What is the best case/cover for the iPhone 5?

I'm getting an iPhone 5 but i want to buy a case/cover first

I have a cheap $10 one I got from eBay. Has a silicon piece that covers it and plastic that snaps together on the front and back.

I don't really have a brand that I prefer, but get a case that wraps around the corners/edges of your phone, so that if you drop it the phone will be protected. Covers that do not wrap around don't provide protection for your iPhone!

This depends on the preference of aesthetics versus durability. If you want your phone to be extremely safe and virtually unbreakable, Otter Box is the best brand. Other good brands are Speck and Belkin. They all have websites explaining their designs. Personally, I prefer Belkin because of its lightweight design, yet it still protects my phone very well.

I think leather case is a good choice.

  • Which protects the iphone better Silicone or Hard Case cover? For example if I dropped it would the force be transferred to the phone more readily when using a hard cover?

  • Where to find good hard cover iPhone 3GS case? Hi, I'm looking for a hard cover case for my iPhone 3GS. I would like the front part of the cover to be raised a little higher than the screen in the front so in case it falls on the floor, it won't land on the screen. What brands, websites, or stores do you recommend? I'm only looking for HARD COVER cases, so no silicone or rubberlike materials. I don't want anything more expensive than $25. Thanks! Something like this, but for the iPhone 3GS:
