There isn't one.
This past weekend, I spoke to a customer service representative in search of an iPhone 5 case. I was told there are none for purchase thru Apple because they have not yet fully tested cases or vetted a particular case at this point. In fact, it may be a few more weeks before this process is complete. Apple rigorously tests accessory products for safety and protection, so that it can offer its one year warranty on Apple Store purchases. 
To complicate matters, the iPhone 5 has had numerous complaints on scratching of its aluminum back. As you know, Apple's marketing chief, Phil Schiller reportedly told a user that the iPhone 5's aluminum back naturally makes it more prone to scratches. 
So, what do you do if you want to keep your aluminum back from picking up daily wear and tear? You can either buy an untested product or do what I do - I left the clear plastic sticker that the iPhone 5 comes fitted with on the back of the phone (see below). It has just enough adhesive to stay on during heavy use and taking in and out of my pocket. It won't protect your phone from a fall, but it will certainly keep the aluminum back looking like new. The clear cover is holding on great now, and hopefully it will stay for the next couple weeks until we can get some cases that come Apple approved.  By the way, don't try to take a flash photo with the clear cover on the back. The flash reflects off of the cover and will fade your pictures to white. Pictures without the flash turn out great through, and the camera picks up enough light even at night that the flash is not even necessary.
