What's new

What cases did you get for you iphone 5s

Otterbox commuter wallet. It's nice to have my id, and debit card with me. No need to carry a wallet anymore.
 
I agree with the Spigen cases, great quality. I just received my Magpul Field case and I really like it! It's not expensive either so that's a bonus for people with several cases like me.

My newest Spigen case. The Neo Hybrid
 
Does the neo hybrid have a raised lip around the screen or is it flush to the screen?

OtterBox Defender. The only choices were this green with camo and a bright orange with the same camo.

It's hard to get it in and out of the clip and it's hard to lift the fingerprint sensor cover, the mute button cover and the Lightning port cover too.

Hate to rain on your parade but that case was made for the iphone 5, not the 5s. That's not a "fingerprint sensor cover" that's meant to lifted up.

Looks like a scanner cover, and I'm using it as one.

Here is a back picture. I cannot find this on their website. The Defender on the site looks different from the front as you can see

And from the front...

You can use it as one all you'd like, the purpose of it is not to be a scanner cover and that's why you're having trouble using the finger print scanner. In the second set of pictures you posted, the front is what it would look like if the case had been made for the iPhone 5s.

Just so I understand what you are saying, the Otterbox Defender for the 5 (which i must have) has a lifting cover over the home switch that I should not use for print scanning with my 5S phone because the iPhone 5 has a standard home switch, while the correct Otterbox Defender for the 5S does not have the lift cover over the scanner home button and that is the cover I should get? Otterbox was great with any issues I had for my 4S case, I'm sure if I contact them to explain I have the wrong case they may help defer some or all the cost for the correct one (after all the box was misprinted as for the 5S only and not for the 5).

If they help with the cost of the correct case I will let everyone know (good customer service should be shared).

The correct Otterbox Defender case for the 5S has a screen protector that goes down past the home button. There is a hole in the screen protector directly over the home button, allowing the TouchID feature to work.

Here is a photo of the case on my 5S.

Thanks Sci, I'm going to email them Monday after I try the phone store that sold me this one if the store doesn't help.

If the box your case came in was labeled as being for the 5S, it was certainly mislabelled.
