Incipio Faxion Obsidian Black / Obsidian Black Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case w/ Polycarbonate Frame for iPhone 5 IPH-823 Incipio Faxion Obsidian Black / Obsidian Black Semi-Rigid Soft Shell Case w/ Polycarbonate Frame for iPhone 5 IPH-823

Pros: Feels really solid. I like the material covering the buttons. Easy to press. Nice front coverage. Ports on the bottom are easily accessible. Easy to put on.

Cons: The case does add a little bit of thickness and weight to the phone. And the only reason you'll notice is because of the how ridiculously light and thin the iPhone 5 is to begin with. Hard to get off. Like impossible.

Other Thoughts: I didn't realize from the pictures that the case is shiny. Like obsidian. Duh. Not necessarily bad, just not what I was expecting. I bought a temporary case when the phone first came out that was much thinner and lighter so switching to this was off putting. Basically, it makes the phone feel like a case-less iPhone 4. That all being said, if my phone were to drop on the ground I would rather it be in this case than my little flimsy one.
