Speck Products CandyShell Case for iPhone SE, 5 & 5s - White/Raspberry Pink

I love these cases, they are light, form-fitting and they are good all-round protection for your 5. I always buy more than one to switch out if I get bored. The ones I had for my 4 were so good i bought the same (similar, the plastic shell on this one is shinier and slightly less opaque). Love how the corners are rubber to allow the case to flex but still maintain integrity (read: less cracking under stress) when dropped.Pros:- Cheap. Enough to replace ot buy more than one at a time (this is just good practice anyway.)- Tough. I'm consistently tough on HW, this is my go to case because it's well designed in my opinion.- CUTE! (sorry, I'm still female) It's shiney. This one is pink. I like pink.Cons:- if the interior rubber is any color other than black, then the edges tend to peel off quicker than the black. This is not a deal breaker, just make sure you have a screen protector.- Probably not for you if you like sliding your phone into a pants pocket.- There are consistent failure points where the hardshell plastic is narrow. BUT again not a deal breaker as the rest of the case is strong enough to compensate and still protect from drops.- I've only had it on for a month but I assume this one will scratch. Not a big deal to me because I'm more for the functionality (even though I like the shiney and pink.)

I love speck products, and the CandyShell Glossy Case for iPhone 5 is an excellent example of why. First off, I love the colors, and the different color combinations available. But on to more important things...One of the great things about the iPhone 5 is that it is slimmer than its predecessors, and I would hate to lose that slimness because of a big bulky case. The speck case adds a layer of excellent protection without adding too much size to the phone. One of my favorite things is that the speck case has a hard layer outside, and a softer, gel-like layer on the inside. It gives it an good amount of protection without adding the amount of bulk that many other cases do. The one gripe I used to have about speck cases has actually been fixed on the iPhone 5 case. The previous models just had rubber around the charger, which made those areas less durable and prone to breaking. Because the design of the charger has changed, so has the case, problem solved!My only issue (and this is probably actually a good thing) is that the rubbery layer picked up some lint the one time I put it in my jeans pocket. It got blue fuzzies all over it. This was a good reminder to not keep my phone in my pants pocket! But a heads up if you do carry your phone in a pocket, it might get linty. Granted I have had speck cases before this one that haven't had that issue... who knows, maybe it was a new jeans problem and not the case!I recommend this to anyone who wants a nice looking, durable case that offers protection without adding too much bulk. I love mine, and I would recommend it (or most speck products in general) to anyone!

This product has gotten a variety of reviews, which made me nervous about purchasing it. I finally just decided to go for it. Better wasting ~$30 on something that turns out no good, then break the iPhone and paying for a replacement.But all of that nervousness was unwarranted. The case looks nice, doesn't add much bulk the the iPhone 5 and provides a decent amount of protection. I am not particularly hard on phones, but there will always be the occasional drop and the phone resides in my purse amongst a wide array of hazards. This case accompanied by a screen protector has maintained my phone in like new condition without making it so bulky that my small hands could not wield it. It also fits over the buttons perfectly so the phone is fully functional within the case. I also appreciate the array of colors available. I think I may buy a second for color variety.My only complaint is that the lightning adapter does not work with the case, but you can get the quick flip version of this case if that is a concern. Also, the phone is so easy to pop in and out of the case, but not easy enough that you may fear it slipping out on its own. All in all a great purchase, I have not had issues with scratches on the case or peeling of the rubber bumper, like some other reviewers.

I have always loved the feel of these cases. They are sturdy and protective without sacrificing aesthetics. The polycarbonate body doesn't feel as if it is cheap like many others in it's price range. Speck does a wonderful job at pairing colors that everyone enjoys.I have been using this exact sort of case since the time that I had an iPhone 4. I now am using this case on my iPhone 5 and will soon use it on my iPhone 5 SE. The only downside to this case is that the rubber may start to discolor if you up it in the back pocket of jeans all the time. It will also start to wear out over time, but at this price it is no hassle to replace every year and a half or so! Please Speck, keep manufacturing this product!
