Looking for a case for my 5s that isn't bulky at all but still provides some protection and has some grippiness. I like the way the spigen slim armor case looks. Any recommendations?

Mrs. Seymour has a lifeproof and it's a little hard to hear her when talking on the phone

I had a Lifeproof after I had an Otterbox.

Lifeproof is harder to hear through and the adapter cord for plugging in headphones or auxillary cords is a pain in the arse

Went back to Otterbox

I have this one and it fits your needs exactly:

The Tech21 Impact Mesh case is the ultimate impact protection design, fully integrated with D3O for your iPhone 5 or 5s. The D3O material provides a barrier between your iPhone and everyday accidents. If you should drop your iPhone, the molecules within D3O lock together upon impact, absorbing the energy and dispersing the energy away from it—so you have an added layer of durability.

I have been a naked iPhone holder for 6 years until literally just this week….so far I love it

I've always hated having a case but this one I cannot even tell there's a case on my phone…feels fine in my pocket, and it doesn't affect the integrity of how it looks…I think big arse otter box cases just makes your phone look like a 1994 car phone

I just got a pure gear dualtek case. I've had a otterbox commuter and it, like most otter box products, fell apart. I've also had a lifeproof and survivor+catalyst (both waterproof). People never could hear me talking on them.

Of the four for everyday use, the dualtek fits exactly what you want.

I've had the slim armor case for my Iphone for awhile and I love it. I got the all black version to go with the black Iphone 5s, looks very sleek

This x100.

When everyone else is complaining about their battery being dead, I'm still at 100%. I've never gone a day where my phone has died and I only plug it in at night.

The case itself is durable and hardly noticeable. I bought some thick, $30 screen protector at the AT&T store that apparently shatters to take all the stress from your actual screen.

I have a speck and love it. I hated the bulky otterbox and lifeproof cases I've had in the past.

I've got a speck as well. Has worked great for me. Has grip on front but still easy to slide in pocket.

Have had a Speck Pixel Skin for last two iphones. Both were dropped many times on a plethora of surfaces and have never had a scratch

Incipio makes some nice cases.

https://www.incipio.com/cases/iphone-cases/iphone-5s-cases.html

I use a DualPro, which is probably thicker than you want, but it is easy to grip and offers a lot of protection. I also have an KICKSNAP, which feels thinner, but has a gloss finish (easier to get in and out of pockets). The [OVRMLD] looks pretty much the same as the KICKSNAP.

I have a bumper on mine. Easy in and out of the pocket, rubber edges keep it from sliding everywhere, and offers some protection.

That's because you have two batteries.

I was happy with my Tech21 Mesh until I saw the Mophie space pack now I want.
