I recently got an iPhone 5s, I want a case that's thin enough so i can plug my Audio Technica M50s into them, put it on my belkin dock. I also want it soft enough so the case isn't brittle and easily breakable but durable enough so it doesn't slip out or allow damage to the phone. I also want lips that cover the edge but most cases have that. Any ideas of quality cases that fit these requirements.

Do you want it to fly too? :P (joking).

Erm...you could go for some kind of metal case. That's what I have. It's black and has a brushed aluminium texture to it.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

Get the Tech21 D3O Impact case and get a small headphone extension cable. It will work out nicely.

In all honesty I would go naked with it.  It's not the like iPhone 4 where the back was all glass... ;)

The front is. My sister broke her screen after a few months of having it, while my iPhone 4s (with a case) looks brand new after 2 years hue

Indeed a case will protect it more than a non-case will.  But doesn't that ruin the WHOLE purpose of a super slim phone when you are going to slap on a case anyway?  Yes, I know he wants a "slim" case, but any case is going to add bulk which takes away from the iPhone, not add IMO.

He never said he wanted a super slim case. And a broken screen will take away from the iPhone a lot more than a case will, imo.

I use the Zero 5 with my iPhone 5 and it works perfectly with my M50's though it might be a little to thin for your likings.

You're gonna pay that much for that phone just to put an ugly case on it? Comparable to putting a bra on your car or covering your couch with plastic..

People are so blind with cases!

I run mine naked but I just ordered bumpers on Amazon. I don't want a full case.

I use to rock a clear case prior to going naked but yeah, it still got scratched up etc. plus I love the slick feel.

 

When you drop your phone, it has a very high chance of usually landing on the screen or the top anyway.. so what's the point?

I recently dropped mine and it landed on the top hence why I ordered bumpers.

 

Sorry for the rant, thought I'd lighten up a brother.

Hands are perfect cupholders.
