013! Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your stupid parents? Act now!

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
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.

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.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Yes pretty much. The sides are rubberized along with the back. Even with out the clip, stick this in your pocket and you could stand on your head and it won't come out. I got use to it and my iPhone 4 hasn't been out of that case more then once or twice in two and a half years.

RE: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi Alan, If you keep your phone in your pocket and if you don't tend to drop it then having it naked is the best experience (isn't it always) *smile* I swiped my iPhone 4S off the counter in my store once, it is 40 inches high (around belly height give or take) and it fell on tiles which in turn are installed on a concrete slab. There is 0 give to that floor. It skittered across the tiles for 3 feet and there wasn't a scratch on it. On the other hand Rob from the Today in iOS Podcast said his 6-year old son dropped his old iPhone 4 on tile in the pool and it only feel from less than 3 feet and the screen shattered.

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.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi Sieghard, I used to carry my 3GS in a Defender and used the belt clip quite a bit. As I remember I started out with it on my right, dominant, side, but soon switched it to my left too, though I couldn't remember why. Your question got me to thinking and so I poked around the internet and found an article about crossdraw holsters that provided a ready explanation: it's easier to access the device from across your body, when you're sitting in a chair.

Sieghard, Yes, I can see how that fuzzy logic can come across as confusing. (lol) When I say I am right handed, I mean that I hold my phone in my left hand and do all of my swiping and tapping with my right. Hopefully, that makes more sense.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Of course. That's why their called accidents. They aren't called on purpose's!grin We either get insurance to cover it if we're a klutz or take the chance that we might have to cough up for a repair. The people who sell insurance love to scare people to death with the what if's. The reverse is true as well. If I don't drop it, I don't have to pay for a repair. We probably would be better off taking that money that we pay for the insurance and putting it aside incase we do need to pay to have it fixed. Ok speech over'!

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Yes, the iPhone 4 is heavier than the iPhone 5s, it is because the iPhone 4 both covers are made in glass, so to take a surface made in glass, and hard, should be a wider surface of glass. In the iPhone 5s, the back cover is made in metal, and it is harder than glass, then this metal surface could be thinner. Of course that a peace of glass, with the resistance of a surface of metal, should be so wide, and it will be heavier. I think that it is the reason why Apple used a metal surface in the iPhone 5 and 5s, to place more things inside the phone, and make it thinner. - Original Message - From: Alan Paganelli To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 12:24 PM Subject: Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case That's the case I have on my iPhone 4.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Like I said, the only reason I got a case was because it came highly recommended on this list, it was very minimalistic, I basically got it for free when I won an Amazon gift certificate and it made my phone more grippable. I could rest it on my thigh or the arm of the chair and not worry about it sliding off. I didn't get it for protection. I used to get cases for my phones, but I realized when I was thinking about a jell case for my E71X that I was turning a very beautiful phone into a rubber ball. Even though I'm not enamored with the iPhone, I paid a lot of money for it, so I want it to look good, and I don't want to bulk it up. I'm careful with it, without being obsessive, and given how strong and well made the iPhone is, I'm not worried about breaking or scratching it. I don't have a problem with people protecting their investments, but for me, I bought the iPhone so it would look good for me and not it's next owner.

RE: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
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.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s 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.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Well, I have a concern about this topic. I am herding some opinions about iPhone 5s cases, but really I can't get to any decision without a clear description of each case. For example, I am aware about the cost of the lifeprove case, and it is pretty expensive, even though I know also that they don't have a case for the iPhone 5s yet, and I understand that this case is so big also but not like the dropbox cases, , and big cases is something that I do not like so much. The other case, that protect the iPhone from every where is the dropbox. I don't know if I am spelling it well. But it is so big also. lifeprove and dropbox protect the iPhone pretty well, and protect the screen also. But they are so big, and lifeprove for iPhone 5s is not available yet either. What other choices are available?

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi, I have one of these cases, and it's pretty good. It lines up well with the connectors and buttons, it doesn't take up a lot of extra room, and I think it will provide basic protection, though it doesn't cover the screen at all, so it certainly won't protect the phone from water, scratches to the screen, etc. It fits snugly. My only annoyance with it is that I can't connect a lightning to 30-pin adapter to the phone while it's in the case. If you don't need to do that and you want basic protection in a form that isn't bulky, however, it should work fine.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Alan, Yes, I have a black one. It fits the 5s like a glove and according to my wife it has a real handsome look to it. Personally, I don't feel it's worth $40 however. I have this case because I got it for free. It was sent to me by Apple in apology for a mistake they made on my original invoice and ship date. I do like the case a lot but I'm certain you could do a lot better on Amazon. JMO. It's a nice case but way over priced.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Less, I went the hard case with the belt clip. I put my iPhone 4 in the case when I got it and I don't think it's been out of the case more then twice. The case came with the belt clip too and it was more of a bother then it was worth. I never found a place on my belt where it felt comfortable. My phone is always in my pants pocket so the hard case was a waste of money so that's why I wondered about the leather case. So far, I have 1 against and now 1 in favor! Anybody else?

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Alan, that's what I did. I have a good screen protector on the phone and a leather case covers the back. I spent some money to get these tools, but it's an investment, and for me, it's worth it. I could've save some money, I going to Amazon, but I figured at the time, the convenience was worth something. I got the case when I got the phone and everything was all set up the same day I got the phone.

Re: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
I used a Magpul Field Case with my iPhone 4 for the past year and slapped my new 5s into one as soon as it came out of the box. I'm worried about the screen though, particularly over hazards when it's just riding in my pocket. So I ordered a Bear Motion folio type case from Amazon yesterday for times when I'm out without a messenger bag or briefcase and the phone has to reside in a tight jeans ppocket.

RE: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
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.

RE: Leather iPhone 5 and 5s Case
Hi Anna, As I said before, I misplaced my 5S black leather case and it's just possible that it was in a box I threw out. Anyhow, I would have sent it back for sure, what you said about not being able to plug in the Lightning connector when the phone is in the case is incomprehensible to me. I mean Apple made this thing and I would expect nothing less than perfection especially considering the price. Yes, it has a thin leather covering, but it certainly does not protect the phone any better than a 3 Dollar TPU case. I actually bought one of these from monoprice.com and it also fits perfectly, it's also black and the only thing is that it may not look quite as nice. However, I can plug the Lightning connector in when the phone is in that case. Apple really should have made a case with belt clip or optional belt clip. I am actually surprised reading through a bunch of these messages how many people put their phone in their pocket. I guess it's OK for walking around, but I find it rather uncomfortable to sit when the iPhone is in my jeans pocket and I just totally prefer to have it on my right hip which is why I really like belt clip cases.

It lines up well with the connectors and buttons, it doesn't take up a lot of extra room, and I think it will provide basic protection, though it doesn't cover the screen at all, so it certainly won't protect the phone from water, scratches to the screen, etc. It fits snugly. My only annoyance with it is that I can't connect a lightning to 30-pin adapter to the phone while it's in the case. If you don't need to do that and you want basic protection in a form that isn't bulky, however, it should work fine.

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? --- Regards, Alan Go Chicago Bears in 2013!
