Features:

Form-fitting, high-grade TPE material helps avoid scratches and nicks to your iPhone 5

Smooth finish with textured sides adds easy to hold comfort and enhances grip

Notched to ensure complete access to iPhone switches, jacks and camera

Subtle, debossed pattern and rich palette of color choices create a variety of stylish options

There’s very little that stands out here. The case is simple, light and offers no special bells and whistles. At the same time, if you are looking for iPhone protection that adds a bit of style but DOESN’T add much weight or bulk this case might be for you. And at under $23 this is a case that is affordable. Consider the fact that the case comes in multiple colors and you might want to consider purchasing a few. That way you can match your iPhone to your outfit each day.

MSRP: $22.95

What I Like: Thin; Light; Multiple colors; Under $23

What Needs Improvement: So think it likely offers only minimal protection; No screen protector included

Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”) Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him. Dan is married to Raina Goldberg who is also an avid user of Apple products. They live in New Jersey with their golden doodle Nava.
