The iPhone 5 is finally here, and for some of you, it’ll surely be in your hands before long. The new design is quite snazzy, and although it’s not as delicate as the iPhone 4S, it does still needs protection, of course. Thankfully, many iPhone accessory manufacturers have already announced their new designs, and we’ve rounded up the early cases for you here. Bloggers for one of our sister sites, Apple Tell, will be adding more details and photos of other iPhone 5 cases as they cross the wire. Plenty here to get you started, though.

Each unique iPhone case will be printed with the date and time it’s ordered—that info will be marked on the inside of the case.

The SGP GLAS.t Series screen protector is made from a chemically reinforced glass that maintains perfect image clarity while protecting your phone’s screen from scratches and external shock.
Thanks to the anti-shatter film, excessive impacts may cause the glass to crack, but it will not shatter; that makes it safer to use than other glass products.

The electronics media, like Apple iPhone, for reading ebooks just keeps getting bigger and bigger. The growth of these devices is very good news for me as I am a self-publisher of ebooks available on KINDLE Bookstore by RAYMOND THOR. I write thriller-chillers for adults and spooky moon stories for kids and young adults
These cases are right on. I cant wait to get my hands on the new black slate glass phone and case it up.
The feature that iPhone owners need to look for in a case is its ability to protect your phone from impact. To accomplish this, the case should cover the phone all around especially in the front of the screen. The case should wrap around the edges of the phone as well as the screen edges. In short the case must cover the corners of the phone securely because when the phone suddenly falls it is the edges that first come in contact with the ground. From the picture above, I’ll pick X-Doria. They are good.
What?s up?
Great cases!
I love the red one that has a transformer feel. 🙂 And also the “wood grain” cases.
Anyway, cases are just (for me) accessories. But it is always better if it can do more than that like protecting your phone from impact like what Ron is saying. 🙂

X-doria in this list is looking pretty good.
