Best cases i've seen for iphone 5 so far. 1mm thick, still saves you the nicks and knocks but without bulking the phone up.

Obviously a thicker one would prevent damage but most people that don't get a case is because they're bad aesthetically and feel chunky..

I've ordered the clear one.

Just picked up a rocket fish iPhone 5 cover from car phone warehouse for £14.99.

Seems ok so far, like the look of the switch easy cases though!

Thanks for the heads up, I was able to get it into the case without scratching it.

Looks/feels nice on my white IP5.

I got the gear4 case too, it's nice! A good compromise of protection and keeping it slim.

Going nude here as I have done on my last two iPhones.

I'm going to be on the lookout for a waterproof case that I can strap to my arm and occasionally take it running. Any recommendations?

Just got a Griffin case for mine, fits nicely and decent feel. The rubber lip is slightly proud which is good for the clear back.... Shame the clear part is already scuffed and scratched out of the box. Lets see how good there customer services is when I complain.

I'll probably pick up something later, preferably with clear sides.

I want something like the fitbag soft leather pouch I had for my galaxy nexus. Shame it doesn't look like they are doing one for the iphone 5.

I've got a 3rd party bumper on its way. But I really love the phone naked given how slim and light it is. I hate the thought of adding bulk. It will take away from the experience IMHO.

That being said, a little extra grip will be nice. So we'll see when it turns up.

I wonder if it's possible to spray certain bits of the phone with spray on clear rubber like Plastidip.

love the look of that..

shame it doesn't ship till 5th Oct. If I don't find one before then, I'll probably go with this

Now that I have the iPhone 5 - I need to be looking for car mounts and chargers...

Anyone know of any iPhone 5 compatible car mounts that have chargers built in? I've done a quick google search, but it hasn't come up with anything very good :/

It's looking like I may have to wait a few weeks before some decent accessories come out

I currently have a old dock car connector, so I think tomorrow I'll go and grab a car charger that allows for a USB cable, and I'll just have to use the cable that it came with for now

Was expecting to use my generic car dock only to realise that it's both too thin and the headphones port is in the one place I can't get to, d'oh!

Yeah my current car dock will need to be "modified" so I can use the headphone jack, because I don't use bluetooth at the moment (in my van at least...). I really liked the idea of the jack at the bottom, but it doesn't bode well for my car dock Since the connector is new though, I wouldn't mind spending a bit more money on a decent dock that charged the phone (and preferably allowed for an AUX connection too!).

But after a little more looking, it doesn't look like there are many car accessories out for the iPhone 5 right now... Might just modify my current dock as I said, and get a rubbishy USB charger until some decent car accessories are released...
