All of the Speck CandyShell iPhone 6 case models fit like a glove on my recently purchased Apple iPhone.
I had to push the cases on my iPhone more forcefully than used to with Speck products. But once it was on, the snug fit assured me that my iPhone was well-protected. The outside of the case is hard plastic with a non-slip, rubber-lined interior. A raised bezel runs the perimeter on the front of the case to protect the screen from scratches when your iPhone is faced down. At a thickness of 0.16 inch, the case is slim enough not to feel overly bulky, yet thick enough to provide ample impact protection at military-grade drop standards.
The power and volume controls click naturally beneath the rubber buttons with no fuss. At the top left of the case, there is an opening for the mute function, allowing you to operate the switch at its natural state on the iPhone. At the base of the case are openings for the 3.5mm audio jack, the Lightning adapter and the speaker. Avoiding the common issue of an improperly sized 3.5mm plug, the CandyShell cases provide a larger opening to accommodate a variety of audio jacks.

The new CandyShell Clear and Clear with Glitter designs for iPhone 6/6s are the perfect way to show off the factory finish of your new mobile phone. These dual-layer cases offer military-grade drop protection and are either completely clear or offer some shimmering glitter to display the new finish of your iPhone 6/6s. If this isn’t enough, the CandyShell Clear is resistant to ultraviolet light and many chemicals, and it resists yellowing.

According to Jenny Davis, Speck Colors, Materials, and Finishes Design Manager, “CandyShell Luxury Edition let us incorporate our unmatched protection with sophisticated designs so our customers never have to compromise on either. At Speck, protection is our first priority, and we never compromise on designing quality cases.”
CandyShell Inked Jonathan Adler for the iPhone 6/6s
[soliloquy id=”4857″]The CandyShell Inked Jonathan Adler Series offers eight “impeccable designs” from the world-renowned New Jersey-born designer. Coupled with all the same protective features; you will be inclined to put your iPhone face down, just to check out these unique designs.
According to Bryan Hynecek, VP of Design, “Consumers shouldn’t have to compromise on protection when they buy a designer case. With the new Jonathan Adler by Speck collection, they don’t have to.”
