Speck SPK-A0784 Report


Speck SPK-A0784 Review by ctsmz (WA)

I ordered this in peacock blue and visually it really looks nice on my new white iphone 4S. I loved the form factor of my iphone 3G with its rounded edges and not really digging the looks of the iphone 4S but this cover fortunately improves my new phone's appearance!

The fit is nice (although I've only had it on for a day)--snug without feeling like you're forcing the iphone into it. A rubber cover feels a little more forgiving than the hard cases (always worried about damaging the phone). It's great that the back has texture since I've already dropped my phone three times (only had it a for week all time at home on carpet)and this cover definitely takes away the inherent slipperiness in the iphone.

This is my first time buying a Speck product and quite impressed. It appears well made (I've ordered other generic cases off of Amazon for less and they don't fit properly or missing holes for the buttons). I decided to order Speck after reading a CNET article on the iphone top 20 tough cases ([...]) and noticed 2 Speck products were in the list so decided to order this lighter version and Amazon offered a great price for it! I would definitely recommend this!


Speck SPK-A0784 Review by John Faughnan "John G Faughnan" (St. Paul, MN USA)

This is modified version of the case for the 4. The original doesn't fit the 4S perfectly, but this modified version does.

The original saved my iPhone 4 a few times, but it really doesn't introduce significant bulk. It's easy to pull from my pocket, but doesn't slip in my hands. Attaching headset and charge cable is simple. I've never tried it in a cradle.


Speck SPK-A0784 Review by Santa Fe Ranger (Santa Fe, NM United States)

I've used a couple of other popular cases for my new iphone 4S and they work OK. Each has its strengths and weaknesses. This Speck case may not have as much "protection" as some of the competition, but it appears to be more than adequate in that area with its rubber edges and hardshell back. An often overlooked feature is the large camera/flash lens cutout which eliminates the "flare" and washed out pictures that occur when using the camera flash. My Otterbox and Seidio cases have smaller and more recessed cutouts for the camera and flash. When using the flash with those cases, the light reflects off the recessed edges of the cutout and creates a washed out "flared" image. Not the case with this case :-). Works great with or without flash. I also like the fact that all the ports and buttons are readily accessible without having to "unplug" the rubber stoppers, etc. This case is simple, attractive, and functional without a lot of unnecessary bells and whistles. And an excellent price!

Speck SPK-A0784:: Description


Patterns and textures can turn “plain” into absolutely fabulous. PixelSkin HD has a shiny polished back with a matte pixel overlay, creating an eye catching, sophisticated and modern artful look. Light dances off the crisp, linear pattern of mathematical protection and perfection. This is a iPhone 4S case that will get you noticed.Founded in 2001, (with cases for the original iPod and the iSport, an iPod fanny pack with blinking lights) Speck has grown to become a worldwide leader in cases and bags for iPhone, MacBook, BlackBerry, iPad and tons of other personal electronic devices. But they're not a monolithic corporate entity: they're gadget geeks. Speck makes the sort of fun, functional, stylish cases that they’d want protecting their own gear—or, for that matter, their kids' and grandparents' gear.From concept to design to finished product, Speck puts their hearts, smarts, and guts into everything they do. Their downtown Palo Alto, California headquarters is often messy, always bustling, and filled with a crew of dedicated (dare we say obsessed) folks who really know their stuff. About a quarter of the company is in the product development group, and 100% of their products are designed and quality-tested in-house.Fan-favorite with its resolution doubled!.
