Canada, was 29.+tax. I ended up returning it, very slippery, I dropped the phone 2 times.
I've been searching high and low for the slimmest iPhone 5 case available. Short of the few Desmay clones on eBay (see bottom of this post for links and thoughts), these are the ones I could find.
I ordered all of these. Below are my thoughts.

1. Snug fit and the front has extended lip around the screen edge the glass won't touch the table if you put it face down. Top & bottom are exposed. Generic cutout for volume buttons & vibrate switch.
2. Feels cheap. But it's slim. Top & bottom exposed.
3. Very well built. Fits perfectly. Top & bottom exposed.
4. Hasn't shipped yet. I think it'll be like #3.
5. Not bad. This one's a matte color and not very grippy. Fits perfectly. Only top & bottom are exposed.
6. Same as #6, but with a rubbery, grippy feel. Fits perfectly. Only top & bottom are exposed.
7. The left, right and top of the bumper are a shiny black with the front and back edges being a off-black or almost dark grey color. Bumper is flexible but firm.
8. The case is a tight fit around the phone, it's a perfect fit that goes on without scratching the aluminum sides. The left and right bumpers of the case are hard plastic, while the back/top/bottom are rubber-ish TPU
9. It has a smooth, comfortable feel to it. It doesn't add any unnecessary weight and it fits nice and snug, as expected.
10. I like. Reminds me of the Case-Mate Barely There series. The fit is perfect. Fully covers left & right sides of phone. Top & bottom are open.
11. Meh. TPU case paired with a plastic bumper. All sides are covered.
12. Super light, no bulk, fits perfect yet not to hard to put on or take off.

Seidio Sadly Fails for iPhone 5!
After owning every single iPhone except 4S, which I encased in a Seidio Case because of the quality, protection, and look it offered...I am completely disappointed in the newest release for iPhone 5!!!
I purchased the Seidio Active w/Kickstand before my iPhone 5 arrived because of my previous experience with this companies cases. Sadly when it arrived and when I took it out of the box, I was disappointed to see that they had changed the quality of the rubber they had been using in previous cases.
The outer shell maintained its quality and feel that I loved from other cases but the inner rubber case was cheap, squishy, overly flexible and just had no substance to it. I then put it on my iPhone and was totally upset at the results. The soft rubber lip around the face of the iPhone is to high and while it will protect the screen when laid face down, it also inter-fears with typing and rubs up against your outer fingers. It also pulls easily away from the edges of the phone.
The bottom of the case is open from the headphone port to the right edge of the speaker grill allowing use of all adapters but the rubber edge is not reinforced or supportive. It flops about when it is touched and also is in the way when using the home button. This is my biggest disappointment with the case.
The only positives, the sage color is perfect, the feel of the hard case is grippy yet soft, and the kickstand is a nice plus.
I do NOT recommend this case and can only hope that Seidio takes this one back to the drawing table and not create something that feels and looks like it was rushed out to market the quickest and cheapest way possible. Here is a review from iLounge that found it a little better then I did but notes the same flaws.

I'm using the Grip Candy (black/ice - non-transperant back) right now, and I think it is the closest to the perfect case that I will ever find. Even though I think that, something has me always on the lookout for a better case. I was looking at the Tones before, and since you have both, I wanted to get your opinion on the two.
Also, I'm looking for the Grip Candy Sheer that has the transparent black back and the black sides. I don't know the name of the color combo, but I think they sell it at Verizon. Since it's the one you pictured, do you have this one? And do you have the black iPhone? I was wondering if you could see anything through the back.
They do sell this one at the Verizon stores. Unfortunately, you can't see through it at all with a black iPhone. It just looks like solid black when the phone is in the case.
Sure thing, let me try to explain:
The Tones is a very good case. It doesn't add much bulk and it's consistent and makes you feel your iPhone is protected. I like the design and feel of this case but it only has one downside for me: the material the case is made of is soft and if you're not careful, it might slip from your hands. Apart from that, love this case.
The Belkin I have is the one from the picture but I have a white iPhone 5, and you see a little bit of the back, but not too much. Its made of a adherent material, so its grip is good and it won't slip from your hands as easy as the Tones.
All in all, I love both but since I've been using the Tones since day 1, I switched so I have the thin Belkin case so I can "feel" more of the iPhone.
Hope this helped

It has helped solidify my decision to skip the Tones! On to the SGP Slim Armor!
But yes. Thanks for the description of both cases. I agree with your Belkin bits.

That's unfortunate, but not really a bad thing! My current Grip Candy has white sides that has begun to brown ever so slightly after 2 months of use. So an all black case is welcomed!
I have the Elago Outfit and Ringke Slim, both are great.
Putting them up on eBay cause I want to try something new. Bid if interested! http://www.ebay.com/itm/160943068113?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
