Default Iphone 5s Case

Just picked one of these up for the GF, wondering if any CPers have any advice on what case to protect it. Looking for decent coverage but not overly crazy and bulky.

Thanks

I'm using the Apple 5S leather case. I like it as it's slim and has a nice feel. Not bulky and makes the phone feel considerably, lighter, thinner, and narrower than my old iPhone 4 with speck PixelSkin HD case which wasn't exactly a big case. If I ever feel the need to change I will probably go back to a PixelSkin HD as that IMO was the perfect iPhone 4/4S case.

I'm happy with my Apple leather case. It's a little pricey though.

Take a look at iLuv, Incipio (feather), OtterBox (Reflex & Prefix series) and Moshi.

All slim cases, with minimal bulk. They won't protect like a defender, but the occasional bump or 3 foot drop, and they should be OK.

I have the previous version (but roughly equivalent) on my Galaxy S3, and I like it a lot. I think I paid about $9 including shipping on EBay

I have a Mophie battery case.

Almost twice as much battery power, and it protects your phone.

I just checked that out at their web site and it looks like a decent case. I like cases with slim profiles that don't add bulk to the phone like some of the Otter ones.

Oops, forgot to add.

The battery case can be charged both without and with the iPhone inside it.

As well, and very beneficial, it is charged through the universal micro USB plug in. While the case plugs into the lightning plug on the iPhone, you don't have to buy the premium priced lightning chargers.
