Incipio has announced a number of cases for the iPhone 5. This is the first in a series of quick-looks at each. This time out we have the Incipio Faxion.

The cases simple but,as this diagram makes clear,there is a lot going on with it.

The cases features:

Rigid Plextonium™ shell with impact resistant core

Excellent shock absorption

Innovative hybrid design

Superior Protection

I like the case a lot. As you can see from the video, it offers a simple but effective means of providing your iPhone 5 complete protection, including a bit of lay on the table protection. And at just $34.99 it won’t break your budget either.

MSRP: $34.99

What I Like: Good protection without adding too much bulk; Comes with a screen protector and a stand; Under $35

What Needs Improvement: If you like leather cases this isn’t for you; If you want good protection without lots of bulk you will like this case
