Ron, When I obtained my first iPhone last year, I went back to the Apple store where I bought it and checked out their cases. The Apple store had several leather cases that came across as sophisticated and functional. They would fit inside a suit jacket perfectly without leaving a bulge or being so heavy the case makes the jacket hang awkwardly as the heavy duty cases do. I’m so glad you found a case that offers the protection from a drop, shows off the 5s elegance and gives the protection you need.
I too bought a private insurance plan. Rob at Today in iOS has said repeatedly that Apple Care does not include water damage. Now that I am insured until 2016, I have thought a little bit about the issue. As a blind person, I have become mindful about the proper care and use of the tools I use for my independence. When I was without a computer for a few days when I spilled a glass of water on the keyboard, I learned a lesson to be careful and to set up systems for handling liquids around electronic devices. I avoid taking the iPhone into a bathroom or kitchen. I also put it into a sealed Ziploc bag if I am going to be around a swimming pool, beach, or in a small boat. I learned the last idea from the guys who carry their firearm everywhere down here in the states. The problem is with wet hands or small splashes that can really do damage rather than having the item dunked in water.
