$30... What the fuck

^^ & ^^^, I used to have a CaseCrown Lux Slider for my iPhone 5 and it was by far the lightest and least obtrusive case I could find that still protected the corners + front edges.
Give it a shot.

Seriously... are there any cheaper unofficial alternatives that work well?

The unofficial alternatives will cause you headaches with iOS7. It will come up everytime you plug it in and ask if you trust the adapter. It's not worth trying to save $10.
Also, this particular adapter contains a DAC (for audio conversion). Buying a 3rd-party knockoff guarantees that you will get a crappy DAC (and therefore crappy sound).
Will the certified mono price lightening cables work good with ios 7???

i have the air version for the iphone 5 - i used it with my 5 last week when i was on a business trip in Baltimore. the reception overall in east harbor was horrible and it drained my battery pretty quickly. the mophie was a lifesaver and it worked as advertised.
i will be trying it out on my 5s on a trip to Boston next week and will report back. anecdotally, i have heard it works well.

my girlfriend bought one for each of us couple months back and they work pretty good imo.
took it to disneyland a couple times and it was able to fully charge both our phones from ~10% with a good amount of charge still left in the mophie.
she has a 5 and i have a 4s (soon to be 5s once apple ships it)
for reference, this is what we have

I have the official case and love it. Love the feel of it.

I've had the 5s for a full 24 hours now and I gotta say I love it. TouchID is super quick. It has messed up a few times when my finger is really off center, but I can already tell it is getting smarter compared to yesterday. Slow-mo video is neat, though I've only fucked around with it. I can't wait until I have a real reason to use it. I'm coming from a 4S so the biggest things to me are the larger screen and LTE speed. LTE is only about 5mbps slower than my wifi at home. That and the overall speed of the phone itself are great.
Anybody have good game recommendations? I've been playing PvZ2 and that's great fun, but I want something that will look really great on the 5S. I thought about getting Infinity Blade 3 but I'm just not that interested in it after playing the first two.

Oh shit I forgot all about Asphalt 8. Frame rate could get quite choppy on even the iPhone 5.
How is it running on the 5S? Gonna re-download it onto my 5S now.
It appears that there are complaints about the accelerometer/gyroscope/compass values being incorrect.
It appears that apple just can't get another launch right.

Anyone able to download Doom Classic from the App Store? Keep getting error that it's not available in the U.S.
I didn't go to the genius bar but I was talking to someone on the staff and tried the case.
It looked great and felt nice but when she tried to remove it, I felt like the phone would snap in half.
Unbelievably hard to remove. I mean wow. She tried to push through the camera hole to get the phone out. Took a good few minutes of intense effort.

Magnetic variation, how does it work?
Any urban environment or place with a modicum of metal near you will throw things off if you move a few inches. This is hardly an indictment.
Well this is definitely going to force me to make the switch to Android.

Using a home screen shortcut creates a bunch of additional tabs if I use it.Additional clicks! Baaad

So the fingerprint sensor has a success rate of about 50% for me. I've scanned in 2 or three versions of my thumb, hoping the increased range helps a little, but it's still consistently finicky enough to make it a disappointment. I'm hoping it's just because I have to press at a slightly elevated angle due to my case, but I feel like there's definitely enough of my thumb for a proper scan. Anyone have similar troubles?

Nope. Has worked great for me.
I've had to redo it a few times to get it just right with my grip.

Nah, it always works for me. To the point where I got suspicious.
I think it's only told me to "try again" once.
If you know someone else with a 5S or live near an Apple Store, it might be worth it to test other models and see if your sensor is faulty.

Small heads up, these converters do not work with the HDMI converters if you wanted to buy one instead of paying £40 for a lightning HDMI out cable :/
Thanks for the heads up. I have a lightning to dock connector adaptor, and was considering a lightning HDMI adaptor, but didn't even think of this option - but good to know if I did ever come up with it.
There really aren't any apple stores in your area that show "Available for in-store pickup" online?
Canada, and no, I live on an island with no Apple stores. Only place to get an unlocked one is online.
edit: to illustrate. (even if we had the instore availability option in Canada)
About 12 hours round trip and $60 on public transport. About 8 hours and $200 by car.
Don't have my 5s yet, mind you. Case very much reminds me of the leather ipad covers. Just thick enough to keep form, but thin enough to still be minimalist. Scratches, scuffs, and smudges will only improve the look of the leather, and the inside felt material should be a good barrier to dirt and small particles. Satisfied with quality, but nothing orgasm inducing.
is that the black one?
I got the blue case for the Gold/White 5s.
Removing the case is easy when you know the trick: while pushing the center back of the phone, pull back each corner to loose it and it'll pop out a bit. Finally bend the case a bit one last time and the phone will come out

One of the things I'm most surprised by coming from a 4S is just how much nicer the screen is. I didn't think it's be so noticeable. I'm also much happier with the front facing camera. You can take decent photos that don't automatically look like an over compressed gif. Progress!
Just tested this and it worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing.

Less LTE coverage since it's newer?
IDK, it's dead slow. Took me 5 minutes of no service to load GAF on it. AT&T says I should have strong LTE coverage but it's way worse than 4G.
