Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

UPDATE: Now that I actually have the iPhone 6 in hand and the case is installed, I'm going to edit parts of the review and indicate a change with a big UPDATED tag. Original review as follows: I'm hesitant to review this before the iPhone 6 line actually drops, but I feel compelled to do so anyway, just to give some initial impressions for somebody thinking about getting this in preparation for the phone. The thing that shocked me the most about this case was the level of quality. Being a Speck PixelSkin HD user for years, I prefer an all-TPU build in all black. I just can't do hardshell cases for whatever reason, making awesome ones like the Otterbox Commuter and Symmetry out of the question. I was super disappointed when Speck announced its PSHD wouldn't be available (at least for now). Scanning around the interwebs, I found Spigen. I had never used Spigen before, and had only loosely heard of their glass screen protectors. Being one of the very few case makers ready to go at launch, I dove into their product line and found the capsule case. Ordered it from amazon prime and got it literally the next day, even though I used the free two-day shipping. It's very close to the classic PSHD design with its raised lip and textured back. Even the location of the Spigen logo matches where Speck used to throw theirs. The back is smooth and slick, yet grippy, and it looks very classy. The shallow holes actually, dare I say, look better than the PSHD in terms of pure design. Granted, it's not as high of quality as Speck, but Speck will go a long way to tell you not a lot of cases are. I imagine when demand comes around strong enough and Speck finally does release its PSHD, it will be a little thicker and slightly harder/heavier. This case is extremely light and feels pretty soft, honestly, but the internal design (as well as the air cushion tech for the corners) give you a nice sense of security should you happen to drop it. I would have liked the buttons to be a bit recessed around the edges like Speck and many other brands do, but that's just a personal preference. UPDATED: Now that I've used it with the phone, I can say that the non-recessed buttons work just fine. They retain all of the clickyness of the actual buttons and require little to no effort to press. A couple of last things about the design. One, the mold meets in the very center of the edges, creating a hard line that can be a bit sharp in places. This isn't that big of a deal, though, and I'm told this might be a problem exclusive to my particular case. Second, the official Apple case might seem like a better deal since it's guaranteed to be exact spec and the quality will be what you expect. However, for whatever reason, they decided to completely trim off the bottom, which drives me nuts. THIS case still has the port and speaker outlines intact, which is awesome considering how sleek and slim it is. UPDATED: The case fits like a glove. Snaps on satisfyingly and isn't loose at all. Easily comes off and looks fantastic. Where the bezel and the curved display meets adds a bit of depth that makes the screen pop even more. Fantastic. Previous users of the PSHD that can't lose the all-TPU feel will be happy with the Spigen capsule, even if it's just until Speck releases its own update to the model. Even then, you may not want to go back. Pros: + The price. I got it for twelve dollars, and you really can't beat that for how high in quality it actually is. + Light and Slim. You're not losing the sexiness of the iPhone 6 with this case. + Great fit. Goes on effortlessly and stays on tight. It just looks so good. + Great internal protection. A raised lip with various air pockets/shock routing make this a case you can trust your phone's life with. + Great looks. The case is classy. There's no denying it. The dots on the back look great. + Great feel. It is a very pleasurable case to the touch. Also very grippy. If you tend to get sweaty hands, no worries for you. + The black is black. The lighting on the product photos tend to make the black model look kinda whispy. It's every bit as black as you want it to be. Cons: - A bit too thin. Used to the PSHD, I wanted a slightly thicker case for peace of mind. The internal routing makes up for this, but still. - Sharp molding line. I tend to find this style of molding kinda cheap, and you'll never find that sharp line on the PSHD. However, this might just be my personal case. - No recessed buttons. Another thing I personally associate with being cheap. That's just me, though. As mentioned before, though, they still work beautifully. As you can see, the pros far outweigh the cons, and at twelve bucks, you really can't go wrong. Thanks for reading and I hope I helped somebody out there with their decision!
