Otterbox Defender
Otterbox is one of the most popular cases in general for protection and features. I used the Defender for my iPhone 4 so I decided to get one for my iPhone 5.
Pros:
Very easy compared to the others to take on and off
Unlike the Griffin Survivor the camera is not covered by a rubber piece
Very secure feeling in hand and in pocket
Not flimsy or too bulky
Cons:
The only Con I could find in there is nothing over the bottom to protect from dust.
Notes:
People say these have space in them and you can shake the phone inside which atleast in my case is not happening.
Overall:
5 out of 5
Ballistic HC Hard Core
Ballistic is also known for protection and I also had this case for my 4 and wanted to try it for the 5.
Pros:
Nice coloring
Screen protector built in
Stand built in for movie viewing and such
Cons:
Very hard to take on and off
Very thin feeling unlike the model for the 4
The home button is hard to press
it did not seem to snap together all the way
Overall:
3.5 out of 5
Griffin Survivor
One of the cheaper protection cases but still decent.
Pros:
Very secure feeling
Nice grip
Nice colors
Nice price
Built in screen protector
Easy to press home
Cons:
Phone kind of gets stuck in hard shell
Rubber over the camera (have to move it just to take a picture)
Harder to take on and off but not as hard as the Ballistic was
Takes some breaking in to use power easily
Overall:
4 out of 5
