Many say that iphone 5 is loose in this case and that velcro closure is weak. Is this so?

A "raw" iPhone 5 will be loose in this case. It's meant for one with a case. I have a "rooCASE Fuse (Frost / White) Snap-On Shell Case for Apple iPhone 5 (Newest iPhone Sept 2012)" and it provides a snug fit which is good. My only problem with this case is that the side of the cover is peeling off!

I never had an issue with that, maybe a little extra space,but nothing to cause an issue.

Hello. I am happy with my case. I have a photo cover on my iphone 5 and it fits great in this case. There is not room enough for an otter box or similar in it though. The velcro is not as strong as other cases I have used but it is not bad either? I guess if I was going mountain climbing I would choose another case but for everyday running around it seems fine to me. Hope this helps.

Do not know. But I can tell you the iPhone 5 fits just perfect. No to be used with case, will be too tight . The Velcro does not last much, as it is cheap, get 2 .

The iPhone 5 fits well will the cover attached. The only problem I have found is that after an hour the music stopped. I looked at my iPhone and it said "Overheated". I am thinking about making some modifications to let more air in. It is a tradeoff -- more air...more dirt.

Yes my iPhone 5 with case fits perfect, however the small blue pads that hold the phone in place fall off. I have glued them back in place but one of the pads still falls off. The back of the pads are hollow making it difficult to stay glued on. I still use it but I have to hold the one in place until I put the phone in.

It does fit my iPhone 5 with a case, though the case is pretty minimal. If the case were much larger it wouldn't make it. I use it almost every day to carry my phone, a few credit cards, and keys in the side pockets. However, after about a year of regular use it is getting worn out and the fabric is tearing. Also, the belt doesn't stay tight enough and needs constant readjustment.

It was too easy to remove...it slides apart while using it. I put a couple pieces of tape on each side where it goes together to keep it from sliding off. I had the iPhone 4 version of this case and loved it, but the iPhone 5 version is loose. If you want it to come off easy, it does...at least the one I got. I don't want it to come apart--hence the tape. Hope that helps.

It is secured with Velcro also. I have had it for over a year and it has never come out or been a problem. Very well make case, and I would definitely recommend it.

Not really. The iPhone 5c is a bit thicker than the iphone 5 and that difference prevents the 5c from fitting well. To me it is way too snug in this incipio case.

I would say that it is slightly loose, but considering the fact that it's a rubbery case that is to be expected. I loved the case so much I barely even cared! It is a great product!

I can't speak to the shell case, but the regular case fits the iPhone 5 snugly enough that it won't fall out, but still can be easily removed from the case.

no mine fits tightly and has saved me plenty of times. I drop my phone and if it is my gym bag a lot. I should be more careful, but otter has protected my phone and I will buy another when the tabs break off from removing the it to use the phone.

Negative. It's tight fit just with the iPhone 5. [5 and 5s are similar in size]

probably not loose, it will be very snug and hard to get out, I have a Nokia Lumina 521. barely fit without a case on it.

I have an iPhone 5, which I thought was the same size as a 5s, and it fits very securely. I do wear it so the opening is on top, just as a precaution, but I've never felt that it might fall out.

Hello - the only factual information I can give you is that an iPhone 5 with a normal everyday case (element) fits width ways comfortably but in terms of length is marginal. The quality and function of this product is outstanding! I have several of them and use them for skydiving and wjngsuiting.

Not at all. The two parts of the case fit snugly together, and I've had zero problems with them coming apart. The silicone is designed to wrap around the whole phone, and the hard plastic bit sort of snaps on to lock it all in place. Very nice, IMO.

This iPhone5 case will hold your phone very snugly, even if you have a plastic screen protector on it. It will not accommodate your iPhone5 if you already have a case around it (even one of those slim ones around the edge only). The Snugg case is very nicely made and completely and securely protects the bare body of your iPhone.
