The Speck CandyShell iPhone Case is a brightly-colored protective case that not only provides first-class scratch protection, it really makes your iPhone pop.
The $34.95 CandyShell case combines a hard outer plastic shell with a soft silicone liner. Available in 13 different color combinations, you can almost taste the bright Jolly Rancher colors. I have been using the purple CandyShell and it makes me think of grape-flavored snacks like snow cones or popsicles, yum!
The $34.95 CandyShell case well made. The combination of hard plastic and soft silicon is flexible and super easy to get on. It’s a strong case that will take some abuse, and the silicon liner provides cushioning for the iPhone.
The case is extremely tight-fitting. It won’t separate if dropped. In fact, once you’ve got it on, getting it off can be a little tricky. Speck offers a detailed video about removing the CandyShell from your iPhone.
The CandyShell comes with a cleaning cloth and a protective film for the front screen. The case itself can be cleaned with some rubbing alcohol.
One thing that should be noted: The CandyShell case itself isn’t scratch-proof. In a week of use, it picked up a few scratches and marks. But better the scratches are on the case than on your iPhone, right?
