Speck SPK A0332 CandyShell NightDrive Verizon
I bought this case hoping for an easy solution to going for a jog with my phone and a credit card/ID on me, or to take out on days/nights where I simply wanted my phone and a few necessary cards with me. I was expecting an ugly case that would feel cheap, look gimmicky, and be bulkier than I wanted.
I was extremely surprised when I got the case and tried it on, though. The phone slides right into the case easily and holds very snug without wiggle room. I have the White iPhone 4 and I purchased the white version of this case. This color scheme makes it appear as if though the case and phone are one. It is very sexy for a case. The white is a perfect match to the white iPhone, so it looks very natural.
The rubber indention that holds your cards in has just the right amount of flexibility to hold one, two, or three cards in tight with no fear of one sliding out on its own, and not too much force required for removing them. I find that holding two cards is most comfortable for inserting and removing cards, however. Three cards fit fine, but the fit is very tight. One card fits great, and is held in as tightly as two.
As far as the bulkiness, the case does not add nearly as much bulk as I was expecting. Sure, it's not as thin as no case at all or a case without the card slot, but it really doesn't add very much to the size of the phone at all. Not at all what I was expecting from the images.
The build quality is top notch. The materials don't feel cheap at all, and the inside of the case is a nice rubbery backing so that your phone is not held in by hard plastic like other cases I have used before.
I only have two complaints about this case. The first is a complaint that I have with all cases. I use the Aux cable in my car to hook up to the headphone jack, and the hole for the headphone jack on this case (And many many other cases) is the perfect size for headphones, but my aux jack in the car is too large to fit in the hole on this case. I'll need to get an adapter, but again, this is a problem with all cases, not just this one.
Also, because it is such a perfect fit, and the case is not a slider, it is quite a feat to remove the phone from the case. Best way I have found is to slide a coin or something on the side WITHOUT the buttons, run it along the edge until you get one corner out, then move to the other corner until the phone pops out. It isn't easy, and it feels like putting unnatural stress on the phone and case, but it isn't an issue if you plan to leave the phone in the case. It is also the price of having a case that looks so natural on the phone. Some people can't even tell it's a case until they look closely because the color and fit are so perfect.
One more note, the case is very snug, but does leave exactly enough room to fit perfectly with or without a stick-on screen protector. I had planned on using this case only from time to time, but I am so happy with it, I just leave it on all the time now.

Great case. Fits up to 3 cards perfectly (drivers license,credit cards, not business cards) Very durable outer case, good inner shock absorbing rubber,and protective rubber lip around screen is nice. Very nice top button and volume buttons. Camera hole seems to work just fine with flash.
BalasHapusI absolutely love this case! I originally had a casemate credit card case, but i didnt like the fact that i couldn't fit a credit card and my photo id. So i opted for this case and I love it! It has a significant amount of protection and is very sturdy. I can also fit about 5 bills, my id and my credit card. I really like this case. I wish I had gotten the white one though. I didn't get it because i was worried it would get dirty easily, but the case is made of a plastic material that is easy to wipe off. one other problem is that the case is very very difficult to get on and off.

It's solid, stylish and doesn't stick to your pocket lining. Easily holds 3 cards in the back (I always carry my ID and a credit card in it.) Has eliminated the need to carry a wallet altogether. Perfect for clubbing. The design fits the phone perfectly; so perfectly that it's actually hard to get the iphone out. I struggled for a minute the 1 time I took it out. Not ideal if you own a dock station and have to take phone out of case every day. Bottom has slot large enough to charge the phone with the regular white cable it comes with. The side buttons have a great feel to them for adjusting volume; headphone jack also works perfectly fine with all headphones. Very sturdy and well built.
BalasHapusI have used tons of cases for iphones. I found the otter-box defender series before it was popular back when the first 3g was released and knew this case was a quality case for people who mistreat phones. (Like I do) Now I predict this case will soon keep get pretty popular soon. Reason:
BalasHapusPROS:
-No magnetic failure of cards been 1 months(yet)
-It is aesthetically pleasing. (i got the white) A
-All the buttons are very easy to press and use. (power, volume) A+
-The case does make phone a bit bulky but not bad at all considering I have used the Defender series. B+
-The "silent" switch is OK to switch on an off. (nothing like without a case but very usable) A-
-The official apple data cable dimension fit perfectly. Car chargers that have the data cable wider than normal dimensions will NOT fit. B
-Speak, camera, flash, and microphone slots are perfect. A+
-I have lost my wallet twice, and really pissed me off because I had no idea where I might have lost it. Then I told my wife I wish they would have GPS trackable wallets like my iphone. Then it hit me I want to invent a wallet case for the iphone. Then it hit me again virtually everything is invented already. Now if I lose my wallet its attached to my phone. Findmyiphone will solve this. You can even send messages to the bastard/good samiritan that has your property. A+
-MOST important I don't have to carry a wallet anymore. I LOVE IT. I keep in my wallet case 1 credit card, 1 driver's license, 1 ID, and 51 dollars ( 2- 20 dollar bills, 1- 10 dollar bill, 1- 1 dollar bills= 4 bills) Now there is a TRICK which I did to do this. if you fold the bills and put them in individually like an ID they will get stuck with the rubber-like interior. I solved this problem by folding/ wraping the money over 1 ID, that way when I push out the ID the money comes out with it. A+
Cons that don't matter at all:
-Tight fit, but not important since you don't want your ID's and money falling out.
-Random scuffs appear on case. (Reason why people buy cases)
-If you lose iPhone you lose wallet. (Less likely since you only have one thing to worry about now. Instead of two)
Stop thinking about it and buy, you won't regret it. Been stopped 5 times already and asked what is the name of that case. I LOVE THIS CASE. Forget the other peoples non-5 star reviews they expect the case to hold everything in there wallet and transform into a helicopter.
I love this case, i purchased a cheeper brand card holder case and it was the reason my iphone 3 got broke. This case on the other hand is great. I can throw my phone across the room and no harm would be done. It holds three cards a little snug but also holds onto one card snug. A++
BalasHapusThis product is amazing for a college student. I am able to put my ID card and room card in the back of it and there is still room for a credit card if I choose. It is great to have when I am working out or just walking around the dorm in basketball shorts and I don't want to have a lot of things in my pocket. The white case makes the white iphone look amazing. Great product!
BalasHapusUpdate: March 2012 - It has been almost a year since I bought this case and it is still my best case purchase (In terms of a partial protection case). I use it everyday, and people still ask me about it every time I pull my debit card or license out of it (These are the two cards I keep in it at all times). The build quality is still very solid. It has some wear and tear, but overall has remained good as new. I still highly recommend this case for your iPhone.
