Anyone have any experience with this brand, the candy shell line in particular?
I had a Speck Candyshell for my iPhone 3GS and it was a pretty darn good case. I loved it and would buy it for my galaxy tab if I hadn't already ordered bodyguardz for my tab.
I am very much hoping to have some experience with the candy shell line from speck. Just as soon as they get it back in stock I will be ordering it. Until then I bought a cheaper version to keep the tab safe.
Hi can you post some pics of the candyshell please? Just to what it looks like...is it something similar to the Otterboc Commuter case?

I have the white candy shell from speck. I really like it fairly easy to put on and take off and the buttons are still easy to press and you can get the sd card out with the case still on.

Picked one up off Amazon and decided to snap a few pics today:

I'm calling it the "stormtrooper" now
Speck Case is far SUPERIOR!!!
Okay, I just received the Speck case for my GT and I have to say after owning a pretty good selection of cases from the Incipio SiliCrylic to the leather folio case to the OEM silicone and even the Otterbox Defender, this case is hands down the best case thus far.
It is well made, fits very snug and secure, the hard candy shell is fantastic and provides great grip-ability. Not to mention it slides easily into pockets and looks amazingly stylish. Great industrial design. Did I mention it adds no bulk what so ever... Kudos Speck!!!
If it only had a kick stand I would have got one

Does anyone know of a hard case like this with a built in kickstand? I've only seen one and it kind of looks a little cheap (it's mostly clear with colored rubber on the sides).
I'd love to ditch my book style case for something slimmer, but I need a kickstand.

Could always use it in Combination wit the Arkon Stand:

That's what I'm considering. I already have the stand and its pretty good.

has anyone tried this case there is no reviews on amazon for it so i figured id ask here decent price looked pretty sick anyone has experience from these phone cases almost got one for me evo a while back but never got it
Did you ever order the case? I was also looking into getting one but I like the way this one looks. It looks like an actual fishbone.
no i didn't cause no one freaking responded 200+ view not one response ended up getting a cruzerlite... off amazon and its amazing feels very light but not cheap but the price is great!!! i never really like tpu cases but this one definently got my business thinking about buy a second case different color..
I did see on another forum that someone bought one and he stated that the corners would slip out and he didn't recommend it. But it just looks so cool. I have had an Otterbox Commuter Series on my Sammy Charge and I love it but I thought I would try something different. I will look into the cruzerlite, thanks for the suggestion.
yeah the fishbone was poorly rated when i was looking at it too and the phone is bulky enough as it is and this case doesn't add much bulk at all too it..
I drop my phone alot. And my 3 year old doesn't help matters either, chucking it all over the place so I don't mind the added bulk of the Otterbox Commuter.
I just ordered one from Amazon so I will let you guys know how it is once I get it but I had one a while back for my Fascinate and loved it actually so I'll see how this does with my Bionic.
Had one on a fascinate. It provides basic protection, but not nearly to the level of an otterbox or aegis. Think of it as one step above a silicone case. I had no problems with the corners sliding off.

You guys should check this **** out : http://www.amazon.com/Trident-AG-BIO-RD-Series-Motorola-Bionic/dp/B0060EKDWK/ref=pd_cp_cps_2
I am a big fan of my CaseMate Tough case for Bionic. It is a 2 layer case with soft-silicone inside and hard plastic removable outside layer. It's nice since I can dock in the car and moto desk dock with the soft case and pop on the hard outer case when I am on the go. Last week I think Amazon had the Tough for around $7 w/ free shipping. The fishbone looks like it would be a pain to remove the outer layer, if anyone can comment I'd like to know how easy it is to remove/replace the hard layer.
For those of you who are interested, the CandyShell is out for the Note 2 via Speck Products. Had I not just bought the "iPhone" case I'd probably be all over this. Case is $39.99

Pretty expensive considering you'll scratch it up in a few minutes, it has little grip, and offers little protection.

