The new iPhone 5 does break new ground for these devices. Scratching issues nonwithstanding, this is the lightest, slimmest, and sturdiest iteration in the lineup. And this phone has an enhanced beauty factor combined with a tactile feel that is prompting many owners to go with either a slim case or even no case at all. I think that the major case manufacturers have some options out there, but word is that a lot more options will be available by the end of the year. Otterbox and Speck are popular for those concerned about their latest iPhone becoming a frisbee. Belkin, Incipio, and also Speck currently have options for slim line cases. But it does depend on wether you are looking for max protection, or max phone visibility and feel.
