Take Your iPhone Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

Underwater photography is starting to be the "cool" thing to do now and while most people don't want to shell out hundreds of dollars for a GoPro, wrapping your brand new iPhone 5 in a Ziplock bag and praying doesn't sound like a great idea either. In comes the Seashell. The Seashell SS-i5 is the perfect iPhone underwater case that protects your precious iPhone 5 from up to 40 meters (yeah, sorry about the misleading title) of water that is as cold as -10 degrees Celsius. 

The SS-i5 features its own high quality design and casing to ensure clear photos and videos and also allows for responsive touch operation in the water. Most people don't go out diving in Arctic-like waters but trips to the lake or the water park would be perfect for the SS-i5. Slap it onto your iPhone 5 and you'll be well on your way to creating your very own video documentary of your kid frolicking in the pool. Check them out for yourself and head over to their resellers according to your country of residence. 

Mod-3 Radius iPhone 5 Aluminum Case

Talk about a unique concept for an aluminum iPhone 5 case. Mod-3's minimalist Radius case for the iPhone 5 is the G-string of all aluminum cases. The concept behind the Radius is that it's designed to cover up less of the iPhone 5's design, while protecting every critical contact point. The Radius's unique and lightweight aluminum exoskeleton design covers very little in order to prevent any potential signal loss caused by the metal material, whilst maintaining the original design of the iPhone 5's brilliant thin construction. Each corner is lined with anti-scratch lining that'll provide vibration absorption. As much as we like the ultra-thin design, we fear the Radius will pose an uncomfortable grip with all of its industrial exposed metal screws around the back.

If you're interested in the Radius case, it's now available to be pre-ordered on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter for $59 in polished silver, cyan and red anodized colors. Kickstarter backers of Mod-3's Radius case will have the choice of choosing between a polished silver aluminum X frame or a matte black (slate) finished aluminum X frame.

Incipio Atlas, The Next Level of iPhone 5 Waterproof Cases

Look out LifeProof, Incipio is looking to bring you down under with its new waterproof case for the iPhone 5. The Atlas case is Incipio's first ever ultra-sleek, ultra-modern and ultra-rugged waterproof case designed with a co-molded Plextonium frame, a shock absorbing silicone inner layer and best of all - a built-in tempered glass front screen shield for smooth capacitive touchscreen butteryness response. The Atlas seems like a very appealing LifeProof alternative, if not a better choice. It's of course dust, dirt, drop, shock and water-proof and offers unhindered access to all ports and buttons including the iPhone 5's rear facing camera and LED flash.

You'll be saddened to know that Inicpio's Atlas case is still under wraps and we may never know when it'll get released. Though we do have a hunch it'll be soon. And when it will, the Atlas will come in a verity of colors with an $80 price tag.

Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Slim iPhone 5 Bumper Sleeker Than Before

If a slim bumper is what you're after, Spigen's new Neo Hybrid EX Slim bumper case for the iPhone 5 is the sort of bumper designed to really highlight the thin profile of Apple's hottest gadget, and we think it looks like a must have. Knowing that Spigen's Neo Hybrid EX is one of the best iPhone 5 bumper-style cases around - and we've even given it our Editors' Choice award, the now newer and slimmer Neo Hybrid EX Slim would be an absolute joy to use.

Besides having a much slimmer form factor than its slightly more protective sibling, the Neo Hybrid EX Slim is supposedly designed to be more tight-fitting around the iPhone 5. It features built-in tactile silicone buttons and a dual-layer design comprised of an inner layer of silicone and a hard, UV coated polycarbonate frame to provide you with just the right level of protection and grip, all while being very thin. Spigen's new Neo Hybrid EX Slim is of course available in the Vivid, Metal and Snow series which all amounts to 14 different color choices. The Neo Hybrid EX Slim is now available for $32, and it includes a set of three jelly bean home buttons, excellent full coverage front and back protection films.

Graft Concepts Debuts iPhone 5 Leverage i5 Case

Graft Concept amazed us with its unique luxury timepiece-inspired Leverage case for the iPhone when we had the opportunity of reviewing it first hand. And now, the company has taken its Gadgetmac award-winning case design and as expected, created the Leverage i5 case for the iPhone 5. The $50 Leverage i5 is a sophisticated mixture of improvement over the original. The Leverage i5 is a slim polycarbonate case which lets you rock it as a fully protective case with the included removable backplate or in a bumper-style fashion. It features a unique and now iconic metal lever latch mechanism for quick release and installation which was inspired by high-end watch clasps.

In addition to the built-in metal sleep/wake button located in the lever, one of the new improvements that come with the Leverage i5 case is an integrated metal volume rocker button. Graft Concept has also created an optional $15 card holder backplate accessory for the Leverage i5 that can replace the included flat plate with one that has a card slot which can store up to three credit cards.

And if you're one of the first 2,000 people to pre-order the Leverage i5 now, you get one gratis. iPhone 5 users will have the option of choosing between a black rubberized matte finished Leverage i5 or a glossy white case with the option of either a matte or chrome polished lever. The Leverage i5 case for the iPhone 5 is expected to start shipping in the month of January of 2013.
