I prefer the phone without a case, but as others have said I find it is a bit too slick. I would like something like a simple rubber band to go around the edges, but have cutouts for ports and buttons. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? I have not seen one, but it sounds like the bumpers m

Hi, I think it's pretty difficult to not have any minor scratches on an iPhone 5 , especially the black models. The anodized aluminum just scratches easily. For me, the main reason I put my phone in a case is to maintain its value. I'm ultra careful with my phone but, for most, I don't think
