I am sure everyone would have difficulties finding a suitable case for your iPhone, whether it's hard or soft, case or bumper, simple elegant or colourful fancies. Please share your current and past cases pros and cons.

First, they are a dime a dozen. Second, there are so many different iPhone models that the list gets mixed up quickly by folks who aren't savvy enough to recognize that many cases they recommend for themselves only work on specific iPhone models not being referred to in the same thread by others, etc. Pointless.
But, anyway, I used the Nuguard KX just because it offers pretty close to the ultimate protection. This is the case they drop from a ladder 20 feet onto a concrete floor, and the iPhone just bounces a little with no damage. The case is lightweight, but a little bulky around the ports, making it hard to use some accessories without a little modification to either the accessories or the case. The iPhone 5 is a beautiful device, and I hate to put it into any kind of case, but I also don't want to damage it accidentally. I don't know how to resolve this dilemma.
i use my own graphic design iphone case rather than other functional case. fashion and style is my first priority!

I'm using the Blade Metal Bumper.. I've had it for a couple weeks and I must say it's the best case I tried so far. I used to use an Incase but wanted something more simple and just went with the bumber and so far I got a lot of attention and people asking where I got it from. I got it for a great price at repairem.com they have good prices and quick service.
