Great Case When New But Falls Apart
I bought this case from Speck (white/black) and it pretty much addresses every design flaw that has been associated with the Candyshells for other iPhones. The grips seem to be well made this time, not lint traps. The case fits perfectly and has a nice slim profile. The rubber covering the buttons give good tactile feedback and the buttons are easy to push. One big upgrade is at the bottom of the case where the lightning connector is located. The small strip of case rubber/plastic that bridges around the connector port is much smaller than before which means a much less chance of breaking off like on practically all other Candyshells of the past. Great case and the white/black looks slick on a black iPhone5. UPDATE (5 months in): The case has held up well. The strip of plastic around the lightnight port is showing no signs of coming apart. The only wear&tear sign is on the rubber grip strips that are on the rounded edge of the phone where they rub against my pocket when taking my phone out. I expected this to happen and it is pretty minor. Unless I have my phone about 8" from my face I can't even tell the rubber strips are worn down a little. UPDATE 2: My case is starting to fall apart so I'm taking some stars away. The rubber edge around face of the case is peeling off in some areas, the rubber grips on the curved parts are loose from being taken in and out of my pocket, and there are cracks on the speaker cover. Great case while it is new but does now hold up to wear and tear.
