I am a fan of Spigen SGP’s products. Their Glas.t screen protector was the first tempered glass protection I tried and I have an early sample on my iPhone 5 as I write this. They have some great cases on the way for the iPhone 5 too and I got my hands on a pre-release Ultra Thin Air for Apple’s latest phone. I love it!

Here’s a video look…

And here’s what the company has to say.

SPIGEN SGP iPhone 5 case Ultra Thin Air Series is a hard case made of polycarbonate material. The durable, lightweight, and non-toxic qualities of polycarbonate makes the Ultra Thin a reliable solution for protecting the iPhone 5 from external impacts. The Ultra Thin Air case is carefully designed to precisely form-fit the phone to highlight the original design of the iPhone 5.

The case has a UV matte coating and does a great job of protecting the back and sides. It also protects the corners without any loss of access to the phone’s functionality. The cases are available for pre-order now (September 28) and will ship in one to two weeks. Learn more here.

MSRP: Crystal Clear / Soft Clear : $21.99; Smooth White / Smooth Black : $19.99

What I Like: Thin; Light; Protects from scratches; Easy to put on; Comes with a screen protector and buttons

What Needs Improvement: No lay on the table protection; Little drop protection
