I ended up going with the Slim Armor S (different than Slim Armor, headphone and charge port holes on the bottom are larger on the S version) and am loving it so far. I've had it on the phone for about 3 months now, since the 5s came out. The TPU material that the main part of the case is made out of is tactile, yet still tough. It also does not stretch when the case is removed more than a few times, which is almost a necessity if you are trying to fit larger aftermarket 3.5mm jacks into it. It comes off fairly easily, and once re-installed still fits snug and is not loose in any area. I've dropped the phone a couple times, not on any concrete or asphalt yet, thank goodness, but it has held up well. It has a nice lip on the front side that when the phone is dropped or set screen side down, keeps the screen a few mm off the surface of contact. The polycarbonate back plate is removeable, and replaceable, and is nice and slick (I did always get tired of my Otterbox cases having a hard time coming out of pockets), and the TPU has a decent grip to it, but I wouldn't call it grippy. More like a soft hockey puck. In recent weeks, the backplate has started scratching, but nothing too major, and since it is replaceable, I am not too worried about it. The size of the case is great. Adds very little heft to the phone, a much appreciated change from the Otterbox. The case does not come with any sort of screen protection, but Spigen makes glass screen protectors, of which I plan on getting, just haven't gotten around to it yet, that fit inside the bounds of their phone cases. They are a few mm thick, so the lip on the case still does it's job. I mostly bought this case to be able to fit into an armband without having to take it off, but I haven't bought an armband yet. I will update this review when I do.
Overall, the case is made with a lot of precision, and it is very apparent upon inspection. Thin, durable, and looks good. Quality case.
The two pieces are necessary for the best protection and use overall. The rubber inner lining is a little too thin on its own, without the outer shell. It still provides protection, but doesn't lock onto the phone quite as well as it does with the outer shell attached. However, there's really no reason to go without the outer shell, since it doesn't add any size or much weight. Taking off the case isn't as easy as putting it on, but hopefully I won't have to do that too much. It's a very small problem, though.
The case looks fantastic. I bought the metal slate color. It looks exactly like the company pictures. The design, materials, and color are all great. For a plastic case, with some decent protection and without much added bulk, I'm not sure you'll find better. I bought the Incipio Feather case when I received my phone. It is a very good, extremely minimal case. The Slim Armor S looks comparatively better and provides more protection than the Feather, by far. There is good cushioning on the edges and the on-the-table protection seems great. I will note that I have the GLAS.tR SLIM protector on there, which seems to almost negate the space between the lip and the screen protector.
I am writing this review after only having the case for a day. I'll update should anything change substantially.
I realized how effective this case is this summer while I worked at a summer camp as an instructor. I sometimes took kids on field trips off-campus to nearby smoothie shops so I had to have my phone on me. Also, I was often in charge of leading field games, which meant my phone fell out of my pocket regularly. Sometimes this meant my phone would fling out of my pocket while I was running and slide across the rough sidewalk. This happened about five times every week and only received small scratches on the screen protector and zero cracks. Meanwhile the Slim Armor S only sustained minimal scuffing on the paint.
While my phone took a beating this summer, it is still in perfect condition. I have had my Slim Armor for five months now, including the time I spent at camp, and it only has a few white marks where the color on the plastic was removed, and some scratching and scuffing on the back.
This is a thin and very durable case. Be aware though, that the lip on this phone case is quite shallow. If you choose to purchase this, have a good screen protector just in case you drop your phone face-down. Since it is thin, it can fit almost anywhere, making it very convenient for anyone on the go.
In short, the Slim Armor S is a great phone case for everyday use and abuse. It scuffs easily on the back, but not enough to distract from the quality protection it gives your phone. At only $25, this is a great deal for anyone looking for a colorful, durable phone case.

Deze beschermen het beste, voelen het fijnst en zien er heel fraai uit.
Afhankelijk van de hoe intensief je je telefoon gebruikt en de omgeving gaan ze zo tussen de 1 en 2 jaar mee is mijn ervaring. En dan koop je gewoon een nieuwe of je bestelt er al een extra als je dat al weet dat je zo lang met je telefoon gaat doen. Het is dus een verbruiksartikel. En een must om je waardevolle telefoon heel te houden.