Co worker got one, thing is freaking bulky. Also a fingerprint and lint magnet.
Had one of these for my iPhone prior to getting the Note 2.
I loves the quality of it and it definitely saved my iPhone from a few drops. Took the case off for the first time since I'd put it on around 18 months prior to sell the phone and (yeah was a bit grubby and dirty) there wasn't a mark on the phone, not one hairline scratch.
Very tempted to get this one for the Note - however as previously said, they are bulky - something you don't really want on an already big phone.
Think I'll need to compare with the official Samsung case.
I have this case and I really like it. For me its the best compromise between protection and slim design. I used the official samsung protective case, but I didn't like how the edges are soft TPU. I dropped my old Galaxy S1 and shattered the glass because it hit the edge first. The TPU case it had didn't provide enough edge protection. I looked at other hard cases (like the Otterbox commuter) but they're bulkier. The price is high and there is no grip, but I'm sticking with it for now.
I just wanted to recommend a product I just received today. Go check out her etsy store. You can get handmade sleeves for just about any device and if your device isn't there, just let her know what you want and she'll make it for you. This sleeve is made with a durable dark denim material on the outside and a stylish, soft colored interior fabric. Well-made and incredibly cheap. I got mine for just $16 + $5.50 shipping. She is based in Latvia so it takes a week or two to get to you but it is well worth the wait. For those of you who are going naked (no case on the Nexus), I highly recommend this seller's product. Even her packaging is well thought out and well designed.

Anyway, there's the link. And no, I am in no way affiliated with this seller.

How tight is it? Could I fit my N7 inside my Poetic case?

Those look really nice, actually. Though I usually don't go for just cloth cases.

No, but you could measure how much extra thickness and width it adds to your tab and send her a custom request. I don't think it costs any extra.. but don't quote me on that. My naked Nexus 7 slides easily, just perfectly, into the sleeve. With my thin incipio hardshell case it was a bit difficult to slide it, though possible. It also has to do with the slightly rubberized texture of the incipio case though.
And yeah, the case is just cloth with some soft fluffy batting inside for some padding. It is actually surprisingly durable, though from a 5 foot fall straight onto the corner of the tab, I'm not sure how much protection it will offer. Though, the corners are probably the best padded part. For throwing in a book bag it's pretty perfect.
I ordered this, it came today. The case is pretty nice. It has a slim profile, tpu backing with rigid sides. I'll have pics up in the morning if anybody is interested. 18.99 on ebay

so here are pictures of the case, sorry im a little late with getting these up. The case is a rigid TPU style case, clear on the back with back accents on the sides. It is a tight fit with the phone, but once in its very secure. The case doesnt wrap around the curvature of the phone all the way, so it looks like there will be no issue with a tempered glass screen protector. All the ports have access, including the IR port for the TV app. There is no lensing issues with the camera, or flash reflection, which is nice. The only real downside to this case is getting used to how far you need to press your finger to use the power switch, but im over that. there is also the slightest of gaps in the top of the case by the power button, but its a non-issue for me. Overall im happy with the case.

Thanks for the pictures, the case looks great! Does it add a lot of bulk or weight to the phone?

its a little thicker, but if i dont have something solid, ill do some foolish thing, all in ll its not bad
I had that case and sent it back for refund. It's a great case but I like a little more edge lip than this had. It's very low profile with excellent grip. I am opting between the clear UAG case or the supcase that I'm still waiting on to be delivered.

yea, i had that same thought. but it grew on me
Just wanted to post a quick review on this case since I haven't seen any info on it here yet. First of all I was only looking for a case to add a bit more grip to this slippery phone, something with minimal bulk and minor drop protection. This case fits the bill perfectly, very slim fitting to the shape of phone with little to no sagging all around. The soft tpu material is very similar to diztronic cases, no silicone messiness here. Has a nice matte, almost sandy finish and I love it gives it the grip I was looking for. Cutouts line up perfectly, and are big enough for all headphones/usb cables that I own, the power button is also cutout so ir blaster should work have yet to test it. The button feel for the volume rockers is completely responsive feels natural as without the case. Drop protection is present but my guess is only small drops will be absorbed (I'm not willing to test this lol). Best part of this case is that it follows the line designs of the back of the phone so it still keeps that awesome design. All in all a great minimal case and and at only $8 shipped with prime it's pretty much a steal. Here's the link, http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IMBUAL8?pc_redir=1398628301&robot_redir=1
edit: eye candy goodness!

I have this case currently. recieved it a few days ago. pretty solid case as i normally don't use cases at all, big fan of the naked feel. it doesn't add that much bulk at all to the phone and fits on the phone very snug so it won't fall off. covers all the corners and all the ports are easily accesible
I just got this case as well. Great fit, great feel, nice slim profile. Highly recommended!
