So my iPhone 5 arrived, and just before, and through today, new cases have arrived for me to slip on, poke at and to drop, stomp and rollover — well, ok, yeah, I have been known to throw a case or two, without an iPhone, to see how they hold up to the punishment.
Let me just review my basic review critera for a phone case:
1. It should cover the edges of the phone well (where it is likely to bump into things).
2. It should leave ports exposed or at least accessible.
3. It should be one piece.
Those are my requirements. If you treat your iPhone with a more delicate touch, or a rougher one, you may need more from a case or less.
